Wonbee Bamboo Infinity Anchor Watch
As most of you know The Husband and I are huge watch fanatics. I love unique and stylish watches. This particular watch from Wonbee is not just nice to look at but so unique as well.Starting with the Bamboo face! I love the look of this watch face! The beautiful light color bamboo has great character. With a complimentary detailing of the time marks and the Anchor connected to the Infinity symbol. I LOVE the meaning behind the Anchor and Infinity symbol; my sweetheart is my Anchor; for Infinity!! Under the face of the watch is Japanese Quartz movement. This is a battery operated watch. Added bonus there is a small plastic piece right under the dial that keeps the battery from running while the watch isn’t being worn or during shipping. Don’t forget to remove it after you set the watch. This watch has no date feature. For me and my bad eyesight that is not a problem! I can never see the date anyway! Because this watch is made with Bamboo it’s amazingly lightweight. You will forget you are wearing a watch. The wristband is made with 100% grain leather. It’s very rugged looking. I imagine with time this…

Spice Up Your Knowledge
They say that variety is the spice of life — and that’s a good thing. So spices must be important. Spices have literally brought people together for centuries as explorers left homelands long ago to search for these substances. Today, we use spices in everything from cooking to medicine. Spices and herbs make up a single culinary category but they are different. In general, herbs come from leaves and stems and spices come from bark, seeds, roots, bulbs, and other parts of the source plant. Spices can be brined, crushed, chopped, fermented, or roasted and their usage can make or break a meal. Here are some tips to increase your spice IQ: Storing and Prepping Spices Most spices have shelf lives of one year or more provided they remain in whole form. Once they’ve been crushed or ground they lose their flavor pretty quickly. Store all your spices in an airtight container either at room temperature or colder. If you have a spice that you don’t use often and you’d like to preserve its freshness, consider storing it in the refrigerator or freezer where it can remain almost indefinitely. If you are uncertain as to whether a spice is still…

21 Clever Tips To Childproof Your Home
Well, that’s embarrassing. No tips here to childproof your home. The ghost of PBnWhine is at it again! Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨ Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral. Welcome to my glamorous life. Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting. Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past. This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge. “Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?” Poof. Gone. “That product review with beautifully staged shots?” Vanished into the ether. Now posts look like: Step 1: Do the thing Step 2: [image missing] Step 3: Trust me Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes. And don’t get me started on the links. Nothing…

Marilyn Monroe Canvas Wall Art
I love Marilyn Monroe; she made red lipstick look great, and hips and curves look sexy. That blonde hair!! That alluring look. Marilyn is a true icon in Hollywood history! The Ballerina pose is one of my all-time favorite pictures of Marilyn. It was taken in 1954 in by Milton Green. Marilyn was having publicity photos taken for The Seven Year Itch. Clothing designer Anne Klein sent over several outfits for Marilyn to pose in, but all of them were at least 2 sizes too small! For the entire photo shoot, Marilyn was holding the dresses closed. I was thrilled to be offered this canvas of Marilyn Monroe in her Ballerina pose to review. This canvas is AMAZING!! The colors are vibrant, the details are amazing. I can’t get over how gorgeous this canvas is!! The canvas arrives very well packaged. Each piece is wrapped in plastic. There are three individual canvas panels. You can put them all together for one large canvas or spread them apart for a more dramatic piece of art. The canvas is stretched on a wooden frame, you can get this as a canvas roll. The canvas is a total of 40½” wide by 27″…
