Curtains and draperies have never appealed to me maintenance wise and I don’t like the way blinds operate, so I opted for a temporary solution in the form of shades. This year, however, I realized I lost track of time and they had remained on my living room’s windows a bit longer than planned. TheyContinue reading
I love sincerity, it’s a trait I’ve always admired in people. One of the basic examples of this for me would be living up to your own age. Sincerity starts from yourself!
