I received a free Christmas tree from Treetopia.com in exchange for my review.  A few years ago, I got a beautiful white Christmas tree from Treetopia.com. The tree is slim and easily fits in the corner of my home's living room. I love it because it is pre-lit and I can put it up in minutes! My husband gifts me with heart ornaments every Christmas. So, this year, I decided to keep the tree up and decorate it with most of my heart Continue reading...

GIFT IDEA: Luxury Holiday Bedroom & 100% Blackout Curtain (Review)

By

I received the Therapedic® Carlisle 100% Blackout Rod Pocket Window Curtain Panels free in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed in this post are my own.
