Christmas Presents from Marshalls

When it comes to buying Christmas presents, there's quite a bit of thought that goes into it, especially for those people that are super picky and hard to buy for. We all have those people in our lives, and that person for me is my dad. I usually end up getting him a shirt or something, but I wanted to give him something a little more special and "surprising" this year. I headed over to Marshalls to do some Christmas shopping and while browsing through the men's clothing, accessory, & "gift" section, I found tons of super cool gifts that my friends would like[...]

DIY Moisturizing Avocado Face Mask

This entire summer has been so busy and somewhat stressful for me, despite the fact that I have graduated and am no longer in school. I love being busy and having plans, whether it's with friends or going to events. This past weekend at church, I was reminded that it's essential to take some time to relax.

A LITTLE MAKEOVER

I love when you find old pieces of furniture that almost look like there's no hope for them, and then give them a simple makeover, giving them a whole new look.We've had a table and chairs at Taim Boutique that we've been wanting to paint for a while, and we finally did it this past weekend. Both the table and chairs had old wood that was very faded and they just looked blah. Our "color" at Taim is a light teal color, so we decided to paint over the dirty looking wood with that color to give it a special "Taim" touch.This is what the chairs looked like[...]
