I’m over the moon with these personalized journals and notebooks from Minted. I had a very hard time picking just one to feature on here, there are over 200 amazing designs. At $16, even if you personalize it, this is an amazing gift idea for just about everyone.
I’ve been reading up on Dayton Fashion Week (DFW) lately, and I was bowled over when I found out that one of their charitable partners is Hospice of Dayton! I am so impressed that this event will be benefiting such an amazing local charity.
I would love to join in the fun [...]
At work, I use Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. multiple times a day, sometimes for hours at a time. If there’s one thing I wish I could do sometimes it’s slide letters this way and that because of the deplorable kerning you get from these applications sometimes. Here’s a game that allows you to do just [...]
Ok, so I’m a perfectionist. No matter how perfect something is, I will always find the flaw (which in and of itself I consider a flaw…but now we’re entering “play within a play” territory so I’ll move on).

I love big, bright costume jewelry as much as anyone but when you work in an office environment, sometimes wearing an oversized, clunky necklace can be a pain by the end of the day. I’ve had my eye on the jewelry designed by thealteredchain on etsy and decided on The Little Gold Nugget Necklace for [...]
Now that I own a house, I have something like 9 rooms to decorate and furnish (see the Apartment Flood of 2011 for more information). This has proven to be a daunting task to say the least. It’s particularly hard for someone like me who hates making [...]
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is [...]
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.
