|| Three Day Weekend to Celebrate & Remember ||

While this weekend is a beautiful time to sit around a fire, drinking some drinks and tossing back s'mores, let's not forget the real reason we have Monday off. Celebrate the freedom you have by giving thanks and gratitude that someone spends their days in stressful situations for our safety. Their brave dedication and love of their country affords us the opportunity to sit on our couches watching Netflix or working hard on the top floor of a skyscraper. I cherish the beauty that is not walking around worrying if this is my last day on Earth, but there are people out there with that worry, all so that we may move in peace. So I tip my hats to those ladies and gentleman and wish you all a happy weekend! Xx.

Genius way to peel a whole garlic bulb. You're welcome?

Keep flowers fresh longer.
