Apartment Decor Wants

Décor•Interior Design

  one // two //three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine Would you be surprised if I said we were possibly (most likely) moving again in October? It’s been a thing the past couple years so we figured why not?! Actually, it is for a number of reasons, but looking for something a little bit nicer and a little bit quieter. I would explain more, but I’m afraid I’d bore you with stories of stolen trash cans, people breaking into the underground garage, and numerous police sightings near and around our building. I already went too far, didn’t I? Oh well!...

IKEA Finds

Interior Design

I finally had a chance to make it to IKEA the other night, which was wonderful because going during the week is much better than fighting the crowds on a weekend. Anyway, I’m actually glad I didn’t make it there before because I know how this would have gone down if I went the week after we moved in: I would have bought a ton of stuff that didn’t work with the rest of the apartment or that we don’t have a place for. Waiting until now has allowed me to realize what areas of our apartment need more...

Home Decor Wish List

Interior Design

We are still settling in from the move (after a busy week before my sister’s wedding and a week where both of us got sick), I am finally starting to hang some things on the walls (okay just two pieces, but better than nothing)! As we start to organize and I’ve become more acquainted with the space and feel of our apartment, I have started making a huge wish list in my mind of what I’d like to add to our new home. But just like with fashion, home decor and furniture adds up quickly, so I like to...

Moving Snapshots

Lifestyle

Wow. I did not realize how much time it takes to get settled in after moving (or maybe I’m just getting old 😉 )! But just wanted to share a few snapshots from moving and settling in over the past week. The mess at first… at least Emma seemed to be enjoying the new place and not bothered by the wood laminate floors! She’s doing great now.  We have a ton more kitchen cupboard space, which I’m thrilled about. We don’t even have a lot of kitchen supplies, but our cupboards were always so crowded at the old place. With...

Interior Design

Today I am sharing a guest post from BRE Properties about decorating your place with your own personal style!  This is NOT a paid or sponsored post.

Put a Frame On It

Interior Design

There is no doubt that framed images, posters, art or anything for that matter (have you seen how cute the idea of framed shopping bags is for your closet?) can make a room look incredibly chic and modern. Last night we just put down a deposit for a new apartment and I couldn’t be more excited! It has a much more modern look and feel than our apartment now and has wood floors, so I am already thinking about how to decorate and what to do differently. One thing I would LOVE to do is a gallery or art...

Decorating Your Apartment on a Budget

Interior Design

It can be difficult to find affordable ways to decorate your apartment or home, even when shopping at lower price home design stores or on places like Craig’s List because it all adds up and might I add pretty quickly too! Don’t even get me started on how much lighting can cost whether it is lamps, spot lights or ceiling lights. We have been wanting to add spot lights to the top of our kitchen cabinets for some time, but at $25 a light, it just didn’t seem worth the price or effort of installing them. Our solution? Christmas...

Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, surprise) I’ve been around... been creeping around here 😂 but haven’t posted in forever!

So hello hello! I know the world is still in a crazy state - and I haven’t lost sight of that. But like many people, I’m trying to take it all one day at a time and find joy in the small things. Aside from that, things have been busy!...

* I started a new job in November! I’m excited to be back at a software company and looking forward to the day I get to meet some of my co-workers in person! 💻💃🏼
* My husband and I celebrated 3 years in October 👰🏼‍♀️... we were able to celebrate with a nice home-cooked dinner (by the hubby of course 😏☺️) and a bottle of wine from the winery he proposed at @ridgevineyards
* I have been enjoying being more present in the moment and spending less time on my phone. As much as I miss this community... the additional time I’ve gotten with my husband and dog won’t last forever, so I’ve decided to savor it ❤️❤️❤️

And this is one of the only pictures I’ve taken this year 😂 I actually did my hair and makeup for Thanksgiving (ya know to hang out with my husband and dog), and even though my curls only lasted two seconds, I look happy and I was happy and I am happy (as happy as I think anyone can be in the middle of a pandemic). So wanted to say hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ and hope you’re taking care! 🤗
I love you and I love fall. Still love looking bac I love you and I love fall. Still love looking back at our engagement photos 😍 #throwback #engagementphotos #youaremyeverything
#Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat a #Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat and humidity that comes along with summer makes it even tougher to battle breakouts. It's also a struggle to find the right moisturizer that keeps my skin healthy, balanced and glowing all while reducing irritation. This summer has been especially hard as I've struggled with "maskne"! That's why I'm beyond excited to tell you about the Clarifying Oil-Free Water Gel Moisturizer from @muradskincare! This moisturizer is a game-changer for someone like me with acne-prone, oily skin. This oil-free moisturizer helps minimize impurities while balancing your skin's microbiome for healthier-looking skin. Since using this, my skin is clearer and healthier looking! I have battled so many breakouts around my chin and on my cheeks this summer - but am so relieved to be seeing results and seeing clearer skin while also getting the crucial hydration I need. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, ginger root, and Korean red pine extract, this moisturizer will hydrate, balance, and improve the look of your skin as well no matter your skin type or needs! I am telling you, you do not want to pass up adding this product to your routine! It is available at @ulta, @sephora and Murad.com. I am a long time user and lover of Murad products but have to say, this is one of my all-time favorites. Have you tried their new Clarifying Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer? #ulta #sephora #MuradSkincare #MuradPartner

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
