I’m so glad I finally get to live in it, dirt and all. It’s been a while since I’ve taken any outfit photos due to my Instagram … Continue reading What I Wore
The Argument for Not Saving Things for Special Occasions
I have been guilty of holding onto things, particularly certain items of clothing, meant for “special occasions.” Pieces that are beautiful and that I don’t want to ruin, but that I love to wear when “given the chance.” Well, the fact of the matter is, I can’t take them with me. My closet has reached a point of being pretty well curated. And while my … Continue reading The Argument for Not Saving Things for Special Occasions

Struggling with Consistency
Depending on how much you pay attention to this blog, you might notice that I struggle with consistency. As far as personal pursuits go, that’s a common echo throughout my life. I’m exceptionally reliable when it comes to doing what others ask of me, but when it comes to what I want to do on my own behalf, I often lose interest, succumb to doubt, … Continue reading Struggling with Consistency
Bathroom Demo
Last weekend, my boyfriend and I spent a few hours ripping apart our downstairs bathroom. While still usable, after years of abuse including the last year of construction debris during the renovation, it had seen better days. The bright spot is the door we painted yellow and the floor to ceiling built-in cabinets for storage. It’s a good size bathroom without being stupidly huge like … Continue reading Bathroom Demo

Homemade French Bread BLTs
If you want your home to smell amazing, bake some bread. It’s tough to beat the yeasty aroma, unless you happen to follow it up with cooking some bacon which is what I did yesterday. To break in the KitchenAid Mixer that my boyfriend surprised me with (I know, I’m the luckiest :)), I decided to make french bread for BLTs. Or BLTCs, as we … Continue reading Homemade French Bread BLTs
Whipped Coffee Soda with Homemade Oat Milk
Inspiration struck before bed yesterday to combine a few popular coffee beverages into one mega hipster coffee drink. Watch the video to see me make a whipped coffee soda with homemade oat milk. I think if I were to do the whole thing again, I’d either add some vanilla to the oat milk or swap it for unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but I love the … Continue reading Whipped Coffee Soda with Homemade Oat Milk
A Place to Gather
The first draft of this post was a weak DIY outline for building a dining room table with matching benches. But, the more I looked it over the more I realized I’m unwilling to do true justice to explaining the how to the point of it being useful to someone else. There are far more qualified people out there who can tell you how to … Continue reading A Place to Gather
