Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! LES ALPES s Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! LES ALPES sweater is so darn soft! It fits big, though, so I recommend sizing down! I’m wearing a medium. The cream JOY sweater is adorable! Also wearing a medium here. This same style comes in gray with a bow instead of the word joy! This denim jacket is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. It’s the coolest cut! I sized up to XL because I liked the loose fit. But that’s just my preference! Here’s the link >> https://liketk.it/5xDDw OR comment LINK and I’ll dm it to you! Have a fabulous weekend!

It’s our second year with a holiday home full of It’s our second year with a holiday home full of @trutonebulbs and I just love it so much!!! Tru-Tone bulbs look vintage but are actually LED so they’re not blazing hot like the ol’ nostalgic ones. I’m a huge light snob, and Tru-Tones pass the test! Not only are their bulbs gorgeous, but their bulb accessories!!! Oh my goodness! The Star-Lites are the beautiful star things you see on our flocked tree in this video and they are a DREAM. I’m still loving the Ice Lite round bulb covers that we have had for a while, too. Tru-Tone is such a fun brand with amazing products and amazing customer service. I’m blessed to get to partner with them! Comment LIGHTS for links! #gifted #brandpartner #trutoneaffiliate
The cold snap may have drained the life out of our The cold snap may have drained the life out of our lantana, but our pine straw is still looking perfectly fresh! I LOVE when @pinestrawamerica comes over and does their thing! 🥳 Now is the perfect time to get on Pinestraw America’s books so your yard looks its best for the holidays! But before you book, be sure you find out more about their Pinestraw Club memberships. With this option, you choose how many straw refreshes per year you want, then you pay monthly, rather than in large lump sums, for your services throughout the year! Comment CLUB and I’ll send you a link to their club membership page with more info! Thanks, @pinestrawamerica, for taking great care of us year after year. So grateful for your service!
