V-Day In Our Home

Over the weekend I added a few Valentine details around our home…

I loooove pulling out my craft bin. For this project, I actually had everything I needed on hand already. All I used was baker's twine, doilies, mason jars and craft paper.

Quick tutorial: Cut out heart from scrapbook paper {I used a cookie cutter to trace mine}. Glue them to doilies. Tape doily to jar. Wrap baker's twine around the jar 4-5 times. Voila!

{Valentine Vases!!}

Our Valentine tablescape: 3 bunches of tulips for $10, plus candles and mason jars. Please ignore the leaning candle.

Festive Dish Towels: Pack of 2 for $3.99 at TJ Maxx Home Goods 

 Red Polka Dot Burlap Pillow: a Christmas Gift {purchased from Etsy}

And of course, no V-day decor is complete without several bowls of conversation hearts spread throughout the house.   Are you decorating for Valentine's Day?

Loving Lately

A few things I'm loving lately...

Bath & Body Work's Stress Relief Aromatherapy Bath Soap {Eucalyptus Spearmint}: I have been on a serious bath kick recently and apparently the husband has noticed. He surprised me over the weekend with aromatherapy bath soap as well as a new candle! Gosh, I love him.

Clementines dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. My new favorite snack - I cannot get enough of these. They are sweet, salty and fruity all at the same time! Oh, and they are easy to make and store.

 My new Philosophy face cleansing products {thanks to my sister}! I can't get over how amazing these products are.

My new desk chair - a 75 cm exercise ball. Boy, can I feel a core workout on this!

Get Your Tulips to Tango {Part II}

I would be seriously surprised if anyone was reading my blog way back when I posted about how to "Get Your Tulips to Tango" last February.
Anyway tulip season is officially upon us, and if you are like me you have already purchased a handful of bouquets to brighten your home. My Harris Teeter sells three tulip bouquets for $10. That is 15 STEMS, friends! 
And if you want some tricks on how to get your tulips to open up fast and last up to 10 days, check out {this post}!

I spread my bouquets all throughout the house! Until I can find the perfect dining table centerpiece, I am filling it up with vases of hot pink tulips.
