Slow Decorating: The Christmas Tree

We began decorating for Christmas early last week . . . and then we fiddled around with it for days!A little here.Thinking.A little there.Looking at old photos on my blog.More thinking.Perusing old magazine clippings I've collected over the years.Tweaking.That's how we roll, Bekah and I.(Does anyone else decorate s-l-o-w-l-y?)But (other than the mess), we enjoyed the process! We played Christmas music (including lots of throwbacks to the 80's and 90's). We burned Woodwick candles for their evergreen aroma and for their cozy crackling sound.

And Lululemon’s team up with Roksanda is undoubtedly one of those collections.

That totality, she says, “allowed us to build two stunning capsules where every female is given the choice of how she wants to layer the pieces.” And although it looks like...

Weekend Vibes, Edition No. 143: Laundry Detergent + Kacey Musgraves.

My Latest Snag: The Best Laundry Detergent. Magpies: what is your favorite laundry detergent?
