We arrived on a Friday afternoon, the sun was shining and we were ready for some fun!      We stayed at The Max Beach Resort   which is an all new luxury condo resort.  From the moment we arrived I could tell we were going to love this place!!  We stayed in a three bedroom oceanfront condo.  Each room came with their own full bathroom, there was a spacious full kitchen, fami

I have learned over the years that a brand I can count on is EcoSmart.  EcoSmart light bulbs are sold exclusively at The Home Depot and make choosing the right light bulbs for your home easy!      This past May EcoSmart launched a new line of Innovative Feature Light Bulbs in store and online.  I wanted to go over some of my favorite light bulbs from the line and their unique features, not to mention the quality and price value you can expect from The Home Depot.       I have always wanted dimmable lights in the master bedroom and EcoSmart has launched a new LED 60 watt replacement (uses only 9.5 watts) built in dimming light bulb!
