Now that it's officially autumn, how are you updating your space for the season? Thrill of the hunt retailer Marshalls released their fall trend report this week, and here's what they have to say about the home.
When I moved to a small town and first encountered an Aldi, I did not understand it. There was, like, one employee working? And you had to pay a quarter for a cart (you get back the quarter, but still, good to know beforehand in case you don't normally have change on you)? After a couple more visits, however, I was in love, and Aldi is now my favorite grocery store. It's chock-full of incredibly low-priced food, wine and beyond, and the selection changes constantly. The home goods section (if you could call it that) is pretty unmemorable, however. A hose here, a seasonal wreath there, nothing to write home about. That is, until I stumbled onto Aldi's Australia website and saw their home goods selection. It's so much better than ours! Like, absurdly better! See for yourself...
If you aspire to a home that's dripping in succulents, you'll save a lot of money if you start raising baby succulents. And if you want to grow baby succulents, well, look no further than your kitchen, because you're going to need an egg crate! Made of terra cotta, ceramic or concrete, and generally used to hold, um, eggs, these multipurpose trays are great for succulent starts. We've collected propagating tutorials and a dozen egg crates in a range of delightful styles, so get to growin'!
The first step to becoming a homeowner is finding a great real estate agent. He or she is vital to moving you through the home buying process and will be by your side from the moment you view your very first listing until you've been handed the keys to your new property. Since your agent will play such a big part in your search, it's crucial to find someone who is the right fit for you.
My freshman year dorm room was a beautiful, brick, '70s era jail cell I shared with a roommate and her tank of frogs. It was a far cry from the dorm room depictions I was raised on. Still, the promise of these behemoth rooms, and the freedom that came with it, was as good a recruiting tool as any. It wasn't your guidance counselor that convinced you to go to college, it was Rory Gilmore and her sweet pad.
Here are the best dorms from the early aughts you wanted to hang out in.

Mortgage fraud may be both more prevalent than lenders know and more insidious than they realize according to Bridget Berg, a principal in Industry Solutions and Property Intelligence for CoreLogic. In the first of a three-part series in the company's Insights blog, she says mortgage fraud is different from other types in that it takes a long time to present itself and can pop up at multiple points over the life of the loan. By the time it does, it may be too late to mitigate the situation. The delay in discovery can lull lenders into a false sense of security. They might assume, if they haven't spotted problems, had a large loss, or have a low delinquency rate that their controls are working and they've had no fraud. This, she says, may "all be true-until the day it isn't." She lays out five...(read more)
