I tend to use the word love fairly liberally. Ok, VERY liberally.
How to Stage a Home to Sell

One of my favorite pastimes is arranging and rearranging rooms. I’ve loved this ever since I was a little girl. I remember styling my American Girl doll Kirsten’s dining table so it was just right. And subsequently getting pissed if someone moved even so much as a (fake) berry.
Safe Sunblock
I love the sun.
My favorite place to be is on a beach. Just the smell of Coppertone can transport me. Which is a little ironic, since I have fair skin that burns suuuuuper easily. I’ve been cursed blessed with an ivory epidermis ever since I was a little kid. I can remember my nanny slathering sunscreen on my little body before swim team practice on summer mornings. And then of course, there were the rebellious teenage years, where all I did was lather myself in Hawaiian Tropic body oil, hoping I could singe my sensitive skin out of existence. Poor skin! I’m so sorry for all those years I treated you so brutally.
My Happy Place
The lake is my happy place.
My parents have a lake house on Lake Michigan and it is heaven to me. We grew up going there and have many happy memories spending summers at the beach. Now, as an adult, I like to sneak away there as often as I possibly can to escape the hectic pace of life and recharge my batteries.
