How to Remove a Glass Shower Door & Update Your Bathroom

If you have a glass shower door on your tub and you don't want it there anymore for aesthetic reasons or because it might not be safe, you are not alone. My mom had two of these in her house when she moved in and she asked me to remove both of them. When I removed one I discovered that it was barely secured to the wall! It came off super easily, which is terrifying, but in doing so I realized that I could take one of these off in about a day and it's not a big deal. Let me show you how I did it.

Fall Florals on Different Budgets

I recently shared how my mom does my floral arrangements. I'm good at a lot of things, but floral arrangements are something that I struggle with. She really is a master and does an amazing job. While I try my best to find florals and extras that are inexpensive, the arrangements that she does are, admittedly, not cheap. She adds things that she already has purchased in the past, like Polish Pottery pieces, that add to the expense of these arrangements. I decided to compare and contrast these with a more frugal version with materials from the Dollar Tree and see how the Dollar Tree arrangements stack up. Let's get started!

How to Get the Closet of Your Dreams Without Breaking the Bank

When we moved into our house in 2020, I knew I wanted to redo our primary bedroom closet. It had wire shelving that I hate and wasn't utilizing the space efficiently. I started off with an IKEA design. However, our closest IKEA is two hours away. It didn't have everything we needed and it was going be $250 to ship and some of it wouldn't even be able to ship. I decided to use things we had and buy some other things to fit the space and make it on my own.

Easy Christmas Nails with Dashing Diva Gel Nail Strips

I'm fully entrenched in Christmas decorating at my house, so what better time to make my nails reflect my holiday spirit too! The three holiday themed nail strips from Dashing Diva that I currently have on hand are: Candy Graham, Light Snow and Sugar Plum Dance. I feel like Candy Graham and Light Snow are a little too Christmas-y for this early in the season so I decided to go for the more subtle Sugar Plum Dance for this nail set.
