Thanks to Premier Prints for sponsoring this review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. You may have read that almost two years ago I got a full-time writing job with a company that I love! Since I am a remote worker, I really enjoy outfitting my home office to make it as efficient and as pleasant to work in as possible.

(Check out this DIY cushion tutorial for details on how to make a cushion like mine for your Continue reading...

All Natural Hemp Undies
. I try to be eco-friendly as possible. For instance, I try to wear mostly natural fabrics, and my daughters and I like to thrift, too. So I was happy to give WAMA underwear, a sustainable clothing brand, a try. WAMA offers comfortable underwear made with all-natural hemp and cotton. Hemp is a sustainable fabric because it takes less water to cultivate. WAMA's aim is to make the best hemp underwear in the world—they chose to use hemp largely because of its sustainability, but also because hemp has antibacterial qualities and gets softer every time it's washed. WAMA's hemp is Continue reading...

DIY Box Cushion & Office Love Seat
Thanks to Premier Prints for sponsoring this review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A few months ago, I got a cute little loveseat for my home office. My little pup likes to snuggle up with me during the day, and there isn't room for him in my regular office chair. So I got this cute little loveseat from Amazon for the two of us. The only problem is that the mini sofa isn't comfortable enough to sit on for 7-8 hours a day. So I got myself some 3-inch foam that I cut to size to make my own cushion. I got a super cute bird-print fabric by Premiers Prints at ShopFabric.com and Continue reading...
