The Companion to a Simplified Life
I have a weakness for Yankee Candles. I know they are cliche and expensive, but I have yet to find another brand that lives up to Yankee’s standard. Call me a brand snob, I can take it. A typical mall date for me and my husband will inevitably find us in the Yankee Candle Store […]

Love custom photo albums – but WHO HAS THE TIME? *raises hand* I love this era where we all have 10,000 digital photos on our computers, but I HATE that we don’t have any photos printed […]
I used to love journaling – when I had free time to sit and brood about my life. But maybe for the last 10 years, I haven’t journaled at all – not through my studying abroad, my early jobs, my early marriage, and now my first child. I have failed at keeping a consistent written […]

I can’t hide that I love Maria Menounos. I am reading her two books now (EveryGirl’s Guide to Life and EveryGirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness) and what I love is that she is super down to earth. For a girl that has got it all together, she is really a normal girl. (Want another […]
