Home Decor Hunting? Try Visiting Local Antique Decor & Upcycle Stores

Sometimes you don't have to go to far to find great things to furnish your home.  Sure you can order them online that's the easy and fun part.  The part that isn't so fun is waiting for your orders to arrive. I've been in Spruce Grove for a while but I never really ventured out to any stores for home decor items. 

I just visited the usual suspects the big chain retailer.  But this time I dared to venture out and I found some great stores right in my own back yard. Well not literally but close by. Don't forget about your local business you'll never know what you will find. 

I recently came across Raggs to Riches and it was great! I'm working on a fixing up my drab living room and revamping an old side table.  I think I've found the place to get what I need.  If you're in Parkland County, Edmonton or righ in Spruce Grove.  Check out Raggs to Riches you won't be disappointed.

Victoria Secret 2015: My Personal Faves

I didn't get to watch the Victoria Secret Fashion Show this year.  I was looking forward to RiRi performing and disappointed that Jourdan Dunn was not going to be walking this year.  On a happier note Marie Borges got to rock her natural hair during this year's show.  I'm super stoked about that.  Anyway, have a look at the pics of my personal faves.
