A TRICK TO GET MOTIVATED MID-DAY

This morning I woke up around 7:30am and took my dog (Bella) on a walk, fed Evie, showered + got ready for the day. What felt like was going to be a very productive day, quickly turned to my bed and netflix. I have no idea how this happened and I was having a hard time finding motivation. Do you […]

UPDATE YOUR BEDDING THIS MONTH!

Did you know January is the best month to purchase new bedding and bath linens? Retailers still go by the marketing strategy “the white sale” at the beginning of the year. Here are a few of my favorite brands + their bedding promotions: west elm: up to 30% off bedding + bath coyuchi: they don’t have […]

A LOOK AT 2015

Wow, 2015. You brought change and LOTS of it. Good change that is. January – It all started right after my birthday weekend in NYC, when I found out I was pregnant. It was quite the surprise to begin the new year…the worst part was feeling sick 24/7 and being stuck inside due to the biggest snow storm […]

WELLNESS NO.1 – WHAT WE BRING INTO OUR HOMES

You know what’s great about having a space on the internet that’s all yours? You can do crazy things like introduce a new series/topic on the spur of the moment…all inspired by a conference. Based on how much I’ve been raving about it, you probably guessed what conference I am referring to…The W.E.L.L. Summit! I initially planned on writing a long […]

WORLD MARKET SHOPPING TRIP + WHAT I LEFT WITH

Like I mentioned in my last post about WM, I haven’t visited a Cost Plus World Market since I moved to Boston (two years ago!) and boy have I missed it! I was not able to attend the Grand Opening event due to Evie’s birth, so we ended up venturing to the store in Framingham, MA last weekend. First […]

#OHIDESIGNHOME + MASTER BEDROOM DESIGN

It’s about time for a little house update! To catch you up since this post, all of the rooms have a fresh coat of paint and we removed the unnecessary sconces from the living room and hallway along with the telephone jacks that were in every room. These two things alone really transformed the space! However, we […]

Don’t get me […]
