Christmas Decor

Christmas tree with lights, ornaments, and ribbon decorating it

All of the items I found this year to decorate for Christmas! I believe I have settled on calling my Christmas decor style “classic, cozy, and nostalgic” with red, green, and gold being the main colors I look for. We have a few different retailers here, mostly Michaels, then Big Lots (which I feel is criminally underrated), and Walmart!

Exact Products:

Christmas tree from Michaels (linked photo)
This tree has two different needle styles making it the best looking artificial tree I have seen for under $100!
Flocked pine garland with red berries from Michaels (linked photo)
Adequately full sitting along our TV stand. Can always be doubled up for an even fuller appearance
Pine cone and red berry wreath from Michaels (linked photo)
Love the pops of red with the berries!
Christmas plaid tree skirt (linked photo)
I love the classic feel plaid brings in.
Christmas Plaid ribbon (linked photo)
Ribbon is so great to fill up blank space on a tree with minimal effort!
Red, white, and green ornaments (linked photo)
These are showing currently out of stock online but for such a good price I think it’s worth the trip to your local Micheal’s to see if they have any!
Santa clause Christmas stocking (linked photo)
Santa has a little jingle bell on his hat that I love!
Snowman Christmas stocking (linked photo)
I was so happy there were two different stockings in this same style!
Christmas tree door mat that says “welcome” (linked photo)
This is such a fun shape that I haven’t seen before!
Santa Claus figurine (linked photo)
Out of stock online but my local Walmart had a TON on the shelves

How to Get to Positano

How to get to Positano cover image

You may have seen the beautiful photos of the Amalfi Coast in Italy. It is a lovely collection of seaside towns built on cliffs. With brightly colored buildings, lots of limoncello, and blue water, there is no wonder why this area is a popular destination for locals and international tourists alike. One of the most famous towns along that coast is Positano. But unlike Cinque Terre to the north, there is no train connecting these little cliff-side villages. Here is my guide to how I got to Positano plus what I would do differently next time.

Best Shoes for Flight Attendants

four pair of black dress shoes arranged in a circle on multi color carpet with writing in the middle that says "best shoes for flight attendants'

As a flight attendant, I spend a lot of time on my feet. Maybe you’ve found this post because you are coming to the profession for the first time, or maybe you have been a flight attendant for a while and looking for new kicks. Here is a non-exhaustive list of what I find to be the best shoes for flight attendants.

An important thing to note is even with the best heels, it is a good idea to have flat(er) ‘inflights’. These are the shoes you will wear once you get on board the plane. I will be sharing ‘terminal shoes’ or what I refer to simply as ‘heels’ as well as ‘inflights’.

Wedding Wednesday – My and Bailey’s Story

Emily and Bailey looking at each other in front of a sunset at white rock lake in dallas

Hi! I’m Emily, a 2022 bride doing most of the wedding work myself and on a budget. I will be bringing wedding content to you every week from now until I run out of things to talk about. I thought an appropriate place to start this series would be the abbreviated history of my and Bailey’s relationship thus far. Heavy on the ‘abbreviated’, there’s 7 years to work through.
