As a girl who has always loved fashion, I have a confession to make- I don’t know my style…. or at least I didn’t until more recently. I’m in a new season of life. I’ve had A LOT of change over the last two years and I’ve realized some things that I used to think of utmost importance just …
Hello everyone – Happy FALL!! Abby here with another quick and easy upcycle project for you! This month’s post is brought to you by: Procrastination! Halloween is coming – literally feels like a few days away, and we’ve finally landed on our costumes. I like to wait until the last minute to make my kiddos’ costumes because they change …
I love holiday décor. I have totes in my basement organized by season and love to switch out items with the seasons to freshen up and personalize my home. I do not however like to spend a lot of money on seasonal décor. It tends to be expensive and can add up when you are only displaying things for a …
One of my favorite things about shopping secondhand is that it allows me to curate a style and wardrobe that is uniquely my own. Through trial and some terrifying errors, I’ve developed a routine of wearing a “uniform” of sorts, or a signature look of saturated colors, bold prints, and textures. There’s comfort and convenience in knowing what you like. …
You know how some people have trouble wearing/styling yellow? (I’m raising my hand) Well, orange can be tricky too, and although a couple years ago I stocked my closet full of the GOURDgeous color, I ended up getting rid of a lot of it because it just wasn’t me.

Abby here with an upcycle project, plus a fun organization idea (at least I was very proud of myself for figuring this one out)! This month’s post is brought to you by: CHAOS! We are officially in the swing of school …
As a 90s kid, I have fond memories of watching the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air every week with my family. What I looked forward to the most was Hilary Banks’s impeccable sense of style in each episode. Played by Karyn Parsons, Hilary’s style embodied 90s fashion. The shoulder pads, bold colors, hats – I loved it all. This …
Well, pumpkin flavored everything is starting to make an appearance so I’m probably already late to show you some pre-fall looks on this 80 degree day (hehe) But I did pop into the Goodwill Outlet in Akron a few weeks ago (with my toddler and everything!). I only spent about 20 minutes there, but I came out with a nice …
Hello everyone – Happy Back to School Season! Abby here with another upcycle project for you all! This month’s post is brought to you by: GARBAGE! Or garbage that won’t be garbage when we’re done with it! If you live in Akron, you know that we can’t recycle #6 plastics anymore (and haven’t been able to for a while, sad …
Hi everybody! Clayborne here, with a new mixed-media collage titled, His Orchestra. I created this body of work at home using a number of materials sourced from the Cuyahoga Falls Goodwill and the Goodwill Outlet. There are many unique ways to create personal artwork from found objects. When I am searching for items to upcycle, I search through every square …
