3 Must-Have Accessories to Help You Rock Your Pixie Cut
I tried something different this year and traded my curls for a pixie cut. I’ve gone chin length before, but this is my first experience of having my hair quite this short. I love it, but the jury is still out on whether or not I plan to keep it this way. One thing is for sure: having shorter hair has changed the way that I dress. The cuts and silhouettes that look good with a pixie are not the same as when my hair was long.
My Perfect Hot Toddy Recipe
As a whiskey lover, a hot toddy is an obvious choice for a warm winter drink, but there are so many hot toddy recipes out there, with all different ingredients. Finding the perfect combination took a little experimentation.
The Inspiration Behind My Boho-Boudoir Design Style
Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved design. It actually started with my childhood dollhouse. My first was a Playschool plastic dollhouse, which I received as a Christmas gift. My mom had staged some pretty pieces of furniture in it, and the first occupant was a Vanna White Barbie doll. Yes that’s right — Vanna from Wheel of Fortune was my first Barbie.

6 Habits to Help You Stay Inspired for Your Creative Job
When I started my marketing job, I was excited for an opportunity to do something that I love to do. But I found myself facing creative blockages more often than I thought I would. It was one thing when creativity was purely for fun, but being creative on-demand was more challenging than I ever imagined.
Pink Lemonade Sangria
This delicious sweet and sour sangria is the perfect pink drink for a girl’s night in. I typically stir up a batch of this as a crowd pleaser when I’m having female friends over. Be forewarned: I like my drinks strong! This version packs quite a punch, so if you don’t like your drink quite so strong, switch the measurements to 1 oz of lemoncello and 1/3 cup lemon juice.
6 Tips for Yard Sale Shopping
The only thing that gets me more excited than a trip to the thrift store? A nice Saturday morning yard sale! The deals that I get at yard sales are usually much better than my thrift store deals — which is saying a lot. I’ve gotten a tall faux plant for $5, multiple free chairs, and a hand painted floral tray for $15.
Chili Loaded Baked Potato Skins (With Dairy Free Option)
This recipe is the ultimate comfort food! If you have dairy issues like me, you can make this simple dish with non-dairy yogurt as a delicious sour cream replacement. But if you have no qualms about dairy, I would absolutely recommend that you sprinkle on some grated cheese before you pop these babies in the oven. (And perhaps you could substitute the yogurt for real sour cream.) Either way, these chili-stuffed potatoes are a delicious and hearty meal.
Riverton Garden Tour 2018 Highlights
Garden Tour 2018 was one of the highlights of Spring for me. This tour, hosted by the Porch Club of Riverton, was a gorgeous tour of nine different gardens in Riverton, NJ.
I took hundreds of pictures, and editing down my selection was a challenge. The first stop on the tour, which I’m sharing here, was easily my favorite.
