During the fall, weekends seem to be for football and tailgating. But if your team isn’t playing, then why not use the time to do a couple of DIY projects around your house or apartment.

You can also try to make a pouf, like these at Decorating Your Small Space. I also like that you can use inexpensive items from a Dollar […]
The Lovely Vanessa Redgrave

Celebrating Girl Bosses on Boss's Day

Never before had I celebrated it, but all the talk of pancakes amonst us ladies in the office earlier this week, coupled with the office holiday of Boss’s Day… well, it just seemed fitting to celebrate Boss’s Day with a pancake breakfast.
