The Best Buy Wedding Registry is Something for Him and Her.

Sponsored Post  One of the most exciting things after you’ve said yes to the proposal,  and finally nailed down a date for your upcoming nuptials is the registering of the gifts. Usually, the Bride is way more excited about this than the Groom as this is when their inner Martha Stewart comes out.   So you go to big box stores or a local department store and you pick out your vases, linens, kitchen gadgets, and, of course, the fine China. You know the fine China that you’ll probably be too afraid to use and probably never will use until…

Rainy Day Chicken Noodle Soup

Everybody loves a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s honestly a great meal for all ages. Pair it with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich, crackers, or as the song says “with a Soda on the Side”, and you got yourself a great meal! I remember the first time I attempted to make Chicken Noodle Soup, actually now that I look back I’m surprised my husband, then boyfriend, didn’t take off running right then.

It’s not because I’ve married the best man a girl could find, but it’s because every time I walk up in Homegoods I find pieces to match these beautiful plates that I found just last year. I’m talking this gold polka dot plates that look very similar to the Kate Spade Larabee Plates that I got for only $4.99 a piece! If you compare this to the $36 per plate price tag that the Kate Spade version commands you can see that I most definitely got a deal here. Last year I…

All Tea and no Shade with DavidsTea.

I’ve never been a huge tea drinker, unless you consider the countless sweet teas I’ve had from Chick-Fil-A in the past year, but other that I’ve never been one to get down with tea. Usually in the mall I always huff it past Teavana because while it smells great the thought of me steeping tea is seriously intimidating. It’s like I worry if someone catches me pouring tea from delicate pot into a tea cup I may lose whatever street cred I have left, and let me tell ya it isn’t much since I’ve started this whole PhD thing. Unbeknownst…
