For the longest time I struggled with how to make something feel functional and beautiful. It felt like I had to pick and choose.

Like if it worked well, it couldn’t also feel warm and inviting… and if it looked beautiful, it probably wasn’t very practical for real, everyday life.

But somewhere along the way, I realized it was never about choosing one or the other—it was about layering both.

Letting the pretty things be useful.
Letting the functional things be seen.
Letting a space feel lived-in, not just styled.

And that’s where the magic started to happen.
So if you’ve been waiting for permission to make your spaces both… this is it 🤍

Comment SHORTS below and I’ll send you all my Amazon favorites along with the tops, pullovers, and accessories I style them with! ✨

There’s just something about taking the “basic” pieces in your closet and layering them in a way that makes you feel cute, comfortable, and a little more put together. 🤎

I think athletic wear gets a bad rep for feeling too casual sometimes, but honestly? A good pair of athletic shorts, an oversized pullover, a fitted tank, and some chunky gold jewelry can make you feel surprisingly elevated while still being comfortable enough to live real life in.

Whether I’m heading to the gym, sitting at a baseball game, grabbing a mid-morning coffee, or just running around town with the kids… this is pretty much my summer uniform. 😜

And Amazon has honestly become one of my favorite places to find athletic shorts that are cute, flattering, and actually affordable.

#ad I feel like flooring is one of those things you don’t fully appreciate… until you pick the
wrong one 😅

When we started this bathroom, I knew I wanted something that felt classic and timeless…but
also made sense for a space that’s going to get a lot of use.

We ended up going with the Style Selections® Sandyfield Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring from
Lowe’s, and it honestly set the tone for everything else.
It’s 100% waterproof (huge), scratch + dent resistant, and actually really approachable from a DIY standpoint…which made this whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.

Moral of the story: don’t overthink it… just start with a really good foundation and build from
there 🤍

To summarize….the struggle is real, first world probs, and I’m just a human that’s still trying to figure out how to be an authentic one.

Can anyone else relate?? 😬🙃👯🏻‍♀️

But for real…raise your hand if you feel this to your core? 🙋🏻‍♀️

And I hope, if you’re here for the first time, you’ll stick around for some more real life chats, romanticized rural town living, and recipes…it seems that’s my thing and I want to find my people while I do it ❤️🥹

Nancy Meyers inspired living room!

Why I waited so long to share this project….

Comment PART 2 to see what trumped all these pool “cons” and pushed us to do this project!

In all honesty, I’m still in shock that this project is happening. I’ve been dreaming about this happening for over 10 years.😱

But I didn’t want to share about it quite yet because…

1.) I didn’t want to get my hopes up / I wanted to keep my expectations low 😝something I’ve been working on for a loooonnnggg time 😬

2.) I didn’t want to come across like I was bragging. I understand what this project projects and I never want people to feel like “we have it all.” We’ve worked hard over the last decade to do a project like this and this isn’t a luxury we take for granted!

3.) A pool adds very little resale value to your home. Guy and I have been doing the real estate business for 11 years and we understand how the market works…pools don’t typically make sense from a profitability standpoint and we’ve just had to become ok with that.

BUT….there are a lot of reasons that ended up trumping these reasons. Head to PART 2 to see WHY we decided to put one in!

I’ve learned that the most memorable gatherings are rarely about extravagant tables or expensive decorations.

They’re about creating a feeling.

A backyard that invites people to slow down. A table that encourages everyone to stay just a little longer. Tiny details that make an ordinary evening feel like a memory you’ll want to revisit years from now.

These little gingham pennants did exactly that for our garden party. They instantly made the space feel nostalgic, collected, and like a European summer tucked into our own backyard.

And the best part? They were only **$12**, and one banner stretches **16 feet**, making them one of the easiest ways to transform an outdoor space without spending a fortune.

If you’re hosting anything this summer…from a garden party to a birthday, baby shower, or simple dinner with friends…these are worth having on hand.

**Comment “BANNER” below, and I’ll send the exact ones I used straight to your DMs.** 🤍

For years, I just assumed not being “regular” was normal.

I’d go days without feeling like my digestion was working the way it should. I was constantly bloated, uncomfortable, and honestly just accepted that it was part of being an adult.

Then, about two months ago, I made one small change that has made a surprisingly big difference: I started adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to my oatmeal every single morning.

Combined with the fiber already found in oats, it’s become one of the easiest ways I’ve found to support my digestion. Since making it part of my morning routine, I’ve been consistently regular, my bloating has improved, and I simply feel better.

Of course, this wasn’t the only change I made while working on healing my gut, but it’s one habit that’s been incredibly easy to stick with and one I’ll continue long after my healing journey.

If you’re looking for a simple place to start, this might be it.

✨ Save this post so you remember to add chia seeds to your next bowl of oatmeal.

I didn’t get the pink room of my dreams growing up… and no, it wasn’t a tragic childhood event 😌

But apparently my adult coping mechanism is turning an entire room into a whimsical, vintage-inspired pink fantasy.

For the children.
Obviously. 💅

Turns out I was fulfilling a dream I forgot I even had 🩷

If you love vintage-inspired, moody, lived-in corners and old homes that feel layered and personal… follow along. I’m basically just over here decorating like it’s therapy ✨

RAISE your hand if you cannot mentally deal with the thought of fall right now! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Being a content creator, there’s always this rush to dip into the next season before the one you’re in has even begun to close.

It can feel like you’re missing out on earning opportunities and potential. You feel it from every angle: Reels, Stories, Carousels, Trial Reels, TikTok, YouTube, newsletter subscribers…

But when I look at moments like this, all I want to do is relish the season I’m in. All I want to do is slow down the clock.

I don’t know about you, but I’m learning how to be a content creator who can still make a living doing this (because I truly love it) while also slowing down and remembering what’s most important.

I wasn’t meant to be a walking, talking billboard every second of my life. I’m allowed to love the moments happening right in front of me and share those too.

It doesn’t matter if brands don’t like it or if those moments don’t perform as well. I hope this gives you permission too.

You’re free to share what you want to share, how you want to share it, and be uniquely YOU in the process. Because the right people will always be drawn to the real you.
