We just hosted my mom’s big birthday bash in our backyard all thanks to @BedBathandBeyond ! We were able to light up the back with string lights and stands from them and added coziness with the outdoor rugs and fire pit. The cherry on top were the raised planters and potting bench though! I initially only bought two raised planters but liked them so much I bought a third one for our herbs! And can I just say this potting bench from Bed Bath and Beyond is so useful. Did you catch me converting it from a gardening potting bench to a drink bar? It holds wine glasses and all your serving necessities. I even used the recessed portion of the table to hold ice and to keep drinks cool! #outdoorfurniture #patio #bedbathandbeyond #summer #patiolife #LTKHome #LTKFallSale #LTKSeasonal
We could have unalived our guests! I didn’t know how bad the state of our doors were until we took them out. Half the structure was missing due to rotting wood and carpenter ants. Since we had to replace them, I figured this was my sign to give our porch a makeover. I’m not sure which part is my favourite, the wall basket as a wreath alternative or our lanterns holding plants instead of candles! #LTKVideo #LTKHome
Making blended over night oats with my Our Place blender! This recipe is so easy, delicious and quick especially when you have a blender like this one. It comes in several colour options and you can get the accessories like the pitcher for bigger batches. This blender reminds me of the Magic Bullet but way cuter and prettier. #LTKHome #LTKVideo

Why is it so hard to stay organized? You’re probably thinking, there’s never enough space and you don’t know where anything is.  Here are 3 ways to stay organized. Invest in a shelving system with clear storage bins. Now you can see everything you own and you’ll be able to grab things without digging around.  Make use of vertical space with monkey hooks or command  grippers. You can hang items on your wall without using a hammer. This will keep things off the floors and prevent things from falling over.  Capitalize on unused space such as behind the door.  Keep items you reach for regularly here for easy access. No more hunting around for those small items!
The laundry room is organized and it looks so satisfying! I love the Home Edit line especially for their divided drawers. They’re perfect for cupboards and they stack perfectly! #LTKhome #LTKunder50
Organize with me for Lunar New Year! I’m tackling under the sink so that things don’t come tumbling out every time I open the cabinet! I’m loving the lazy Susan for the back of the cupboard to reach all my cleaning supplies. Gone are the days where I have to take everything out to get that one thing! Woot! #LTKRefresh #LTKhome

That Dawn Powerwash & @scrubdaddy combo is 👌🏼. The Powerwash spray is so satisfying to use. It’s a dish soap that suds up and you can buy refills. Big fan of the Scrub Mommy. Doesn’t scratch but tough on one side and gentle on the other. #LTKfamily #LTKFind #LTKhome
You know I’m a Dyson girlie and for good reason. This is the Dyson v15 Detect Total Clean. We have the gold colour option. It is powerful, cordless and has a good battery life. Can totally recommend #LTKhome #LTKfamily #LTKFind
I saw @_catben_ mop with an @ocedarclean mop, so I mop with an OCedar mop now. But for real, this mop is a game changer. No more mopping with dirty water with this drainage system 🤯. My only feedback is that they should make it with a clear bucket so we can see how filthy the water gets. 😌 #LTKhome #LTKBacktoSchool #LTKfamily

Let’s refresh the living room by just changing the textiles! We did a little rug swap, changed up the curtains and pillows for a whole new vibe. For more sources, check out more https://shopmy.us/collections/405799 We are celebrating @lonefoxhome x @joonloloi launched yesterday! It’s truly a beautiful collection at an amazing price point! The quality is fantastic as expected from the Loloi team. But on a personal note, I’ve followed Drew for years (before I was a creator) on YouTube and he is a constant source of inspiration for me. I seriously geeked out the day he followed me back. I’m so happy to own a few pieces from him. And I know it won’t be the last! Congratulations Drew. So proud of you! #LoneFoxJL #livingroom #roommakeover #livingroomdecor #roomtransformation living room inspo, home decor #LTKHome #LTKStyleTip
Our living room makeover is done and we added a lot of colour and moodiness in here. We added some curtains, a rug with a fun checked border and changed up the style just a little bit to keep things fresh. Linking our frame tv, our rug, the bar cabinet and more here #LTKhome #LTKVideo
I love these textured throws, they’re chunky and will be perfect to layer on our couches. I got two different colours so it’s not too matchy matchy. The subtle grid woven in on the pillow and throw are perfect for fall and winter. Plus the dark brown with the big tassels are so fun. These are great options for throws that don’t break the bank and comes in lots of colours! #LTKSeasonal #LTKunder50 #LTKhome

Host a crafternoon with me I’m hosting the crafting party of my childhood dreams! We’re making cellphone compacts. I picked up these lip gloss phone cases at Clair’s and had the most fun picking out the accessories to bedazzle our phone compacts. I set the table and Snacks were my number one priority. I picked all my childhood favs and served all my food in cups! Made it so much easier. Next, I sprinkled all the supplies and make up products that we’re going to depot into our cellphones. When everyone arrived we dove right in. We scraped out the make up and depot our own in. The best part of was bedazzling our phone cases. They turned out so stinking cute. And we had so much fun together. And every kid knows the best part of the party is the loot bags! So I packed up a bunch of treats for the girls to take home. And we had the best crafter noon together!!! I love it so much!!! I can’t wait to hang this on my purse!!! What should we craft next?! #LTKTravel #LTKVideo #LTKFindsUnder50
I was about to go out to do some gardening and was slapping on sunscreen when I thought I’d share this quick unstick protection bar with you. You can have a full face of make up and apply this over and your make up stays intact. It’s got great reviews and it’s on sale right now! You’re suppose to reapply sunscreen through the day, and if you’re like me, you don’t because you don’t want to mess up your make up. This is going to solve that problem for you! Applying sunscreen and sunblock is a must on cloudy or sunny days! I even apply this in front of the computer indoors! UV light is still going to be emitted! #LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKVideo
I’ve been experimenting with make up a lot more recently. I think it’s hitting my late 30s and I got stuck doing the same thing over and over. It’s been so fun! This week I picked up this eyeshadow pallete and the shimmers and glitters are so much fun! The tech has really changed in make up since I remember. I’m wearing Autumn Breeze in Seoul Forest by Clio which is more warm toned. But I also linked the cool tone palette here as well! The price is so reasonable for the quality. And the packaging is so cute! #LTKwedding #LTKcanada #LTKbeauty

I love how this makeover turned out. Now I’m wondering if I should wallpaper the ceiling 👀 #powderroom #roommakeover #LTKHome

Our primary bathroom is so lovely especially with the mix metals. I love the polished nickel hardware and the claw foot tub we have in here. And can we just have a moment for that chandelier? So good #LTKhome

I hacked our bed to turn it into the canopy bed I’ve been dreaming about. It’s completely transformed the vibe of our bedroom and the best part is, I can change it up so easily! I had a few people suggest changing out the curtains to something lighter so I thought I’d give it a try. What do you think? I feel like it ties in better with the Secret Garden dressing room we made over last year. But now I think we need to paint this room. I’ve got a colour in mind but I’m curious to know what you’d pick. 🇺🇸 #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert
I wanted a canopy bed but my low ceilings said no. So I hopped onto @wayfaircanada during their Black Friday in July sale and found these cool curtain rods that pivot. It got me thinking- I could make an illusion of a canopy bed with curtain rods and some curtains! Of course when you give a mouse a cookie, you know what happens. So of course I had to replace our broken lamps with these burgundy pleated sconces. And while I was at it, I also upgraded our nightstands to these walnut stained ones with ample storage. This bedroom makeover turned out so good and I did it all on a budget during Wayfair’s Black Friday in July sale that’s happening from now till July 28th! Comment “genius” for a link for all the sources. #WayfairCAPartner #WayfairCAHome #WayfairCanada #LTKHome

I bought it from @buffaloandbubblegum ! She also made the stockings and snow globes. But when I told her it was for Gus she even gifted him that cake and Christmas snack platter! It’s just Gus’ world and we’re just living in it. I love the world of miniatures! Like mini food and dollhouse furniture?! Yes please #LTKVideo #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Will you be my Valentine? This Strawberry Bark recipe is so delicious, crunchy and buttery. A treat you can enjoy with others or for yourself 😉 When we were eating it, both K and I remarked how it reminded us of ice cream. It sounds decadent but it doesn’t feel heavy at all. It’s so delicious and easy to make! #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKVideo

This ghost wreath is selling for over $100 but we can make it for $10! I bought all the supplies from the dollar store and it was a fun craft to do! Linked below is a list of materials! https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/2281006 #crafternoon #crafting #diyhalloween #halloweendecor #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHalloween
Them: That terracotta pumpkin will be $125. Me: Where’s my paint brush? This DIY is easy but messy. I highly recommend laying down some parchment paper before you get started. To keep costs low, try thrifting and collecting pumpkins first. Or up-cycle some pumpkins you have already. We’re going to give it that terracotta finish. Mixing your paint with baking soda will give it texture and help the paint adhere to your pumpkin without any sanding. I did my base layer with black and then added some brown for a more dimensional look. I’ve seen a lot of people sprinkle on the baking soda and rub it in or paint it on but I find that making it a paste with food coloring to create that light brown helps it make a bit more realistic. (I couldn’t find the DIYer who inspired this step, if you know please share so I can tag them!) then I sprinkled on the baking soda and stippled it in. I’m basically layering on different colours and layers for more dimension. I find it looks best this way! I sealed it with some clear gloss so it could withstand weather and to keep the pumpkin from chipping when in storage. Happy crafting! #crafting #halloweencrafts #craftwithme #halloweendiy #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHalloween
