If you love carbonated water like I do, you should invest in a Drinkmate!

What makes this one different is you can carbonate ANY drink. I have been using Stur water enhancers. My favorite flavor is “Coconut Pineapple” it tastes just like a tropical drink on vacation 🥥🍍

I love peonies; they are one of my favorite flowers. But fresh flowers die so quickly, so I recently found these gorgeous peony stems at Micheals. Love them!

If you are a fan of linen (washable), then you need to check out Banana Republic Factory’s spring tops! I love this linen top with cap shoulders. I also bought two linen tank tops.

I got a few new plants last week and repotted them. Fingers crossed that I can keep them alive 🤞🏻

My bamboo plant stand looked a bit bare 🤭 I love my blue and white ceramic indoor pot. 🪴

We went to the Sunken Garden in St Petersburg and saw live Flamingos 🦩 I absolutely love them!

They have the cutest gift shop. I have linked some similar notecards because the ones I found were so adorable!

This photo doesn’t do the color of our new Simple Human paper towel dispenser justice 🤩 It’s a beautiful color of gold & no more fighting getting the roll on and off. 👏🏻 It goes perfectly with our newly updated kitchen

Yes, I did get new faux fur criss-cross slippers for Christmas 🎄 They are super soft and comfortable, perfect for balcony sitting!

Everyone needs a Christmas palm tree sweatshirt 🌴 I’m not typically a Christmas sweater person but I made an exception for these beachy ones I recently found ❤️

Are you a Christmas sweater kind of person?

Does anyone not take a selfie anymore? If you do then you know that lighting can make all of the difference in the world.

Give the gift of good lighting in someone’s stocking this year! Lol! And grab one for yourself while you are at it!

It is a perfect stocking stuffer for the women in your life, and be sure to grab one for yourself! Lol!

If you love sweet & salty treats, then you need to try this one!

I made these for our upcoming Christmas trip; they travel well! Someone told me that they put pecans on them instead of another pretzel. I don’t think you can go wrong with whatever you choose!

Have you tried them before?

#LTKhome #LTKVideo #LTKparties

Do you have a friend or a loved one that could use a pick-me-up? Grab a box of Wonder Under Eye Masks for the perfect stocking stuffer!

Tired eyes be gone! Lol!

You may think that this isn’t necessary, but after you use them and, you wash your face and you don’t have water running down your arms, you will wonder why it took you so long to get one!

These are also great stocking stuffer ideas for the women in your life! I have this and a few other options linked on my LTK page.

Is it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit when you live in Florida or a warm climate?

My answer is nope! Not a chance! I think it is fun being able to mix Christmas with everything coastal. Palm trees, flamingos, shells, you name it!

Plus, having the ability to go shopping or looking at lights and not freezing is priceless 🙌🏻

Are you looking for a last-minute stocking stuffer idea?

Put this at the top of your list, and you might want one for yourself!

It’s a cloudy, rainy, comfy kinda Sunday! You can find me getting laundry done and cleaning today. I might even sneak in a movie.

I am wearing my favorite top I found this season, Evereve Varley Half-zip dupe in black. Along with my black joggers with pockets, of course! Lol!

This year I added Mini Boxwood wreaths with berries to our kitchen cabinets. I used small Command hooks so I wouldn’t damage the cabinets and can remove after Christmas!

I love the way they look 🎄

Does anyone else like to substitute lunch with a smoothie? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I love using my Ninja blender because it has Auto-IQ so it makes the perfect smoothie 👌🏻

I did away with my big and bulky Christmas garland for our mantle and went with a lighted lamb’s ear. I intertwined a pinecone garland with it.

I like to keep some of my everyday decor and mix in Christmas.

I also swapped my palm leaves in my amber vase for pine stems. I also found some cute coastal Christmas trees with shells and starfish. ❤️

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

It’s the small touches I love the most when decorating for Christmas. And yes, I did keep my pineapple vase on my dining room table but switched out my palm leaves for pine branches.

I don’t know about you, but a few years ago, I decided to steer clear of decorations with sparkles on them. I couldn’t stand every time you moved them having to clean up sparkles. What are your thoughts on that?

This is my second set of these candles from Amazon! The GenSwin Flameless LED Flickering Candles are better than any flameless candles I have been able to find in the store.

They can be programmed to 2,4,6,8 hrs. And you can adjust the brightness and flicker mode! They also have different options to choose from for the glass color.

The other day, I asked if you had a “uniform” or go-to outfit that you go to when you are hanging around the house.

Mine is usually joggers and a T-shirt, and I always have my open monogrammed cardigan in hand reach! These Cardigans from Marleylilly are so soft. I have one in black and tan!

I love the initial pendant and simple sterling silver cross.

Do you have a “uniform” that is your “go-to” for wearing around the house when you don’t plan on going anywhere?

I do! On those cool Florida days, I pull out my black joggers and throw on a comfy t-shirt, sweater, or sweatshirt!

If you have a small dog and haven’t tried using a sling, I highly recommend it! Theo absolutely lobbied his! When I get it out, he runs & jumps to get in it.

We usually use it when we go to stores, but we recently used it for his first trip to the airport.

While some people only pull out their slow cooker when the cooler weather sets in, I use mine all year! I love mine.

If you don’t have a pressure cooker/slow cooker, then you are missing out! While I am too chicken to use the pressure cooker part of it, I am constantly using the slow cooker feature. You can program up to 9 hours, brown, and it has a warming feature when cooking! I have never had a meal burn since throwing out my crockpot and switching to a slow cooker/pressure cooker.

I found this quilted “Puffer” skirt while shopping in Colorado! I would have 100% bought it if we lived in a cold climate.

Pair this with a pair of leggings and boots, and you will have a super cute outfit!

It’s winter, and that means dry, chapped lips. But it doesn’t have to! I live in Florida, and we don’t get cold weather, but I still have always struggled with dry lips.

Someone turned me onto Laneige's lip sleeping mask. Since I started using this before bed, my lips aren’t dry. PS, it’s a great stocking stuffer!

We recently updated our kitchen, and when we did, we replaced our outlets with USB plugs. I highly recommend doing this!!

This is my second watch band from this Amazon company. The other one was pink, but this one is more neutral for fall and winter. I love them because they last and wear well.
