Printable Valentine’s Day Cards

I’m a fan of celebrating love whether it’s for a significant other, family member, friend, Valentine’s Day or not.  While this holiday itself isn’t the biggest deal for me, any excuse to do something nice and remind people how important they are is definitely worth the extra effort, and you already know my favorite way of giving and receiving those warm and fuzzies is with handwritten cards.  I’m sharing these simple printable Valentine’s Day Cards (and mini ones that can be cards or gift tags!) in partnership with Canon with you in hopes to make it just a little easier for you to show the good people in your life some love too.  Download links are at the end of the post!

10 Favorite Coffee Shops in LA

One of my favorite ways to explore cities is through coffee shops, definitely including my own home of Los Angeles.  It’s also my way of getting work done on my laptop when I’m craving a change of scenery from my desk or simply need a break, all while treating myself to a latte and inevitably some pastries.  In case you’re a local looking to treat yourself too, or plan on making a visit to LA and want to add in stops to take care of your caffeine cravings, here are 10 of my favorite coffee shops in LA in partnership with Uber to get you there conveniently.

DIY Photo Cards

When it comes to saying thanks, few things go further than writing a card.  This came to mind as I was trying to figure out what to gift my girlfriends for throwing me a most amazing bachelorette party a few months ago.  Initially I had thought of bringing back souvenirs to send them later, then I remembered that the best memento from a trip is a photo, better if it’s printed, and even better with a note.  Luckily we took this cute group photo during that bachelorette weekend, and with the help of my friends at Canon I’m sharing how to turn a photo into cards like these the next time you want to go for that extra special touch and make them yourself.

Friday Links

Haven’t done one of these in a while!  Formerly “Friday Finds” but wanted to make the series title a little more straightforward so here we are with Friday Links.  For a bit I was thinking I wasn’t going to continue this series, but have heard from some of you consistently that you enjoy it, so I’d like to know- do you still feel that way?

Wardrobe Drawer Organization

On an organizing kick lately, as you could probably tell!  The wardrobe is what I work on the most and often re-evaluate.  After all, it’s what I access and use daily, things are coming in and out of it very frequently, and thus it’s naturally where I notice the biggest life altering effects when I bring it back to order.

Once going through and paring down things that inevitably started piling up without getting used, I pinpointed a couple of drawers that could really use some better organization so that I could actually see what I have, and use them- what a concept!  As part of the Michaels Makers challenge this month, I utilized a few of their baskets for some really simple organizing that made a big difference in how I no longer dread opening these drawers.   Read More
