It’s really easy to fall into the trap of dinner out at your favorite restaurant for date night. On holidays like Valentine’s Day, it’s sometimes hard to throw together date night without having a reservation made in advance. Here are a few good last minute date night ideas outside of dinner + a movie.
Read MoreI’ve realized that my outfits generally fall into one of two categories: excessively neutral or a little extra. This one falls into the neutral category with all the black, but as with any of my neutral outfits, I add a little something fun in the way of a fun earring or, in this case, bold lip + fur.
Read MoreI know that Valentine’s Day isn’t at the top of everyone’s list of favorite holidays, but I love it! It’s in that sweet spot in the year where there aren’t a ton of things going on and a little extra love in the world never hurt, right? Still, you’re probably not going to slap hearts all over your house the way you deck the halls for Christmas. It’s just one day so I’m not proposing a big production, but I like to put out some of my favorite red + pink décor around the end of January to bring a little color into an otherwise dreary time of year. Here are a few ways I incorporate Valentine’s décor into my home and included are a few suggestions for Valentine’s themed pieces to use.
Read MoreI LOVE a new year. Seriously, probably my favorite time of year after Christmas + summer. As you may know, I used to be a hustler. I loved the idea of working hard + getting shit done. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong in that mentality, but I always reserve the right to change my mind + in light of what I’ve learned about Law of Attraction, that just doesn’t work for me anymore. So you can likely see my dilemma this year since I’ve gone from hustle to flow mentality.
Read MoreNormally, I’m a Christmas decorations until January 1 type of person, but this year I went ahead and swapped out our bar cart before we came home for Christmas so it’s one less thing I have left to do when we get back. Originally, I was thinking about going with a buffalo plaid cocktail napkin and doing heavier decorations, but once I pulled out the champagne glasses and remembered my mini string lights, I knew a simple gold theme was in order.

Read MoreMy mom is an entertainer to the core. Her love language is gift giving and I’m pretty sure her favorite gifts to give are good food and a good time…maybe a good cocktail too. She has turned her party throwing into an art, optimizing every part of our house to best serve the crowd and prepping for days in advance to make sure she’s not too overwhelmed the day of. So I’ve been learning from the best for years and I thought I’d share what I’ve seen + learned.
Read MoreI’m learning to enjoy the journey. September and October were so full of growth and new challenges that I was constantly occupied, excited and thriving. November hit and my internal growth slowed (which to me seems like the worst thing ever) and, while I was still chugging along at running the blog, I wasn’t doing much outside of that. I wasn’t inspired to do any of the extra projects I had planned to do. I wasn’t going above and beyond.
Read MoreMy taste tends to be pretty eclectic, but I think that means that everyone who walks in our house can find a little something they like! The same holds true for my holiday decorations. Here are a few of my tips that I apply to holiday decorating and a look at what I’ve got going this year.
Read MoreHolidays can be joyful but also trying depending on the situation. Whether you’re missing a loved one, experiencing personal struggles or involved in complicated family situations, detoxing after a few days of emotional stress is important. Here are a few reminders for those coming off a difficult holiday.
Read MoreFor the holidays at our house, I’m usually in an elevated version of jeans + sweatshirt (aka jeans and a sweater) but I thought I’d show a few different holiday options styled with a black sweater ranging in levels of formality because who doesn’t already have a black sweater in their closet.
Read MoreThis is basically just a list of all of the things I have and love. Sharing is caring, right? It’s almost overwhelming how much is available for 20 something females as gifts, but these are the things that I’m loving so you’ve got an honest opinion on what would be a great gift.
Read MoreI prefer to hear product recommendations from someone I trust. I approached these gift guides from that place - recommending things that I/we already have and use or things that are on our list. Without further ado, a gift guide fit for Seb (or an guy that’s easy to please and hard to buy for).
Read MoreWhere did October go? Last month in my monthly update, I talked a bit about my hope of getting momentum going on the blog and that was a definite success! We had a busy October on both the business and personal fronts. What’s on the docket for November?
