Making Life Beautiful

 Happy Tuesday! The last several years, I have been all about "romanticizing" my life and making everything special. Here are a few way I make life beautiful in little ways every day!

Use pretty bowls, plates, serving pieces, etc.

We got a few bowls on our honeymoon in Mexico, and I rarely ever use them. Yesterday I decided to eat my bagged salad out of it. Such a simple thing, but I loved eating from this bowl and remembering when we bought it! Plus, it's pretty!!

Here's a little peek into my serving piece cabinet! I got majority of these as wedding gifts! I could choose to serve out of original packaging, but doing serving out of pretty pieces just elevates things a little. It's no secret that I love to pull out the fine china for something as simple as a piece of Papa Johns pizza! I mean, why not?? Life is too short to not use those plates that cost quite a pretty penny. In addition to the pretty serving pieces....

Drinking glasses....

I love love love Estelle wine glasses for wine of course, but I also sometimes drink juice or something like La Croix out of them. Again, they cost a pretty penny, and I want to use them as often as possible! 

McCarty Pottery.

This is a Mississippi thing....this pottery is made in the MS Delta, and I love it so much. Serving pieces, animals, vases, and so much more. I have it all over my house, and it just makes me happy! I was gifted my first two pieces by our neighbor friend when I was maybe 11 or so, and I have built up quite a collection since then. If you ever find yourself in the Delta, take a little trip to the studio in Merigold! 

Gift wrapping...

Gift giving is my love language! I love to give a gift, and I love to make the gift as pretty as possible. I got this floral wrapping paper at Walmart for just a few dollars, the ribbon is reused from some of our wedding gifts, and my sister gave us the cute gift tags! I get to give this gift on Saturday, and I am so excited 😂. 

Display nice cookware.

Notice my newest addition to my kitchen?? I have been wanting a Le Creuset dutch oven for quite some time, and I am so happy to have gotten one! And of course in pink 😉. There's no way this thing was going in a cabinet!! I also display my cute Kate Spade tea kettle! And my mixer...also of course pink!

Get dressed and put shoes on.

I may not do this every day....but, I do as much as possible. It just makes me feel better and more productive when I get dressed in something cute! However, I can also be quite productive in pjs and slippers- ha!

Nice laundry detergent.

My clothes, sheets, and blankets smelling really good makes them feel nicer! I've been using Laundry Sauce for several months now, and I love it so much. I use the Egyptian Rose, and it is heavenly!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

Friday Favorites {10.18.24}

 Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Well guess what is back tonight?? NEW Hallmark Christmas movies!! Ummm YAY!! I'm most excited about Confessions of a Christmas Letter (Angela from The Office is starring in that one!) and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story! For some foodie faves... This right here. It made my week. I'm obsessed with the tuna from Beagle Bagel. It's amazing. I can never say it enough! I made egg drop soup for the lunch the other day, and it was really good! It's always been my favorite soup from Chinese buffets. I didn't feel great and wanted a soup...luckily I had all the ingredients. I used this recipe here. The weather this week was absolute perfection.  I mean, it was really, really cool. And it was fabulous. So, that means.... I broke out a sweater and my Sorel booties that I love so much! I always forget how good the Bible app is. I opened it up...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...
