Things I Love Thursday – Champagne and Marble QI Charger

For things I love Thursday, I had to share with you my new cell phone charger because it’s kind of…beautiful.

Let me start by saying I do not have a love for new technology but I have a husband and several co-workers that do and they share some of the new technology they’re using. So, QI may not be new to you, but it’s new to me! I am also no guru of QI wireless charging but the main idea is that you can set your phone on this charger and it charges your device without plugging anything in.  A lot of new phones automatically support QI charging but if your phone doesn’t, there is a little accessory that you can put behind you battery that enables QI charging.

Last week my coworker got a new phone so he gave me his QI accessory from his old one to make mine QI compatible. I was looking on Amazon for some chargers and ran across this beautiful Champagne and Marble Charging Pad.

I never imagined loving a phone charger as much as I love this one. I’m sure you know what it’s like, you use your phone at night scrolling through Facebook or Instagram and then have to reach down at the foot of the bed in the dark and hunt for the charger and then struggle to plug it in when you can’t see anything (First world problems, I know). Well this charger is amazing, I don’t have to reach down and find the cord to plug it up, it just sits on my nighstand looking all pretty and when I’m ready to charge my phone, I just sit it right on top. That’s it!! I love having a charger that isn’t such an eye sore and makes my life easier!

Happy 4th of July from my family to yours!

I know I’ve been a little silent lately, I am hosting a crafting small group through my church which means all my extra “craft time” has been focused on it! I wanted to wish you all a blessed and safe 4^th of July and hopefully I’ll be back with some great posts and projects to share soon!

 

Things I Love Thursday – Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

I’m not sure when this trend began but fiddle leaf fig trees are one of the hottest trends in the home décor world right now. I keep seeing them EVERYWHERE, faux and real ones, and I knew I had to have one! It took a lot of searching but I finally found a fiddle leaf fig tree at a local nursery and thanks to my clearance chair, I had birthday money left over to spend on it…WHOOP WHOOP!

I DO NOT have a green thumb but since we’ve been in the new house I’ve been slowly trying to add plants and flowers inside the house and outside and I think I am getting better, I’ve only killed a few small things so far so I’ll consider that a win!

So here is my new fiddle leaf fig tree, Newton. I just sat him inside of a basket I picked up at the thrift store to give him a little more character.
