Marrakesh Organic Cotton Sheets

Is anyone else itching to visit Morocco? Everywhere I turn on social media I see picturesque scenes of Morocco on everyone's feed but mine!

Three Ways To Increase Engagement on Social Media

How To Authentically Connect with Your Followers

As a blogger, I have the advantage of working with Public Relations (PR) firms across the U.S. As a result, I'm always asking them about the latest in the world of PR based on their clients' experience with bloggers.

Cottage-Style Home Awnings

Installing Awnings to Add Curb Appeal

This Post is in Partnership with PYC Awnings. Ever since I moved into our home, I always envisioned striped awnings above our windows, to give it that European cottage look.

All awnings are constructed with Sunbrella fabrics, which are made specifically for outdoor weather. Their…
