I started my seeds back in February. The timing will depend on your region. Because I live in South Carolina, my spring comes a lot earlier than most. I also planted my tubers and bulbs. I usually get bulbs at local garden centers or online, but I decided to try out the Costco bags, which ended up AMAZING. Every single tuber and bulb bloomed incredibly. I cannot wait to invest in more of these for next year.
I never took the strawberries out of the beds last year, and they have been producing strawberries for the past few months.
I put my seeds in my front guest room, where the sun is hot, and they grew so well. I always joke that I could make that a greenhouse because plants do so well there in the winter. After a few months, my seedlings were ready to be transferred.
I walk outside with my coffee every morning to take out some overnight weed popups, flick off some critters, and check out the new growth. What can change overnight with plants is unbelievable, especially after a rainy night.
After a few months, my garden beds produced the most gorgeous cut flowers! I have ranunculus, daisies, roses, dahlias, lemon thyme, lavender, and zinnias!
Wasn’t it August like yesterday?” – me every year when December hits. As we are now in the middle of December and the holiday season is FLYING by, it’s *finally* acceptable to put out all of your Christmas decor and indulge in *all* the holiday activities you love so much! As the holiday season tends to pass in the blink of an eye, today I am making a Christmas Bucket List to help me make the most of these last few weeks!

As our girlfriend Taylor Swift once said: WELCOME TO NEW YORK, it’s been waiting for you. New York City is truly one of a kind when it comes to cities and is just as iconic and amazing as its reputation is. Here in Philly, we are only about two hours away from NYC and I grew up always going to the city to visit my aunt and uncle in Manhattan. Those are some of my favorite memories because I always remember feeling so at home in the city and *vowing* that I would live in the city one day myself (now in Philly, dreams come true!). The hustle and bustle, crowds of people, endless restaurants, charming boutiques, and just the overall vibe of it all is something you have to experience at least once. New York is truly like no other which is why all of the locals say: New York or nowhere.

While it is often disputed if it’s real word or not, the “shacket” has quickly taken over my entire wardrobe. If you’re not familiar: shackets are basically like a classic shirt jacket mixed with your favorite oversized hoodie. They add a fun, trendy, and menswear touch to any outfit, and I just have fallen in love with them. They are the perfect piece to throw over any outfit and suit literally *everyone* so you have no choice but to try one!
