Y’all know how addicted I am to coffee — so I’m sure it’s no surprise that one of the first little areas of our house that I focused on was our coffee bar! 😍☕️ _____ I’m sharing some of my favorite items and a full coffee bar design, all from @Amazon over on the blog today. Head over to the link in my profile to check it out, friend! ❤️ http://liketk.it/2uqDh #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Merry Christmas from the Birchfields! 🎄❤️ http://liketk.it/2IDww #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKholidaystyle #LTKholidayathome #LTKcurves

After spending the last few years mainly working from home in comfy pants and sweatshirts like 90% of the time, it’s been so good so get dressed up every morning to head to work!

I am a homebody through and through, but as much as I love my comfies, some makeup, a cute outfit, and a pair of heels make me feel like I can take on the world! 💋👠

Do you love getting dressed up or would you rather be Netflix and chilling at home?

Linking this look over in the @liketoknow.it app, so head over there for all the deets! ♥️

Today’s business casual look for my first day at my new job! ✨❤️ http://liketk.it/2H3IK #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKworkwear #LTKcurves #LTKunder50

I just COULD NOT wait any longer!

I started breaking out the Christmas decor this week, and I’m not ashamed! 😜

I usually wait until the weekend before Thanksgiving, but it falls so late this year that I feel like I wouldn’t have enough time with it up!

At least that’s the excuse I’m telling myself... 😂

Are you team decorate-early (like me! 🙋🏻‍♀️) or team wait-until-Thanksgiving? 🎄🎁❄️

November. I can hardly believe we’re knocking on the door of the end of the year already.⁣
⁣
I feel like I spent so much of the early part of this year focused on the external —how type 3 of me, right? But seriously, it was all consuming. And distracting. And honestly, unhealthy.⁣
⁣
— How did I look?⁣
— How much weight have I lost?⁣
— How much money am I making?⁣
— How many new followers do I have?⁣
— How successful am I at X, Y, Z?⁣
⁣
A few months ago, it felt like it all came crashing down. Because I was trying to build on sand. It forced me to take a step back and take a long, hard look at where I was investing my time and my heart.⁣
⁣
And then it hit me — to actually build something meaningful, on a SOLID foundation, I needed to invest in myself first. I needed to intentionally seek out healing, from the inside out. I needed to put my own wellness, mind body and soul, first.⁣
⁣
Girl, I get it. Life is TOUGH. There are responsibilities and relationships and distractions and it is straight up overwhelming, ESPECIALLY when you’re trying to chase your dreams.⁣
⁣
But what if I told you that the real key to achieving those dreams is to stop chasing all together.⁣
⁣
What if the key isn’t sacrificing yourself on the altar of accomplishing one. more. thing. but instead it’s turning your attention on yourself?⁣
⁣
I know, it feels selfish and backwards — but hear me out.⁣
⁣
When you focus on yourself, and your own wholeness and wellness, I promise you’ll find that the cup that was nearing empty before is slowly filling back up. And once it’s full? That’s when the overflow happens.⁣
⁣
Here’s my challenge for you on this first day of the second half of the year — take 30 minutes today and do something for YOU.⁣
⁣
Meditate. Pray. Read. Take a warm bath. Go for a walk. Sit in the sun.⁣
⁣
Whatever you do, do it for YOU. Because as the age old saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup.⁣
⁣
So, what will do today to take time for yourself? I want to hear allllll about it! xo

Every time we venture out, I fall more and more in love with this city. We’ve been what feels like EVERYWHERE — suburban towns, big cities, out in the country, not to mention a huge variety of weather ranging from hot Florida summers to frigid New England winters.

But after two months here, this city feels... different. In the best way. It’s bustling and full of life and culture, but still cozy and intimate in its own unique way.

Tampa is stealing my heart, and I think maybe, just maybe, this is where it will stay ❤️

While people are putting up their Christmas trees today (seriously y’all, WHY 😂) I’m still reminiscing about how much fun Halloween was! 🧡

Because I’m still in the spirit, I thought I’d share a close up of last night’s spooky-inspired makeup look. I went for an orange-tinted smokey eye with a dramatic winged eyeliner and long, spider leg-esque top and bottom lashes. I’m linking to allllll the goodies over in the @liketoknow.it app!

Are you feeling the Thanksgiving and Christmas spirit or still clinging to Halloween like I am? 👻🎃🖤

If being obsessed with avocado toast with Trader Joe’s EBTB seasoning is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right! It helps that this nail color looks so good next to that avo green 😜💅🏻🥑 Are you on the avocado bandwagon or is it overrated? http://liketk.it/2GqwF #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Sometimes some winged eyeliner, a pair of heels, and a night away with the hubs is all you need ❤️

We’re soaking up ALL of the Christmas spirit — Florida style! Feeling thankful for this much needed little getaway ❤️✨🎄 http://liketk.it/2yY2l #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Work hard, play hard ✨🍸 Happy Saturday, babes! The countdown is on ‘til Christmas, and I may or may not already be celebrating — I just can’t help myself! 🎄❤️

I finally got around to bringing out some of our spring decor this week — and it’s seriously helped to brighten things up around here! ☀️
_____
If you’re looking for some inexpensive spring decor, these floral prints are free downloads available from The @Magnolia Journal! Just google “Free Magnolia Journal Content” to find them on their website! I printed them out, trimmed them up a bit, and put them in these cute little frames. I just adore how it turned out!
_____
Has spring made it to your house yet? 🌺🌷🌸🌿

There’s still a TON of snow outside, so it’s an evening spent at home for us tonight! I’m getting in some after work reading before getting a workout in — and I’m totally into this book. If you’re looking for a good fictional crime novel, definitely pick this one up!
_____
What books can you just not put down right now? I’m looking for my next favorite once I’m through with this one! 📚❤️ http://liketk.it/2uZe3 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

A restful morning at home before Craig and I head down to Rhode Island for a little pre-Valentine’s Day getaway. It’s been a long and tiring few weeks, so we made the spontaneous decision to book an adorable little @AirBnB in downtown Providence. I’m so looking forward to our little weekend adventure!
_____
If you’ve ever spent any time in Providence, do you have any recommendations on fun things to do or places to eat? 💕

I’ve been feeling a little burnt out lately, so a Friday night that looks like this is SO welcome! 💕
_____
I bought this book when it first came out but it’s been sitting on my shelf since then. I know, I know, I’m a horrible @JoannaGaines fan ;) I’m def looking forward to diving into it this weekend!
_____
What books are you digging into right now, lovely? 📚 http://liketk.it/2uuhM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I love coming home from work to a clean house, lighting a few candles, and curling up with a hot beverage, snuggled up next to my hubby. It really is the little things. ☕️🌿

What’s your favorite evening ritual? ✨

If you’ve been following along on the blog and my Stories, you know that I’ve been working on our dining room. We have a new table and chairs, moved a new rug into the room, added a console table that’s serving as a coffee bar — but I’ve had such a creative block when it came to styling the main wall!
_____
My lovely mother in law bought us this cute galvanized “gather” sign for Christmas, and I’ve been waiting to find the perfect spot for it. This weekend, while I was tired of staring at a blank wall, I attached the sign to a burlap pin board I’ve had laying around, and voila — this adorable feature above our coffee bar!
_____
This little area is still in need of a bit of finessing and greenery, but I’m just finally excited to have something up! 🌿💕 http://liketk.it/2um7G @liketoknow.it #liketkit

I know I’m late to the party, but my first candle from @antiquecandleworks arrived today! My house currently smells like cinnamon, clove, and warm apple pie — and I’m all about it! 😍❤️
_____
I talked all about why it’s my new favorite candle in my Stories, so be sure to check it out, friends! 🌿 http://liketk.it/2ujsV #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Our home still has a few wintry touches left - though I’m already daydreaming about the transition to springtime! I love this set up in our living room, but I can’t help but start thinking ahead to how I can freshen things up in a few more weeks.
_____
Have you already started simplifying ahead of the warmer weather or are you holding out with the wintry vibes? ❤️🌿 http://liketk.it/2uiTD #liketkit @liketoknow.it

As many times as it’s snowed since we made the move up to Massachusetts, it’s still just so magical every time a fresh layer of snow is on the ground. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it!

Has it been snowing in your neck of the woods this week? Are you still smitten with the winter wonderland or are you ready for spring? ❄️✨💙 http://liketk.it/2uhrQ #liketkit @liketoknow.it
