Merry Christmas to me, from me. I know, cardinal rule of the Christmas season… Don’t Buy Gifts for Yourself. However, it was on sale, and it’s above a gifting price range anyway! :) So I bought the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom And it was [...]

I totally had help with this one! My mom gave me a gorgeous pot full of shade plants and flowers. So no planting required - I just wheeled it out to the balcony. Then, I was given a tree chute, or whatever real gardeners call them. So, I went to Home Depot and bought a [...]

I don’t use my desktop computer. And it shall sit and collect dust no more! This goal was a lot more involved than just posting an old computer on Craigslist. First, I went through all the files: archived, organized, or deleted. Next, I bought a cheap small external hard drive to store all the files [...]

My room was featured in this week’s post on Apartment Therapy! It’s great motivation to finish the 8 week cure. Of which, I’m almost done with the “chore list” for this week. I declared yesterday Fall Cleaning (I know, it doesn’t have the same ring to it as Spring Cleaning).
Fall Cleaning:

Dust
Vacuum
Wash: sheets, duvet, mattress pad, [...]

It’s the last room in the apartment - I’m almost done! I bought the IKEA pots/plants last week, so I think that about covers the “inspiring” part. I absolutely love the color combination of the pots and painting. So other than the general cleaning and organizing, this week I just need to decide on extra [...]

Thankfully, this week wasn’t too much work. After cleaning the bathroom and organizing a couple of drawers, I just need to pick up a few bathroom organizing containers at IKEA. I’m also still looking for a small vase for the bathroom.
Still to pick up on my Apartment Therapy Shopping List:
laundry hamper liner
drawer organizing containers
something to [...]

Le Couvent des Minimes (a private label brand by L’Occitane for Bath & Body Works) has the greatest candles and room sprays. I purchased the Lavender & Acacia room spray last year, and by the time I went back to the store, I was told the line had been discontinued. It really was a bargain, [...]

I found another item on my 101 Things list that overlaps… #71 - Hang pictures up in the living room. This was also part of Apartment Therapy, but it had been on my to-do list since I moved in. So thanks to Apartment Therapy, IKEA, and Cavallini & Co calendars, I have 3 amazing framed [...]
