This weekend, we decided to tackle one of our biggest home make-over projects of the season by adding a modern style to our guest bedroom walls. We've been wanting to try something a little more funky and fun, but my husband and I are amateurs when it comes to painting. We did our research as far as the process goes, and I think it turned out pretty great, if I do say so myself! One of the things that helped us the most was using the right painting supplies, so I've put together a quick 'How-to' below and included the Wooster painting supplies that made this project a million times easier. Check it out below!
Do we love doing the laundry? No. It's time-consuming and does no favors to our utility bills. In our home, it seems like laundry is a never-ending chore. With as many loads as we do each week, an ENERGY STAR ® certified washer and dryer is a must. It keeps our bills low and we like knowing that we're minimizing the impact on the environment as well! We just purchased a new washer and dryer from Best Buy this month and can't say enough about how easy they made it. The delivery men were extra careful taking them up our new stairs and had each installed in a snap. If you're in the market for a new set, Best Buy's ENERGY STAR ® certified selection is vast. They are committed to helping families through their commitment to positively impacting our environment, with a huge assortment of sustainable products and appliances. This includes their large selection of energy-efficient products, including ENERGY STAR ® certified electronics and appliances.
Spring is finally here! Time to get the kids out in the fresh air to make some memories together. One of our favorite outdoor activities is sidewalk chalk, and RoseArt has taken it to a new level with their assortment of outdoor chalk paint sets. They're easy to use and allow kids to get their creative juices flowing! These sets are our go-to choice for birthday parties and playdates because they are a crowd-pleaser no matter the age or gender. Like all RoseArt products, they are easy to clean up with water and are certified non-toxic.Check them out below!
Ironing is one of my all-time dreaded chores. So much so that I find myself avoiding certain material because I don't want to deal with the wrinkles. It takes forever to iron and more often than not, my clothes aren't even wrinkle-free when I finish...until now! On a recent work trip, my coworker mentioned that she steams all of her clothes as soon as she gets to the hotel. Since she always looks fabulous, I was immediately intrigued and gave it a try for myself with the hotel steamer. It worked like a dream and I can't believe I haven't been doing this all along. The JOY 900 Watt Supreme Steam My Little Steamer is now a staple in our home and it even makes our laundry chores a little more fun! Check it out below!
Whether you're a tech student or a Google aficionado, the new Google Pixelbook is the perfect portable computer! It's the world's first laptop with Google Assistant built in PLUS it seamlessly integrates with Android, Chrome, and the Play Store. We love the sleek, stylish design. Made of lightweight aluminum with a rotating screen, it perfectly captures the 4-in-1 balance: laptop, tablet, tent, and entertainment modes.
My husband and I have a relatively new-found love of gardening. We started small last year with indoor house plants and felt that if we could keep them alive, we would be ready to move on to bigger and better things. When spring arrived, it was the perfect opportunity for us to try our hand at a basic vegetable garden and flower beds. So far, we're doing an awesome job, if I do say so myself! Since starting our new hobby, I've found a few must-haves to get down in the soil. One of which is a pair of true gardening boots. I used to slip on a pair of loafers or tennis shoes, which always left me battling chunks of dirt and mud in and on my shoes and irritated skin around my ankles and lower legs from lack of protection.
This season, my husband and I have made it our goal to update our outdoor living space and try our hand at some basic herb and vegetable gardening. Years ago, we began using flower boxes to make the most of our limited outdoor space in our D.C. apartment. Now that we live in Florida and have a large yard, we still find that flower boxes are one of the best ways to grow plants and add style to our lawn and patio area. For those of you trying to decide which style of gardening is right for you, we've provided some of the biggest benefits that flower boxes and raised beds offer below. We've also included one of our favorite flower box recommendations, the IKEA Askholmen Flower Box, for its style, functionality and affordability.
For those of you who follow us regularly, you know that we are big fans of the Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Skincare line. Recently, we had the opportunity to try a few items from the makeup collection as well and were just as pleased with the quality. Whether you're looking for a complete daytime and nighttime look, the Prime Time Day to Night Nudes Palette, Cheek Chic Color and Contour Powder Blush and Lip Beautifully Moisture Rich Lipstick will cover any occasion! We love that they are formulated to keep skin healthier and as with all Christie Brinkley products, they are cruelty-free!

Every girl has that 'can't live without it' item in their beauty routine. Living in a humid climate, mine is hands-down my flat iron. I rely on it daily for both frizz control and styling versatility. I'm very picky about my styling tools and in the past I've shelled out a lot of money for a high-end straightener. Recently, I found a fabulous option that has all the high-end perks without breaking the bank! I've been using the Revlon Smooth Brilliance Flat Iron for about a week now and can't say enough good things about it.
