The Similarities Between Dating and Job Interviewing
Earlier this year, I did a bit of career soul-searching. I decided it was time for me to step up the ladder and change my professional scenery.

A Pop of Colour on Outdated Chairs
I picked up these chairs at a yard sale for $5.00 each. It was probably the most exciting furniture purchase I ever made till yet, not only because it was cheap, but because I looked past the horrible mustard velvet fabric and immediately knew what style I wanted to create.

Friends Getaway at the Farm
Nothing quite warms my heart into a state of pure coziness like a crisp autumn weekend spent at a farm.
