I’ve expressed my love of seltzer before on the blog, so it’s no surprise that I’m obsessed with the new Samsung refrigerator. Why? It has a freakin’ built in seltzer disposal!!! Don’t worry Mr. Soda Stream… at close to $4k for a unit, I won’t be replacing you any time soon. But a girl can dream, eh?

Every once in a while I take a mini blog vacation. The time off always results in some much needed technology R&R, and helps me refuel for my next round of DIY and home related posts. Spoiler Alert: I have some pretty exciting backyard updates to share!!! This blog vacation however is particularly exciting, as I’ll be spending some time on Cape Cod in celebration of my little brother getting married!!!! In addition to what is going to be the most stunning bride and groom, the wedding is taking place at what I anticipate to be one of the most I consider myself a real pro when it comes to Google, and so am shocked that I just recently found out about this feature???!!!

In your blog post, link to I recently read this great article (originally from the Harvard Business Review, but c’mon let’s get real, I read it on LifeHacker) titled What Happens When You Really Disconnect, by Tony Schwartz. For the full article, click here. So this daring fellow decided to completely turn off all access to technology while on vacation with his wife. He said that his brain felt overloaded and he needed time to clear it out. At first this sounded totally insane to me as I am tied to my computer and/or smartphone. But after reading about his positive experience, I have to admit, My thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted by yesterday’s horrific events. Thank you to all of my family and friends who contacted me and Tony with concern. We are safe and sound, but devastated by yesterday’s tragic events. Boston, you are an amazing and resilient city. While my heart is heavy right now, I am so proud to call you home. Small correction to today’s post… The desk is NOT the “Besta” desk but rather the Vika Veine desk found here. I updated the links and image in the original post to reflect the new desk, but not changing the title because it kinda ruins the funny puns I used. hehe. :) Thanks T for noticing!!! I’m feeling particularly full of love this Valentines day. I wish I could get cards, candy and flowers for all of the special people in my life, but turns out there are just too many people I adore So for now…Happy valentines day to my beautiful, funny and caring friends, my incredible and extended family, my amazing pup, my coworkers who keep me sane, and last but not least, the love of my life, my husband. Source Hugs and kisses to all of you today! xoxo J Since I never ran for office in middle or high school (although I swear my bargain abilities would have made me a rockin’ class treasurer!)
