BLOOM WATER BATH TURNS ONE ON SATURDAY! (Well, the BLOOM WATER BATH TURNS ONE ON SATURDAY! (Well, their storefront’s location does anyway! But the BWB brand has been around for several years. I’ve loved them since day one!😍) They’ve recently done some major upgrading to their store’s interior, as well as some upgrading to their fragrances! And they want to celebrate! 🎉 This Saturday, October 4, they have a day full of excitement. Their first 100 customers that day will get a mini laundry care kit as a thank you! (Their laundry detergent is new and smells AWESOME.) They’ll also have some fun gifts with purchases while supplies last! AND RAFFLES! They are raffling off a gift basket, a private party for six, and a private party for 10! In addition to all the free stuff and give aways, they’ve got three workshops: 🩵 11:30 - 12:30 Kids’ Bath Bomb Workshop (which is free! You can just walk up to- no need to register) 🩵 2:00 - 3:00 How to Blend Your Own Fragrance Workshop (which you DO need to register for by shooting @bloomwaterbath a DM) and the first 15 to register for this get a complimentary body spray of their custom fragrance! 🩵 4:00 - 5:00 is another Kids’ Bath Bomb Workshop, which is also free and doesn’t need to be registered for. I’m sure I’m forgetting some fun details… There is just so much excitement going on! I hope you can make it by their Dogwood Festival location in Flowood this Saturday, October 4. Bloom Water Bath is such a happy store!! 🥳🥰🤩 I know you’ll have a great time on your visit!
Looking for something fun to do this Saturday, Oct Looking for something fun to do this Saturday, October 4? @renaissanceatcolonypark has got you covered! They’re hosting a European Car and Motorcycle show (that we actually happened upon last year and enjoyed immensely) which also includes European beer and Plein Air painting by some awesome local artists! And you won’t believe the cars… they’ll have rides from ALL OVER. I’m not a “car person” but I loved this show last year! THEN, at 5 pm, @caramississippi is hosting a wine tasting with light food pairings! CARA is such a sweet animal shelter located in Jackson, and purchasing a ticket to this event is a wonderful way to support their lovely cause! Visit https://carams.org/wine-tasting to grab a spot! Of course, between admiring the cars snd sipping on wine samples, there are dozens of shops and restaurants to enjoy! I hope you’re gearing for a great weekend spent at @renaissanceatcolonypark! 🥰
I could not be any more pleased with the BEAUTIFUL I could not be any more pleased with the BEAUTIFUL pumpkin porch created for me by @gourdgeousdesignsms! And working with them was a dream! I sent them a picture of our space, told them what colors of pumpkins are preferred, took their suggestion on which of their packages best suited my space, and let them handle the rest! They incorporated the plants I already had, and truly just turned our porch into an autumnal dream! They are pretty tightly booked the next couple of weeks, but they do have a *few* openings this weekend and next weekend! If you are interested in hiring them, please shoot them a DM and they can tell you what they have available! Thank you again, @gourdgeousdesignsms team, for partnering with me! I just LOVE IT!! #brandpartner

I got the joy of reading two really sweet books to I got the joy of reading two really sweet books to Dempsey’s class today as part of his 6th Ear Birthday celebration! Demps specifically asked that I bring books about ears 🥰 I love these two books: 1. Can Bears Ski? is about a kiddo with progressive hearing loss who ends up with hearing aids! This book has some sweet tips on how we can all communicate more clearly with each other, and especially with those who are hard of hearing! 2. BOY is one of my favorite children’s books ever. It’s about a boy with complete, profound hearing loss. He does not speak- h ed only signs. His inability to hear the discord around him ends up being the thing that brings everyone together in the end! It’s a PRECIOUS book!! Comment BOOKS and I’ll send you links! It’s also linked on thehiveblog.com/shop-my-instagram 🫶
Fall meal of choice. 🧡🍇🍁 Heck, this is my Fall meal of choice. 🧡🍇🍁 Heck, this is my meal of choice in any season! But these colors scream fall which made them taste extra good! 😋 Also, @shopsummerhouse has awesome charcuterie boards and other little pretties to make your next board next level!
