I am sure most of you have already decorated your Christmas tree. I typically do it in the second week of December, so I will be setting up mine over the weekend. I am still thinking about what theme I want to choose for decorating my tree this year. Should I make it multi-colored or two toned? Should I opt for a vintage look or a modern, contemporary one? I am still going through all these options in my head and hope to finalize something soon! Meanwhile, here are some pictures of my Christmas tree decor from last year. I chose a gold and white theme and added a pop of red via the…
Happy Monday everyone! It’s the most wonderful time of the year. A time to be your most happy, shiny, bright and positive self.

Check out two of my favorite recipes here, and share your favorite recipes via comments…

Sephora has some stunning gift boxes for sale on their website, and the best part is they are all discounted and cost less than $25! I have my eyes on a couple of them in particular, especially the makeup palettes. Check out all…
