Turn Clutter into Storage

ReUse Jelly Jars as Candleholders You're not going to use all those empty jars for bacon grease, but sometimes they're just too pretty to throw out. Try placing white tea lights or votive candles in at least five small jars and grouping them together on a coffee table. Repeat Beach Rocks...

Add a Little Spice

I found this picture when going through a decorating site and wanted to share it with you. I loved the sophisticated look of this Asian inspired dining room, yet how simple it is. As you can see, the furniture is very simple. A delicate tone-on-tone leaf motif on the walls, a pair of screen...

It's all in the Accessories

Wouldn't this colorful nook be a happy spot from which to launch your day? Looking closely, the space is really neutral, with white and beige furniture and walls that just whisper of yellow. This rooms' outgoing personality stems from the fresh blue, red, pink, and green accents...

Have you ever wondered why hotel beds feel so crisp and snug? Or how you wake up and the sheets and blankets are still in place? This week one of the readers of my blog sent me this tip she learned whilst studying hospitality. I was taught to make my bed this way and I have been doing it ever since....

Something old, something new, something borrowed...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue... This is a saying which dates back to the Victorian era which stated that brides should wear an item representing each of these categories to bring them good luck. When I got married, I was told to follow this tradition, but I decided...

And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere - in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

THE DIRTY TRUTH

I have come to realize that people tend to hide things in those "not so visible" places. You walk in to someone's house, everything LOOKS clean, but then you start looking behind the sofa, in the cabinets and drawers, in the closet, and what you find is the DIRTY TRUTH...

Getting More 4 Less

Isn't that what everyone wants, to get more for less? Well, guess what? You can! Today I realized how so many people do so much yet so little at the same time. Q: Why? A: Because they use the wrong tools. I mean, this principle can apply to pretty much anything in our lives, but I want to focus...

Out with the OLD - in with the NEW

This week has been one of the best in my life. I've just moved to a new part of town, so I'm working with different people, living with different wives and certainly gaining experience. I am very happy and thank God for such opportunity. I've also been paying closer attention to the influences women...

Introduction: My Life

Hi, my name is Andreia. I am 21 years old and currently living in Houston, Texas. I grew up a pastor’s daughter moving from city to city and from country to country. Though my childhood was quite different from most people, I don't regret one bit of it. So much so that I decided to follow that same...
