This + That

Book wall display in shabby chic boutique, The Fancy Flea Cottage Downtown Bartow FL
The loveliest little corner at The Fancy Flea Cottage in Downtown Bartow. I bought a vintage window there to use for a hand-lettered flower menu at the shop.

Gothamista shared a roundup of amazing skin care products for $10 or less; watch how quick I can fill up my Amazon cart.

Speaking of beauty on a budget, this new drugstore long-wear stick foundation is in regular rotation in my morning makeup routine; Mariah Leonard called it a dupe for the Hourglass Vanish stick foundation, and that was all I needed to give it a go.

Man Repeller dives into what sets you off, according to your Myers Brigg personality type.

I’m definitely guilty of reaching for my phone to fill that downtime more often, but I’m working on it.

I’d love to get into embroidery and cross-stitching as a creative evening hobby. How lovely are these floral + cactus designs?

Glass hair is the trend I didn’t know I needed in my life.

Guys, I think I may love Gwyneth Paltrow’s podcast. (I skip the Goop-y ‘wellness’ stuff and stick to the episodes featuring Gwynnie interviewing special guests.)
