A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

I think I like the “Unpaid Intern” version the best. These are beautiful Belle!
Those are such pretty dresses! They just wouldn't look right with my body type, unfortunately. A girl can dream, though!
