 One of the happiest days of my life was my wedding day…followed by the birth of daughter number one, the birth of daughter number two and the day I had eradicated a slew of cancer cells from my body. However, high up there on my list of really good days are the following: the day I first drove to IKEA by myself when I was 18 after having fallen asleep reading the IKEA catalog for about 12 years (it was my Goodnight Moon), the year I bought my first MAC Russian Red lipstick and the day I sold sunglasses to Sade (the singer) who told me I was prettier than Winona Ryder (a big compliment in the 90's). The day I moved to Turkey ("all by myself"…as my three year old constantly declares) on a crisp November day in 1998 was also pretty big. Many career and personal highs (and lows) followed but you can be sure that I had a huge smile on my face the days IKEA, MAC, Zara Home, AVEDA, H&M, H&M Kids, COS and Crate & Barrel arrived in Turkey. So, it is with great pleasure (and slight embarrassment ) that I announce my joy at the eminent arrival of H&M HOME in Turkey in on September 18…(appropriately 6 days after my birthday). Read on to find out why H&M HOME is the epitome of simple and splendid and why I might not be so shallow/crazy after all... If you are reading this blog, chances are you have shopped at an H&M at one point or another. Very few of you though I am sure have ever shopped at an H&M Home store. You might even be surprised to hear that H&M carries housewares and decorative goodies and linens and beautiful storage solutions AND gorgeous stuff for kids' rooms. Whether you like or dress from H&M or not (it is not always an easy store concept to maneuver through to find the good stuff), I can almost guarantee that you will really, really like H&M home--especially if you like Zara Home, Crate and Barrel, CB2, West Elm or IKEA. First of all, H&M home is lower priced than all of these brands…and arguably better styled as it retains a scandinavian-modern-but-cozy feel with all of its products. I hope H&M Turkey will do me proud and make the drive all the way out to Mall of Istanbul (almost as far as Acton) worth it. H&M Home opens there on September 18th. Here is a sampling of what I am already in love with from the FW 2014-2015 collection. I will save the kids' products for another post as it is too yummy to swallow it all in one big gulp.           A Few Simple and Splendid Picks...

Most people think of real estate agents as people who sell them houses. This is not the only thing that agents do.

One of the best ways to invest in your home is to invest in a good pest control company. You want to keep your home pest free and it is going to take more than purchasing DIY pest control products to get rid of any pests. Living in South Florida, there are many different types of insects that like to invade your home and make living there hazardous to your health. These pests include bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches and rats. Once these critters infest your home, it can be quite challenging for you to get rid of them.

Mold Inspection is important because it will bring to light some of the hidden issues you may not even be aware of within your home. Mold is a sort of fungus that can become airborne, and settles on wet or damp surfaces both outside and inside of the home.
