In January, it’s all about the New Year’s resolutions. Bring on the gym memberships, the weight loss goals, the meal prep, using less plastic, volunteering at the soup kitchen, and, perhaps, taking a pottery class. Getting fit, losing weight, and caring for yourself are always at the top of the list, right? Yeah, they…
Sparkly and shiny with a twist of nature seems to be the style for Christmas in 2018. And as you’ll see from my Favourite December Things list, that works for me! Pulling together a favorites list for holiday decor is hard because I like so many things. I also find that I…
