As someone who never intended to be living in a studio apartment in my thirties, making sure my apartment felt like my dream home was a top priority. After hunting for an apartment for months, I finally stumbled upon this quaint, private, but tiny studio apartment that I instantly saw huge potential in. With that being said, the potential was buried deep, deep, down. It took me YEARS to reach a point where I felt like I had gotten closer to that ‘dream home’ feeling in my tiny studio apartment. With the help of Pinterest, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, family and […]

JUMP TO: TOP PRODUCTS OF 2022 I am depressed. Truthfully I think I’ve been depressed since early 2020. I started writing this post in my my head on Christmas morning while driving over to my parents house. As someone who heavily lives inside her head, it is tremendously uncomfortable for me to say this (or in this case, write it) out-loud. Because of this, I tend to feel incredibly stuck. I decided to write this post because by admitting out loud for others to see that I am indeed ‘depressed’ I will be held accountable (by my own understanding) of […]

“Oh what a beautiful mooorrnninggg…oh what a beautiful dayyyyyy!” Haha don’t ask me why but that song popped into my head when I sat down to write this post. To be honest it’s currently 10:49pm and I am babysitting. I’ve been selecting and editing photos from my sister Liz’s baby shower that I want to share with you. I think that this song embodies the feeling I had the day AFTER the shower was over. Don’t get me wrong I was overjoyed to throw the shower and everything went well! The decorations were a hit and everyone seemed to enjoy […]

Honestly, this season has been filled with a ton of self evaluation and […]
