Laundry is never going to be my favorite chore, so I’m all about anything that makes it easier, faster, and a little less annoying. These are the laundry products, stain removers, baskets, organizers, and other little helpers I actually like and recommend. I’m especially drawn to things that work well, smell good without being overwhelming, and help keep laundry from taking over the house.

I like to keep my kitchen as minimalist as possible! I don't know about you but storage is limited in my house so it's important to make sure my items are effective and can often times serve many purposes.

Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains have so much more to offer than the usual tourist stops. These are some of my personal favorite places to eat, explore, shop, and spend a day around East Tennessee. I’ve included local restaurants, fun things to do, easy day trips, and spots worth the drive into the Smokies. Think of it as recommendations from a Knoxville local for when you’re wondering, “What should we do today?”

After 30 years behind the chair, I’ve tried a LOT of hair products. These are the ones that have actually earned a spot on my tried-and-true list. I’m all about products that perform, not hype, so you’ll find everything from professional favorites to surprisingly good drugstore finds. Whether you’re dealing with fine hair, dryness, damage, frizz, or just want your hair to behave better, these are products I genuinely recommend.
