Confession time- I’m a 45 year old mom living the suburban grind 😬😆 this means I’m living my dream life yet the reality of my every day is that I spend a lot of my actual day meal prepping, answering questions like What is for dinner? When are we eating?? My solutions for romanizing my every day life are to invest in little kitchen upgrades that make this grind more elevated. I start my day in my coffee bar area every day making a sugar free latte with foam and it’s a simple luxury that gets my day started the right way. Also love my Bluetooth speaker that plays my favorite playlists while I’m cooking and cleaning! LTKFindsUnder100 LTKHome LTKFindsUnder50

We have a new property on Airbnb! We are so excited about this adorable vintage cabin near Joshua Tree. I tagged what I purchased to get this place up and running and cash flowing!

Design meeting outfit. This is how I am styling my new favorite neutral- leopard wide leg jeans! I always put my laptop and tape measure in this bag from Able.

Level up your Airbnb with a few upgrades 👉 swipe to see the before photos.
I got a much larger statement dining table and oriented it the other direction but I kept the chairs.
I got a new sectional in a fun color - bonus that it doesn’t show stains or wear and tear as much when you go for a darker color couch.
I added some fun art and a rug. You can make a statement in a vacation property 🌵🤠

Love watching the solstice sunset from behind my tree every year 💫

A tour of my home during the holidays 🎄
All these decorations fit in a few boxes. I like a “White Christmas” even though I live in San Diego. I do a lot of greenery (real and faux) and candles. I say no to lots of tchotchkes and just decorate the tree, the fireplace, and the dining table.

What I packed for our magical anniversary weekend in the high desert- I love a bohemian cozy maximalist vibe when I’m here ✌️
We arrived at our Airbnb just in time to catch a sunset
Went to see a little live music at The Palms
Did a little boutique shopping
Dinner at Kitchen in the Desert

My honest take on the design - take a first look with me at the investment property we just bought. What I’m keeping (for now) and what I’m upgrading. We bought this place furnished (with all the contents of the home, actually) and I really loved the vintage furniture but it still needs some upgrades! I linked my list of what I’ve got so far.

Here we gooooo! We closed on another investment property near Joshua Tree at the end of last month. We bought this adorable studio cabin on 5 acres. It was already an Airbnb and so we purchased it with all the contents inside. This helped with upfront costs. I’m adding a few touches and we need to get wifi up and running and then it’s going to be ready to rent!

Hot debate- do you do a real tree or a faux tree? I did a real tree for YEARS but the past 5 years I’m 100% team faux and I’ll tell you why -
🌲 I live in SoCal so our real trees turn into firewood three days after they go up and I’m done worrying about this.
🌲 When you do a faux tree you can put it up and take it down whenever! No short window of when this tree has to come down or go up. More flexibility. One less marital fight as we attempt to tie the tree to the car and get it in the house and in the stand.
🌲Although I have a lot of faux greenery in my house, I usually buy something real too for the smell but it’s usually something smaller, cheaper and easier to transport- like a garland, a wreath, and or a smaller real tree.

We gave a generic office cozy living room vibes at the Music Therapy Center of California. An oversize sofa from Pottery Barn (contractor grade) and a large rustic coffee table from West Elm with a washable rug complete the look 👌

My most worn travel shoe! Even if it’s not a beach vacation don’t you always have to take a flip flop or something to shuffle to the hot tub at night? I love my waterproof Birkenstocks from Free People. It doubles as a cute sandal you can actually walk in. I’ve had these for 2 years and they look the same as when I bought them. Here I’m wearing them in Ely Cathedral where I sang 2 summers ago.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Fall uniform with my go to- kut from the kloth denim. Add leopard birks for a little fun and a slouchy sweater when you can’t tell if it’s hot or cold. ✌️

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40

Loving these sneakers- leopard IS a neutral you guys 😆

How do you describe your style? It’s the first question I usually ask clients. Having descriptive words that define the feeling you want when you walk into a space is so important- especially before you start making purchases. Let’s define your style!

Holiday decor doesn’t have to follow the rules or fit into a specific color scheme all of the time- do what fits with your vibe 🌵

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHalloween

Easy fall centerpiece idea- thrifted candle sticks, some flameless candles, real and faux pumpkins. Cover the whole thing in spider webs this month, then take it off after Halloween.

Time to make it spooky 👀 tagged my simple Halloween decor that is fun that fits in one box in the garage.
