Swapping summer blooms for autumn hues 🍁🌾 Lo Swapping summer blooms for autumn hues 🍁🌾 Loving the fall vibes these planters bring to my front porch. 

Already in the planters are:
-Sword Ferns
-Vinca (2 in each)

Then I took out my impatiens (replanted them in the yard for the time being, they are annuals but I couldn’t get rid of them just yet) and added in fall color:

-Miz America mustard in the center in front of the fern
-heuchera aka Coral Bells on either side (1 Southern Comfort and 1 Berry Smoothie variety in each pot) in front of each vinca
-3 silverdust aka Dusty Miller in the middle

All of these plants will last through the fall & winter here (zone 7) I am told! 

I’m no pro gardener but I am loving turning into a full-on plant lady🙂 & learning a lot as I go! Follow along because I’ll continue to share my planter arrangements!

2019 Gift Guide

I wasn’t originally going to do any gift guides this year but after receiving a few DMs on Instagram about gift suggestions, I figured I’d just put together a few recommendations or ideas of gifts to give the people in your life or for you to just ask for yourself!  I always want to help y’all in any way I can so if this helps I’m happy to pull together a few gift ideas.  These are what I think are good, solid gifts and I tried to pick some in a variety of price points.

Gift Guide

For Him

  • Patagonia Retro Pile Pullover – Craig has this and HIGHLY recommends it.  Runs TTS.
  • Yeti Mug – The coffee lover will appreciate this.  Pair it with a bag of local coffee.
  • Blundstone Boots – a pricier gift but these are super cool, stylish, and likely a gift a guy wouldn’t buy for himself but that he would love.
  • Personalized Leather Bound Atlas – how cool is this?! Anyone that loves maps, hiking, or America’s National Parks will love this.
  • Lowball glasses – Old Fashioned, anyone?
  • Airpods – You can upgrade to the “Pro” version for noise cancellation and a customizable fit, but the regular Airpods would be an amazing gift!
  • Rubber wedding bands – especially if you have an active guy in your life, he will appreciate these!  Craig uses them for when he’s camping/fishing/working out basically anything active.

For Her

  • Sherpa Jacket – every gal needs a sherpa.  Cozy & on trend!
  • Slippers – I mean, everyone loves slippers am I right?!  These are soft and warm but you can also wear them outside if you need to.
  • Barefoot Dreams blanket – the softest blanket ever.  The hardest part about giving this gift is that you’ll definitely want to keep it for yourself.  Found it half price here.  Another option here.
  • Capri Blue Candle – a higher end candle and so pretty! The Volcano smells amazing.
  • Agate Cheese Board – These are sooo gorgeous
  • Monogrammed pieces – Mug, Bracelet, Necklace, & Coasters

Things I Have & Love (that would make great gifts)

  • Summer Fridays Gift Set – I have this and loveeeeeeee them all.  The gift set is a great way to get them all at a bundled price (for someone else or for you) and it’s all nontoxic, clean ingredients.  The Jet Lag mask is so amazingly hydrating and perfect for when the winter weather dries out your skin.
  • This Scarf
  • This Tote Bag
  • Wine Glasses – I love these and always get so many compliments and comments on them.  They’re a fun addition to a bar cart!
  • Overnight Resurfacing Peel – This has changed my skin…helps prevent blemishes, reduces fine lines/wrinkles/dark spots/discoloration, and gently exfoliates.  I use it every other night and great for all skin types.
  • Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody – This is my go-to “going out” bag for date night etc.  It’s so pretty!  I’ve had mine for over 3 years now and I love it.

Stocking Stuffers/Smaller Gifts

  • Barefoot Dreams socks
  • Sara Happ Lip Scrub
  • Hand Cream Trio
  • Marble Coffee Tumbler
  • Makeup Bag
  • Victoria Emerson– the wrap bracelets, state necklaces, and home items would all make really great & inexpensive gifts! They also have zodiac necklaces and watches.
  • Rose Quartz Roller

Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve no Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve noticed these make me feel more put together & productive as a stay at home working mom of 3🫶🏼 they just help put me in the right state of mind to knock out that to-do list!

1. Working out - have been trying to get back into being an AM workout girly 
2. Getting ready - dressed, a little makeup, and some jewelry. victoriaemerson is my daily go-to!
3. Writing out my to do list - so I can figure out the most efficient way to get things done!
4. Doing a quick clean/tidying up - I find the mess and clutter to be distracting so I work better when it’s clean!
5. Lighting a candle - just had a nice calming & focusing effect. Then I get to work!

What is a daily habit that helps you?!

Linking my jewelry as well, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links to your DMs! ⬇ https://liketk.it/4ORwb
