- Reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the new year can provide clarity and direction in both personal and professional life. - Online auctions can be a fun and budget-friendly way to find unique home items, but it's easy to get carried away and spend more time and money than intended. - When sourcing throw pillows, opting for down alternative inserts from stores like Pottery Barn and exploring unique pillow covers on sites like Etsy can yield high-quality and customizable results.
