I just wanted to post about Christmas this year because it was special in its own way and I want to remember it.
First, here’s a look at my decor. I love the way the tree looks and it’s such a heartbreak to put it away each year.
Also, no living [...]
Holiday Manicure
So I am happy to say that even though I was injured, I could still put glitter and rhinestones on my nails for the holidays. I don’t know if nail technicians make house calls so I’m not sure what I would have done otherwise.

I guess this isn’t the proper forum to discuss the finer points of what happened to me last week but just know that I’m happy to be back to writing.
I was involved in an accident that left me with several injuries. I’ve been resting as much as possible with the best care possible from [...]
Every November on a weekend before Thanksgiving, my grandma has all of her grandchildren come over to help decorate the tree and make Christmas cookies. It doesn’t matter that I’m 25, tradition is tradition so I went over to help, too. I decided it would be a good idea to highlight some of [...]

So in lieu of any actual content, here are some of my favorite pictures I’ve taken with my iphone from the past few weeks prepping for Christmas and working. Someone pass [...]
My family had a birthday party for me last night and the highlight of the evening had to be when I opened a present from my grandma that she bought at the dollar store – a collar and hat for Julia for Christmas! It was tricky getting her to wear something so humiliating but she [...]
I’m so sick of hearing people refer to this time of December as “last minute” concerning Christmas shopping. I grew up in a household where having all of the shopping done by December 23rd was regarded as a win. And honestly, shouldn’t the rule be if you have time for online stores to ship to [...]
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.
