The last time I posted here, TikTok had just shut down, nobody knew if it was coming back, and I was in Key West, Florida, waiting to make a cross-country move. I had no idea how much my life was about to change. Since then, I moved to Las Vegas, started new chapters in my career, built new c

This crescent moon charm bracelet isn’t part of my Sunbeam Jewelry collection—it’s a private piece that holds personal meaning for me. 🌙 It reminds me of the magic and creativity that sparked my love for jewelry making in the first place. While this bracelet is just for me, it reflects the inspi

I stumbled upon this little treasure today—a nest tucked into the branches, filled with dried berries. It felt like a moment where nature paused to show off its quiet artistry. The Story it Tells This nest isn’t just a home; it’s a snapshot of how wildlife prepares for the colder months. The

Found this charming spot while exploring local boutiques and artisan shops. There's something so peaceful about small-town streets that lead you to the water, where time slows down, and the breeze carries all your worries away. Whether it's the quaint architecture or the inviting shoreline,

It took awhile but I finally received a lemon8 doll! I’m so excited.

Every evening my husband takes me on a drive to get out of the house. You see, he works from home and sometimes we spend the entire day inside. We are cooped up by the end of work so we go out and do something. Last night I was fascinated by these birds flying fairly low above the street lamps. M

There's something magical about watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. Tonight's sunset walk by the lake was nothing short of perfect. My husband and I took a moment to pause and appreciate the simple beauty around us—the gentle ripples on

I bought my Stanley at the height of the craze. My mom was in the hospital with stage five ovarian cancer, and I was flying across the country to be with her while she was in the hospital. I bought the Stanley 40oz in hope it would give me something to drink so I wouldn’t have to leave her side.

Last night, I tried out the Too Good To Go app for the first time, and I’m so glad I did!
