Will I finish this #wallpaper or will it finish me? 🤪

I started this before the baby was here and I manage to hang one piece ever other week. Yes, wallpapering over wallpaper is a crime that deserves the harshest punishment but we plan to renovate this bathroom at some point. This is a temporary fix to cover the 90s wallpaper and give Elowen a cute place to bathe at night.

My everything shower includes flossing my earring holes. It helps clean any bacteria and sweat that your washcloth can’t get. Fresh ears!

Cleaning your floors just got easier with the shark robot mop vacuum. Mel Robbin’s says to simplify your life with automation and habit stacking. I’ve added mopping the floors into my morning routine and it’s a gamechager.

As a busy, tired PICU nurse the last thing I want to do is clean my floors on my day off. The shark robot mop/ vac has been the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. It’s not a deep cleaner but if you deep clean once, and use this for daily/weekly maintenance, it’s perfect. Currently drinking coffee on the couch while Bruce the shark vac cleans our floors. (Finding Nemo reference). #nursegifts

procrastinating school work for nursing school by cleaning.

Okay fam let's talk. We've been lied to. Some influencers have shilled a particular mattress topper that is marketed as not getting hot. They forgot to mention their geographical location aka not Houston! So I purchased said topper, napped on it and woke up a sweaty mess. Then I tried again through the night to give the topper another chance. So then I had to go through the whole process of returning this massive thing that won't fit into the OG box. Save your time if you want to sleep on a cloud. this memory foam topper doesn't get hot at all and it's the most comfortable thing. it also comes with a cover that makes it part of your top mattress.

We are waiting on built in hardware still. Don't you like the frog tape drawer pulls?! Lol. But organizing has started. The best way to start organizing is to donate or toss what we haven't used during the renovation time when living upstairs. We installed the door last night and we love it!

When I was designing the closet built in space I knew we needed full extension drawer slides so you use all of the drawer space. #organizing #organized #organizedbathroom #slidingdoor

#LTKhome #LTKunder100

the bathroom is finished! we are still waiting on the sliding door and the black hardware. I still need to hang the light above the freestanding tub and me the roman shade using curtain fabric.

While we wait for our bathroom renovation to finish, and for the door to arrive (back ordered 😭), I've started thinking about the organization phase of the project. Visuals help me make decisions and see the big picture. Everything for daily use will go in the top drawers and easy to reach spots.

Two full bathroom renovations while in nursing school is no joke. Thanks old house. This is the design board for the primary bath I've finally decided on most of the fixtures. Im still going back and forth on the mirror/light combo which means my brain doesn't shut down completely at night. Ideally, I'd like sconces and recessed lighting but our electrical isn't configured for that and I've changed enough already. 🤣 stay tuned. Our freestanding tub is on back order but should be soon. Oh! And the shower head arm I ordered won't be here until Julyish. But it's all in the details sooo. There is still so much prep work to do so delivery delays aren't a HUGE deal right now. Thankfully we have help because both of us are in school. The gentleman pulled off two layers off wallpaper and still managed to smile afterwards. Anyone who has removed wallpaper knows that he MUST be an angel from Heaven. http://liketk.it/3gWf1 @liketoknow.it #liketkit @liketoknow.it.home Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app #LTKunder50 #LTKhome

The bathroom renovation gives me more space for plants so I ordered this beautiful bust planter. I plan on planting a maidenhair fern since they like humidity. I linked more #bustplanters and all of them are under $50 http://liketk.it/3fIwj #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home You can instantly shop my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

Since the pandemic we've invested in a few comfort items for our home and this baby has been bringing joy since day one. It's the perfect bean to cup #latte and coffee machine and it's easy especially since I'm in #nursingschool (hello time saving no driving for coffee!) Also, the used coffee grinds get turned into #compost for my plants. Win win. Look out starbucks you've been replaced. Do you have a latte machine? I have a new appreciation for anyone who can do #latteart cuz ya girl can't! http://liketk.it/30sy2 !@liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKsalealert #LTKhome #LTKwedding

I've been training my #rubberplant to grow up instead of outward. I found the perfect, almost invisible solution. Wow. what a game changer! #gardening #houseplant #LTKhome #LTKunder50 http://liketk.it/2LCr9 @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Im not sure if it's #nursingschool procrastination or me trying to minimize the stress of things that aren't organized. Either way, things are very type A around here. I'm type B for sure but as I continue through school, type A tendencies are showing themselves. I organized our spice drawers and labeled all of the bottles. We are slowly moving towards all whole spices but we will use what we're have first. Did you know that you obtain the most benefits from spices when you grind them yourself right before you cook with them? @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2Jd4p #LTKunder50 #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home #organizedkitchen #spicedrawer #labeleverything

Writing day. Bleh. I've literally been procrastination queen with this paper for weeks. It's my last big project for this term. I'm ahead in chemistry though...again procrastinating this paper. I really like nuclear chemistry though. Ok. Bye. Gotta write now. #LTKhome @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2FNgh #liketkit @liketoknow.it.home

This adult student life is no joke yall. I'm tired. Dry shampoo, espresso and no makeup has become my new morning routine. I have class all day so it's important for me to be comfy while still feeling a little put together. These are the most comfortable jeans ever so I bought them in every color. And this ribbed, thin sweater is perfect for Houston weather. Both items are on sale. http://liketk.it/2FJkC

It's just hair. Nope! Not for everyone. For some, it's their last bit of femininity because cancer has taken everything else. They miss their princess hair or they want their rainbow hair back or they just want to fit in and not be seen as the cancer kid. I've decided I'm dona ting my hair to the organization Children With Hair Loss @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKbeauty http://liketk.it/2FClx

Hide your shredder in a basket with a lid and keep it by the door. Shred the junk mail right away so there is no paper clutter. I've linked baskets that are big enough to hold shredders. You're welcome. #organization @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2FAGS

Can you believe our kitchen renovation before, mid and after? I cannot. http://liketk.it/2FqHZ @liketoknow.it #liketkit @liketoknow.it.home #LTKsalealert #LTKunder50 #LTKhome

My laundry room is finally coming together. Can you believe the wallpaper is a shower curtain glued to the wall? I love succulents and bold colors so this space makes doing laundry much easier.

I am week three into #nursingschool and I'm shooketh. I didn't realize how nervous I would get taking my first quiz. My hands NEVER shake but they did. Every single time I tried to write something my pencil lead would break and I then ran out of eraser!! Talk about social anxiety and embarrassment. I know my face was red because I could feel it. It's always awkward to attend class and attempt to be social when really all I want to do is hide. You can't hide when your pencil lead keeps breaking. http://liketk.it/2F6Nd @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKitbag

People ask why I never shared our kitchen online. It's weirdly tied to my miscarriages. I poured our heart and soul into this space and it became our baby. I had dreams about bathing our baby in our new farmhouse sink. And sharing online can be scary because with sharing, comes the unwanted comments and judgement. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2EkdS @liketoknow.it.home

I can literally drink an entire case of @lacroix in a day. Anyone else? I'm not proud but Houston is hot! I've discovered that if I only chill a few at a time and display the rest on the counter, they last longer. I only drink them chilled plus it saves space in the fridge. http://liketk.it/2DE53 @liketoknow.it #liketkit @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome

Pro tip! I hate emptying the dishwasher. To lessen the headache I divide the cutlery in the washing basket the way it goes in the drawer. Small spoons together. Big spoons. Small forks. Big forks. Knives. And miscellaneous. Then, when I put them away, I don't have to think about it. Do you have a home chore you hate completing?

Happy Monday! Our back yard is finally starting to take shape. I finally finished the #diy pool loungers, pulled the weeds, and thinned the banana trees. I linked those so you can grow your own too!

"Are you sure this @oliverbonas chair and cushions won't fit in my suitcase?" Absolutely OBSESSED with this new to me store. They have the cutest and most unique home items. They also have clothing but I wasn't in the mood to try on clothes. I bought this really awesome USB cork light that turns a bottle into a lamp. And it's rechargeable.
