So there I was, standing in the Ralph Lauren Home showroom last spring, running my fingers along this buttery leather Chesterfield sofa that probably cost more than my car. The salesperson was giving me the look—you know the one—like she could smell my Target budget from across the room. But…

Alright, let me spill about Christmas trees the way friends do—feet up, cocoa in hand, with bits of glitter still stuck in my hair. One year, I accidentally knocked mine over trying to untangle a three-mile knot of lights. (The cat didn’t help.) So, believe me, “perfect” is overrated. Here’s…
