Sleep has always been a bit of a struggle for me, with allergies and asthma, back issues, and overactive thoughts. I’ve developed some good habits in the past couple of years that have helped with my overactive and anxious thoughts at bedtime. This has really improved my ability to fall asleep quickly at night. But up until a few months ago, I still woke up every morning with an aching and stiff back and annoying allergy symptoms. This is why I approached Endy about trying one of their ...
The Teen’s Guide To Decorating And Creating A Bedroom Sanctuary
The second the idea for this blog post popped into my head, I HAD to start writing it immediately. This topic is near and dear to my heart as my love of decor started early. I don't know exactly when, but I do know that by the time I was twelve, I was wallpapering my bedroom and rearranging furniture on a weekly (honestly, this is true) basis. Throughout my teens, I dreamt of updating our entire home, but it wasn't until my late teens and university years that I dove into decorating more than ...
DIY Boho Macrame Feather Wall Hanging
The current macrame trend holds a special place in my heart. It's one of those trends that I'm old enough to remember from the first time it was popular. It was 1979, and as a very young child, I accompanied my mom and aunt to an outdoor craft market where my aunt sold her beautiful macrame creations.

How to Care for Air Plants
I have made a real effort in the past year to incorporate more plants into our home. So, when I came across a selection of sweet little air plants at my local hardware store, I couldn’t resist.

I hadn’t done any research on what my plant required and as a result I didn’t give it the care that it needed. However, ...
How to decorate a fireplace wall without built-ins
Have you wondered how to decorate a fireplace wall without the expense and effort of built-in shelving? When we first moved into our home, I envisioned beautiful built-in shelves on either side of our fireplace. With a baby and a toddler, working part-time, and not wanting to spend thousands of dollars to have built-ins installed, I ended up waiting on the idea. However, when I finally had a sliver of time to address this space, I decided against built-ins because our fireplace is flush against ...
