Making Spirits Bright
I love Stock the Bar parties. Maybe it's because my friends and I are at the stage where we already have all we need, but I love the idea of starting newlyweds (or nearly weds) off with a fully-stocked home
Gifts for guys: The “Bro”quet
I don't know about you, but I'm always stuck on what to get my boyfriend for a special day like our dating anniversary or Valentine's day. Guys have it so easy: Buy flowers, sign a card, rinse and repeat. But my
An Engagement Gift Basket
A great friend of mine got engaged recently, and I of course did what every good girlfriend does when they hear news of an upcoming wedding: Go shopping.
DIY Apothecary Bottles
I love decorating with vintage glass, don't you? Just the other day, I was browsing the aisles of my favorite home store, eyeing some gorgeously girly apothecary bottles. I loved the idea of gifting them to my favorite girlfriends as a little treat on Valentine's Day, but I did not love their price tag. Yikes!
Thankfully, my shopping trip that day also took me through the aisles of a home and hardware store, where I spotted some sparkly glass drawer pulls. They were identical to the adornment on the bottle stoppers of those apothecary bottles. I knew I could pull off apothecary bottles as a DIY project.

- One Decorative Bottle (with a Cork!)
- One Decorative Drawer Pull Knob with a Screw

Gift Wrap a Wine Bottle With a Pair of Cute Knee Socks
Wine. And socks. It sounds like the beginning of a really strange party, but I promise it will all make sense soon. We all know it's a nice gesture to get a gift for the host anytime you're invited for a
Valentine’s Day Gumball Necklaces
I'm the anti-Goldilocks when it comes to jewelery.
If I'm going to rock a necklace or earrings, they've either got to be really small and dainty or really, really big. Like, huge. I still haven't found a cocktail ring big enough.
If you love big jewelery like me (and I suspect you do), you're probably a fan of over-sized pearls. And if you're a fan of over-sized pearls (which I suspect you are), you've probably already fallen in love with these necklaces.
Only, those aren't pink pearls. They're gumballs!
I spotted these over at One Charming Party. They're perfect for Valentine's Day, and the perfect V-day gift for your daughters or girlfriends. They're creative, cheap and impossible to mess up.
So let's get started.
