Musical Mondays: Tightrope

Walking away from someone you love, even knowing they don't love you back in the same way, is made even more difficult by knowing how hard it is to find anything good out there. Dating is a rough venture, and giving your heart out to someone is never an easy task. So when you do give your heart out, whether you intended to at that point or not, it's no light thing. It's a rough task, and doing it requires a lot of bravery that can take a lot to build up. So giving it out again after you've ... Read the Post

Saturday Spotlight: Alphabet of Fantastic Beings by Patric Bates

Some of you may recall me mentioning Patric Bates' art on the blog before, and for good reason. One day last year, Shawn and I made the trek out for lunch and down to Orem to go to one of our favorite sandwich places called Bailey's. Bailey's also happens to be attached to a little coffee shop which sometimes displays art or photographs from local artists. On one particular day they were showing art by Patric Bates, and Shawn and I immediately fell in love with it and added the artist on ... Read the Post

DIY: Make Your Own Bath Salts – Great For Handmade Gifts!

I love the benefits of using natural salts in your self care routine. Whether you have an epsom salt foot soak, reducing skin irritation, or adding them to your bath to reduce stiff joints, they're amazing. I am always happy when I get salts as a present and don't know anyone who wouldn't! Making your own bath salts is not only inexpensive, but it's a relatively quick and easy process to do. Last Christmas, Kristina and I got together and made a ton (like 50 or more jars worth) in many ... Read the Post
