Today, we use classier terminology and better quality materials. Faux leather, or “vegan leather,” is the term we use for a material that is used on items that would traditionally be crafted with leather.  If the thought of faux leather scares you, we get it. We had PVC leather miniskirts and... Read more...

5 Last-Minute Christmas Gifts
The Christmas season is quickly approaching, and we’re not sure where the time has gone.  It sure is unsettling how quickly the holidays sneak up on us each and every year, but inevitably, they do.  One minute we’re relaxing in the pool and cooking hot dogs on the grill on Labor Day; the next, we’re preparing for Black Friday and stringing up Christmas tree lights.   For many of us, Christmas and holiday shopping takes a back seat to other things; with our jobs, vacations, special events for the kids, the...

4 Gifts for Dad Who Wants Nothing
He’s the first person we call when something is wrong with the car, or the toilet won’t quit running.  Although plumbing and car repair aren’t part of his job description, we’re pretty sure there’s nothing in this world that truly lies outside of Dad’s wheelhouse.  He’s handy, helpful, and the owner of about a million and one multitools.   No matter what we’re dealing with, he always has a spare minute or twenty to listen intently and give sound advice.  And though he always shows up to barbecues with tall...

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her
If you’ve already conquered her Christmas gift, you’re someone who knows how it’s done: plan ahead, shop early, get brownie points.  As such, you may already have Valentine's Day on the horizon and be considering what you can get for the special lady in your life who means so much to you.   Let’s be honest. Valentine’s Day is basically made of cards, chocolates, and flowers.  Even though you can spend a great deal of money on these items and your girlfriend may really love them, we aren’t convinced this is...

5 College Care Packages From Home
If you’ve already lived through your college experience, you likely remember how amazing it was to receive a care package from your parents, a friend, or another relative.  While being in college is one of the best experiences you will have in your entire life, it is usually accompanied by less than desirable living conditions, lack of sleep, dirty laundry, and terrible diets (burritos at 2:00 a.m., anyone?).  Receiving a care package takes care of some of the things that tend to fall to the wayside when studying gets rough.  ...

Room Design for Teenagers: 5 Cool Ideas
The last time you painted your child’s room was when she was born.  As such, the pale pink remnants of her youth are special to you, which is likely why you've put off updating your teenager’s room for so long.  If she’s bugging you to give her a more respectable spot to hang with her friends, chances are it’s time for a room redo.   While you take down the lacey curtains and consider hipper paint colors, it’s important your teenager feels they have a voice in creating a room that...

5 Birthday Present Ideas for All Ages
Most of us don’t consider ourselves experts when it comes to giving gifts.  We usually settle up our gift debts with cash, checks, or gift cards (if we’re feeling super creative).  While these types of gifts are definitely always appreciated, we’re missing an entire marketplace of innovative and fun gift ideas by not taking just a little extra time to consider what our recipient might like.

How to Organize a Small Bedroom: Take Advantage of the Space You Have
Most spare bedrooms (bedrooms designated as rooms other than the master bedroom) are pretty small, especially in newly constructed homes.  On average, a spare bedroom is 11X12 feet.  That barely allows space enough for a full-sized bed and dresser, which means when it comes to outfitting a spare bedroom, you’ve got to get creative to make use of every bit of space you have.   In most homes, these spare bedrooms are usually used for children’s bedrooms and guest rooms.  It can be a challenge to figure out how to fit...
