Hello Beauties,
I just found out a great article at "my domaine" website about fall décor ideas. There a re 49 of them, but my faves are: #1, #4, #20, #23, #25, #32 and #36.
Once a minimalist, always a minimalist. I like my décor, whatever the season, very much understated.
Enjoy!

Hello Beautifuls,
Again it is September |

Again it is September!
It seems so strange that I who made no vows
Should sit here desolate this golden weather
And wistfully remember—
A sigh of deepest yearning,
A glowing look and words that knew no bounds,
A swift response, an instant glad surrender
To kisses wild and burning!
Ay me!
Again it is September!
It seems so strange that I who kept those vows
Should sit here lone, and spent, and mutely praying
That I may not remember!

Hello Lovelies,

Today has been the very first day of autumn, where I finally felt some chill in the air. This month of September has been considered one of the hottest ever registered. But it is Fall at last. If you can read French (don't have the time/energy to translate for you dears right now), you can find wonderful traditional chinese advice on how to better transition into the new season right here at this very useful Shiatsu website.
For more home decor inspiration, don't hesitate to hop on my Tumblr blog, right here: https://strangerthanfictionhome.tumblr.com/
And as always...
Enjoy!

Hello Lovelies,

This article published on the apartment therapy blog about "How to Fall in Love with the Home You Live In Right Now" has been my daily read for the last past months and it has been a life-saver. so full of helpful tips! Of course, these tips and piece of advice only work if you actually DO and act upon them. Taking baby steps, applying each tip one week at a time (or at your own pace) can do wonder for your daily life.
At least, it has worked for me, so I wanted to share.
The basic and simple (and effective!) idea here is that overwhelming states of clutter and chaos at home can be avoided by tidying/cleaning a little bit everyday, making this into a mindful habit. The power of small baby steps!
Other similar articles I found helpful when needing to declutter/organize a small space:
How To Make Your Home Look 10 Times Better in 10 Minutes Or Less (again, on the AT blog)
As well as as a bunch of great articles on this new (to me) website called "One Good Thing". This one article is a fave : "33 of Our Best Organizing Tips and FREE Printable Planners!"
Happy reading!
