Picturesque Places in Central Florida to Visit Under $15

Image
Hi Everyone! I don't think I was clear about this but I live in Central Florida and I'm balling on a budget. I love seeing beautiful places and many people visit Florida for vacation, When I first moved here I was looking for places to visit that weren't super expensive and I can also take amazing pictures. Sometimes, I just needed a place that felt different from the everyday to recharge and feel like I was on a mini vacation for the day. So now I'm returning the favor to the universe, here is my list of places to visit in Florida: #1 Hollis Gardens This place is so Beautiful! I love it because it is so unexpected right in the middle of downtown Lakeland, FL and off the main street. It has free parking and you can just walk in. People get married there, is it so pretty. They have a building that is call magnolia for festivities. There is also a little area with koi fish that is pretty cute. I think it would be a cute place to have a picnic or go on a date.

Top 5 Easy House Plants

Hi Everyone, 2019 was a tough year for me and I sought relaxation through therapy, massages, exercise, photography, and best of all plants. It was tough, I hadn't dealt with trauma from my childhood and the issues were definitely triggered this year.

Huge IKEA Mirror Wall DIY

Image
Hi Everyone! It's Marie and this is my first blog ever and I wanted to highlight one of my favorite things to do- decorate my house!

I always envisioned a huge mirror in my house so I can check my outfit before leaving the door, but those are expensive!!! I made this one for just $180. My home's color scheme is black, white and grey so this worked beautifully on my black wall. I love taking random trips to IKEA and kept passing these nissedal mirrors that to my surprise we about 25x25 inches and were only $19.99 each. I bought 9 of them and placed them with 2 inch gaps but if you choose to put them next to each other it is about 6ft x6ft mirror. Warning: There's a lot of measuring but I made it easier on myself using painter...
