It's Christmas time! I love the season, the colors, the vibes, the weather. It truly is the most wonderful time of year.

This is a brain dump of Christmas gift ideas for any and everybody in my family's life.

My dream is to have this lush garden full of flowers and plants with fruits and vegetables that I can put on the dinner table. Unfortunately, I did NOT inherit my mom's green thumb. I used to struggle to keep the "easiest" plants alive. Aloe Veras, succulants, and cati are NOT unkillable btw :). This summer I finally got a decent picking of some vegetables and even kept a 4ftx4ft garden box alive with herbs, flowers, and veggies! I finally feel like I CAN garden! So this board will become my 'brain dump' of ideas, fails, and wins to help me keep my gardening journey going and hopefully help out anyone else that just felt like the death nurse to any plant :)

My Indian ethnicity gives me my brown skin I've come to love. However, it makes it hard sometimes to find products that work. Many shades can look ‘pink’ or ‘yellow’ on me. I've tried many different brands and shades. And when I find one that I like- I mistakenly throw out the finished bottle and THEN can't remember the correct shade! I'm glad to have one place to put what works for me.

I had to learn over my 40 years how to take care and style my curly hair. No one in my family had curly hair to teach me any tips and tricks to have good hair. I have tried and failed with many products over the years. I am happy to finally have a place to put the ones I have tried and liked. They are different brands and are at different price points so no matter your budget, I'm sure there's something here for you. Enjoy!

My most loved nurse gear

I am creating this list to prepare for our summer trip to Amsterdam and Berlin !

I received many book recommendations this year from friends and family. Follow me as I work on my list!

Great tools and ideas to help with all the things mom life :)

Halloween is THE holiday we go all out for. I love all the decorations! I'm that person that puts out their decorations EARLY! This board consists of what I have and my wish list. I usually buy one ‘Big’ decoration a year but always add in the smaller items to help fill the yard.
