Sometimes, after a long work week, we need a pick me up. A little something that gives us inspiration, hope and cheers us up. Which is why last month, we posted one of our favourite quotes from Mae West, check that out over here. This week, we wanted to post another #QOTD (quote of the day) to help lift your spirits and make you think a little.

I've officially sealed off my doors to the outside world and sequestered myself inside for the season. I only go outside when necessary (in order to keep my job, buy a new foundation and make sure my fridge and liquor cabinet are stocked). Because I'm a total homebody, I've been watching a whole lot of Netflix and you know what? No regrets.

Add some glamour to an otherwise boring door or chest of drawers by switching up...
Like many people, I wasn't very sun smart in my younger years. Back then, having strongly defined tan lines was a proud testimonial to hours logged basting ourselves in baby oil and lying on the pool lounger all summer long. Maybe even a good base burn to start the sunbathing season? Dumb, dumb, dumb.
