My Apartment Outdoor Living Space

One of the best things about our apartment living is that I was able to create a custom outdoor living space. If you haven’t heard the news we recently sold our home and made the move to my hometown of Greenville South Carolina.

Quick Tips to Help Refresh Your Bedroom for Spring.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #LongLastingScent #CollectiveBias For many people, the bedroom is just a place to sleep, read a book, or maybe get away to watch a TV show in privacy. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that the Bedroom has become more than just a room I use to sleep.
