Hi Reader,We're almost to the finish line of this Black Friday/Cyber Monday crazy madness. How did you fare? Is your wallet relatively safe or overheating from the blistering insanity? So I talk about buying only things you need, but sometimes, everything gets thrown out the window and I have to buy something that's completely useless that serves no point whatsoever. In this case, I'm talking about two plush pillows. One I got as a gift for my son who loves Eggo's. (There's two cute waffle...

Hi Reader,I hope you're surviving the Black Friday madness.When I was a child, living in the U.S., Black Friday wasn't a thing. It was usually a special day that fell during the Thanksgiving holidays. Then years later, there was the fun of finding deals on that Black Friday weekend. You know, when you went into physical stores! I remember booking an an impromptu shopping trip to Chicago with my then boyfriend (now husband) where he mapped out all the stores so I didn't have to plan anything....

Hi Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful end to your weekend and happy Thanksgiving if you're in the U.S.I'm prepping for my birthday which is tomorrow. Monday birthdays are kind of a non-event so I'm keeping it pretty low-key this year.Of course, when I was a kid growing up in the States meant having the day off on my birthday which was an extra special treat. Nowadays, it means keeping busy with all the Black Friday deals. 😅I've included a recap of all the amazing finds I've collected...

Nature unable to make up its mind. Hi Reader, Well I went back to my old newsletter format after one attempt at trying something new. I will definitely revisit this at a later date but all this Q4/Black Friday stuff has already got me feeling a bit left behind. Sure, I'll admit, I dislike change but I'm all about forward growth and streamlining/updating to keep making things better.But does tinkering = better? Do I really need to switch up my newsletter on top of everything else that's going...

A snowy duck fresh from our first snowfall last week. Hey Reader,I'm playing around with some new templates for my newsletter. Trimmed down. More streamlined. Less chatter. Just handpicked deals that I think you'll love.Bwahaha. Who am I kidding? If you've been with me for some time, you know I tend to go on when it comes to deals I am excited about. I'm acutely aware that time is at a premium when it comes to that constantly overflowing inbox, so I swear I'm really trying to be less verbose....

Hi Reader,If you've been wondering where I've been all this time, last month I went for my regular walk with my seniors. Mind you, they all walk a lot faster than me and are usually waiting for me to catch up as I tend to straggle since I take so many photos.We were almost back to the parking lot when I took a hard fall on a steep hill and got my legs knocked out from under me. I went airborne and hit the ground in what probably looked like a cartoon fall and then slid down the mountain a...

Ever!It all started with the creation of the Modern Blooms Collection, which was created for...
