Comin' to ya with my 200th post! Whenever I acknowledge a little bloggy milestone I like to write a round-up or reference post because they are how I began this blog over two years ago. Today's will pit shower scrub vs. shower scrub, vs. shower scrub, vs. whipped soap...I could continue but essentially, it's a... Continue Reading →
January Superlatives
Best moments of the month: *Spending MLK day weekend with our great friends who live a few hours away. Spinning my friend's LP collection late into the night, and basking in the up-close sounds from legendary voices, Holly, Cash and Lennon, while our husbands played guitar along with the Beatles, Petty, Floyd and Zeppelin. Craft... Continue Reading →
Wax Round-up 2017
Amidst 23 different wax vendor hauls (down 14 from last year, but with more multiples from single vendors) in addition to another 17 or so brands generously gifted to me this year, I am not wanting for wax melts. Which means narrowing down to a top ten would be nigh impossible; therefore, I'm highlighting my... Continue Reading →
Fall Fun Series II: The Finale
It's time to put the Fall Fun Series to bed with a countdown of favorite products and moments of the season, and a sleepy sort of season it was.

Halloween Mystery Sampler- The Bathing Garden
About a month ago, I was hanging out with my sister who casually mentioned that The Bathing Garden was making a Halloween sampler. Not a member of the facebook group, I had no knowledge of the announcement, but when asked if I wanted to split one, I surely wasn't turning down the offer. Incorrectly assuming... Continue Reading →
Summer in full swing at The Bathing Garden
If, like me, you secured The Bathing Garden's summer collections a little late, June instead of May, your package arrived in all it's vibrant summery glory last week. Evidently, the 6 week turnaround-time for TBG orders will be a thing of the past as Shannon recently announced that she's transitioning to Ready-to-Ship restocks. More thoughts... Continue Reading →
May’s monthly highlights and NYC itinerary
Hello friends, I hope nobody minds an early recap this month. I'll be too busy with last minute travel plans to push it back any farther, as this Memorial Day holiday provides a perfect opportunity to whip up a quick post. May was full of many lovely melting and blog-related moments. I received generous gift... Continue Reading →
