DIY Rose Bath Bomb Bars + Printable Label

I find it very satisfying to make my own bath products, not only for the customization aspect, but for how it’s typically easy to make a bunch of them at once and they’re always a beautiful handmade gift option.  This time we’re making bath bomb bars in a classic rose scent, and I’ve partnered with Canon to share free printable labels to help these sit pretty in your bathroom, or to be the finishing touch on the packaging if you plan on gifting them.  It’s never too early to think about the holidays, I know.   Read More

Two exciting things about today: 1) We’re exactly one month out from getting married and 2) we leave for our bachelor/bachelorette parties.  I was positive I wouldn’t have one until I thought of it as less about a party for me and more as an excuse to travel somewhere I’ve always wanted to go with girlfriends I love, why not??  Planned out an itinerary of the spots I’ve kept noted on for so long and will share deets if it all works out for anyone planning on visiting Austin (anyone?)

We’re in full blown wedding prep and I’ve started turning the gears for possibly a couple small DIY projects, which would be fun to show along the way but I won’t be sharing until after the wedding because suspense.  Ok not exactly, but some guests read this blog and I’d like to keep everything a surprise.  I also had my first wedding flub and accidentally sent the invitations to my old address (a mistake I’ve never made before with my mail whyyyy) so those are going to be late and it puts us behind schedule, but we’ll be fine :) Read More
