It Finally Snowed!

And normally that wouldn’t be news in the winter, but for whatever reason, up until today, there has been absolutely no snow.  And that made me and my little one sad. This is the first, and possibly only snow of the season.

Being from Southern California, we get excited about these little things, and disappointed when they don’t come.

It came in the perfect amount too…just enough to cover the ground,

and make the trees and foliage look pretty, but nothing scary.

Even the hill behind our house is prettier under a blanket of snow.

But I’m sure by tomorrow the majority of it would have melted.

The little one and I got our fix, and now we are content.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Using Things Up: Skincare

After my recent bathroom cleanout, I found a few products that were beyond their expiration date.

Typically, I just use that date as a suggestion or a guide, not as an absolute, I used to believe that it was just a ploy by companies to entice you into repurchasing their products after a certain period

but I’ve learned that they’re there for good reason.

I’m curious, for those of you with larger collections of products, do you go through every once in a while, and clean house?  

I’ll talk to you in the next one…unless you comment below.

Prettiest Bedside Cabinet Ever!

OK, so maybe not the prettiest ever, but to say that I’m very happy with it would be a bit of an understatement.

I bought it from Home Decorators, in their outlet, with an extra 20% off, plus free shipping, and $50 off my total order. Total score! It arrived in a massive box, fully assembled.

The reviews for this particular piece were luke warm to negative with people complaining that their piece arrived damaged or broken, but I’m happy to say that mine arrived in perfect condition. Not even a scratch…and I checked. And with the discounts, I wouldn’t have been annoyed to fix minor issues.

The cabinet is a lot bigger than I expected. The measurements listed are accurate, but it’s big, insanely roomy, and solidly built. It also has a cutout in the back for cords if you happen to be interested in this piece as part of a media center.

It’s 34 inches tall, which will end up being 4 inches taller than the desk on the other side of the bed, but once they’re both decorated, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

There is a lot of Styrofoam that I still have to dispose of, but I guess that’s to be expected. Overall, my bedroom is starting to come together. I can honestly say that I no longer hate my bedroom.

Now off to fill it up, and decorate!

Talk to you in the next one!
