That picture is so cute. Yeah, I can't keep plants in my house because my cats will do anything to get to them - they chew them up, dig out the dirt, etc. They'll perform acrobatic fe...

I went to Flagler College in St Augustine, FL and lived in a dorm that was once the servant's quarters, where Henry Flagler's wife often went to practice voodoo (lady was out of her mind, literally...

lol. I love the bugs. The leather chairs are what gross me out, ick.

Pacifica soaps are my favorite! They're beautiful and come in so many delicious scents. I usually also have Bee & Flower jasmine in my bathroom.

Wow, I'm not sure what to say about that carpet color. It's definitely hideous. In one of my first apartments I had navy blue carpet similar to that, and have nothing but bad memories of it.

"scared off by the icky factor"? You mean, because they're ugly? Molly Margarita, that's what I was thinking would look best - painting the inside.
