Mirror Ball Succulent Design by Succulent LOVE
I’ll be the first to admit that I love buying fresh spring bouquets at my local famer’s market. They always cheer up any room in the house and I’m constantly integrating fresh flowers into my gift wraps. However, those fresh flowers never last more than a week, and the bouquets can really add up! Succulents are a beautiful eco and wallet friendly alternative. I recently came across floral designer Kelly Harris of Succulent Love at the Unique LA gift show and her succulent arrangements were so gorgeous! Her careful combination of textures and colors lend a rustic yet modern take on floral decor. Click here to get some ideas from the Succulent LOVE gallery.

Every year, getting and staying more organized ranks at the top of my new years resolutions list. Organization invites peace, productivity, and opens the door to more creativity. But, as any mother knows, staying organized is easier said than done! Between my business, creative projects, and kids running around the house, fulfilling this goal is challenging–to say the least! Despite my earnest efforts to use more organizational tools, implement new systems and make new house rules, somewhere along the line the organization train always gets derailed.
I came across this really insightful article, “Changing Habits that Create Clutter” on the Peaceful Lives website (check it out!), and I had to share it. It made me question that maybe the solution isn’t how I combat clutter, but rather the very way that I think about things and go about my daily activities. We all have these habits that create clutter, and breaking them is the first step to a peaceful home and a peaceful mind. This article has already done so much for me, I encourage you to read it!
