Hi there, this is Katie.I saw a super cute rope hanging shelf online, but I knew I could make them myself for cheaper. (My super handy husband helped too).

Stepping into today like… We’re all about ways to make your mornings better and while many of us are working from home right now, it’s nice to have some things that can make life a bit easier these day. Two of our awesome team members are sharing their favorite microfiber hair towel wraps! Bryn first tried her hair towel from a recent FabFitFun box and she’s totally obsessed, which originally prompted our whole excitement about this post-shower trend. “I received my hair towel in my last FabFitFun box a few months ago and I’m seriously in LOVE with it! I...
