🗂️ What’s Inside This Week:

This week feels a little quieter around Frederick, in that cozy, catch-your-breath kind of way.

I’m sharing a snapshot of what’s happening around town, including a few local updates, a look at recent home sales, and some food and community news you might’ve missed.

You’ll also see a reminder that Season 1 of the podcast is ready to binge. It’s perfect background listening while you’re driving, walking the dog, or winding down at home.

I’ve been hearing from so many of you who are catching up now, and it makes me so happy.

Settle in, scroll through, and let’s ease into the week together 💛

✈️ Travel-Size Hair Wins for Vacation

So, I grabbed this 5-piece COLOR WOW Hair trial set for my upcoming vacay because I wanted to test everything without committing to full sizes AND I’ve heard so many good things about the COLOR WOW line of hair products.

I couldn’t wait until my vacation to try the Dream Coat and Pop & Lock. I already love it! It made my hair so much smoother, shinier, and frizz-free with zero extra effort. I just sprayed in the Dream Coat while my hair was still wet and blow dried it like I normally do. I honestly didn’t even need to go over it with a straight iron like I usually do.

The Pop & Lock adds in that extra shine after styling.

These minis are great for carry-ons, weekend trips, or if you just want to try the COLOR WOW hair products without the full-size commitment.

🥣 Cozy Crockpot Cabbage Soup

This week’s blog is one of my favorite cozy, no-fuss dinners. This crockpot cabbage soup tastes just like stuffed cabbage rolls, without all the work.

You toss everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. It’s hearty, budget-friendly, and low carb, with simple ingredients and big comfort-food energy.

Perfect for busy nights, meal prep, or stocking the freezer.

🏡 Top 5 Home Sales This Week & MaryLou’s Tip 👇

Don’t wait…PAINT!!!

Picking the right paint colors can truly make or break a home sale.

The wrong shade can shrink a room, clash with the light, or distract buyers from the things that actually matter. While the right color makes spaces feel bigger, brighter, and instantly more inviting.

Paint is one of the easiest ways to add value fast, which is why my designer offers FREE paint consultations to my sellers.

Sometimes all it takes is the perfect neutral to turn “We like it” into “We have to have it!!!”
