A Little Taste of Home

So we had a bit of bare wall space in our apartment and I had been wanting something folksy/handmade/etc. that was reminiscent of home (both Virginia and Georgia have some great folk artists) and then decided I might want to literally remind myself of home and spent some time exploring on Etsy. 

There, I found a great artist named Molly Mattin who makes prints of each state and the cities within them. I purchased Virginia and Georgia.

They look great in just simple black frames. The artist also makes them in various color combinations, but I was definitely partial to the multicolored version.

Dear Ke$ha/Souljaboy/etc fans,

This is what talent sounds like.

So I try to always avoid shopping for extraneous items when I’m out and about. If I really just need a skirt, I walk in, grab said skirt and do my best to avoid all other things. A girl needs to stick to a budget after all.

Unfortunately, I just can’t do it at Anthropologie. 

There’s something about the gorgeous books, jewelry, candles, etc. that always convinces me to make an extra purchase. 

Luckily on my last trip I succumbed to the temptation and purchased a tiny tube of handcreme from Lollia. They had several different scents (that all came in their own gorgeous tubes with different designs) and the “Wish” scent quickly became my favorite. It smelled like that amazing Banana Boat sunscreen from the 90s plus a little bit of a soft, floral, perfume-y scent. Absolutely gorgeous.

I don’t do heavy scents. I don’t want to smell like an old cat lady just yet, so this is the perfect amount of “perfume” for me.

The texture of the lotion itself is also fabulous. It isn’t too greasy but it also clearly has a bit of substance. It works wonderfully and is just satisfying for the job. I recently purchased the much larger 4oz. tube to make sure I don’t run out.

My hands just may be looking forward to winter.

You can find the assortment of Lollia handcremes and other products here. Each scent has an entire collection that inclues candles, lotions and bubble bath.

The .33oz - $7.50

The 4oz - $24.00

So I’ve neglected you a bit. I’m back. We’re back. And we’re finding more fabulous things to share with the world. Stay tuned, and as always, find something to truly enjoy about today.
