Apothecary Jars: Decorating and Organizing Your Space

My mother and I have been obsessing (all week) over Apothecary jars.  We’ve shared creative ideas for decorating and organizing with these clear, glass jars.

kitchen-apothecary-jars-italian

Apothecary jars are beautiful to the eyes and can be used in a variety of ways.  For example, one can organize a bathroom with these jars by filling with cotton balls or bath soaps.

A decorative use for the jars includes using as an accent object on a table; filled with lemons or flowers.  I’ve discovered on Pinterest that one can make Apothecary jars with a simple vase, candle holder, and super glue.  I love this idea because I’m a sucker for a DIY project!

These sophisticated jars can also showcase the change of seasons (or holiday) with candy, ribbon, or even decor.  The perfect place to display an Apothecary jar is on the fireplace mantle, kitchen bar, accent table, or bath tub.  If you want to add a touch of elegance, place a silver tray underneath the jar.  This can take your jar from ordinary standards to ultra unique in minutes.

If you’re asking yourself, “where can I purchase a set of these jars?” Apothecary jars can be found at Pier 1 Imports, Pottery Barn, and Hobby Lobby.

Easter Decorating and Traditions

Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it symbolizes rebirth.  It’s the the one day that officially launches Spring and gives us hope that flowers are blooming soon.  Tradition also suggests that we dress up in bright colors to lighten everyone’s spirits.

Aside from wearing the perfect Easter attire, one should also remember to decorate our homes.  I do this for my boys because it’s fun to hear them talk about “the easter bunny” and I enjoy adding a sense of whimsy to my space.

My family and I will attend church, brunch, and take family photos.  Of course the day before we attend the annual Easter Egg Hunt and laugh about all of the eggs we collected.  Although we’re busy setting our own traditions, it doesn’t take away from decorating my home to create lasting memories.

City Sports: Fashionable and Functional Fitness Options

Purchasing quality clothing can be detrimental to a fitness or lifestyle enthusiasts wardrobe.  One needs to own performance wear that’s breathable, durable, and water repellant.  Those are only a few qualities that shoppers can find when visiting City Sports for apparel or footwear.

City Sports recently opened a store in Rockville, MD.  In addition to providing athletic gear for any workout, they also offer boot camps and run clubs at each location, connecting community members with similar athletic interests.

235108_md

I received a package from the company with core run tights, full zip jacket, and lifestyle top.  My first reaction was to jumpstart my fitness plan for the new year.  I was successful in grabbing a quick workout before picking up the kids and look fashionable on the treadmill.

Although we’re between seasons, the full zip jacket was successful in keeping me warm with the lifestyle top underneath.  I added my faux fur vest to the look for a “breath of style” after leaving the gym and running errands.

City Sports has a variety of brands in stock and they also run competitive sales on their merchandise.  Don’t forget to shop their gear category with products ranging from heart rate monitors to hydration packs.  Follow them on facebook, twitter, and instagram.

From my personal experience of using the body wash, the fragrance is very soft (feminine) and doesn’t overpower the senses.  While some body washes require a lot of product to lather, this isn’t the case with the Caress Forever Collection.  Also, the body wash is sensitive to the skin with little irritation while cleansing.
