Kitchen Update
I know this is waaaay overdue and I apologize to everyone that has been waiting for this and wanting full links. I’ve finally done it though! I’m linking everything I can in the kitchen, which is quite a lot of it. There are some things I wasn’t able to link. The kitchen cabinets are shaker style from Home Depot. The paint color is by Benjamin Moore, although I’m unsure which color. If anyone is very serious about knowing the exact shade, throw me a comment and I’ll do some better digging to figure it out. The counter tops are quartz and also from Home Depot, as well as the tiling…
Quarantine Date Night: Tea Party Edition
These days of quarantine have brought many challenges both big and small. I know we’re all going stir crazy and struggling to come up with new ways to spend our time at home (assuming you have that luxury). For my husband and I, the thing we miss most is date night. We used to go out for dinner and/or an activity every Friday night no matter what! We’re now coming up with ideas at home, the favorite so far being a tea party! This was super easy. I put together a makeshift set-up using pieces I had at home. All are vintage or old aside from the tiger plates. I’m…
10 Books to Read in 2020
You know I love me some book time! Not a day goes by that I don’t start and end my day with a book. So, here are some of my favorite books I read last year that will (hopefully) blow your mind! More Than Enough by Elaine Welteroth This! This damn book! We already know Elaine Welteroth is a powerhouse with her long resume of accomplishments at the age of 33. She was the first African-American woman to be the beauty director of Teen Vogue and then the youngest ever editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue at age 29. She wrote this memoir and who writes a memoir in their 30s? Elaine…
The Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Guide for Ladies
I scoured my favorite retailers for some of the cutest stocking stuffer appropriate shit this season and let me tell you something, this turned into a seriously selfish endeavor. When I initially set out to make this guide, I wanted to do a really diverse set of options for him, her, kids, grandma, etc. What ended up happening was I found a ton of shit for myself and couldn’t focus on the other. So, I said “fuck it” and decided that this year I would just focus on stocking stuffers for “her”. I mean, I think I relatively know what a lot of women like and I definitely know what…
The Best Cake for Fall
I’ve been really enjoying baking this year and have started to reach my stride in the process. I think I can confidently say I can just bake a cake (still working from a recipe), but I know how to troubleshoot in the process and come out with a good product no matter what. It’s really cool! I feel like after a certain age we start to forget how rewarding it is to learn a new skill and now I’m just filled with joy pursuing this new hobby. I’ve legit dived deep in The British Baking Show as well, so I’m excited to branch out and try new things! I even…
