Morning skin care routine // Three face creams that you can use if you have sensitive skin row, Probiotic Power Serum, Biome Barrier Cream and Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion Pump, moisturizing lotion. I have rosacea and sensitive skin, so I have to be really careful but these have all been a game changer and have not affected my skin and have just made it have a nice glow and it’s beautiful. Highly recommend.

We moved into Willow House in May 1998 🤍

Over the years, I’ve learned which design choices stand the test of time…
and which ones I’d do differently today.

This year, I’m sharing real design lessons from living here for 25+ years —
so if you’re a new homeowner, you don’t have to make the same mistakes.

This is the beginning of my Do As I Say, Not As I Did series.
Follow along for honest design advice, lessons learned, and real-life remodels ✨

If you just bought a house, this is your permission slip.

You don’t need to renovate everything at once.
Live in your home first and learn what actually matters.

Some of our biggest design regrets came from rushing decisions we didn’t need to make yet.

Save this if you’re a new homeowner. 💕✨

Friendly reminder you can always find a look for less with a little bit of time and energy. Just saying.

I was completely obsessed with the visual comfort bubble chandelier lighting but when you need two it’s time to find a more affordable option for the bathroom remodel! You won’t believe where these are from!

If you’re a new homeowner, this is your reminder:
You don’t need to renovate everything at once.

This vanity was part of a 20-year-old bathroom designed during the Tuscan trend.
Instead of replacing it, we painted it Chantilly Lace — and it completely transformed the space.

Live in your home first.
Your needs (and style) will change over time 🤍

Colleen Rothschild quench & shine restorative hair mask for all skin types is a must before hot yoga. The heat can dry my hair and this adds moisture and softness to it so that it doesn’t get dry from the heat.

#LTKselfcare #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKmorningroutine

I always think I can do it all myself.

My husband is much better at knowing when it’s time to hire help.

Real lesson learned — sometimes waiting or asking for help saves you money, time, and stress.

I thought using leftover paint in the bathroom closets was a smart shortcut.

But here’s the problem… rooms get repainted. Closets don’t!

Now I’m stuck repainting closets every time I update a room. 😣

Same bathroom.
Twenty years later.

This space was designed during the Tuscan trend — rich colors, heavy finishes, and bold contrast.

Today, it’s calmer, lighter, and more timeless.

Amazing what an $80 gallon of paint can do for a space.

Follow for real design lessons. Happy Designing 💕✨

I learned to make this easy cheese flan recipe when I was 13 and went to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 with my dad. Now, at 51 years old, it’s my signature Christmas dessert!

Full recipe on the blog www.inspireddesigntalk.com
Type flan in the search bar. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!💕✨🎄
#holidayrecipes

INGREDIENTS
White Sugar 1 cup
Evaporated Milk (1) 12oz can
Condensed Milk (1) 14 oz can
Cream Cheese (1) 8 oz Package
Large Eggs (3)
Concentrated Vanilla Flavor 1 tbsp

INSTRUCTIONS
Prep 15 m
Cook 60 m
Ready In 4 h 15 m
Total Time 5 h 30 m
Preheat to oven 350°F degrees.

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt sugar until completely dissolved. Watch carefully so it does not burn. Remove from heat when it is a dark golden, amber color, 4 to 5 minutes.

Immediately pour the melted sugar into the bottom of the 9″-inch glass baking pan; swirl so that caramel reaches the sides, working quickly before it hardens. Set aside.

Place sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla in a blender; blend until smooth.

Place enough water in the tin pan to reach the caramel of the glass pan. Place the glass pan inside the tin pan with the water.

Pour the condensed milk mixture on top.
Bake flan in the preheated oven until a damp table knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.

Chill flan in the refrigerator until firm, 3 to 4 hours (I chill overnight).

When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges to loosen. Set a plate over the flan and flip it upside-down to invert.

Slice into wedges and serve.

Breaking a 3 day water fast… 86 hours to be exact. So more like 3 1/2 days.

This is the first thing I’m having. I was told this is good for the gut health in a nutrition store.

Bone broth is common and I have that after but I do this first.

How do you break your water fast??

This kitchen decor blender is the best!! 1/3/26

Do as I say, not as I did…
built-in shower seats 🚿

We lived with these for years, but they’re a common hot spot for leaks especially in steam showers.

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, this is one detail I’d rethink.

Save this if you’re a new homeowner or remodeling 💕✨
