Below, my mother, who contributes to Pets Jubilee, reviews her Mother’s Day present from me, Karuna Age Defying Face Masks.
My daughter (Girl About Town) bought me these wonderful face masks for Mother’s Day from Preen Apothecary. I finally had time to [...]
Dayton Coffee Shop Series
When I reached my 200th post, I asked my readers for some feedback. Among the responses, it was suggested I talk about more coffee shops in the Dayton area. I love this idea so I thought I would start this [...]
Do you remember that big shipment of nail decor I was waiting patiently for? Well it finally arrived and now my nails look like fruit salad. I had great plans to get out on my day off and explore Dayton a little bit, but unfortunately the miserably [...]
When I was in 9th grade, I started reading poetry (specifically the Romantics – Keats, Byron, Shelley, etc.) and fell head over heels for the stuff. Over the years my interest wanes and then for no reason at all I’ll pick it back up again. I’m currently on another poetry kick and was [...]

Nothing is better about being sick than turning from a normal person into a mouth-breather. People can’t help but stare trying to determine at a glance if you’re creepy or sick (or both). Luckily, thanks to Skin an Apothecary’s Lip Service, at least when people stare they won’t be seeing flaky, chapped [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.
