If we played 2 truths and a lie, one of my truths would be I once lived with a lamp designer briefly in college, and my other would be that for YEARS my mother worked at one of the big 3 MCM furniture companies, and these were not the same people. This is where I my love for fine furniture comes from Noguchi, Breuer, Girard, Nelson, Eames and Panton, Aarnio to Jacobson, and the lovely Florence Knoll, there is so much history in the Mid Century design products and elements, this list is just some of the items I dreamed up one night when I wanted to redecorate- a wish list if you wish, as I fell down the deep rabbit hole of nostalgia. (The lie is what I tell myself that I could afford every piece of this, or have a house big enough for all of it, one day when a Frank Lloyd Wright home style or original comes into my grasp, I would love to fill it with hopes and dreams, laughter and parties.) I long for planning cocktail parties in a home like this.

I love anything that has to do with gardening, flowers or houseplants. I spend hours during the winter planning my layout and what I will be planting in the spring. This year I started companion planting and my garden looks so awesome! I love gardening because it is so satisfying to see something grow and turn into something beautiful. I am always researching new ideas to incorporate in my garden. This year I had my husband help me put up 10 4' x 16' hog panels to make a trellis tunnel for my gourds and mini pumpkins. I am so excited to see how it looks this fall. I also had my husband help me build trellises for my fruit plants. I love trying new products and tools and I LOVE sharing my favorite products with other gardeners. :) Happy planting!
As a current college senior, I’ve figured out what’s actually useful and what just takes up space. This list is packed with my go-to items that made college life easier, more comfortable, and a little more fun :)
Growing up, I had the privilege of living in one of the most tidiest homes in America (I’m not even kidding…my mom cleaned daily and was extremely neat). Sometimes I would just watch her out of pure amazement and curiosity and then somewhere along the line it became a goal of mine to be clean and tidy as well. I’m nowhere near her level, but I have developed the habit of cleaning daily and desiring for my home to smell pleasant. However, there is a tiny difference in how we approach things when it comes to cleaning. She tends to gravitate towards popular commercial cleaning products, whereas I find joy in creating my own cleaning products and reaching for sustainable brands when I’m unable to come up with my own cleaning technique(s). As you can imagine, creating my own cleaning products means that I had to start from scratch, do a lot of research, and experience a lot of trial and error. Even so, I’ve been able to create a pretty solid cleaning system centered around sustainability. I know there are others out there that desire to implement sustainability into their cleaning technique(s) as well, so I compiled a list of eco friendly products that I can’t live without (and what I'm inspired by). My hope is that by compiling this list, you won’t have to start from scratch like I did and hopefully it will make your trial and error process a little bit easier. So if you’re ready to ditch the commercial cleaning brands and start shopping for/creating your own sustainable cleaning products…then scroll down below to browse through my list of eco friendly cleaning products I can't live without!
