Early Spring Refresh

Okay, I’m pretty sure January is not considered spring in anyone’s encyclopedia.  As in, it is the dead of winter.  But my mood badly needed an early spring refresh. I would not call this a redecorate, but I added a few cheerful touches that put me right in the spring mindset. Come along and let […]

Valentine Shop With Me

If you’re ready to celebrate the holiday of love, or if you just want to look at cute red and pink hearts, come along and Valentine shop with me! I’m not sure that I really need any Valentine merch, but I did get out and see some adorable things I don’t need but want to […]

Beauty Haul

It feels funny using the word “beauty” associated with my cosmetic and skin care routine, but I don’t know what else to call my latest purchases.  After a trip to TJ Maxx and Ulta, I got a nice beauty haul to share with you. It’s always good for me to stop by TJ Maxx before […]

December 2024 Potpourri

Hello, my friends.  Potpourri is my chatty post catching you up on what we have been doing and providing recommendations on what I love.  And.  Maybe just letting you know about what I don’t love but what is necessary.  Like exercise. Or bad books. What I’m Doing Let me start this by saying that I […]

Shop with Me

You’ve heard of personal shoppers.  As in setting up an appointment with a store employee to help you find perfect outfits. But me?  I have a personal, personal shopper!  DF Evon has a hobby job working at J Crew Factory and gave me white glove service this week as we did some wardrobe refreshing for […]

Recommended New Purchases

(That Have Absolutely, Positively Nothing to Do With Christmas) We have not had a shopping trip in a long time, so I thought I would show you some new purchases that receive a big thumbs up from me. And yes, they have absolutely, positively nothing to do with Christmas. But.  I started this post while […]

Weekend Fun!

Yep, it’s that time of year in Arizona.  The time of year when each day becomes more packed than the day before.  That time of year when weekends start on Wednesday.  And when weekends are fun! Here’s a recap of some of the fun we had and now why I’m detoxing and in recovery.  Ha! […]

Aldi Run

I don’t hear many people talking about shopping at Aldi.  And we don’t go as frequently as I’d like because our nearest location is not too convenient. And they don’t have every single thing we need.  But what they have is excellent and I want to share our latest Aldi run. Prepackaged Meals Aldi has […]

Clothes Closet Refresh

A tiny little clothes closet refresh has been on my agenda for a couple weeks and I finally got to it. Motivation was in short supply lately.  Maybe cooler, shorter days have something to do with it.  Maybe a full(ish) schedule is the problem. I don’t know, but I tackled it and you’ll be surprised […]

Costco Produce Haul

On the hunt for decent produce (especially fruit), I decided to bite the bullet and get the large quantities Costco sells. Costco’s bulk sizes on many items (like paper goods and OTC drugs) is no problem if you have the storage space. But it’s a little off-putting with produce that won’t keep when you’re a […]
