Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Facial Scrub and Mask

You already know I’m the self-proclaimed Chief of The Safer Beauty Tribe. So it should come as no surprise that as much as I enjoy buying safer skincare and cosmetics, I’m also a huge fan of good old-fashioned, all-natural, homemade...

Kate Spade Giveaway

For the past couple of months I’ve been giving away some of my favorite things. I love Kate Spade’s classy products and wanted to share a few of my favorite things with you… think of me as Oprah with a lot less cars.

When I was at the outlets about a month ago I picked up these gorgeous earrings for the giveaway because I wear these earrings almost daily in clear… this pair is a mix between black and clear in a very interesting gray because I figured not many of  you would have one that looks like that. The look just as great with a formal dress as they do with a baseball cap (and if paired with a baseball cap it keeps you from looking shlumpy ;)). Last night I just wore the larger pair to an event AJ and I attended.

The little notebooks are adorable and can be kept in your bag, car or in your kitchen for making grocery lists… and since there are two you can give one to a friend. I just bought a bunch of them for our church’s women’s retreat next weekend.

The water tumbler is a nice big size… perfect to encourage you to get all those ounces in!

The only qualification to be entered into the giveaway is to be subscribed to my email list and live in the USA. You can do that below. Comment below and tell me what part of your home you are most excited to makeover or renovate… mine is, obviously, our kitchen… because demo starts SOON (another reason to be subscribed to the email list!). You get an additional entry on Instagram and Facebook if you are subscribed and I’ll be asking a different question on each site. Those posts will go live sometime Saturday morning.

Entertaining Essentials (Sponsored by Wayfair)

This post is sponsored by Wayfair but all opinions are my own.

If you’ve been following the blog for any amount of time you’ll know that I love entertaining. To get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas I thought I’d round up some of my favorite entertaining essentials.

A GREAT TRAY

This is one of my most essential items. I have a number of trays but this one pictured is one of my faves. It’s enormous so it’s a great centerpiece for the table but yet it’s still small enough that it fits on the coffee table for all the snacks I’d bring to the living room or outside to the patio for company.

A tray keeps me organized, it keeps everything in one spot and it is so simple to move the party if it gets too cold or dark outside or if your crowd wants to move from the kitchen into more comfy seating.

WHITE DISHES

I think my love language are white dishes. All of our everyday ware and serving dishes are all white so that I can mix and match everything. This set is very affordable and this set is all white with a little texture… and this set I’m in love with the blue and white together… it would be perfect for summer time!

SIMPLE WATER AND WINE GOBLETS

I am a big fan of very simple glass water goblets and wine glasses.  These water goblets are exactly like ours… they are heavy weight and don’t have an insane price tag.

A STATEMENT VASE

The actual vase here is incredibly simple but it’s the size that makes the statement on the table. I wanted to pop some branches from our burning bush into the vase to up the “wow” factor on the table but not spend a million dollars doing it. This vase is around $50 so not super cheap but I’m sure it would be a well used piece because of it’s simplicity… I always ask myself about the cost per wear or use and I’m pretty sure you’d be a good bang for your buck with this vase.

 

A DRINK DISPENSER

I’ve had this drink dispenser for years… I never use them for small parties because it’s so large but it’s perfect for huge events like the fall party we hosted a few weekends ago. We had about 75 people here and it was insane! Wayfair has some great drink dispensers like this one and this double one.

Those are just a few of my must have items for entertaining… what are you go-to items?
