Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love entertaining (and I love being entertained) during the summer months. Not only are the best foods in season, but you can get outside in the fresh air. Perfection! Of course, entertaining is always kind of a pain, amirite? I mean, who has the time, money or skills to pull together a Martha Stewart-esque festivity? Not me! Plus, when going to a BBQ or party, there are hostess gifts, presents...

Scarves and I have been best buds for a little while now and I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOkay, so don't tell anyone here at CA, but I'm totally planning on taking a 'mental health sick day' on a Friday as soon as the weather gets warmer. Me + sangria + backyard deck + sunshine - work = perfection.
I mean, what? Me, skipping work? Never! I'm totally joking Ali (cue nervous laughter)!
In case you were so inclined to do something awful like skip...

My floor is often littered with laundry and my workspace in the office isn't much better. I'm somewhat of (ok, totally) a pack-rat and we receive a lot of products.
