My tulips have begun to sprout out of the ground. That means that Spring is right around the corner! There’s just something about Spring that makes me actually enjoy cleaning. I love to open the windows, crank up the music, and clean my house top to bottom. Here are a few DIY recipes using my favorite Young Living oils and all-purpose cleaner that I have mixed up to use. No harsh chemicals or bleach for us!
Tis the season of love! Whether you’ve been married 20 years, are newly engaged, or are still looking for “the one”, I think we can agree that romantic movies just make us feel good. Yes, they may be cheesy. Yes, they may be predictable. But I don’t think you can watch one and not enjoy it. I’ve rounded up some of my all-time favorite romantic movies. I plan on watching every single one of these this month!
If you have a favorite romantic movie that didn’t make my list, please leave a comment below and share it. I’m always down for trying a new movie!
I gave up store-bought perfumes several years ago. Our skin is our largest organ and anything you apply to it gets absorbed into your body. I don’t like applying artificial fragrances to my skin. Instead, I make up my own perfume using essential oils. I add oils to a 10 ml roller bottle, fill with a carrier oil, and apply to my wrists and neck. Here are a few ideas for you to try this month.

We headed to Austin to ring in the New Year with friends. The trip was just what we needed. Good friends are always good for the soul. We usually only see each other once every 2 or 3 years, but once we get together, it’s like no time has passed at all.
Here are a few purchases that I’ve made recently that I am loving!
New Balance 996 sneakers in grey/silver.
Salutation Jogger in black camo.
