I recently changed the color of my room from teal to a darker grey, And got rid of a lot of my old stuff. I am now left with a very empty room that needs to be filled, with no style in mind. So these are things, at a reasonably good price, that I would put in my bedroom :)

Listen, I knew one thing when we decided to get a driveway gate… I was NOT about to get out of my car every single time I needed to open and close it! 😂🚗 Especially when it's raining!

I love plants and cannot enter a garden center or nursery without leaving with a plant. I am the reason Trader Joe's has plants by the front door...they know I'll have one (or two) in my basket by the time I make it to the cash register. It's an addiction really. I like plants: real, fake, on fabric, it does not matter.
Big big candle lover, I've lost count of how many candles I own. You can find below my fave scents of the following brands: Yankee (og), Voluspa (favourite brand and I feel like it's unfortunately so unknown), Woodwick (not the most aesthetic, but the wooden wick makes such a satisfying crackling noise), Jo Malone (more pricey but they never fail with their scents), Diptyque (also quite pricey but soo chic), Rituals (not really known for its candles, but I swear they smell soo nice).
These are a few products for the home that I use on a regular basis. From soap to trash bags and frying pans, the one thing they have in common is they're good for the environment, or minimize their impact on the environment in one way or another.
