"My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy." THIS is the vibe I need for midwinter. Raise your hand if you can relate. 🙋♀️
This Is What Happens to All the Stuff You Don't Want. I've always wondered what happens to all of my online returns! Idk why this fascinated me so much, but it did. Perhaps it’s the e-commerce girl in me.

I pulled together some cute Valentine's decor for you. Some of my favorites! The bunting is everything.

Each year my long distance best friend and I go on vacation. Sometimes we go to each other’s houses, but most of the time we pick a place that we both want to go. It’s been a way we can naturally connect through the year and then get excellent quality time together. Highly recommend if your bestie lives in a different state!
