I’ve Moved!

Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been a little, you know, MIA, but it’s for good reason! I’ve decided to revamp myself and my blog. Sometimes we just need to start fresh.

This is me now:

My new blog is now called The Beautiful Elements. You can still expect the usual content that I’ve been blogging about except I will touch a little more on other things such as gardening and travel.

Feel free to start here where I discuss why I’m reinventing myself:

Let me know if you’ve got any feedbacks for me. I hope to see you there! We’ve got lots to catch up on!

Travel: Charlotte, NC

Who doesn’t love a good weekend trip, right? I love it when it’s at least an hour and a half away. That’s just far enough to feel like I’m a world away.

10 Things I Loved in September

How has September been going for you? It’s been rough for a lot of us, those who lived through hurricane devastation this month. First Harvey in Houston, then Irma in the islands and Florida. I can only hope things will be alright for them.

Fall is essentially here. My favorite season. Cool weather. Crisp air. Perfect for hot drinks, like coffee and tea. Actually hot coffee paired with cookies fresh out of the oven. That smell is heaven. Earlier at work today, my co-worker made some coffee for clients in the showroom, which coincidentally coincided with one of our sales rep bringing in hot cookies. (Granted, they were from McDonald’s, but still it counts as it smelled amazing.) Why isn’t this scent a candle? I’d buy that any day over apples, pumpkin pie and vanilla. I’m adding that to the list of things I loved this month. Here’s more:
