Breaking Out the Candle Stash

While trying to identify and eliminate a funky odor in the kitchen this evening, I decided it would help to burn one of my selection of homemade soy candles from years past.

This was one of the first scent combinations I came up with on my own: Amaretto and Coke. I’m not sure when was the last time I lit this candle, but I’d forgotten how much I love this scent.

Feeling Cute

Last night, I slept with my hair in braids for the first time in years.

This morning, my new hairdo made me feel so retro-cute that I even did my makeup.

Shout-out to Rachel Maksy, one of my new favorite vintage sewing YouTubers, for the inspiration to try something different.

Also? The red hair and bolder lip makes me look even more like my late Memaw. Although, since I’m not a natural redhead, I don’t have to draw my eyebrows on like she did. 🙂
