Olea...

Not too far away from us, there's a super fun place called Olea. It's an olive farm. They have their own olive trees, make their own olive oil & other olive oil products like lotions... It's owned by a VERY knowledgeable French couple who are more than happy to explain the process of making oil & all the different kinds they make. Perhaps the best part is the free olive oil tasting! It will seriously change your perspective on olive oil forever... It's so much better than most brands!

I recently tried their olive oil body wash & it might be the best thing ever! It's super moisturizing (but doesn't feel like oil) & it smells amazing!

Their lip balm is amazing too!

As an added bonus, they sell different vinegars, spices & jams as well as olive oil. My favorite so far is the Fig Balsamic vinegar! So good!

It's right down the road from Happy Acres Farm & several wineries! That's the perfect day if you ask me :)

Decor

One of my favorite parts of moving is the decorating! I'd been collecting things for a while now, but didn't really want to redecorate till we were fully in. So, I've started with some small, but really fun changes.

My first update was changing the knobs on my dresser. I actually really liked the originals, but was in the mood for something new. I swapped the original gold knobs with these black & white knobs from anthro!

This is not the best picture quality (I need to stop using my phone for pics!), but I really love the way it came out! It makes my antique dresser feel a little more contemporary.

We also got a new shower curtain for my bathroom. I haven't shared a bathroom for quite a long time (my bathroom is also the guest bathroom), so it took a little longer to find something my mom & I both liked, but I am so happy with what we found (it's from Urban Outfitters)!
We are still not completely done, but I'm happy to be doing the fun part of moving finally!
