I always get so many compliments when I have this nail set!! obsessed with mismatched nails!!! ✨

did you know lightbulbs could play such a huge role in your energy, mood, recovery, hormones + digestion?💡✨ recently swapped out our bedroom LEDs for traditional incandescent bulbs and i’m never going back!

not all light is created equal! standard modern bulbs are filled with harsh blue light and flicker (even if you can’t see it!) which can disrupt your hormones, cause low level stress, and completely halt your melatonin production! switching to circadian rhythm bulbs gives you ZERO blue light and zero flicker. they mimic a setting sun, which lets your nervous system actually relax and supports your natural sleep rhythms!

plus, it literally adds the warmest, amber candle-light coloured glow to our room at night ✨ perfect for cozy season!!! it’s such a simple home upgrade that not only creates a beautiful, cozy space, but actually improves your sleep health too! yes, they waste a bit more electricity, but we only have them on for a short time before bed (haven’t noticed a change on our electricity bill!) and it is SO worth it for the better rest 💛

me 🤝 circadian rhythm lightbulbs. truly one of the best (and easiest) things I’ve done for my sleep, hormones + nervous system!

soooo just had to try my hand at some fun korean candy jelly nails 🍬🍭 💅 these are so fun! I love all the funky colours and mismatched nails and my hand is getting steadier to do more designs!!!! found this inspo on pinterest but not sure who the original is so if you know let me know!!!! 🩵🤎💚🩷🧡

petition to make glitter freckles a thing!!!! ✨✨✨ i’ve always wanted freckles and should probably just invest in a freckle pen at this point , but playing around with glitter makeup is just so fun 🪩 i’ve been loving taking these monthly self portraits on our fuji as a way to stay creative!! also been loving alllllllllll the grain lately.

our first project of this year and I’m still not over it! 🤍 so cozy and homey, it feels like a completely different room now! can’t wait to give you a full room tour! ✨

monthly vinyl wall refresh 💿✨ couldn’t decide if february screams more red or pink, so we just did both ❤️🩷 ever since we set up our vinyl wall, I thought it would be so fun to change out the records every month to add a fun new pop of color to the wall 🫶

putting this together definitely showed me that I need to get myself some more pink records! but I did bring out the lover pink vinyl which is gonna be my soundtrack for love month 💘   (also don’t come at me for having 2 t swift records up here!!!)

this months rotation:  ✧ taylor swift – lover [2019]
✧ green day – american idiot [2004]
✧ taylor swift – red (taylor’s version) [2021]
✧ cory wong – wong’s cafe [2022]

where I’ve been hibernating 🖤 as much as I love creating content, I truly feel so fulfilled when making music and composing. been working on some fun things lately (hard drives literally taking over our desk!!!) but until I share, here’s a look at our moody music studio we renovated earlier this year! 🎧🖤🪩✨

it’s so wild to imagine this as a once dingy basement room to now a vibey + eclectic space! still no regrets with the bold colour choice either, we’re so obsessed, we think everyone should colour drench a room black at some point 🤪

if you haven’t seen our diy music studio reno, it’s linked in my highlights!!!!

ok stay tuned for some fun music stuff, but also more edited home reno videos!!!! (I only have so many hours in a day hahaha)

our diy enchanted ceiling 💫✨

been very in the holiday spirit this year, so figured i’d diy a hogwarts great hall hallway — floating candles & all! i wanted a fun little touch in our home for christmas that was entertaining for the kids, but obviously nostalgic to those early harry potter days for us 🌲🌲

i’m absolutely obsessed with these floating candles, they just add so much magic at night (and equally as fun during the day).

so if you need me, you’ll find me here — creating magical, cozy corners in my house!!!!!!!!

(also me not noticing I was recording at 120fps 🙃🙃 flickers galore haha)

dessert coffee but with 21g of protein. ☕🍪 my go-to protein powder because these flavours are actually UNREAL and they’re perfect for slow mornings, on-the-go, or for an extra nutritional kick in your fav recipes (like protein pancakes!!!) these all-in-one shakes also have all 9 essential amino acids, which is SO important, especially if you follow a plant-based diet like me! so much more than just protein! 💙🩵 @goodprotein

you NEED to get your hands on this viral protein powder! (it’s also canadian!!!!!!!)

try it with 30% off 🦋 JULIJANAS30 🦋

DIY AGED BRASS MIRROR 🪞✨

dusted off my old vanity mirror and turned it into this aged brass looking masterpiece using only @rustoleumca spray paint and @amacobrent rub n buff!

this vintage @ikeacanada mirror is super heavy and really felt like good quality, but the colour just wasn’t working for where I envisioned it! I tried thrifting and even looking in stores but the price tags were STEEEEP and defs didn’t compare in quality! so I figured I could do this simple DIY and transform this old mirror into an aged brass mirror on a budget!!! defs anthropologie inspired ✨✨✨

I can’t wait to show you what room this is going in, any guesses?????

HEALTHY FRUIT LEATHER ROLL UPS! 🍓🫐🍌✨

leftover fruit from a party tray? don’t toss it ❌ make homemade fruit roll ups instead!!!! 🥝🍒🥭

just blend, dehydrate, slice, and roll — no food waste here 👏 plus it’s free of corn syrup and artificial dyes!

welcome to our favourite room in the house 🦁🌲🦒✨

sharing some stills of our dream playroom, along with some new additions! (while I’m busy editing the next reno to post for y’all AH!)

we’ve added more to the room + walls including a custom guitar, a thrifted aesthetic rattan hot air balloon, and one of my most treasured possessions, a limited edition print from @minalimadesign! I got this print YEARS ago and always knew I wanted to frame it and put it somewhere special. After going to london last summer and actually visiting the minalima gallery in person with our son, I figured there was no better place to add a touch of my fav series into this playroom for that extra magical touch! ✨🐉

we spend so much time in here, and I’m so happy with how this neutral, montessori-inspired playroom turned out!

what do you think — did we turn this sad beige room into a fun beige room? 🤎

7 spring outfits for when you’re tired, but still want to feel cute| becoming 1% better every day for the ultimate glow up before summer ✨

this week’s micro habit? getting dressed. like, actually putting on something other than sweats and a tee 🤪 even though we were down baddd with sickness this week, I triiiiieddd to get out of living in the same outfit 24/7 lol.

there’s legit science behind this too—getting ready in the morning can help boost your mood, increase productivity, and signal your brain it’s time to start the day. wild how just changing your outfit can do that!!!

no pressure to go full glam. even just swapping sweats for jeans or adding some fun rings made such a difference.

finding your style postpartum can be weird so I’ve been on a mission to find some spring outfits that were lowkey, minimal effort but still made me feel put together. here’s a lil snapshot of what I’ve been wearin!!

outfit deets (+some thrifted things)

what my skin eats in a day: a realistic skincare routine — becoming 1% better every day for the ultimate glow up before summer ✨

winter was roughhhh, mom life is obviously chaotic, and my skin? she needs a minuteee. week 4 of OPERATION 1% CLUB = skincare time.

this week, I’m focusing on a glowing skincare routine I can actually stick to—nothing crazy, just small, realistic changes that work for me. Cause let’s be real, I don’t have time to do a multi-step skincare routine, nor will I stick to it cause it’s just not realistic for me! (If you watched my last reel you’ll get it haha)

and yes, I’m still drinking my morning lemon water from week 2’s habit and staying hydrated (habit stacking am I right????)

14 WEEKS until summer. what’s your 1% this week? ❤️‍🔥

things I used in my first pregnancy that I’m using again for my second 🤍🦋🎀✨ part 3

✧ pregnancy pillow: ok this is a game-changer! if you’re on the fence about getting one, here is your sign to get one! this was amazing all throughout my pregnancies, and last time I even used it postpartum! they help relieve all the aches and pains and keep you supported while sleeping on your side! 💫

✧ moisturizer: i’m absolutely obsessed with this one from @biobaza I got in Croatia for my last pregnancy! This cream is SO moisturizing, and perfect for these colder months, so my skin feels nourished and hydrated! 🧴

✧ workout gear: while pregnancy is not the time to be starting new workouts, I highly recommend these wrist/ankle weights from @bala! these bala bangles come in 1, 2 and 3lb variations, and they’re perfect to add to your yoga routines, core exercises or even walking! 💪

✧ balm: surprise surprise, i’m sharing another @hatchgal product! this nipple and lip rescue balm is SO soothing, and hydrates so well! definitely a staple that I keep in my nightstand! 🍯

check out parts 1 & 2 for my other pregnancy recommendations 🤍

things I used in my first pregnancy that I’m using again for my second 🤍🦋🎀✨ part 2

✧ belly oil: there is no better belly oil out there! I said it! my sister got me a bunch of @hatchgal goodies for my last pregnancy, and honestly this is one of my absolute FAVS! not only does it smell delicious, but it dries quickly (so you don’t have to walk around all greasy) but hydrates SO well! I literally have zero stretch marks! 🎀

✧ pregnancy book: I read a lot of books during my first pregnancy, but none deserves a mention more than nurture by @ericachidi. written by a birth and postpartum doula, this book truly lives up to its title of being a modern guide to pregnancy, birth, early motherhood and trusting yourself and your body! I actually heard about this book through @kalynnicholson13! I love that it also includes diy remedies, recipes, meditations, journal prompts — you name it! 🤎

✧ raspberry leaf tea: as we’re approaching my due date, I’ll definitely be making my daily @tradmedicinals tea! red raspberry leaf tea helps reduce nausea, aids in labour & delivery, strengthens & tones your uterus and reduces the risk of postpartum hemorrhage! pro tip: if you’re not a fan of the taste, simply add in some lemon or honey! I like to keep mine in the fridge as an iced tea! 🌿

stay tuned for part 3 🤍✨

things I used in my first pregnancy that I’m using again for my second 🤍🦋🎀✨ part 1

✧ deodorant: obsessed with this @hatchgal all natural, mineral-enriched mama-safe deodorant! It smells amazing, and honestly lasts SO long! This is one of many hatch products I love and continued using even while I was breastfeeding! 🦋

✧ app: did you know there’s a lot of cosmetics and skincare you can’t use while pregnant! Once you have @littlebeanapp, the guessing game is over! It lists all the ingredients you should avoid, as well as lets you scan your products to see if they’re risk-free to use during your pregnancy! 🎀

✧ prenatal vitamins: I bought these @solgar prenatals with my first pregnancy in croatia, and I re-purchased for this pregnancy! They’re vegan, come in an amber glass (not plastic yay!) and approved by my homeopath for having all the essentials you and your baby need during the 9 months! 🤎

stay tuned for part 2 🤍✨

pov: you create a magical, celestial bedroom for your kids 🌜🌌🔭✨ a few months ago, I started to take on creating a space-inspired bedroom for our son, with vintage & mid-century influences, and it’s safe to say this has been one of my favourite DIY home renovation to date!

figured I would share some stills and closeups of the space and the tireless hours spent curating it. it’s the perfect mix of cozy, moody and aesthetic, literally straight out of my pinterest board (while still having a toddler’s touch!!!)

we’ve since also added a new addition to the room, and it’s so cute watching them hang out in here 🥹🥹

what do you think — would your kid like this night sky bedroom? 💫

when everyone’s posting christmas stuff, but it’s still cozy autumn soup season for you 🍂✨

back with another episode of soupy sunday — today we’re making a roasted butternut squash soup, thats not only healthy, but looks & tastes delicious! 🧡 such an easy recipe!

squash soup is also perfect for meal prep, and you can freeze it for future meals! I love canning my leftover soups and popping them in the freezer for easy, cozy weeknight dinners!

what soup should I make next? what’s one of your family favourites?! 🥰
