It has been forever since I have published a post and since we are all staying home right now to help flatten the curve I figured it was as good a time as any to get back into writing. This virus is having such a huge impact on the economy and part of that is those with small businesses. I wanted to help highlight some of my favorite small businesses on Etsy that I have personally purchased from.

We built a custom house and moved into our “Barndominium” in September of last year. I have searched high and low for unique pieces to include in our house and have found some of my favorite pieces from small shops on Etsy. I wanted to share some of my favorite Etsy home finds in case you are searching for some unique pieces to help complete the look of your home as well.

Entry way Sign
Entry Way Sign

The first piece I am sharing is this “The Fraziers est 2013” sign. I knew I wanted a sign similar to this to go near our front door. I stumbled upon this sign from Jaxley Design and instantly fell in love. They offer several different size options and a number of different stains to choose between. I went with the Classic Gray as it matches the color scheme of our house best. I was incredibly impressed with how quickly I received my order as it is a customized item. I was also very pleased with the quality of the piece and think it is the perfect piece for this little space.

The second piece I want to share is this large bible verse sign hung in our mudroom. I needed something fairly large to help fill this space and loved that Willow and Blush offered so many different sizes to choose from. They also have tons of paint colors to choose from as well as stain options for the wooden frame. I was able to find a shade of blue that matched our blue beaded board perfectly. Again I was incredibly impressed with how quickly I received my order. The quality is amazing and looks perfect hanging in our mudroom.

The next several pieces Im sharing are in my son’s nursery. I did most of my nursery decor shopping on Etsy so that I could find really unique pieces that fit the look I was going for. I used blues and grays in his nursery and wanted sort of a deer/hunting/wildlife type of theme. I found some really awesome pieces on Etsy that helped to create the perfect nursery.

One of those pieces included this really neat white faux deer head wall mount. I thought it made such a neat statement piece for the room while still fitting the color scheme I had for the room. White Faux Taxidermy offers the deer head as well as tons of other animal options in tons of different colors. The quality is amazing and gave the perfect masculine touch to the room.

I knew I wanted to include an airedale into the room somehow as we own an Airedale (she was our first baby). This was a little more challenging as Airedale stuff isn’t very common and finding something that wouldn’t stick out in the nursery was difficult. I stumbled upon this blue airedale print from Bitten by Ermines and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The best part about ordering prints is that you don’t have to wait on them to ship, they are inexpensive, and you can print in whatever size you need for your space.

I wanted to find a few wooden decor pieces to hang on the wall to complete a gallery wall and found these arrows by Michael Miles Creation and these multicolored arrows by Wall Decor Keepsakes. Both were available in a number of different color options but I obviously went with the colors that best fit the nursery color theme. Both items arrived quickly and were of great quality. They helped to add a little extra detail to the gallery wall.

I found this really fun framed Browning Shotgun Print from Patent Earth and knew I had to have it. It was available in several different color options and sizes as well. This print was such a fun piece that really helped to pull the whole hunting theme together.

I searched high and low for bedding that was the right color and had a print that fit the nursery theme and had so much trouble until I searched Etsy. Etsy is such a great place to go to look for crib bedding, there are so many options. I found this Navy blue and white deer head crib sheet from Goodnight Doll and knew it was exactly what the nursery needed.

I needed one final piece to add to my gallery wall and found the sweetest sign that I felt would be perfect to include. It was this grey wood framed piece from Tiny Farmhouse Touches. It is also available in different sizes and stain colors as well.

I would love to hear what some of your favorite Etsy shops are? And what fun pieces have you purchased from Etsy for you home? Head over to Etsy now to shop all the unique handmade items and support a small business.

Amazon Athleisure Finds

I live in athleisure clothes. They are comfortable and so easy to run errands in while still looking cute. The only problem is that some brands of athleisure wear can be kinda pricey.

Amazon has become my place to find everything lately and I recently tried out some athleisure looks and was pleasantly surprised with the quality for the price.

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

I had mentioned in a previous post that I had been cutting dairy out of my diet. Finding dairy free treats that don’t taste dairy free has been my mission. Enjoy Life is one of my favorite brands for dairy free and gluten free foods. They offer a large selection of foods that are free from gluten and 14 common allergens, Non-GMO, and made from all natural ingredients. I have tried a number of their products from nut butter bars to trail mixes to their rice milk chocolate bars and I have enjoyed them all. Their rice milk chocolate products are dairy free without tasting like they are dairy free. I am currently expecting my first child, due in January and I’ve made a conscious effort to make smart choices about the foods I eat throughout my pregnancy. Enjoy Life products are ones that I can feel good about eating while pregnant.

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

I came up with this recipe when I was craving something sweet and chocolatey and decided to see what I had in my pantry that I could create a dessert with. With only a few ingredients, I made these delicious dairy free chocolate almond clusters. Below I will share how you can easily create these treats too in no time.

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

To make these dairy free chocolate almond clusters all you will need is Enjoy Life’s chocolate chips, coconut oil, roasted almonds, and sea salt. Begin by adding 1/3 cup of the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips along with 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Adding the coconut oil helps to give the melted chocolate a better texture. Place the bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds and remove and stir before placing back into the microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat that step until chocolate is completely melted. I recommend only heating the chocolate for 30 seconds at a time so that you don’t burn the chocolate.

Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the bowl from the microwave and pour in 1/3 cup of almonds. Stir the almond/chocolate mixture until the almonds are completely coated in chocolate. Then I used a tablespoon to spoon the chocolate coated almonds onto a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue spooning a tablespoon amount of the chocolate almonds onto the parchment paper evenly spaced apart until there is none left. Next we add the sea salt to each of the almond clusters. How much you want to add is completely up to you. I lightly sprinkle a small amount on each one just to give it enough for a salty/sweet taste. Finally, add the baking sheet to the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened. Once hardened, the dairy free chocolate almond clusters are ready to enjoy!

Dairy Free Chocolate Almond Clusters

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup roasted almonds
  • 1/3 cup of Enjoy Life chocolate chips (or any dairy free version of your choice)
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Add 1/3 cup of the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips along with 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl.
  2. Place the bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds and remove and stir before placing back into the microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat that step until chocolate is completely melted.
  3. Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the bowl from the microwave and pour in 1/3 cup of almonds.
  4. Stir the almond/chocolate mixture until the almonds are completely coated in chocolate.
  5. Use a tablespoon to spoon the chocolate coated almonds onto a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue spooning a tablespoon amount of the chocolate almonds onto the parchment paper evenly spaced apart until there is none left.
  6. Lightly sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on each almond cluster.
  7. Add the baking sheet to the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
  8. Once the clusters have completely hardened, they are ready to enjoy!

Healthy Bison Meatballs

Healthy Bison Meatballs

I am constantly looking for new foods I can cook for dinner so that we don’t get tired of the same things. Recently, I had someone recommend trying bison. I have never tried cooking with bison but have eaten it in restaurants and have always enjoyed it. I decided I was up for the task and bought some lean bison from my local grocery store. After debating on how to prepare the bison, I ultimately decided to go with meatballs and my husband I are were more than pleased with the results. Below I will share how I prepared these healthy bison meatballs incase you are looking for something new to add into your dinner routine.

The Southern Magnolia is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com

Healthy Bison Meatballs

I began by adding 1 lb of 90% lean ground bison to a large mixing bowl. Next I added in 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of panko bread crumbs, 1/2 tbsp dried parsley, 1/4 tbsp marjoram, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, 1/2 tbsp of oregano, pinch of salt, 1 tbsp of worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 tbsp of chopped craisins (optional) (I like these reduced sugar ones)into the mixing bowl. Personally, I find it easier to mix the ingredients by hand and continue until the ingredients are mixed well.

Healthy Bison Meatballs

I next put a small amount of olive oil into a pan and turn the burner on medium-high heat. I begin by rolling the bison mixture into golf ball sized balls and placing them into the pan. From 1 lb of bison, I can usually make 10-12 meatballs. That is usually plenty for my husband and myself with a few meatballs left over. I allow the meatballs to cook 3-5 minutes before rolling the meatballs onto their other side and allowing to cook another 3-5 minutes. I then place the meatballs into an oven preheated to 375 degrees Farenheit for another 5-7 minutes to cook the meatballs all the way through. If you made your meatballs slightly larger, you may have to cook them a little longer. Once the meatballs have been cooked completely, remove them from the oven and they are ready to enjoy!

Healthy Bison Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground bison
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp panic bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tbsp marjoram
  • 2 minced cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp of oregano

  2. Mix all the ingredients together by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Put a small amount of olive oil into a pan and turn the burner on medium-high heat.
  4. Roll the bison mixture into golf ball sized balls and place them into the pan.

Friday Favorites #2

I shared a Friday Favorites post earlier this year in which I rounded up 5 of my favorite products. I decided it was about time to do another edition of the Friday Favorites as there are so many products I am currently loving and wanted to share with all of you. This Friday Favorites Post will be focused on 5 beauty products that I am currently loving. I have tried out a number of different products lately and have really fallen in love with several of them.

The Southern Magnolia is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program design ed to provide a means for site to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

Friday Favorites 2

The first product I want to discuss with you today is the Tula Purifying Face Cleanser. I had previously been using Dermalogica’s Dermal Clay Cleanser but since I have been pregnant my skin has been drier and I have been looking for a less harsh facial cleanser. I do highly recommend Dermalogica’s Clay Cleanser if you tend to have oilier skin. If you haven’t heard about the Tula line, it is a probiotic based line that is toxic free and 100% free from phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, petrolatum, gluten, and mineral oil, as well as being cruelty free. I became interested in their line as I began researching the importance of probiotics on gut health. I found the idea of using probiotics in skincare so fascinating and decided to give them a try. I have been using the Tula face cleanser for about 6 weeks and the texture and clarity of my skin has totally changed. I have also been using their proglycolic resurfacing gel after I wash my face and could not recommend it more. I have been using it in place of the toner I was previously using. I plan to try one of their moisturizers next.

Friday Favorites 2

The second product I want to share is Cover Fx Mattifying Primer. I had never tried wearing a primer before but after trying one I could not go without. It smooths out the texture of your skin and helps to minimize the appearance of pores. My makeup goes on so much smoother when wearing a primer. One thing I love about this particular primer is that is also has an acne fighting ingredient in it. It takes a very tiny amount to cover your face so the bottle has lasted me forever. If you haven’t tried using a primer in your makeup routine, I highly recommend you give this one a try. I just recently bought Cover FX’s Perfect Setting Powder and will let you know how I like it after trying it for a while.

Power Play Concealer

Friday Favorites 2

The next item I’m currently loving is Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Hair Oil. I have always heard good things about Bumble and Bumble products but the higher price point has kept me from giving them a try. I decided to take the plunge as I am looking to try to take better care of my hair and wanted a heat protectant I could use. I grabbed the hairdresser’s invisible oil as I had heard several blogger’s I follow talking about it recently. Since I have been using this primer, I feel like I have noticed significantly less breakage and damage from heat/styling tools. I also scored Bumble and Bumble’s thickening spray. I bought this to achieve more volume when drying and styling my hair. I love that is doesn’t leave a sticky residue like other thickening sprays I have tried while also adding volume.

Friday Favorites 2 Friday Favorites 2

The fourth product I have become obsessed with is a MAC lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy. I have always had the hardest time picking out lipstick colors. It is embarrassing how many lipsticks and glosses I have bought only to get home and try them out and find out the color was all wrong. The Velvet Teddy shade is the perfect color to wear year round and the consistency of MAC’s lipsticks is probably one of my favorites.

Friday Favorites 2

The last item I wanted to share is the NARs blush in the color Orgasm. I was previously using a Becca blush but felt it was a little too pink on my skin. I wanted something that was a little more subtle. The NARS Oragasm blush is the perfect color for every skin tone. It seriously looks good on everyone. It adds just the right amount of color without being too much. I don’t see myself tiring of this shade anytime soon.

Hallmark is Coming to Dollar Tree

Hallmark is Coming to Dollar Tree

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

I am so excited to announce that starting today, August 30th, all 6,500 Dollar Tree stores nationwide will be carrying both Expressions from Hallmark and Heartline a Hallmark Company greeting cards. The best part about it is that all of the cards will be one dollar or less. The Expressions from Hallmark greeting cards are $1 and the Heartline a Hallmark Company greeting cards are 2 for $1. They will be offering hundreds of greeting cards for a variety of different occasions so that you can stock up with out spending a fortune. I love the variety of cards they offer as well as the quality of the cards. While the cards may be cheaper than those you would buy in the drug store or grocery store it does not show in the quality.

Hallmark is Coming to Dollar Tree

I don’t know about you but I love to give and receive cards whether it be a birthday card, thank you card, or simply an I’m thinking of you card. It seems that with all of the advances in technology a handwritten note is often overlooked and replaced with an email or a simple text. To me, there is so much more thought and meaning in receiving a card that was handpicked for you with a thoughtful handwritten message inside. No text or email can ever replace a handwritten card.

This time of year is an especially busy time for birthdays in my family. I made sure to stock up on birthday cards from Dollar Tree so that I am not desperately searching for the perfect one at the last minute. This makes it so much easier when those birthdays do creep up, I have a stash that I can grab from. The best part is that I didn’t spend a small fortune in stocking up on these cards either.

Scoring Great Deals With Gazelle

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. 

I have talked about Gazelle before in this post here but I wanted to do a more in-depth post regarding all they have to offer because they are offering some great promotions currently. In my previous post I touched on how you could make money with Gazelle by selling your used smartphones and other devices. However, you can also buy used and refurbished devices for a great discount. How many of us have lost or destroyed our phone and have not wanted to pay full price for another? Well this is the perfect solution to that problem. You can replace that device with a like new phone for a much lower price tag. They have way more than just phones. They have tablets, laptops, and desktops as well.

Score Great Deals With Gazelle

I have personal experience with selling a couple of my preowned iPhones to Gazelle and have been extremely pleased each time. I found that they offer a very fair price for used devices and the process is swift and your receive your payment quickly. They also m are the process of selling them a device super simple. Their website is incredibly user friendly and walks you through the process with ease. You pick which device your selling and talk about the condition it is in. They will quote you a price for the device pending inspection upon their receiving the item. As long as the item matches the description you provided, you receive the amount quoted. If not they quote you a different price and you can accept that price or not. Gazelle will actually send you a shipping label to use and you can even request a box be mailed to you if you don’t have one to use. all you have to do it pack up the item and drop it off at a shipping facility. It’s so easy and a quick way to make some cash on an item that would probably sit unused in a drawer in your house.

Saving money on devices is just as equally satisfying as selling your old used items. They offer a number of different iPhone models (ex. iPhone 5- iPhone X) and Samsung Galaxy models as well. You can also search different iPad and MacBook models. If you are looking for a product within a certain price range you can filter for that as well. They make the buying process just as easy as the selling process. Since these items are preowned, once you have selected the model you want they will show you what they have available and let you know what condition it is in. I currently own an iPhone 7 and have had it a couple of years already and I am looking to upgrade to the iphone8 or X and will definitely be shopping through Gazelle as their prices are more reasonable for a like new device.

Have any of you ever used Gazelle to buy or sell old devices? I would love to hear your experience as well.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Muffins

Dairy Free, Grain Free Sweet Potato Muffins

For years I ate the same thing for breakfast without fail. My breakfast of choice was oatmeal. It typically kept me pretty full and fueled me for my day. I tried to stay clear of a heavy sugar breakfast so that I wouldn’t suffer an energy crash a few hours later. If I would start to tire or my oatmeal I would switch up how I fixed it, whether that was adding almond butter, sugar-free maple syrup, or agave. When I decided to try out a grain-free and dairy free diet, I knew I would have to say goodbye to my oatmeal. I had trouble coming up with another healthy alternative that would keep me full and satisfied, until I stumbled upon several different recipes for sweet potato muffins. I decided to try to come up with my own recipe to turn a sweet potato into a delicious breakfast treat. I will share my recipe with you below.

The Southern Magnolia is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising and linking to amazon.com.

It takes a fair amount of time to makes these sweet potato muffins so I try to make a batch that will last me a week. I start by roasting two large (or 3 small) sweet potatoes in the oven. I wash the sweet potatoes and wrap them in aluminum foil before placing them on a baking sheet and into the oven at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It typically takes close to 1 hour depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. I will periodically check the sweet potatoes by squeezing them to tell if they are done or not. Once the sweet potatoes are done, I remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool.

Dairy-Free, Grain-Free Sweet Potato Muffins

After the sweet potatoes have cooled, I scrape the potatoes away from the skins and place the potatoes into a food processor. (If you don’t have a food processor I highly recommend getting one, I use mine all the time. I have one similar to this and use it to make recipes like this, this, and this. ) After the sweet potatoes have been added to the food processor, I add 1 cup of almond butter (I prefer this one) but you could substitute any nut butter you like. I also add in 2 eggs, 2 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 cup of sugar free maple syrup (I used this one), 3/4 cup of almond flour, and 2 two tsp of cinnamon. Once all of the ingredients have been added, process the mixture until it is completely combined.

Dairy-Free, Grain-Free Sweet Potato Muffins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. Next line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray with cooking spray. Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin, (I typically fill the cupcake liner 3/4 of the way as it will rise some when baking). Bake the muffins for 20 minutes. I check to see if the muffins are done by sticking a toothpick into a muffin and removing once toothpick comes out clean. Once the muffins are done, remove and let cool.
