I love unicorns! There is something so fabulous about them that draws everyone to them! I just can’t get enough of these mystical creatures.


I’m always in need of jars to hold everything from pens to straws and silverware for parties! Then it hit me one day. Why not make unicorn jars? The most fabulous way to store anything if you ask me!

2.Take your white piece of paper and cut out two unicorn ears.

4. With your leftover pink sparkle paper, cut out two small circles for cheeks.

5. Take your white ears and glue the pink sparkle portion of the ears onto the white section.

6. Next, it’s time to glue the unicorn horn and the ears onto the jar. Glue them inside the ring of the jar.

7. After your horn and ears have dried, it’s time to glue on those paper flowers. I suggest laying your flowers out ahead of time to space them out perfectly!

8. Once your flowers have dried, it’s time to draw on those eyes and eyelashes. I suggest practicing on a piece of paper to perfect your technique since sharpies are permanent. You only get one shot!

10. Let your jar sit and let that glue dry.

11. And there you have it folks! Your very own Unicorn Jar!

The first neat fact about this American-made mattress is that it ships compressed in a box right to your door! That’s right! No need to hire delivery folks to carry anything inside for you since everything you need is stuffed in this handy dandy box!

My daughter has a twin bed and I was able to easily lift the mattress out of the box and set it up myself!!! I may be rocking sneakers, but there is nothing #FitLife about me. So if I can take this out of the box with ease, so can you!

Set up is as easy peasy as it looks! You literally just take the Leesa mattress out of the box. Lay it on to your bed foundation. (My daughters bed is a foundation-less bed, meaning you cannot use a box spring or a foundation for this particular bed frame, so please keep this in mind when viewing my set up photos!)

Once you have your Leesa Mattress positioned in the right spot, remove all of the plastic wrap. Once the plastic wrap is removed, you will gradually see the mattress fluff out and rise to the width of any other mattress! And just like that, your mattress set-up is complete and ready for those sheets and blankets!

This bed in a box has a patented Universal Adaptive FeelTM designed for ALL types of sleepers! It also features 3 premium foam layers:

2-inch AvenaTM foam top layer for cooling and breathability

2-inch memory foam middle layer for body contouring and pressure relief

6-inch dense core support foam for durability and structure for sleepers of all sizes

Now tell me that doesn’t sound like a bed that will keep you snoozing away all night long!

If making sure you and your family get the best night sleep isn’t enough, Leesa also gives back! Driven by the mission to provide “A Better Place To Sleep for Everybody”, Leesa donates one mattress to a shelter for every ten they sell through their One-ten program. Leesa has donated over 22,000 mattresses so far!!!!

And that’s not all!
​
Leesa also plants one tree for every mattress sold AND donates 1% of each employee’s time to volunteer for local causes. Nothing better than a company that truly cares about not only their customers, but EVERYONE world-wide!

Leesa didn’t stop at just matresses! You can also scoop up The Leesa Hybrid Pillow, Blanket, Sheets,
Foundation, and Frame all on their online shop with free shipping!

​The new Leesa Hybrid Pillows adjusts to the way YOU sleep. A pillow insert sits between the quilted pocket and cool layers can be removed with a simple zip to change your support level to fit how you sleep!!

If everything I mentioned above sounds beyond dreamy, you’re in luck! Leesa Matresses are available online for all of you online shoppers like myself, or at the Leesa Dream Gallery in SoHo NYC and Virginia Beach. You can also try before you buy at over 80 West Elm stores nationwide.

Still undecided?

Try the Leesa Mattress in your own home for 100 nights risk-free AND with free shipping! Don’t like it? Simply return the mattress. That’s how confident Leesa is that you will fall in love with your new mattress. Once you enjoy your firsts nights sleep, you will question how you ever lived without a Leesa Mattress!

Ahhhh Western New York! The home of freezing cold, lake effect snowy winters! Originally from the south,I literally freeze to death year round!!! I left Florida 6-7 years ago and I’m still not used to the cold weather here in NY. And to make things worse, I live in an older home with some areas that are a tab bit colder regardless of the season.

My kitchen has THREE doors that lead outdoors & in the winter it’s especially frustrating because I end up walking around my house in layers because I will be shivering in my kitchen & then sweating in my living room! I have no clue which door or maybe even window causes this cold issue!

Unfortunatly getting an energy audit through a contractor to figure out this cold spot issue is just not in our budget this year. I was convinced I would just have to deal with guessing where these cold spots were originating from, but then I stumbled upon a very simple way to find out if your house is energy-efficient: BlindSpotz.

What are BlindSpotz?

BlindSpotz are easy-to-use, removable home sensors to detect, diagnose and fix cold spots.You simply stick them on your wall next to any spot you feel the cold maybe seeping in from such as windows & doors and after 48 hours you’ll be able to tell the temperature in that specific area. Finding out the temperature will allow you to see if that specific area of the house needs to be more insulated, or if anything else can be done to prevent heat from escaping.

Here’s how BlindSpotz work

Each package of BlindSpotz comes with 8 sensors. On a colder day when the temperatures are below 32 degrees outside, you just simply peel the sensor and stick them in certain areas of the house that feel colder to you than others. For example, near windows and door frames, the basement entrance, near closets, cabinets, the attic and the garage. Once you stick the sensor in the cold spot, use your finger to rub the surface of the sticker until it is gray. This will activate the sensor. Once it’s gray, leave it in place for 48 hours.

Once 48 hours has passed, check the sensors to see what the temperature in that cold spot reads. Take a photo of any sensors measuring 50 or 55 degrees and email those photos to fixthecold@blindspotz.com. You will then receive various solutions to help keep that area warmer, as well as coupons that can be used at participating retailers and/or contractors.

There is no denying it, we feel special when someone sends us flowers! Regardless if those flowers came from that special someone in our lives, a relative or bestie, we still welcome that bouquet with a giant smile. Nothing makes us feel more important to that someone than a dozen roses that’s for sure!

Flowers might bring us temporary joy & all of our social media acquaintances might have envy due to our latest flower humble brag online. But unfortunately, just like all the other great things in life, there is a downside. Sending flowers not only costs a small fortune, but that beautiful bouquet quickly dies and the process involved in sending them leaves quite the environmental footprint.

Bummer!!!

The great news is, we have options!!! Yes, environmentally friendly options thanks to the Flowerling app!

I’m sure now that you heard all about the awesomeness that is The Flowering App, you can’t wait to get started!!!
​

Just go to your App Store and download The Flowering App!

Just like a real flower, you can also watch your digital flowers bloom! The lifespan of a digital flower sent with Flowerling is 8 days. If you want your flower to last a little longer, just like in real life, you can purchase plant food to add a few days to it’s lifespan.​

Dollar General

Thankfully for me, I literally live steps away from a Dollar General! So I usually just walk right over when I start to see my Dunkin' Donuts coffee start to get low. We don’t want a caffeine emergency now do we? So I make sure to stay nice and stocked, especially during the holiday season!

​Once inside your local Dollar General, just head to the food & drink section of your local store and bam! You will see your beloved Dunkin' Donuts coffee sitting there all nice & pretty waiting for you to toss a bag or two into your basket!

Why Dunkin' Donuts?

That’s simple! Dunkin’ Donuts is dedicated to providing a consistently smooth and delicious cup of high-quality coffee!!! Exactly what one needs when they start to glance at that over booked holiday calendar. Makes life a tad bit easier to take in with a cup of high quality joe in you hand!

Decor Ideas? I keep it over the top simple! Things that look fabulous, but easy to assemble. I love paper cutouts that I can tape up in a few minutes and take down and tuck away in a drawer just as fast when I’m finished. Letter stickers also work wonders!

All those super light weight and foam ornaments you see everywhere? They work just as well as wall decor with a piece of duck tape on the back as they do on your festive tree!!!

Don't forget those holiday mugs!!!! Coffee Bars are the perfect excuse for you to display your holiday mug collection or even a fabulous excuse to buy more!

What Bar is complete without paper straws?!?! I Love using paper straws as coffee stirring sticks since they are always so festive and pretty!!! They always add glam to my Coffee Bar setups!

Make sure to provide your Coffee Bar guest with plates, napkins, and all of those coffee add-ons like creamer, milk, sugar etc...

Who doesn’t love a photo booth!?!?! A good way for the whole internet to see all of your Coffee Bar hard work is by setting a few photo props on your bar! Let your guest pose in front of the Coffee Bar being all sorts of cute and silly and posting that silliness all over the web!!!!
