Mother’s Day is less than one month away, so it’s time to get busy picking up your Mother’s Day gifts. The moms in my family enjoy pampering products and anything that gives them a few minutes of “ME TIME” every day. That could be a …
Let’s face it…how your home smells says a lot about you. It’s the first thing that people notice when they walk into your home. No one wants to smell unpleasant odors no matter who’s home they’re in. Having a pleasant smelling home sets the mood for you and your guests. It’s something we should be concious of on a daily basis.

I’m someone who doesn’t like to use open-flame candles. They’re a fire hazard, so they’re used sparingly in our home. I personally like to use oil infusers that don’t consumer electricity or have an open-flame. I like them to be attractive to fit within our home decor and of course…give me the beautiful fragrance that I’m looking for.
Spongelle makes a line of oil diffusers as part of their Private Reserve Collection. If you haven’t tried one yet, you’re really missing out!!! They’re currently available in 8 different scents: Black Orchard, Blackberry, Peony Flower, Morning Bloom, Tea Blossom, Sugar Daisy, Blue Iris, and Baltic Rose.
You can purchase a complete gift set which includes: The glass vase, a floret, bottle of infuser oil, and it comes beautifully gift boxed. The gift box is so pretty it can be used for other things. I have the box filled with several pairs of my sunglasses sitting on a shelf in my closet.
How does it work? Well, I’m going to tell you.
Each floret has a cotton wick. You pour the scented oil into the glass diffuser vase. Insert the floret and let it do its thing! The floret starts off white and as it soaks up the oil it will change color. I’ve been using the Blackberry Infuser Set and in my photos you’ll see that the floret has turned a pretty lavender purple color.
One of the things I love about it besides how attractive it looks is the fragrance! It’s light, nothing over-powering and it smells exactly like fresh blackberries! It reminds me of summertime and making homemade blackberry jam in my kitchen. Smells so good! The time released fragrance will last for up to 8 weeks.
I’m going to be completely, 100% honest with you. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these Private Reserve Diffusers from Spongelle. Seriously, I love them!!! I’ve had the Blackberry one for 2 1/2 weeks and it’s still lightly scenting the room. It’s pleasant and refreshing. I love to walk by it to just take a whiff! I love it so much that I’m purchasing 3 more! Heck, I’ll probably but a few additional ones to keep on hand for gifts.
If you don’t need the entire gift set and just looking for refills…Spongelle offers that too! You can buy just the cotton wick Floret or fragrance oil and just re-use the diffuser vase. Love the refill option!

I’ve been keeping journals for over 36+ years. I first started journaling when I was pregnant with my daughter as a way to someday share with her my feelings on pregnancy, birth and raising a child. I kept journaling through her entire childhood and when she got married several years ago I presented all of them to her. She treasures those journals and started journaling too!
Now that I don’t have children at home I’m still journaling. Matter of fact, I have two different journals that I write in. One is on day-to-day life and the second one is one that I take with me when we travel. I like to document the places we go, the things we see and people that we meet along the way. It’s always fun to look back on the years that have passed.
Recently I received several journals that feature Jim Shore’s beautiful artwork. I’ve been a Jim Shore fan for several years and own a few of his figurines that I have displayed in my home. I always received compliments on them and I highly recommend them.
Jim Shore’s new journals feature his beautiful artwork and come with 100 lined pages. These hardcover diaries feature a placeholder ribbon (bookmark), band closure and feature inspiring quotes. Example: America is another name for opportunity. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.
These are quality-made hardcover journals. They have some “weight” to them. They’re the type of journals you would love to gift and receive…or buy for yourself. They look beautiful when displayed. You don’t need to hide your journal away unless you want to. I think they look nice laying on a bedside table or on a bookshelf. They almost become part of your room’s decor. Yes, they’re that pretty!
Ready to shop? Head on over to Fox Chapel Publishing and check out all of the beautiful designs. They’re a design for everyone to enjoy. Plus, they’re super affordable at only $9.99 each! Grab a few!!!
