I’ll be sharing my favorite new finds, things I’m loving, and go-to products here.

Aembr Secret Garden, I have been going on and on about this one. Aembr is vegan, clean-burning, and natural. The fragrance is not a fake fragrance but a beautiful floral scent.

 

 

 

I wish that I had bought the Pura device sooner. It can be programmed by an app to a set schedule and fragrance intensity. I turn mine on from 7am until 9 pm. The selection of fragrances is endless. I have lilac in mine right now.

 

 

 

 

Mackenzie-Childs is always a favorite and this Lavender Fields lotion has a light beautiful fragrance. I also really like the bottle design too. I keep this on my bedside table and it’s the last thing that I put on every night before bed.

 

 

 

How pretty is this cake stand from Mosser Glass? This blue color is gorgeous and I will be styling this for my Spring table. Did you know that Mosser Glass is a Longaberger partner? What would you put on this cake stand?

 

 

 

I was looking for a new inspirational book and The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama was it. She can relate to how we all have been feeling and I feel so inspired after reading it.

 

 

 

I have tried a few other journals but keep coming back to this one. Just a few minutes each morning and evening to start and end the day on a positive note.

 

 

 

 

I love a good planner and my go-to has been Plum Paper Planners for the last few years. You can customize the entire thing to suit your needs. Of course, I love the monogram too!

 

 

 

I am loving my new Cricut Easy Press. I have made a few shirts and am working on some more fun creations! There are so many options and endless possibilities with this machine.

 

 

 

I love Aerin fragrances and this one has become my go-to for winter, Aerin Cedar Violet. It is meant to give you the feel of the Adirondacks with notes of Muguet, Violet Leaf, Golden Gardenia, Jasmine, Australian Album Sandalwood, Virginia Cedarwood in a Woody Floral scent. It’s so unique and like nothing that I had ever tried before

 

 

I added this Mackenzie-Childs Santa to my collection a few years ago. The colors are just so beautiful and the owl is a perfect addition to the piece.

 

 

 

 

I love Hallmark Channel, especially at this time of year. When I was out running errands and saw this bottle of wine, I had to pick it up. The bottle design is just so cute.

 

 

 

Another favorite that I added to my collection from Emma Bridgewater. A commemorative mug. I have quite a collection of mugs and keep adding more.

 

 

 

 

I needed a floor mat for the sunroom and looked no further than Emma Bridgewater. This one was perfect for the outdoor theme.

 

 

 

 

I always have a box of these Wine Gums sitting at my desk. A favorite treat. I’m not sure why I love these so much but I do.

 

 

 

 

I finally picked up a Pura diffuser. I have had my eye on these for a long time and I am so glad I picked one up. The machine is run by an app that controls intensity and fragrance level. Awesome purchase.

 

 

 

Fall scents, bring them on. This reed diffuser from Longaberger has hints of black coral, moss, and fir. The scent is perfect and not overpowering for the fall/winter season.

 

 

 

These artificial apples from Amazon were just what I was looking for to finish my fall table design. I needed a little pop of color to coordinate with my fall fruit and natural rustic theme.

 

 

 

Continuing my love of Capri Blue Volcano I added some more products to my collection. They have really expanded the line of products and I purchased an all-purpose cleaner, linen spray, hand cream, and a small purse-size perfume. One of my favorite scents ever.

 

 

 

This pink glass cake stand from Longaberger & Moser Glass makes the perfect focal point on a kitchen counter or table display. The color is so soft that it will coordinate with any style and add just a hint of color to a room.

 

 

 

 

Theorem Helix Conditioning Curl Cleanser may be a surprise favorite because I do not have curly hair. It really should just be named a cleansing conditioner. I love a one-step system. This product makes my hair so soft, smooth, bouncy and conditioned. It has been a new favorite for me.

 

 

 

My first purchase from Molly B Originals and it will not be my last. This monogram necklace is stunning and I love that it is interchangeable. I only have to buy different monograms and they will work with this necklace. She has so many unique pieces and customer service was top-notch. Check them out.

 

 

 

Candles and scents are a must in my home. Capri Blue Volcano is one of my go-to scents. It’s so unique. This is the scent that you will always find burning at Anthropologie.

 

 

 

 

Of course, you need a fun mug to drink your tea from. I have quite a collection of mugs from Emma Bridgewater. This one is from the Emma Bridgewater Jubilee collection. I had to pick up a memento from Her Majesty’s jubilee!

 

During the pandemic, I took up needlepoint. It was something that I had always wanted to learn. As a beginner, I have needed advice and guidance. My go-to store is Lycette Designs in Palm Beach. They have always been so helpful in helping me select the right project and with tips and advice. They also have a store in Newport. They have kits for beginners and I love the attention to personal service and detail with every order.

 

Summer to me means sitting down in the evening with a good read. I am enjoying The Lost Summers of Newport that my book club is reading. A story of a Newport family and mansion spanning generations. A reality show is to be filmed in the present time and what secrets will be uncovered. The host may also have a few secrets to be revealed too. There is romance, mystery, and suspense. It’s fun to imagine the different time periods and everything that a home has seen. I highly recommend it.

 

There is nothing better than a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. I always have a hard time finding smaller frame sunglasses and these are perfect. I love this pair of Baby Beach sunglasses. A smaller frame with a rose gold frame and pink lenses.

If you are ever in the Phoenix area the Desert Botanical Gardens is a must. We became members so we can go as often as we like when we are in AZ.

One trip to the gardens and you will fall in love with the desert landscape!

Warmer weather is upon us and I am ready for it. Lilly Pulitzer dresses are my go-to pieces. Colorful, cheerful, and classic designs. Add a pair of gold sandals, a small necklace, bracelet stack, and a great bag for a perfect Spring look.

 

 

 

The Theorem. Method consists of three products that work together to give you the best hair ever. Density is part one, perfect for the hair shaft. Weak strands with damaged cuticles cause hair breakage and this prevents hair from growing long and thick. Theorem Density Conditioning Treatment repairs the cuticle with an advanced silicone-infused formula (botox for the hair). Leave on damp hair for 5-10 minutes and hair is strengthened and thicker. I use it every third wash. Use with heat for even better results. Normally heat causes hair to become brittle but not with Density. Density uses the power of heat to strengthen hair. The silicon will expand making hair even thicker.

The best bag you’ll ever have, the camo pink and orange tote from Initial Outfitters by Carrie Kelly Lifestyle! Not only is it sturdy, but it’s also soft and water-resistant, perfect for summer fun! Includes a detachable matching cosmetic pouch for all your important necessities. An easy way to embrace the camo trend!

 

 

 

These Just For Fun stone and bead earrings from Initial Outfitters by Carrie Kelly Lifestyle put the fun in accessorizing.  They are so simple and easy to wear and the bonus is they add a pop of color to your outfit. Dress up or down and the colors just say Spring. Spring is almost here, right? A different color for each outfit! Colorful stones mixed with gold beads on a french wire hook.  2.5″ Drop. Let your unique personality shine with Carrie Kelly Lifestyle.

The harsh Midwest winter had been doing a number on my skin. It was so unhappy and reactive. A friend recommended that I try Tula Sensitive Skin Treatment Drops. Just a few drops of this mixed with my serum have made such a difference. I notice my skin is not so red and irritable. I plan on keeping this in my routine twice a day for the foreseeable future.

 

 

 

Valentine’s Day will soon be here. I love all the pink, hearts, and flowers. Just means Spring is soon to follow! A beautiful sentimental piece of jewelry is always appropriate. This stamped stainless steel bracelet from Carrie Kelly Designs And Boutique is a gift that will always be treasured. Personalize this with up to 5 characters. Personalization is always complimentary.

 

My blond hair can sometimes be so hard to maintain, it likes to turn too yellow for my taste. I have tried many purple shampoos and conditioners too. I stopped into Aveda to pick up a few things and was intrigued by their Blonde Revival line. I decided to just grab the conditioner because I just ordered a new bottle of Tressa Watercolors silver shampoo. This conditioner has been amazing and leaves my hair so soft while neutralizing the yellow in it. And of course, the smell is amazing. I’m going to stop back in and pick up the shampoo too. I rotate these products and only use them once a week.

I enjoy a cup of tea or hot chocolate daily. The Smeg kettle has been my go-to for years. And it’s pink, my favorite color! The kettle is available in a wide range of colors to compliment any style and decor. It is so versatile and brews water quickly thanks to the heating element that it rests on. I have a coffee/tea/hot chocolate cart in my kitchen and this looks perfect on it. Everything I need is in one place, mugs, teas, hot chocolates, and accompaniments. When I am entertaining, I set up a small self-serve station and the kettle is perfect. I don’t have to worry about bringing hot water to a different location. The Smeg also makes a great gift, package one with your favorite products for a gift that someone would love! If you are looking for a unique kettle, I highly recommend a Smeg!

 

Inspiration never looked so trendy with this Faith, Hope, Love bracelet from Carrie Kelly Designs And Boutique.  Faith, Hope, and Love are words to live by. When you combine that with animal prints in a multi-strand bracelet stack you have a bracelet that you will want to wear every day. Magnetic closure, 7.5″, 1.25″ wide

 

 

I have to admit, I love scents and perfumes. I change my fragrances each season. Aerin fragrances have become my favorites. They are so unique. Amber Musk is still one of my fall/winter favorites but the new Cedar Violet is incredible. The scent is like something I have never found before, it’s like you are in a woodland. Cedar Violet is my new scent for the season!

I took a trip to Palm Beach this summer with a group of Lilly friends. It was a fabulous trip. I highly suggest it if you are looking for a girls’ trip destination. Check this blog out for a full Palm Beach recap! In Palm Beach a couple of years ago I had a custom Lilly Pulitzer shift dress made. This year I decided to do a custom crossbody bag. I already have a custom clutch and I knew that the crossbody would get so much use!

 

 

It was time to give my dining room a mini-makeover. As an Interior Redesigner I pride myself in changing the look of a room without the expense of a remodel.  A change of paint, rearranging the furniture, and repurposing a few decor pieces from another room created a new look in no time. I chose Magnolia Homes Olive Grove Paint color, a beautiful shade of green.

I love Halloween. It really is one of my favorite days of the year. Custom shirts are always a fun way to celebrate a holiday. I put my own spin on one this year and had a shirt custom-made in my signature pink color from the Caffeinated Hair Fairy on Etsy. I also purchased a boss witch tank too. Must have options. The milk carton water bottle is my favorite. Everything is packaged beautifully and with a few little extra treats too! I have purchased multiple pieces from this shop and have been pleased with all of them! I highly recommend this shop!

I love using trays throughout my home. Every room has a least one tray in it if not more. This black and white checkered wooden tray from Initial Outfitters by Carrie is one of my favorites. Buffalo check is such a hot trend in home decor, and this is a great way to add a touch of it in without a great expense. Trays have a way of grouping and organizing items together. I think everything looks better on a tray. My favorite spices and oils are on a tray in my kitchen. I use a tray to present food and snacks. Flowers and candles sit on one in my family room. My favorite perfumes and toiletries are on one in my bathroom. So versatile in every room. They also make a fabulous gift.
