Did you know that the very first carrots were purple? In fact, all carrots came before the orange ones we are so used to. It wasn’t until the 17th century, that a strain of carrot was developed by the Dutch that contained higher amounts of beta-carotene and those became the first orange carrots. If you don’t have rainbow carrots available this hummus can still be made with any color carrot, if it’s a veggie, it can be a hummus. The flavor I love in this hummus is the lemon zest, fresh lemon zest is a game changer! Have fun experimenting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/934dab49-1cb1-431a-bb90-684aa66a5f03/Crudite+Platter.JPG Blog - My Beet Hummus - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/fresh-rolls-and-my-famous-peanut-sauce monthly 0.5 2023-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/203f0606-41f7-4a4f-ab9d-d625ead575a4/fresh+roll+3.jpg Blog - Fresh Rolls and My Famous Peanut Sauce - All I can say is YUM!

Hermés Throw The Hermés Avalon Throw Blanket is as iconic as they come. From the brand's signature H logo to the thick wool and cashmere blend, these blankets depending on which style you choose can run from $1625 - $4250. Here are a few dupes that will be easy on your bank account and you’ll still get that luxury glow up you’re looking for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/9532bb17-0c8c-4dd4-96c8-c985eb361d50/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+10.40.20+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe This dupe is just $49 and will definitely give your sofa a little upgrade and it’s made of wool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/72139d6e-7adf-408d-9c48-632423919ad9/Screen+Shot+2022-08-14+at+11.16.11+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Stone Vitruvi Essential Oil Diffuser I have the original and I bought her because you couldn’t find a natural-looking diffuser that wasn’t plastic and an eye sore sitting next to all my pretty decor. I love my Vitruvi and have it in white and clay. Retails for $123. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/0261ae12-28ae-4951-b8a2-d268844aa4aa/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+10.45.11+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe This Amazon dupe is just $39.99 and comes in 5 colors. In this instance I can’t imagine leaving my Vitruvi behind, but if spending $123 on a diffuser sounds ridiculous to you, you can always swap out for this dupe. I must say when I used to spend less on a diffuser I replaced them so often and once I was gifted the Vitruvi I haven’t had to buy another one yet! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/7750d245-c4c1-4c6c-917b-b860298b9cd0/Screen+Shot+2022-08-14+at+12.45.19+PM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Nordic Knot Pillow Highly acclaimed Icelandic product designer Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir developed the iconic Knot Pillow in 2011, and it's no surprise this innovative, Nordic design is currently everywhere . With its $145 price tag, this accessory sure is gorgeous, but it certainly isn't the most affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/23d7dd66-31eb-43e3-9827-dff41b20789a/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+10.09.39+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe On Etsy you can find so many variations of the knot. I love this boucle version in aesthetically pleasing colors! Just $56. Etsy also has a ton of other fun pillows if you search for the knot pillow you’d be surprised at how many fun options pop up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/d879382c-db8c-4168-9a51-124ad0f0e1d2/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+10.16.44+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Le Labo’s Santal 33 Le Labo's Santal 33 has been an iconic scent for years, and it's no secret why. It's a rich fragrance akin to an old Marlboro ad with all the "spirit of the American West," as the brand says. It has an "addictive comfort" to it, with notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, cardamom, iris, and violet, along with hints of leather and musk. Retails for $82. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/21c226cc-84dd-4711-a998-a4e034632b98/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+10.16.20+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe Some say this one is almost better and definitely worth a try! My daughters and I used to say, someone light “the man candle” and this one takes me right back there! The price is right at $36. With a charmingly woodsy aroma, Santalum is a well-loved concoction that’s our take on a classic sandalwood-focused scent. To the nose, notes of sawdust, timber, and clove give a unique depth to the fragrance that evokes the serene enchantment of a walk through the forests of the Redwood National Parks. The dry, aromatic freshness of papyrus, palo santo, and amyris work in harmony with the spice of cardamom and amber resin to create a scent that’s seasonless and enticingly complex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/fbcfcf7e-68f3-48a5-acf7-0680c61a8ac3/Screen+Shot+2022-08-14+at+12.36.04+PM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The cult Favorite personal and home brand, Aesop Amber glass bottles, undeniably chic and minimalistic these woody scents and luxury soaps make a statement next to any sink in your home.

Retails at $31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/344f6d13-952e-426c-a8c5-1f458ddd2c73/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+11.03.51+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Barefoot Dreams Throw The classic Barefoot Dreams blanket is a favorite among influencers and celebs. I can’t imagine tv night without mine, but I have the dupe and if the real thing is better I can’t imagine because I’m pretty territorial about mine! The classic comes in lots of colors, patterns and there’s a kids line too. Retail $180 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/7f01cbf3-286e-4f04-af39-87bf3f66e2ae/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+11.05.51+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe Another Amazon dupe, this is the one I have and it also comes in 6 colors and is $39.98. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/958eac86-b43b-48c5-b72a-d31eb3494b3f/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+11.10.42+AM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman One of the most iconic design of the 20th century, the Eames Chair + Ottoman is so good. Here is one of those times where if you can afford the original it’s worth every penny. This is a timeless piece, like a classic Chanel bag it never goes out of style! She retails for a cool $5520.75 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/b324ae85-ad77-4107-a22c-839b75da17f7/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+2.44.02+PM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe At Wayfair you can pick up this dupe for $1400, that’s about 1/3 of the price for the same vibe and style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/7c8f1b96-25f1-4766-bca1-c9eb3b06321b/Screen+Shot+2022-08-14+at+1.00.41+PM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Barba Chair This viral piece of furniture took TikTok by storm when users started making and buying affordable dupes of this name-brand beauty, which draws influence from Andreas Engesvik's iconic Barba Chair. Retails for $999 at Crate & Barrel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/c74e259d-908b-4e0b-bc76-b38cc6ebef01/Screen+Shot+2022-08-17+at+2.54.43+PM.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - The Dupe Leave it to Amazon, here’s yet another dupe! This compact chair with a smooth gliding 360-degree swivel metal base is a brilliant home pick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/16d9f048-7be9-4119-b226-001add6d0231/IMG_1164.JPG Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Fresh Prickly Pear Margaritas I was inspired to make Prickly Pear margs recently as the fruit (tunas) are ripe and ready for picking! It’s the perfect desert drink! I wanted to try making the real thing and I’m so glad we did, they were so delish and I think I’ll try a sorbet next and maybe even just some frozen cubes to have on hand for drink making. Don’t worry, if you don’t happen to have a prickly pear cactus nearby your local grocery store should have them on hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/ef3a0ef6-16eb-484f-bec6-694acfeb0fcc/john-cameron-DX_WW_J9Yh8-unsplash.jpg Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Picking The Fruit Just grab some tongs and pop the pink tuna from the cacti, the spines are fine so try not to touch them too much. To prepare them and remove the spines (the prickly part) just throw in a colander and run under water on high pressure, tossing them around together will brush them off. Believe me, this is easier than skinning them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/0564a2fb-7f9c-4153-a723-b7bb0d4c952c/IMG_1196.jpg Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Blend Those Babies Up! Any blender should work but a higher powered blender will be best, I used my Vitamix. Just throw them in with about 1/3c. of water and blend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/04c61e5a-e64c-45f0-9824-96636c03f32c/IMG_1197.jpg Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Strain! Look at the color! Amazing, right? Pour all the fruit through a mesh strainer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/db32a9ef-e3fb-4b44-b49a-c8c82888d2ed/IMG_1221.jpg Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Squeeze Next, pour the fruit into a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and squeeze until all of the juice is out. This seems harder than it is, and I promise it’s worth it! You can toss out what is left in the bag and get on to making a cocktail! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1495cbee-96c9-4c63-8d06-f7b008bff9ad/IMG_1172.JPG Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - She’s a looker… It’s a summertime favorite and I hope you enjoy it too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/0a8d7533-fe9c-48b6-aa5e-887a7e61d3b8/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Amazing Dupes For Decor + Furniture, + my fresh prickly pear margarita. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/brown-cabinets-are-back-my-nuface-purchase-jennifer-anistons-tiktok-salad-and-what-weve-been-up-to monthly 0.5 2022-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/2a713370-38c3-4444-87d6-63aa7d257e80/Screen+Shot+2022-06-14+at+3.26.54+PM.png Blog - Brown cabinets are back, my NuFace purchase, Jennifer Aniston’s TikTok salad, and what we’ve been up to. - Make it stand out Image Credit: Stephen Paul https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/0ad6b650-84ba-44ed-a3eb-07b60fe30f15/Screen+Shot+2022-06-14+at+3.29.00+PM.png Blog - Brown cabinets are back, my NuFace purchase, Jennifer Aniston’s TikTok salad, and what we’ve been up to. - White Oak This is by far the most popular and looks great with oak flooring, white quartz, and stacked tile. Clean and timeless. Simple and sleek hardware give this farmhouse feel a modern edge.

Although it’s been around for a while I think it’s a trend that is here to stay. It looks great with any hardware but I am having a crush on all things brass right now and the two marry very nicely.

I bought it and I love it. All the reviews you’ve heard are true, it is worth it. It doesn’t feel like an electric shock, thank goodness. Rather, it uses gentle microcurrent technology to offer legitimate skin benefits. “Microcurrent units stimulate muscles and tighten skin, giving a lifted effect to brows, eyes, jawline, cheeks, and neck,” says Francesca Fusco M.D. an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai in New York City, who’s not affiliated with the brand. “It stimulates collagen, circulation, and wound healing.” I must say when I move the unit up my forehead I can feel the hair move on my scalp with an electric charge, most people would probably turn it down but I get satisfaction that it’s really doing something! The gel primer is a very important part of the process, so don’t think you can skimp on that or replace it with something else. There is a visible difference immediately after, and after a week of use, you can maintain with 2-3 times a week.

After a little research, I found that this is actually a salad she shared while doing an Instagram takeover for the Living Proof brand. Either way, she calls this “the perfect salad” and I know why… it is! Simple and fresh ingredients make this salad filling yet still feel light. It would be a perfect meal to batch for meal prepping or serve alongside salmon, but I assure you it’s perfect all on its own! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/3eb05a1d-95b2-442f-8d63-035b2102921e/Jennifer+Anniston+Salad+Prep.jpg Blog - Brown cabinets are back, my NuFace purchase, Jennifer Aniston’s TikTok salad, and what we’ve been up to. - Ingredients Who doesn’t love a meal that makes weeknight dinner easy or lunch for work?

The heat is turning up here in the desert and the people have left town so now it’s time to get their homes spruced up! What we’re currently working on: A full yard reno using Yardzen and I’m pretty stoked about it! If you haven’t heard of Yardzen you must go check them out! Also switching out surfaces, lots of new furniture and lighting, and even a custom-built wine cellar! Stay tuned (especially on my Instagram) for updates on this fun project! We are still moving through a reno in Indian Wells. It was a smaller project but has been fun and I can’t wait to reveal some of that as the furniture finally arrives. Did you know furniture is taking 9-12 months to arrive! Sheesh! We are working on the renovation of an older space for the Chamber of Commerce to move into in just 30 days. This one isn’t very glamorous and will turn around so fast it might feel like a flip! We also just landed a new project in a fun location. The Thermal Racing Club! This is a new build and I am looking forward to selecting all the finishes for this one. It’s also unique as it’s like a giant man-cave. The house and the garage are almost the same size and it’s located right on a track! Dave is giddy about this one! We are still organizing, event planning, and doing whatever else fits on the calendar. We would love to work with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/601486c6-0e29-49b8-a2b6-75c14be85c8a/Screen+Shot+2022-06-14+at+3.13.40+PM.png Blog - Brown cabinets are back, my NuFace purchase, Jennifer Aniston’s TikTok salad, and what we’ve been up to. - Things I Can’t Stop Watching I was recently introduced to Architecture by Alexander on YouTube and I must say it’s a fascinating journey. Ya, maybe a bit nerdy but in a good way, if you’re into architecture then it’s worth checking out. I would definitely start with Architecture of Curb Appeal, Why Architecture Today Lacks Character, or even A Breakdown of Brad and Kanye’s Architecture for some amazing insight on architectural concepts and ideas that are really fun and interesting! I find it interesting how celebrity and architecture can go hand and hand. We already know that Architectural Digest introduces celebrities and their celebrity homes and people can’t stop watching. It maybe obvious to see that Olgiati and Kanye’s self-adoration is obviously what brought them together. Go watch some, I promise there is something there for YOU! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/d80af766-99d0-4146-98bf-821cdedd6857/Jen%27s+Summer+Reading+List.png Blog - Brown cabinets are back, my NuFace purchase, Jennifer Aniston’s TikTok salad, and what we’ve been up to. - Reading It’s SUMMER and that means BOOKS!

Over 2.7 million people have received eye care from DIFF's Gift of Sight program. I often buy a pair when the BOGO happens because who doesn’t love free stuff? I love a good aviator and I live in the top two pair most of the time, but when you want a little glam I love the Becky and Bella options as well. They even have blue blockers! You may already get yours from retailers like Nordstrom but the online shop has so many options. Have fun shopping! Shop them here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/912a2925-352b-49bc-89d1-191cbb1e1ddd/IMG_9106.jpg Blog - 10 pieces that will elevate your entertaining game, my favorite sunnies are on SALE, my carrot beet hummus, and our latest event. - My Carrot Beet Hummus Hummus is a spread from the Middle East traditionally made from chickpeas, ground sesame seeds (tahini), olive oil, lemon, garlic, cumin, and salt, and oh so tasty! Did you know that the very first carrots were purple? In fact, all carrots came before the orange ones we are so used to. It wasn’t until the 17th century, that a strain of carrot was developed by the Dutch that contained higher amounts of beta-carotene and those became the first orange carrots. If you don’t have rainbow carrots available this hummus can still be made with any color carrot, if it’s a veggie, it can be a hummus. The flavor I love in this hummus is the lemon zest, fresh lemon zest is a game changer! Have fun experimenting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/9e78f6a6-3cee-4ca1-9505-7d6430c19333/IMG_9109.JPG Blog - 10 pieces that will elevate your entertaining game, my favorite sunnies are on SALE, my carrot beet hummus, and our latest event. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/fc73a9a3-8306-448a-a89d-c858a553b604/IMG_9118.JPG Blog - 10 pieces that will elevate your entertaining game, my favorite sunnies are on SALE, my carrot beet hummus, and our latest event. - Let’s Party!

Glass sliding doors extend from the sleek contemporary kitchen to the lush backyard – fitted out with a white mahogany deck near the swimming pool with granite-paved surrounds.” “This entertaining space forms the heart of the home, where the family have enjoyed plenty of winter nights by the fire, and warm summer evenings watching their two sons, Will and Charlie, playing in the pool.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/b02095ad-9133-44b5-9e63-414cb6e6c83b/Screen+Shot+2022-03-30+at+12.25.44+PM.png Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - “Upstairs, there’s also a retreat, which could be set up as a playroom, while a study provides options for the new owners to work from home.

A colorful coming of age story for two young girls living in abuse and poverty. It’s set in 1920’s Mississippi and is a beautiful and harrowing story of two young girls brought together by a shocking twist of fate. I love a book that holds my attention but is also great by the pool or snuggled up on the sofa. It’s a USA Today bestseller and part of Reece Witherspoon’s book club, if you’re looking for your next book, this might be it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/c8dcca3c-115c-495d-8c9b-15bb3395e2a1/basil+4.JPG Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - Fresh Basil Pesto Nothing feels more like Spring than a garden just outside your kitchen door. All the wonderful aromas and fresh herbs added to your plate making it instantly more flavorful and beautiful! My basil crop was getting large, (thank you David for all those waterings) and it was time to harvest a batch and whip up some healthy goodness! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/a86ff9c8-8a2d-4307-ad47-8fba9abf047c/basil.jpg Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - Ingredients Making fresh pesto is so simple and takes less than 10 minutes. I used toasted pine nuts as the traditional recipe calls for but walnuts make a really yummy nutty flavor that pairs so well with the basil. I also swapped out the parmesan for a dairy-free version and no one is the wiser. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/dd663094-e18b-4de8-b202-56363fd843f8/Basil+2.jpg Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - Quick & Easy What really makes pesto so easy is that there are only a few ingredients and whipped up in a food processor it’s so fast and easy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/6fb9f433-d613-4ce8-9cd4-e94a0f14b916/basil+3.jpg Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - YUM! It’s especially great for summer-time lazy cooking and great dolloped on fresh veggies, pastas, eggs, toast, sandwiches and salads. Plus, you can alter the recipe in so many ways. Pesto Recipe Variations Once you’ve made the classic basil pesto recipe, try changing it up! You can make delicious variations with all sorts of nuts, seeds, veggies, and leafy greens. Here are some of my favorites… Swap out the pine nuts for any nut of your choice! I particularly like walnuts and pistachios. Make nut-free pesto by using pepitas or hemp seeds. Use any herb or leafy green. I like a combination of parsley & cilantro, or use part basil and part arugula. Finely chopped kale leaves are also a great combination with basil! Don’t let your veggie stems go to waste. Blanch kale stems and blend them into pesto with basil leaves or another herb. Punch up the flavor! Add a roasted red pepper, sun dried tomatoes, a charred jalapeño, artichoke hearts, etc. I hope you love it as much as we do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/b809d884-9417-401b-842e-6dbcf938622f/also+best+tabletop.jpg Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - Here is a glimpse of our last event… I recently planned, styled, and poured my heart into another event. I was busy dreaming up a garden theme that gave all the botanical feels with a touch of whimsy inspired by Kelly Werstler’s recent love of disco balls in this unexpected but perfectly matched theme. I usually like to take my original vision and build on it creating a tablescape. Everything that flows after that is inspired by the original vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/4b4d23ad-ed76-4d6a-a9da-8ec54278e837/IMG_7884.JPG Blog - A renovated California bungalow, the book I am currently reading, my fresh basil pesto, and a glimpse at our last event. - Read The Signs I love a good sign, and of course she went with the overall theme.

She had visions of this beautiful cocktail in blush pink glasses and we definitely brought it to life. We served them in our gorgeous Audrey Hepburn blush coupes and they definitely made a statement. I included the recipe below if you’d like to give it a try! The Monarch 2 oz. dry gin 1 oz. Lillet Rosé 1/4 oz. pamplmousse liquer 1 dash Peychaud's bitters Pour gin, Lillet Rosé, pamplemousse liquer, and bitters into a mixing glass; fill the mixing glass nearly to top with ice.

This one is rumored to be Reese Witherspoon’s next Netflix series so I wanted to jump on the bandwagon just to be sure I’d read it before the series airs. It’s from the same author as Big Little Lies and I read it in just four days, which usually means it’s a good one! I did find the beginning to be a bit slow but I encourage you to power through and you won’t be able to put it down. Do you have those people in your life that you can share your reads with or share books with?

It functions really well but I haven’t splurged yet on a full office makeover (also, I can’t fully decide what I want) so I did a small update to give some new life to this space and I’m pretty pleased with it! What You Need: Roll of removable wallpaper Box knife Flat Edge or wallpaper knife Gold leaf paint for handles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/3369e69f-4deb-4a10-81db-e23250e36412/before+IKEA.JPG Blog - Bubble inspired decor, coconut curry salmon, my DIY IKEA dresser makeover, and more… - Before You can see inside the drawers and there is no forgiveness for a mess! So, I unscrewed all the handles and set them aside. Cleaned all drawer fronts. Then I found this fun wallpaper from Joanna Gaines at Target and I was ready to go. I just cut a rough section for each drawer then eyeballed the placement, (but measure if you don’t trust your eye), just make sure the centerline is consistent on each drawer if you have a pattern that runs throughout the wallpaper roll. Smoothing out any bubbles with a flat edge and use a sharp blade to trim the excess easily using the drawer edge. Next, I used gold leaf and dabbed it on each handle getting an antique finish in gold, like the icing on the cake! Once they were dry I screwed them back to the door fronts.

Honestly, I can't even imagine what it would taste like if it was better because this is hands down my favorite recipe currently. In fact, I think I’ll make it for dinner again because just talking about it makes me salivate. Plus, Dave couldn’t stop with the compliments even with a full mouth and a grin on his face. This quite possibly is my love language. I’ll place the Half-baked Harvest option here, and mine is below! Have fun and I’d love to hear how much your family loved you after this one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/357c8334-85c2-49c5-b428-8beb5760a57c/Before.png Blog - Interior Design Trends for 2022, My One Skillet Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken And Rice and MakeYour Vitamins Look Good On Your Kitchen Counter. - How To Store AND MakeYour Vitamins Look Good On Your Kitchen Counter I don’t know about you but we take a lot of supplements at our house. I have struggled to keep them coraled and not looking messy for way too much time! I’d love to put them in a bin in my pantry but we all know, out of sight is out of mind. I have tried baskets, containers, cupboards but either they never make their way into my body or we look like old people with an arsenal of youth mocking us on the kitchen counter. Let’s take a look at what you could be doing and what I have done to make things a little more organized and also attractive. Who knows, you may already have just what you need! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/36372409-f21e-44a7-8819-72050f6b84c6/Screen+Shot+2022-02-10+at+10.02.23+AM.png Blog - Interior Design Trends for 2022, My One Skillet Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken And Rice and MakeYour Vitamins Look Good On Your Kitchen Counter. - Hang Them On A Wall Or Inside A Cabinet Door There’s gonna be two kinds of people and two schools of thought so take what serves you and your family best. Some will want them out and others can’t handle kitchen clutter and many somewhere in-between. If you want to SEE your vitamins but don’t want the kitchen counter clutter, try using your vertical space and storing them on a wall. If you’re lacking vertical space and your kitchen counters are the best option, try stashing your vitamins and supplements inside a pretty bread box. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/818cd6bb-9f44-47c4-bb3a-65b0d4159bf0/Screen+Shot+2022-02-10+at+10.10.44+AM.png Blog - Interior Design Trends for 2022, My One Skillet Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken And Rice and MakeYour Vitamins Look Good On Your Kitchen Counter. - Decant Into Air Tight Jars You could decant them and display them like you would your spices.

Guests love to pick it up and delve into their own sign and that of those around them. It’s snarky and provocative and worth a look. “In sophisticated, uninhibited language, Sextrology candidly explores each sign of the zodiac, male and female, through a unique, wholly original astro-sexual philosophy. In this highly entertaining and illuminating romp from inside the head to inside the jeans, the authors uncover the naked truth behind each of the 24 gender signs. With nary a trace of new age mumbo jumbo, they explore each sign’s personal psychology, physical attributes, and sexual behavior in titillating detail—straight, gay, and beyond. From fantasies to favorite positions, erogenous zones to emotional needs, Sextrology will help you better understand your and others’ sexual character, improve your understanding of relationships, and find out what to expect from a new person in your life. No stone is left unturned in this intelligent and enlightening investigation of sex and the sexes.” It’s a fun read, and it’s red and could make you blush, so here it is in this Valentine’s Day blog. You are welcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/17e9e5ea-e89c-4a14-a4bf-86c8e33452d6/jen%27s+cookies+baked.jpg Blog - Valentine’s day gift board, a book for lovers, and my GF oatmeal breakfast cookies. ❤️ - My Yummy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies GF oats, fresh fruit and protein powder make these flavorful cookies a delicious start to your day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/82794c8f-b916-4dbb-b33f-21defd858ee2/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Valentine’s day gift board, a book for lovers, and my GF oatmeal breakfast cookies. ❤️ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/the-home-decor-trend-that-is-sticking-around-my-favorite-hat-diy-calming-lavender-pillow-spray-8-area-rug-dos-donts-color-code-your-closet monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/8f91d28d-54b5-4b06-81b5-3c663dae1968/Screen+Shot+2022-01-18+at+3.22.19+PM.png Blog - The home decor trend that is sticking around, my favorite hat, DIY calming lavender pillow spray, 8 area rug do’s & don’ts, color-code your closet. - Make it stand out Image Credit: Justina Blakeney https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/8b101799-18dd-40d5-a1a8-345445096e35/Screen+Shot+2022-01-18+at+3.24.29+PM.png Blog - The home decor trend that is sticking around, my favorite hat, DIY calming lavender pillow spray, 8 area rug do’s & don’ts, color-code your closet. - Caitlin Sofa The Caitlin sofa comes in 10+ colorways and even some sectional options.

It’s likely you have all things you need already in your home. This aromatic spray will calm your senses and help you drift off to dreamland leaving the stressors of your day behind you. It makes a great gift or a bedside treat for your guests. Things You’ll Need: Small glass spray bottle Dried Lavender (optional) Witch Hazel or Vodka Lavender essential oil Chamomile essential oil Distilled water Add two sprigs of lavender gently to your spray bottle. Next, add 2 Tblsp witch hazel. This will help the oils mix with the water and prolong the life of your spray. Add 10 drops of chamomile and about 20-30 drops of lavender to the bottle. Finally, fill the bottle to the top with distilled water (tap water is more prone to mold and bacteria growth). Simply spray some of the mist onto your pillows and linens before bedtime, and enjoy the soothing scent as you drift off to sleep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/ae5305d1-3f2b-4dfe-84cc-946077ef1529/Screen+Shot+2022-01-20+at+11.35.33+AM.png Blog - The home decor trend that is sticking around, my favorite hat, DIY calming lavender pillow spray, 8 area rug do’s & don’ts, color-code your closet. - 8 Area Rug Do’s & Don’ts Do extend rugs under all the key pieces of furniture in the space. Don’t skimp on size. I know it costs more but it will save you money in the future, plus it’s still cheaper than wall to wall carpet. Do cover high traffic areas. Don’t go too small in the bedroom. Ideally, the rug should be large enough to extend beyond the sides of the bed at least 12 inches for a twin or double bed, and at least 18 inches for a queen or king. You can go bigger, but these numbers should be the minimums you want to look for. Do leave equal space. Give yourself anywhere from about eight to 24 inches on all sides. Eighteen inches is the most common space, but in a smaller space, you can get away with as little as eight inches. The main goal is to have the rug centered in the room. Don’t be afraid of color and pattern. Do know how to clean it. Sisal, jute, and other natural fiber rugs are inexpensive, but they can't be cleaned so you might have to replace them if there's a big spill. Don’t put your best rugs in danger. Keep this in mind, especially if you have children and pets. You can't always control what your family does over the rug, so it may be best to go with inexpensive, easy-to-clean options in the more hazardous areas of your home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/eaa5cef2-8034-4595-b240-9e2f41859bdd/color+code.jpg Blog - The home decor trend that is sticking around, my favorite hat, DIY calming lavender pillow spray, 8 area rug do’s & don’ts, color-code your closet. - Color Code Your Closet It’s the new year and hopefully, you’ve already cleaned out your closet and donated a large sack of clothing to your local second-hand store. This is perfect because now you can color-code your closet in just an hour or so. My daughter Amanda does mine when she visits and I must admit, even for an organizer it took me some time to adjust. Old habits die hard, ya know? The acronym stands for all the colors in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) and it can help you to organize clothes in your closet by color and make them visually appealing. You also can color-code your books, craft supplies, and any other category of items that has multiple colors. Give it a try and enjoy walking into a color-coded closet, it is truly the best. Start by removing all the clothes from your closet, or if your closet is large you can do this in sections. Make sure your hangers are cohesive. I use a mix of all wood hangers and some felt hangers for the slippery items. Start at the left with white and move through the rainbow, finishing with black items. Within each section take the lightest shade of each color and move darker to the right. For example, you may have several shades of beige, start with the lightest and move right. Also, within each section, you should try to organize short sleeves to long sleeves moving right. The big dilemma for people like Amanda and myself is where do the grey’s go? You know we are obsessed when we could discuss this for more than 30 minutes! Greys with whites? Or grey’s with black? Or light grey with white and dark grey with black? Just find a spot that works for you, you’ve got this! ⚡️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/30063eac-faa8-4ee1-b1c5-0651dbc95dbe/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - The home decor trend that is sticking around, my favorite hat, DIY calming lavender pillow spray, 8 area rug do’s & don’ts, color-code your closet. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/kitchen-organizing-2022-easy-creamy-vegan-tomato-soup-diy-terracotta-pinch-bowls-and-more monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/0c30b969-9467-4bfc-8342-4d77aece58ef/New+Year.png+1.png Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/e43d020b-92c4-4df6-9fe0-7995acc369ef/olive+and+june.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Olive & June I might be the only girl who hates getting a mani/pedi! I don’t actually hate the process but I hate that it takes so much time and I can’t multi-task while it’s happening. So, yeah, maybe my self-care game needs some help but anyhow…. I recently received the Olive & June Mani System and I must say it’s pretty fabulous. It came with the full mani set and I chose the Winter Collection polishes. There are a few things in the kit that were game changers for me and up’d the old way of painting your nails at home. I forgot how fun the little polish remover pot is and the cuticle serum is pretty awesome and I love that they give you a brush to clean the polish of your cuticle, but the thing that I love most is “The Poppy”. It’s a little pink flat top that slides on the polish bottle and makes control of the paint so much easier, especially on your non-dominant hand. My mani lasts just as long as my salon service and with a twice a month mani and pedi I’m saving more than $100 a month. This means I can now buy home decor which is what I really want! :) Shop it here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/6aba2cd8-9dc1-4238-8d47-84d2f2d86945/tomato+soup.jpg Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Easy Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup My daughter’s and I love sharing new recipes with each other when we make something we think is worth a re-make. Amanda shared this recipe with me last week and it’s an easy one but oooo so yummy and hits the spot on those cold winter days. The key to the in-depth flavor is the slow caramelization of the onions. I served mine over some ravioli, Amanda did tortellini, but you can also just enjoy it straight up, it keeps well and makes for a great next-day lunch. You can print the recipe from the ambitious kitchen here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/ba0ed6cb-d4bc-42bf-bea8-dd6e6ba1ae40/IMG_6686.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Clay Pinch Bowls When I started this project I wanted to use my white clay and some gold paint. Turns out my white clay was dried up so I used the terracotta clay I had on hand. The terracotta works well here in the desert but I think the white would be beautiful just about anywhere.

I used my small one for jewelry on my nightstand, and she is so cute. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/ebb537ac-98c0-446c-a7de-816adfa74a9e/Clay+Pinch+Bowl.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - What You’ll Need: Modeling clay or air dry clay in the color of your choice I got mine here.

Roll the clay into a ball with your hands.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1d680658-f5b5-46c8-9dfa-ccc3b7d8ac92/bowl+3.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Step 2: Roll the ball out on a piece of parchment with a rolling pin until it’s approximately 1/8 in thick or however thick you’d like your bowl to be. Remember this is your bowl, there are no rules. we are having fun, right? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/beaffc2b-d864-44b0-b202-72097821d721/bowl+4.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Step 3: Next, place the clay over the bowl letting it naturally fall into shape. Make sure your bowl is smooth with no pattern or your clay will pick up the pattern marks. I wanted a very natural, not perfected look. I pinched the sides in a few places until I liked the look. Use larger pieces for larger bowls, you’ll have an idea of what each size needs after you make your first one. Once you like the shape, gently remove the bowl from the clay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/fbd56ef0-ebf5-4b0c-be7a-bc76306a2d91/bowl+5.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Step 4: Once all your bowls are made let them dry for 2 days. I placed mine in a sunny spot, occasionally turning them and eventually flipping them over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/8bafb033-a60c-4b76-af4d-aecccb3848d8/IMG_6684.JPG Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Step 5: I wanted to play around with some paint so I tried using some white craft paint to lightly paint the edges. I love how in some light they look like leather. Boom, you did it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/abf6c70e-6742-4625-99f0-af8fce5f9820/Screen+Shot+2022-01-05+at+3.39.22+PM.png Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Target’s Launch Of Container Store Dupes This week Target announced the release of their new brand Brightroom. The Brightroom storage brand features a range of containers and organizers including shelving units, plastic tubs and totes, storage baskets, closet organizers, and more. At launch, the brand will have more than 450 items, with most under $25 and a few as low as $1. "We know the new year brings opportunities for new beginnings, including an eagerness to organize our homes for the year ahead. To help our guests do just that, we're excited to introduce Brightroom, Target's first dedicated storage and home organization owned brand," says Samara Tuchband, Target's senior vice president of merchandising for home. "Brightroom is all about helping guests easily organize their homes with hundreds of well-designed and functional pieces—all at an incredible value." This is super exciting for me as an organizer but also for you as a consumer since we typically use The Container Store for our projects this will reduce the cost for clients because sometimes the products cost more than our service. It’s a win-win! If you haven’t seen it in your Target store yet, keep your eyes out for the rollout near you in March. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/75388ed8-e0bd-403a-8220-6a66f019ed71/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Kitchen organizing 2022, easy creamy vegan tomato soup, DIY terracotta pinch bowls, and more. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/its-a-roundup-of-all-of-your-most-read-posts-of-2020-what-you-loved-tried-and-didnt-stop-reading monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/179154aa-3320-453c-8953-888d191c565a/pop+fizz+clink.jpg Blog - It’s a roundup of all of your most-read posts of 2021.

No two dishes are alike, the casual way of loving imperfect items is quickly catching on. What if we could celebrate age with character even among the things we touch daily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/9d19306e-a535-45af-af54-a18c1ce30da4/matcha+blog.jpg Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Feel Good Moments Feel good moments should happen often in your home even if it’s just you. That first sip of your matcha tea in a hand-thrown mug, the ritual of making your morning coffee, the way the sheets feel when you slip into bed, and the blankets you wrap yourself in beside the fire at night. Choose natural pottery, handmade blankets and linen or bamboo sheets. Be aware when you shop to buy artisan items from local shops and create stories with your loved one’s while using them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/8394e71b-905e-4377-b4d5-83cb244aabc8/sage.jpg Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Scent Scent has a way of leaving its mark on our memories. Think of all the places you’ve travelled to and what those scents remind you of. Make scent a natural part of your home by burning things like sage, palo santo (my favorite) and hanging lavender bunches in your shower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/ff6993ef-8498-49f3-8876-820b26cb5958/blanket+basket.jpg Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Textiles Every time you move through your home you are touching textiles. The rugs, the blankets, the sheets, the towels. Textiles add warmth and create sound absorbency as well. We typically think of textiles as pretty things like pillows but textiles are almost everywhere in your home. When you purchase natural textiles they tend to live longer and stand the test of daily use, each time making them look better and storied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/428c85f4-05f6-44d5-8e74-a83f32ea69ae/outdoors+in.jpg Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Plants Bringing plants into your home has its health benefits but also adds so much character. Choose plants that are local to your area for best results. Choosing planters that are made of clay, ceramic and stone add texture and interest, and even when they chip or crack they improve in appearance in most instances, and some things with character balance out any new or modern aesthetics you may have in your home already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/2d10d104-a5fc-4cee-a8e5-7f0f04a92d14/record+player.jpg Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Sounds We almost always have some type of sound in our house, whether it be music, Dave singing, the pool waterfall in the background, or even when sleeping we play waves crashing on the beach, these things really can be soothing when done right. Gone are the days of kids running through the house and the wild childlike chatter I craved when they were small. If you use a turntable, a Sonos, or another type of streaming device, sounds play a big role in what we later revisit in our memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/16826e83-140d-4437-b0cb-2733bffb0b33/Screen+Shot+2021-12-06+at+5.10.41+PM.png Blog - Creating a home that touches all your senses, Private Lyfe gift cards, my frosted mistletoe marg, a DIY peppermint body scrub + more… - Did You Know You Can Purchase Gift Cards For Yourself Or Family & Friends For the Holidays?

They are easy, don’t require a lot and they are especially beautiful at night with all the little twinkling lights. The faux snow I purchased at Pottery Barn years ago. I use it again and again storing it in a large container for the next year. It’s also beautiful on trays with the copper lights and holiday decor! Here’s What You Need: Glass container Faux Snow Copper lights run by battery 3-6 large ornaments A handful of small antique ornaments. (I got mine at Pottery Barn years ago) Start with a clean glass container. I use apothecary jars, bowls, and vases. Fill the bottom with faux snow like this. Then layer in your copper string lights and make sure the battery pack is facing the wall or tuck it inside but make it easy to turn it on. Next, layer in the larger bulbs and finally sprinkle in the smaller ornaments. Trust me, these give you all the holiday feels, especially at night! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/45dad9d0-5f2d-493c-8f6b-eff16b2eedd8/kitchen+blog.jpg Blog - 6 Ways You Can Make A Difference For Those With Food Insecurity, My $1 Paper Snowflake DIY, A Yummy Cranberry Chutney, And More! - 5 Things That Make Your Kitchen Counters Look Cluttered Rarely used kitchen appliances: Stash those away. If you don’t use it every day it needs to be re-located. Food: Cannisters are fine but limit them to just a few, otherwise relocate your food items to a drawer or pantry space for a lighter-looking kitchen. Knife Block or Bread Box: These can take up a lot of space on your counter. If you have a small space consider a magnetic wall strip to store your knives or a bamboo knife system for your drawer, and add a bin to a drawer for bread. Cleaning Supplies: There is no good reason to have cleaning supplies on your counters unless it’s pretty dish soap, otherwise it all should be organized under your sink, ASAP. Random Junk: Create a catchall system with a bin or basket so you can sort and put away items before they become a full-blown junk pile or drawer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/b2f7c44e-cd3a-43ba-8136-7bb775c46c4a/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - 6 Ways You Can Make A Difference For Those With Food Insecurity, My $1 Paper Snowflake DIY, A Yummy Cranberry Chutney, And More! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/u3yfjoic5b9ausy4hpp924igpamy5y monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/2b622067-8ab3-49ec-bdf1-d2a4effcdb54/Screen+Shot+2021-11-09+at+2.43.10+PM.png Blog - 10 Best Modular Sofas You Can Buy Online, Holiday Mood Board, My Brussel Sprouts in Balsamic Reduction, My Gorgeous Citrus Garland DIY, Designing With Neutrals + More. - Make it stand out Image Credit: @albanyparkhome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/db93a72b-7b50-49ff-839a-f339e428c39d/Screen+Shot+2021-11-08+at+1.37.34+PM.png Blog - 10 Best Modular Sofas You Can Buy Online, Holiday Mood Board, My Brussel Sprouts in Balsamic Reduction, My Gorgeous Citrus Garland DIY, Designing With Neutrals + More. - Rove Concept Porter Modular Sectional $3479 I love this sofa for its clean lines and geometric-shaped armrests.

It’s crispy, healthy, garlicky, and the cheese and cherries really bump up the balsamic flavor, it really is special.

Last week I had this huge urge to make citrus garlands for this year’s holiday decor. The great part is you can get started now and use them for both Thanksgiving and Christmas! I started with 1 5lb. bag of oranges and I already know I’ll be back for 2 more as I plan to use them throughout my decor, and if you dry them properly they will last year after year. Slice your oranges into 1/4” slices and layout on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or even better a cookie sheet with a cooling rack set inside. Set your oven to 175 degrees and load up the oven and set your timer for 5 hours. The key is low and slow. Since all ovens are different I would check them periodically, mine took closer to 6 hours. It’s okay if some get darker, the òmbre effect is still pretty but try not to burn them too much as you want that bright vibrant hue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/d1e68c3e-11df-4108-a493-b2fb3f600244/Citrus+what+you%27ll+need.JPG Blog - 10 Best Modular Sofas You Can Buy Online, Holiday Mood Board, My Brussel Sprouts in Balsamic Reduction, My Gorgeous Citrus Garland DIY, Designing With Neutrals + More. - What You’ll Need: 5-10lbs of navel oranges 4oz. bay leaves (I bought mine here) 15mm & 20mm wooden beads (I bought this bag) waxed cotton thread or strong cotton thread cotton tassels ( I made mine using embroidery floss, see how here in a previous blog.) embroidery needle scissors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/034d59d3-65a7-4ea4-a8cf-7576a16df568/Screen+Shot+2021-11-08+at+3.01.47+PM.png Blog - 10 Best Modular Sofas You Can Buy Online, Holiday Mood Board, My Brussel Sprouts in Balsamic Reduction, My Gorgeous Citrus Garland DIY, Designing With Neutrals + More. - Designing With Neutrals Achieving balance in your interior is easy with a neutral color palette. But, there are a few rules to keep it looking its best. I think when you are using a neutral color palette, which by the way is my favorite, is to make sure you have incorporated lots of texture. I like to layer them in with woods, chunky knits, linens, plants and don’t forget to bring some nature inside. You can still use pattern in your textiles but look for things like natural patterns, and organic shapes. Ceramic, stone, and leather can also bring in texture and interest. Neutrals don’t have to be all beige. Bring in tones of taupe, muted greens, chocolate browns, and muted colors from outdoors. I love using clay colors in our home as they lead straight outdoors to the desert. As a general rule, however, neutral color ideas tend to be calming and easy to decorate with – they work with pretty much every other color but to get it right it’s important to understand the base pigment that suits the light that a room receives. 'The light in a room is a key consideration when thinking about whether to choose warm or cool tones,' There is a difference between a warm neutral (with a green or yellow undertone) which will tend to work well in north-facing rooms as they help to bounce the light around and a cool one (with a bit of pink, violet, or blue). Have fun with it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1c91ffd3-4457-4871-90ce-86065251fc8e/holiday.jpg Blog - 10 Best Modular Sofas You Can Buy Online, Holiday Mood Board, My Brussel Sprouts in Balsamic Reduction, My Gorgeous Citrus Garland DIY, Designing With Neutrals + More. - Holiday’s Are Kind Of My Thing… It’s that time of year folks, and who doesn’t love it?

Think of sherpa, chunky knits, unfinished woods, natural lighting and some vintage touches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/5eb6051a-1798-410d-a864-da55574b4aca/hygge+7.jpg Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - Incorporate Vintage Touches Flea markets and thrifter’s rejoice! Ancestry and nostalgia are both important parts of the hygge life, which means vintage pieces or personal touches are crucial to making a home feel as warm and welcoming as possible. In fact, household objects, furniture, and decor should be more than just things that look nice and show off our style; they should also hold emotional value or tell a story that is personal to the owner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/8666ebfc-bb36-43bf-8eec-62ec5a5f2373/hygge+8.jpg Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - Keep It Simple Keep it simple, remember the hygge life is about ease, contentment and comfort.

This 100% plant based lasagna was so satisfying and the flavor was so good! It was really easily to assemble, Dave gave it 5 ⭐️’s. I found this recipe at my favorite go to, The Minimalist Baker. Her recipes never disappoint. I have linked it here for you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/45cca898-798a-4fda-b12f-a555eeb327ce/IMG_5594+2.JPG Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - The Prep Just because something is plant based doesn’t mean it shouldn’t ignite your tastebuds and make you swoon. Roasting the squash with lots of garlic really added some flavor to this dish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/02267aba-4ff7-4016-bb4f-544dd2c17a7e/IMG_5598.jpg Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - The Filling When I think of lasagna I usually think of all the labor I put into my tomato sauce and then after I have created that I assemble the lasagna and it can feel like it takes all -day. Not with this plant based version, the filling is kale, mushroom, and onion and oh so yummy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/b3ae9291-780e-4988-a839-bd6d4bd88b8b/IMG_5593+2.JPG Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - The Details When you’re gluten-free it really is all in the details. I have tried all, and I really mean ALL of the different GF options out there over the years and not all of them taste like the pasta’s I used to eat. The GF lasagna noodles from Barilla have been my go-to for awhile until I discovered these almond flour lasagna sheets at Sprouts! No boiling, fresh pasta that tastes just like the real thing, wait, aren’t these what we should call the real thing with ingredients we can pronounce? Hmmm? I hope you try this one and enjoy feeling great after such a decadent meal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/3308c07f-4f1b-4bbc-857b-842ff3e1d79d/New+coffee+table.JPG Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - I Got A New Coffee Table! I have been on the hunt for a new coffee table for more than a year now, and I finally found her at West Elm. We have been using a large ottoman as a coffee table for more than 10 years now, so I feel like we deserved it. But, you know what happens when you get a new coffee table? You also need a new rug, some new pillows and possibly 2 new unbleached linen slipcovers and maybe some new items to style said coffee table. Yep, that happened. I did some stacked books with desert vibes, some fresh fronds from my huge monstera, a large air plant, and over-sized casa beads. I added the terracotta coasters from World Market and a terracotta candle form Target to pull in my new terracotta tv nook. Styling when you live in the desert is so much fun! Reveal coming soon, once my last slip cover arrives…. ‍♀️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/a7fe137c-24c1-4a4f-8183-67a819ebe066/Organized.jpg Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - Wrap It Up! I recently relocated a clients wrapping and gifts from an extra closet to her office. I love using The Home Edit’s all purpose bins filled with the smaller bins to keep “like with like” and creating an organized gift center with all you need to prepare for last minute giving! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/9b6a8b52-6fcc-45bd-bd51-400dcaa3eb44/Holiday+Living+Room.png Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/863e6573-dec6-4c67-9f25-cdc03743b6dd/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - 10 ways to hygge your home, my Amazon Thanksgiving finds, a yummy butternut squash lasagna recipe, my new coffee table and more… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/ji2ppf1kx0tgffrxqws6pwskj7qhlp monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/356e0cad-5017-4712-8fbf-173d013fc16c/Screen+Shot+2021-10-20+at+4.33.43+PM.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - Make it stand out Image Credit: Pottery Barn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/860026c5-9388-49a6-8c45-925fc47ad14f/1.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - Signage This is a trend that has been around for some time, signage. This signage gives you little reminders around your home that tell you where you are (home), or what to do (laundry), where it’s located (the beach). You can find them everywhere and I think it’s safe to say it’s overly saturated. There are so many other beautiful options, like art that inspires you, stop into Home Goods and pick up some accessories to fill spaces where your signage currently lives. Sculptures, vases, tchotchkes, anything, but it’s time that signage goes. Do you like landscapes, abstracts? Hit up Pottery Barn, West Elm, CB2 or Target there are so many options to elevate your decor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/59140a13-27a1-465e-bed6-d48b5811e303/2.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 2. The Tuscan Look Oh, you might have to hold me back here. Do you get the same Macaroni Grill vibe that I’m getting? The heavy furniture like cabinets with red undertones, the ornate iron, and often the faux painting and red walls just doesn’t really transport me to anything I like to think of when I think of Tuscany. Times have changed and if you really must have a Tuscan home we now have access to authentic tile, stones and materials that can transport you to a really beautiful European farmhouse look that actually looks like Tuscany. Lighter muted tones and natural elements can really transform your space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/e19bbef4-6e3c-40a5-8a54-e8efdc9c6297/Tuscan+In+the+90%27s.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 3. Color Palette Do you remember the hunter-green, burgundy trend that hit around the late eighties and into the 90’s? Maybe paired up with a floral wallpaper border? These colors are still doable but in a more modern way, with subtle pops of color. Maybe a deep green wall or sofa. Heavy golds and dark woods have been replaced with lighter woods, and more natural color palettes, softening and lightening up a room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/70f524ab-ef1b-48cb-90f0-64c148839ba0/4.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 4. High-Gloss Floors In the 90’s we were high glossing the hardwoods but nowadays no one is doing this. You definitely want a matte polyurethane top coat. The trend now is to refinish without the gloss and many are removing the honey colors as well. On trend flooring is natural and not shiny. Go with blonde or walnut finishes, they are beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/3c4a271c-284c-4f9d-ab0e-aa6405019e5b/5.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 5. Raised Counter Height Bars Or Multi Level Bars The multi level bar. This is the most often removed item during a kitchen remodel. Having the actual counter span to the stools is better for almost everything. The raised bar blocks views, makes serving harder and creates a less streamlined look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/6145e18e-1bc1-43d2-8df7-6531ad4c9aeb/6.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 6. Heavy Drapes This example may be dramatic but even in a traditional world no one is really doing this anymore. Lighten up the drapes, let the light in. The best part is it’s the easiest thing to fix, just take them down. The drapery world has come a long way and there are so many simple, clean and gorgeous options now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/a2e91998-ee50-4402-9c33-18f2ed7b52e8/7.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 7. Frosted Or Colored Glass Globes on Pendants Frosted or color glass lighting. What were we doing back then? We were living in orange and red and blue light to match our red walls and, well excuse me I feel nauseous. Time to swap those out and the gorgeous options are endless. Depending on your fixture you can unscrew it from the pendant and simply change out the globe or replace the entire fixture. This noticeably dates your space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/4211b5f6-0bae-4a1c-b5e6-217188fa4cb2/9.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 8. Ornate Dark Wood With Scroll Iron The scroll iron is gone, if you have it in your home still it’s time to donate now! Do you remember the time we were all into Southern Living? There are so many affordable options and this is a quick and easy swap that will instantly update your space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/73464cbb-7b58-472d-8d70-d94668b3a2f6/8.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 9. Bed In A Bag I understand that bed in a bag was intended to solve a problem for some but it’s just too matchy matchy and you can do better. Even if you do have a bed in the bag, you could easily swap out a few pieces such as pillows to create something inviting that also is a bit more creative and less like a Sears ad. If it came with a dust ruffle too well let’s just say it’s time to update! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/d6c0e93b-cd90-4371-8706-e00bef577791/10.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - 10. Themed Decor Curtain rods made from oars, lamps that look like fishing gear, faux bricks, you get the idea right? Steering clear of theme items goes a long long way. The whole theme vibe was a creative moment in time where we took regular items and used them to style our homes in interesting ways but that time is over and it’s time for some new updated items. I think now we are un-decorating more than ever before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/7d8365b7-392a-4a27-a2b2-9c9c0f303dd1/Amazon+Finds.png Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - It’s Fall & The Fall Decor Is Out Everywhere It’s hard to ignore all the fall decor that is available everywhere right now.

Well, Moon Milk is nothing new, besides being trendy it is full of nutritional additives that prepare your body and mind for sleep. For example, according to Ayurvedic tradition, warm milk at night is beneficial for balancing pitta and vata doshas, helping to calm the nerves and soothe an overworked mind. There are dozens of variations of moon milk, depending on the specific ingredients that are used, although most are spin-offs of turmeric milk tea. Take a look on Instagram and you’ll find more than 5,000+ drinks tagged as #moonmilk, including an array of bright yellow, purple, blue, and pink variations. Plant-based milks can be substituted for regular milk if you want to make vegan moon milk, or if you’re lactose intolerant or just choose to avoid dairy, I love oat milk. Ingredients commonly found in moon milk: spices like turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and cardamom ghee or coconut oil adaptogen herbs such as ashwagandha, astragalus and ginseng raw honey superfoods like tart cherry juice, acai powder or spirulina pumpkin or squash puree nuts such as almonds and pistachios edible flowers including dried rose petals, chamomile or lavender (you can also tea) magnesium powder (an essential mineral that can reduce muscle tension and help you to feel relaxed) L-theanine, an amino acid that’s considered a nootropic that has calming effects Moon milk not only can help you with sleep but also anxiety and inflammation. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory effects, and when you add in adaptogens they also reduce stress and feelings of anxiety. So maybe your mother was on to something, milk at night really does settle us into a good night’s sleep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633990020943-QDOB2O61ONEDGDLCQ09U/IMG_5354.JPG Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - Fall Porch Decor We recently did a simple porch design with Fall decor for one of our favorite clients. On this porch, although the entry area is on the bigger side the lead up to the door did limit doing anything over the top. We kept it simple with a few pops of fall color and some yummy green pumpkins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633990060842-88NSRLP9FM7QFRSEZWO8/IMG_5351.jpg Blog - 10 Things that are dating your home, my moon milk recipe, fall Amazon finds, how we make our hand-chalked signs, and more… - The Little Details Who isn’t in love with the green pumpkins this year?

After receiving the keys to the tired 80s motel in May of last year, the pair completed whirlwind renovations in just six months – being careful to balance the original vintage vibe, with some slick contemporary tweaks.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633639956669-RKDGLGBHNP02TGEJUZ4A/Screen+Shot+2021-10-07+at+1.52.13+PM.png Blog - A Byron Bay Revitalized Hotel, My Raspberry Date Chia Pudding, Creating Vignettes, and More. “The pair decided to keep the structure relatively intact, retaining the twelve-roomed main building and six freestanding weatherboard cabins, and focusing their energies on revitalizing the interiors. Drawing on references spanning from Flamingo Estate in Los Angeles and beach huts in the northern end of Ibiza – Jess and Dave wanted to capture the essence of a casual holiday destination, in a jaw-dropping location. In this spirit, a light-grey Spanish render gives the walls a cool Californian feel, while the original plaster ceilings were knocked out to reveal soaring timber trusses above. The pair salvaged, re-used, and repurposed elements of the original finishes as they went, being careful to minimize waste, and avoid losing too much character. Seeing as it’s Byron, the outdoor spaces are just as good as in! Beside the pool (re-poured with red concrete), the cabana and poolside bar create a tropical-inspired oasis. And while we’re on the topic of showstopping features, each room in the main building contains a crystal-adorned terrazzo benchtop, made by Five Mile Radius using waste concrete! Let’s be Hoteliers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633637323510-AACIY1ZCS04BE7VRA02V/Screen+Shot+2021-10-07+at+1.08.08+PM.png Blog - A Byron Bay Revitalized Hotel, My Raspberry Date Chia Pudding, Creating Vignettes, and More. - Ruggable I might be a little late to this party but I’m in love with my Ruggable kitchen runner. It wipes up so well with the little spills and washes so easily for regular cleaning. The top easily removes from the base and pops right into the washer. I can’t recommend this enough. Great for families and pets and high traffic areas. I’m in love.

If a full room makeover isn’t an option consider creating some vignettes throughout your home. A vignette is a small arrangement of objects, including furniture that reflects the person or persons who live in the home. I love using vignettes to showcase sentimental items without it making an overwhelming statement. Vignettes often tell a story and can be the small intimate moments that create interest, character, and uniqueness. As a stylist I can tell you we obsess, you may create a vignette that changes, moves, or grows as you perfect it. The photos here should give you some examples of what a small vignette looks like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633629174376-1C6T3Q1FPMZABZA1BML0/IMG_5566.jpg Blog - A Byron Bay Revitalized Hotel, My Raspberry Date Chia Pudding, Creating Vignettes, and More. - Organization vs. Minimalism It’s okay to own things. Say it out loud so everyone can hear you. It’s okay to own things. Organization can be confused with Minimalism but they are actually much different. Minimalism is a design style and lifestyle choice. A conscious decision to inherently own fewer things, a thoughtful way of considering each item you purchase. Being organized means an orderly and efficient arrangement of things and tasks. We won’t even get into Maximalism today but it’s a thing and if done right it can be quite amazing. . You can own plenty of things and keep them organized, plus we don’t want to throw out everything you own to only have to repurchase those items you really needed. Finding appropriate solutions for the things you already own and donating the things that no longer serve you is just what we love to do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633631761945-I9V1G6FSVCYFEVJZWCGL/Dining+Room+%281%29.png+2.png Blog - A Byron Bay Revitalized Hotel, My Raspberry Date Chia Pudding, Creating Vignettes, and More. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633369178680-DKWQ8IB6DHITUP7XAUAC/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - A Byron Bay Revitalized Hotel, My Raspberry Date Chia Pudding, Creating Vignettes, and More. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/cjoujcf6q1cc0yi3wliw6npm9zcpye monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632877657899-SQLOWWFIW3IMP1WGTFEP/haute-stock-photography-green-holiday-collection-final-9.jpg Blog - It’s not too early to start planning for Christmas, My amazing butternut squash soup, my Fall tablescape and more… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632955671353-5OU2RIYHZWI2ZOP3BCK9/smeg+3.jpg Blog - It’s not too early to start planning for Christmas, My amazing butternut squash soup, my Fall tablescape and more… - SMEG Isn’t she pretty?

My daughter Amanda originally made this soup and raved about this Tik-Tok recipe. Of course, I wanted to elevate its presentation, and boy it didn’t disappoint! I did buy pre-cut butternut squash to make my life a little easier and added the steamed broccolini and olive oil drizzle with pepitas and I was so glad I did. Dave gave this one 5 ⭐️’s and had seconds, maybe thirds too? It does have a little kick to it so if you are wary of heat make sure you tread a little lighter with the spice mix. I don’t love too much heat and I was fine, just a heads up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1633035210396-LV2VQP9KJBKKNW4A6PER/soup+ingredients.jpg Blog - It’s not too early to start planning for Christmas, My amazing butternut squash soup, my Fall tablescape and more… - Ingredients This recipe is plant-based and so satisfying. I picked up all my ingredients at Sprouts and it wasn’t a labor-intensive recipe which is always nice on a week night.

I know, I said that above, but it’s true! Like I’ve said too many times before, I really love pumpkin season because you can easily create so many different tablescapes from Halloween through Turkey day. We do tablescapes locally for events so it was fun to get our creative juices flowing. I love to mix in a few unusual pumpkins, the lumpy, and green ones too, they add character and texture! I used some wooden cake plates to create some height, added in a eucalyptus garland down the center, some dried flowers in a vase and, some fresh sunflowers to create dimension and interest. I love the golden pops of color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632952704443-DQOA6ILGKBUXI32KARGY/tablescape3+.jpg Blog - It’s not too early to start planning for Christmas, My amazing butternut squash soup, my Fall tablescape and more… - Take A Walk That’s right, take a walk around your entire table, you want to make sure that it looks balanced and pretty from every angle not just when you enter the room.

Well, let’s not forget your trunk especially if you’re a young mom or on the go often. While getting organized think of the items you most use and need while out. I suggest getting either a collapsible basket like this one or find one around the house like I did, and pack it up with items you need, such as: Paper towels, Handy wipes/diaper wipes Extra pair of shoes Bottled water Umbrella Notepad & pen Kid’s car games If you want to go big here are a few more items you could consider: Blanket Snacks that will hold up stored in your car Sunscreen Yoga mat Hat Hairbrush Extra chargers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632953774802-4OZSL1SU93VOWCW59UQ2/Sofa+Options+from+PL+Shop.png Blog -

Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - OWL (One Whole Life) 4 Day Reset I don’t talk publicly much about my Hashimoto diagnosis, not because I don’t want to but just because nobody really wants hear about other people’s ailments, but just in case this could help you here we go. Six years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. I had been feeling off for quite awhile and noticed skin changes, weight gain, loss of my period, joint pain, brain fog, hair loss, including eyebrows, and total exhaustion, I was only 46 so I wasn’t ready to feel like this yet. I was a home stager then and my work was very physical. I saw a Seattle naturopath and my blood work was sort of shocking. My regular western medicine doctor did blood work too and said I was fine, clearly that wasn’t the case. Unmanaged Hashi can develop into scary things like MS and that was enough for me to follow her every instruction which included diet changes like no dairy, gluten, or soy. I had been vegan so that part didn’t really scare me, feeling better was my motivation. Fairly rapidly I began to look like myself again but if I don’t stay on target I can easily have flair ups like joint pain and brain fog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632262657525-HM2WUO38P248K5I8CFAT/owl+venice.JPG Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - How It Went & How It’s Going… So Covid happened and like many of us we gained the Covid 8, and I started feeling off again. I had reached full remission prior to Covid so I wanted to get back on track. Enter OWL. I loved this reset for so many reasons. It was nourishing and I felt full every day. Did I miss chewing food? ABSOLUTELY! It was only 4 days though and it wasn’t hard at all. You can order yours online or pickup in the Venice area. It came with three jars of bone broths, you can choose vegan, chicken or beef and three mylkshake packets. You purchase 1 plantain, 1 kubock squash and 2 beets to blend into your mylkshakes. I started on a Monday and the Sunday before I steamed and prepped my veggies. Each day I had bone broth and a mylkshake for each meal. The hardest part for me was to remember to drink water too, there was a lot of drinking involved. :) I lost 6 pounds but that wasn’t the goal, just an added benefit. The OWL cleanse is a nutritionally sound reset that is plant based and each ingredient specifically chosen for whole health and to help strip your body of heavy metals, toxins and reset the gut, because that’s where all true health starts. My skin looks amazing, like really, I had and still have lots of new energy, I actually forgot what that was like, and a flat tummy. The mylkshakes were vibrant in color and I heated mine like soup for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this reset to anyone looking to cleanse their bodies in a nourishing way. If you’d like to check them out you can find your OWL here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632256780018-YN2UE69DI1A35788OJQ5/sweet+potato+blog.jpg Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - Sweet Potato Toasts This is my new favorite go-to! So pretty and so delicious! I used Kite Hill plant based ricotta but you can use traditional like the recipe calls for. You can also get creative and play around with ingredients that you have on hand. I added pepitas to mine because I like the crunch. This would be great as a side dish to a meat based meal or served with a salad and some steamed veggies. I also used two sweet potatoes and sliced and baked them and had some left over toasts that I dressed up for lunch the next day. Easy peasy and so good for you! Decadent, rich, full of flavor and pretty to boot! I’m telling you, try these! Dave gave this one 5 ⭐️’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632422981220-TYC1JK1SH0FXSA91GVFC/Style+Wheel.jpg Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - The Style Wheel If you struggle with knowing what your style is you can pick up a copy of Styled, by Emily Henderson. She is one of the best in the business and she’s funny too. Styling for me is the best part of any design project and pulls a room together so quickly. You may have just what you need in your home already, it just needs some tweaking. Or, maybe you keep picking up pieces while your out shopping but when you get home you realize they don’t work together. Take Emily’s style quiz, it’s entertaining and you might save yourself some time trying to figure out how to pull it all together. there are no rules, really, it’s just a feeling. “STYLISTS ARE LIKE KARAOKE SINGERS - THE LESS FORMAL TRAINING AND THE MORE GUTS THEY HAVE, THE BETTER.” -Emily Henderson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632421654799-4D3NWEQZL1PRUKK0AY69/before+2.JPG Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - Let’s See What It Takes BEFORE This family with three small kids in Seattle wanted to corral and organize several areas of their home. This example is from their kids playroom. We wanted to make it functional and try and add some aesthetics to the space to make it a little more inviting and a space the kids can get messy in. The goal for this room is a total remodel but for now the family didn’t want to wait to get organized while they wait for the kids to grow, so we took what we had and made it functional and when the kids are a bit older and they don’t have to worry about paint on the carpet the remodel can get underway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632421722264-JYKW87CG373IMMXZECAZ/play+room+after.JPG Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - AFTER With just some removable wallpaper and some organization systems in place it turned out well, and we donated so much! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1632421852214-7UT2E2K2E9ZBTZZFR4ON/begin.JPG Blog - Japandi Style, My OWL 4 day Reset, Sweet Potato Toasts, and more… - In The Beginning The start of any project can be a bit overwhelming as we empty all the cabinets and drawers, wipe them out and sort and pare down until we can’t see straight anymore.

Soooo, I guess you already know, this stuff is the bomb! Due to my autoimmune disease, Hashimotos, I have no tails on my brows and I have been filling them in for a long time now. BUT, no more, in just a week I have a full brow and fuller lashes for a really sweet price. Definitely worth a try at just $44! Find it here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631746933361-RC1J927LZTW95OIG8ANK/IMG_4909.JPG Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Blueberry Iced Matcha I recently started following Claire Spork on Instagram as her food photos are to die for and her healthy recipes don’t disappoint. You should check her out! Food can be beautiful and taste good, ya know? If you don’t want to make your own cashew milk I get it, but honestly you should. Anyway, you can also use a cartoned milk, like oat milk or almond, or whichever milk you desire. The cashew and oat are creamier giving you a very satisfying result. They are also my go to’s. Isn’t she pretty? She is also very refreshing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631746966516-TEWEIUJJ6J67WUKT0P8F/IMG_4956.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631831757505-E77G2Z1IHFI5YGN2MRWJ/IMG_5005.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Let’s Make It! Paper maché bowls are hot right now and you can see why. They have old world charm and they add texture and interest to any room and they are so easy to make! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631742374922-6F130MBIGBDCAHD7UE2C/IMG_4942.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Materials Needed: Paper Maché (click to order from Amazon) Mixing Bowl Plastic Wrap Bowl For The Mold Craft Paint & Paintbrush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631740614581-944VEXCNRMRXZPJFQ069/IMG_4918.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 1 Add paper maché pulp to a large mixing bowl, and then add water a little bit at a time. Mix them together, continuing to add water as needed, until you get a dough-like consistency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631740783605-HR50W7AHOX7AVDVYK0QM/IMG_4916.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 2 Cover the bowl you're using as a mold with plastic wrap. This will make it easier to remove the paper maché from the mold once it's dry. I used an old wooden salad bowl that had the shape I was going for, and will clearly go in the trash afterwards but, you are fine to use a bowl that isn’t garbage because it’s wrapped. Eww… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631740942877-FUOUKZ454AIE4FLC7MAB/IMG_4921.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 3 Press the paper maché dough around the entire mold, creating a layer that's about 1/2-inch thick. Smooth it out as you go, and seal any cracks or holes. I wish I had added a little more water to start but that’s okay, I just added some with wet hands to start smoothing out the texture. I did want a little texture so I didn’t smooth it completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631741907863-WBQHY8F2F77BAIPRL457/IMG_4925.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 4 Place a large handful of paper maché in the center bottom of the bowl and shape it to create a footed base. Make sure you smooth the edges into the bowl to create a seamless look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631741801505-94PON4CCHTT5PE7VVNBY/IMG_4938.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 5 Let the bowl dry for a day or two. It will lighten in both color and weight as it dries. If your bowl isn't drying as fast as you'd like, you can use a hair dryer to speed up the process. I set mine outside as it’s 108 here. Note: I think had my paper maché been a little wetter it would have a smoother texture. It’s pretty forgivable, but if I did one thing different it would be that. ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631830384319-KUF0M26NVABPZ9OQ5W4I/IMG_4975.JPG Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 6 Once the bowl is completely dry, gently wiggle and pull it to release it from the mold, I just flipped it over and pulled on the plastic wrap and it released easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631830431613-W9HSW50CPASSM9IGBNRQ/IMG_4995.JPG Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Step 7 You could leave the bowl as-is, or paint it any color you like. I painted it with a creamy hue that I had on hand for a more aged look, I also used some gardening dirt and threw it on the wet paint and then gently sponged it off, for a little aging effect. I also painted the inside a little more and tried to fill all the little gaps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631831991962-DKSWBACSS82Y05EBGTUS/IMG_5008.jpg Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - All done! All in all I’m pretty pleased with her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824287587-JENPIDB9F1Z9XS2D14E5/1.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824287781-OL2IZZYONY8P1YSNEPTR/2.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824290302-IL840CHBYR0AIGUYD0SC/3.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824293015-CIGLHTVYJQT9DOBENN6K/5.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824290341-BSG9FK8NGKBHXJ5YPN5H/4.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631824292789-XM4J7L4KN4S42JJWWBIC/6.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631743508891-S1WP0KNSQBG2QSPNRV1Q/Extra+Bedding+For+Guests.png Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - After We just did a few simple tweaks to this closet we did in a playroom last month. This particular closet already had these great Container Store drawer units but they weren’t being maximized. We hung up the rod, added the paper roll for easy use for the kiddos, hung her extra linens and used all the drawers for her party supplies, and gift wrap. We labeled the tops of each drawer of course. :) This closet cost her nothing in product and now it is accessible and easy to find the items she needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1631743030506-X2FDG8EM5J77HN97SLPS/Before+copy.JPG Blog - My Style Survey, Blueberry Iced Matcha, Met Gala looks if they were rooms, My DIY paper maché bowl and more. :) - Before You can see not all the drawers were being used, and some random items needed relocation, old bins and storage containers donated.

It has a cheerful brightness that will intensify when used in large areas, but it is always dignified and never garish. Babouche can be paired with Railings for a very modern but sumptuous effect.” Shop it.

School House White No. 291 “This is the lightest color in the group including Shadow White, Shaded White and Drop Cloth - each created to look like white when used in deep shade. Pared back, timeless and familiar without the cool undertones of the more contemporary neutral groups, this soft off white is reminiscent of the color used in old school houses.” Shop it.

Breakfast Room Green No. 81 “Breakfast Room Green is the most cheerful of all our greens, remaining lively in both bright sunlight or softer candlelight. Named after the usually east facing rooms designed for eating the first meal of the day, it is particularly beautiful in the dawn light. When used alone on both walls and woodwork it becomes incredibly striking.” Shop it.

Stone Blue No. 86 “This warm and timeless blue is named after the indigo pigment which was often imported in lumps in the 18th century. Stone Blue’s lively and saturated color can be used alongside warmer tones such as Pelt to create an inviting vintage look, or the cooler Mole's Breath for a cleaner, more contemporary feel. When contrasted with Dimpse woodwork, however, it feels both distinguished and familiar.” Shop it.

Incarnadine No. 248 Our richest crimson originally takes its name from Latin, but is now a much used term for crimsons and reds. Similar to the deep glossy red used by David Hicks at Barons Court in the 1970s, Incarnadine is unashamedly classic and glamorous. It can be used to sumptuous effect in halls when offset with Tanner’s Brown on woodwork, or feel more edgy and graphic when paired with a bright white. Shop it.

This one was really empowering, and I could hear my own voice or that of my daughter’s as I read through it, in fact I need to send each of them a copy. There are SO many take-aways, I must have dogeared half the book! I love how she so unapologetically puts women and their needs first. Whether you agree with her life choices or not, she is really thoughtful, and honest about her struggles and she translates them into words that all of us can relate to. Her raw and real tales of motherhood, bulimia, addiction and divorce were profound reminders that we all have struggles and the beauty is in the mess.

Order is individual and some minds like order naturally and others need some help. Let’s look at the two types of thinkers. Right-brain types are visually oriented. They tend to think in images rather than words, focus on the big picture rather than the details, and go through life in a somewhat seat-of-the-pants (a.k.a. scattered) way. Left-brainers are those who think in words (attention, list makers!), do a lot of advance planning, and approach challenges in a rational, linear way. So, with this information try not to fight your tendencies and work with them instead. “The key to successful organizing,” says Melissa Picheny, principal of a functional-design company in New York City, “is to pay attention to your personality. Then come up with a plan that conforms to it, rather than trying to work within someone else’s system.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1629345161075-VRNZVDMLZ2HIBFMYFC9L/Primary+Bedroom+Inspo+%281%29.png+3.png Blog - 8 Trader Joe’s Items Worth A Try, New Products, Fresh Pizza Sauce Recipe, + 10 DIY Styling Tips - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1628965084891-WX52XO6EAHMBFXPWHOR6/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - 8 Trader Joe’s Items Worth A Try, New Products, Fresh Pizza Sauce Recipe, + 10 DIY Styling Tips - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/gbjrobhctsl2mahirqq7dllic01d0m monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1628636635897-VCFCQ6OYOT003GOKX53U/Screen+Shot+2021-08-10+at+4.03.33+PM.png Blog - 10 places to shop for an affordable bathroom vanity, my watermelon brie bites, the latest Shop board from PL Home, and more. - Make it stand out Rejuvenation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1628635551038-2GJZKHYN8QBQO4QJ9PZY/Screen+Shot+2021-08-10+at+3.45.38+PM.png Blog - 10 places to shop for an affordable bathroom vanity, my watermelon brie bites, the latest Shop board from PL Home, and more. - Joss & Main Joss & Main offer lots of sleek and simple options and most of them are under $500.

I like to use the three points that ground, whether it’s on a shelf or a coffee table. In this example it’s an all white shelf with all white or clear items, the greenery used as the three points draws the eye down from the top and is visually pleasing. The books add some accent colors for depth and the way they are opposite of each other they balance out the three points. Make total sense right? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1628710008965-WJAY0OZKY302J07OY7V2/knives.JPG Blog - 10 places to shop for an affordable bathroom vanity, my watermelon brie bites, the latest Shop board from PL Home, and more. - Store Your Knives Like A Chef Tossing your knives into a kitchen drawer can cause them to dull or chip.

First, it’s BPA free, it fully collapses to flat, so storing is super easy. You just add your popcorn and a splash of oil, I like coconut because it makes your popcorn taste soooo yum, and a dash of salt. Pop it in the microwave for approx. 2.5 minutes and you’re ready for toppings. I love some nutritional yeast and butter. When my kids were younger they loved it when I added some sugar and salt before popping because it tastes like kettle corn. Here’s a link to grab one for your family too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1627438122751-NOTHYE38XKUSAYSF2GQM/fresh+rolls+1.jpg Blog - The 7 Best Places To Shop For Rattan Furniture, My Fresh Rolls with Peanut Sauce Recipe, An Announcement, And Some Favorite Products. - Fresh Rolls w/ Peanut Sauce Ooooo so tasty and healthy to boot!

The small are a little harder to fill but the large need to be filled full or you end up with some extra rice paper on the roll which doesn’t look appetizing to me. If I find it’s not full enough I trim the excess on the last wrap so it doesn’t look gummy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1627438261302-L080L2G0HS66RZBCQ7OD/fresh+roll+3.jpg Blog - The 7 Best Places To Shop For Rattan Furniture, My Fresh Rolls with Peanut Sauce Recipe, An Announcement, And Some Favorite Products. - Time To Eat I love to plate food so it looks enticing to my guests!

I used the Follow Your Heart Feta because it’s dairy free and such a good dupe you won’t even know you skipped the cheese. It’s less than 10 ingredients and so easy to make. Serve it with a variety of crackers, pita or veggies, including gluten free and everyone can enjoy this one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626307115552-1JZMH8XMXFKYWUKM5LVN/IMG_3790+2.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - What You’'ll Need: 5mm cotton macrame rope Blue Tape Scissors Embroidery Floss ( I used 1 black and 3 rust ) Twine or string Wood Beads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306580090-NX5ZZF7MAC9CR6JP6F13/IMG_3793.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 1 String wood beads onto a length of twine or string, and tie the ends in a tight double knot to form a loop. Make sure the loop is large enough to fit over your doorknob. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306828029-DNCFXUCGQ18H9UOIGYY9/IMG_3791+2.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 2 Fold your rope into thirds, and then form it into an arch shape. Wrap painter's tape around each side of the arch where you'd like to wrap colored embroidery floss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306622222-QYSON5G7XSU5DIPW8QMN/IMG_3794.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 3 Tie a piece of embroidery floss with a double knot onto one end of the section you taped off. Tightly wrap the embroidery floss from one end of the taped section to the other, overlapping it to completely hide the rope. At the end, secure a knot with the floss, trim off the tail, and remove the tape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306660718-Z9FW4RX7EXCHGZOCK4S2/IMG_3797.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 4 Cinch the rope strands together to form a loop. Tie a knot to secure it with a different colored embroidery floss. Don't trim off the knot’s tail. Wrap the new floss color around the loop’s base until you form about a 1-inch band. Tie the end of the embroidery floss to the tail you left on at the start, trim the tails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306698223-7P1CBEZRTJRJQSILUTCW/IMG_3799.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 5 Cut through the loops on the end of the tassel to create loose rope strands. Unravel the ends of each rope strand and comb through them with your fingers to fluff up the tassel. Trim the length as desired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306732318-RZSP0J9WJKT2PD77YP1R/IMG_3800.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Step 6 Using the same embroidery floss color you used on the top of the tassel, tie the tassel to the wood beads with a tight double knot. Trim the tails. Make sure you unravel each strand of rope to create a more relaxed fringed tassel. Hang, and enjoy a warm welcome every time you pass it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626306978647-X5PKVCNUV8IQ6ZCGOI8X/Screen+Shot+2021-07-14+at+4.55.51+PM.png Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Ta Da!

Every time you bring something into your home one thing must leave. This helps prevent overcrowding and prevents clutter. For example, one coat comes in and an old coat gets donated. Open your mail every single day, because tomorrow never comes and then it becomes a larger job. Commit to opening and sorting, it only takes 5 minutes and beats a huge stack of mail to deal with later. The Swedish Death Cleanse isn’t really that morbid. The concept is that as you age you begin to get rid of things that no longer serve you so as not to burden your family with a monumental task. Research shows that adults you have tried this do say they felt less stressed, knowing that their affairs were in order and wouldn't one day become a burden to their family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626974022908-03C9ET0L6SE94TR4LURY/IMG_3842+2.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Bedroom Before When she first sent photos of the space it had carpet so to arrive to new hardwoods was such a blessing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626971964057-IR1UEMCVZ2KMZ18MT9JF/IMG_3849+2.JPG Blog - A Gorgeous Remodel in Tasmania, My Healthy Avocado Feta Dip, My DIY Door Tassel Tutorial, and Hannah’s New Apartment. - Bedroom After - Still waiting on items!

A new arm chair or rug is sure to do the trick. Create a balance in levels so the space doesn’t feel bottom heavy. Do this by using a pendant light above or a floor lamp next to your sofa, displaying artwork on a console, or by incorporating taller plants in the room. Open shelving is a great way to display pieces and draw the eye up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626211196049-4RJCJWWYNQ41ARXXCOY7/fridge.JPG Blog - Amazon Home Decor, Amanda’s Roasted Poblano Vegan Enchiladas, 10 Tips For Organizing Your Fridge + More - 10 Tips For Organizing Your Fridge An empty fridge is bad, an overfilled one even worse. Pre-cut fruits and vegetables at your own risk. You’re doing it wrong if you store milk in the door. Your fruits and veggies make terrible drawer mates. The exception? Strawberries. Meats should be stored on the lowest shelf. Trays, bins, and baskets have a place in the fridge. Use them! A disorganized fridge could lead to food waste. Label bins that always store the same items, such as bread. Line drawers with towels for an easy clean. I like to use simple white towels in mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1626034020115-D7WEU7WF1RA0FGLZCP6D/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Amazon Home Decor, Amanda’s Roasted Poblano Vegan Enchiladas, 10 Tips For Organizing Your Fridge + More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/ez0d04y1hatuezznvsz788u4kv2dns monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1625525861892-MHNOPI1QK6YQXWZYA6XA/Screen+Shot+2021-07-05+at+3.55.22+PM.png Blog - 10 Most Iconic Furniture Pieces Of All Time, Dave’s New Pizza Oven and My Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe, Plus Styling And Organizing Tips. - Make it stand out Image Credit: Vitra | Piece Adapted from Morgan Goldberg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1625524118110-09FW1WTHIVAPJYECXTQN/Screen+Shot+2021-07-05+at+3.28.20+PM.png Blog - 10 Most Iconic Furniture Pieces Of All Time, Dave’s New Pizza Oven and My Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe, Plus Styling And Organizing Tips. - Eames Lounge + Ottoman “When the set was introduced in 1956, there was nothing like it, and there is still nothing to equal it.

It’s kind of strange but we haven’t found a great pizza place near us, so this year before Father’s Day while dreaming up what I would give him I had a lightbulb moment. I got all the kids involved and they were so generous that we not only got the oven but a pizza peel, fire mitts (it gets around 900 degrees in there), a rocker pizza cutter, which btw, is super cool, and an infrared thermometer. This oven not only looks great but is really well designed, even the unboxing was cool. We use kiln dried oak blocks for wood fired pizza but this oven can also accommodate gas and wood pellets. What is awesome about this oven is that it weighs just 26.4 lbs. and has a carrying bag allowing you to take this bad boy to the beach, camping or maybe even your next event! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1625527543780-JQNV87Q4RZ051LUNIT2X/Pizza+2.JPG Blog - 10 Most Iconic Furniture Pieces Of All Time, Dave’s New Pizza Oven and My Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe, Plus Styling And Organizing Tips. - Pizza!

I ordered our flours, one gluten free and one regular from Amazon and they both come from Italy. I used a kitchen scale and measured out all my ingredients for the dough. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook and they turned out fabulous! I even froze a few extra, so hopefully those will work too as that will reduce my time making pizza night super easy!

Plus, the amber bottle is kind of my vibe. You can grab yours here, but save me some! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624747694524-DOP59JURNANAX0ADSRLH/pasta.JPG Blog - The Art & Science Of Entertaining Post Covid, My Summer Pasta with Zucchini, Sausage, Ricotta, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil, Elements You Need To Style A Shelf, A Folding Basics Video, And More. - Summer Pasta with Zucchini, Sausage, Ricotta, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil I stumbled a upon a recipe for this pasta while on Pinterest. It reminded me of a pasta we get at one of our favorite restaurants but it was missing a few things. So, you know what I did? I added them in and it was so good that Dave gave it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! I made mine using Kite Hill Ricotta Cheese and Follow Your Heart Parmesan which is dairy free and used gluten free penne, you could even go meatless or use a subsitute or make it all with real ingredients. It made enough for leftovers and it will definitely be on the rotation around here! There’s really nothing better than hearing your loved one’s making yum noises while eating! This one is worth a try, I promise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624752555701-PRHI0PC5PG7CDW1G72OK/bathroom+shelf.JPG Blog - The Art & Science Of Entertaining Post Covid, My Summer Pasta with Zucchini, Sausage, Ricotta, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil, Elements You Need To Style A Shelf, A Folding Basics Video, And More. - The Elements You Need To Style A Shelf I love me a good shelf! I also love how easy it is to change it up. I recently gave my hall/guest bathroom a little shelf makeover and here’s what I used: Something Living: 1 air plant and two tiny potted cacti. A candle: Mine is from The Joshua Tree Candle Co. Room Spray: It is the bathroom afterall, and oh yes, that is my current fav. room spray. Personality: I used a vintage book at the top for interest and added some height with some faux greens in an amber vase and a mini seagrass bowl I picked up in Yucca Valley. All the elements blend nicely together for a cohesive desert vibe. Gather a cohesive grouping and get styling! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1625174606301-V9DZAHJNSKBH70GY2BHY/clothes1.jpg Blog - The Art & Science Of Entertaining Post Covid, My Summer Pasta with Zucchini, Sausage, Ricotta, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil, Elements You Need To Style A Shelf, A Folding Basics Video, And More. - Folding Basics Tutorial You may have read Marie Kondo’s book, “The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying Up” awhile back, I know I did, but I get into this kind of thing! I believe that the act of folding someone’s clothes is an act of love, and somehow when their clothes or drawer looks nice they feel that love too. These are a few basics that we use when organizing and you can adapt for your drawers as well. This folding basics transfer well to your suitcase too. Why? Well, you can really get a lot in a drawer when you fold this way and you can ALSO still see it all which is a huge plus!

They range form itsy-bitsy to large scale and there is probably one for every design model and style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624566167228-UAL2UY1VRJOJLJKQ7ZAB/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+1.21.54+PM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Wood Might sound strange but I have been known to use beach wood in lots of my designs, what about that time I hung a branch in the dining room and cut out all those kraft paper snowflakes at Christmas! Anyhoo, wood can bring nature inside and reminds us of adventures from our past. here they have strands of beads creating a little whimsy and it takes up less visual space than say a wall hanging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624559468947-C05LKS126RXA7DXIVECV/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+11.30.34+AM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Tapestries There are lots of options here as well, and it doesn’t always mean Bohemian. This is a paint cloth with a charcoal drawing that fits this modern/rustic vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624559504384-DFI01MI30X7KV7JLPG54/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+11.30.28+AM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Porcelain Wall This may remind you of grandma, and hopefully that’s a good thing. You can add china in full scale or add a piece into a grouping for a more subtle reminder of the past or a loved one. It’s an unexpected twist to the gallery wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624559539486-W1JL339VWXKYAB8X3NGH/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+11.29.33+AM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Clipped Art I love this one because it reminds me of my father, who was an artist. I love the casual way it’s displayed and because it’s so simple it grabs your attention. This is definitely a minimalist option and going frameless never looked so good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624559583868-U0280H3IASLHD6YPD5EI/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+11.30.12+AM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Children’s Art I have always LOVED this and have several of my grown children’s pieces hanging in my house. I like to add them into my gallery wall or frame them next to bedside tables. Pick out some keepers and frame them up, it’s never too late! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624559624181-H6SVY7P6MCNO5HA8SMDQ/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+11.30.19+AM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Fabric Wall Hanging Vintage rugs, quilts or blankets are perfect for this and create a thoughtful design , add texture and depending on where they are from may be a focal piece striking up conversations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624490955217-NT67UDEN1AOV88U19FIQ/Screen+Shot+2021-06-23+at+4.27.42+PM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Cars I mean I’ve seen crazier things, wait maybe not! When Dave asked what’s on the blog this week he shared this design which is in retired Formula 1 driver, Nelson Piquet’s home. How cool is that? So, you don’t have to hang a car on your wall but try some groupings or some out of the box ideas that will transfer well to your space and bring thoughtful moments that people notice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624314695349-2G31689MPLJWHBFB5QTB/jam+jar.jpg Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Jam Jar Wine can be a favorite product right? I was introduced to this a few years back and I loved it then, but kind of moved on with life and forgot how much I enjoyed it. While recently at World Market shopping for a client I picked one up. Unless I had tried it before I’m not sure I would be into a sweet shiraz, but this baby tastes so good chilled on a hot day, so don’t rule it out if you think it will be too sweet! At just $11.99 it’s a worth a try!

I had to use gluten free flour due to my Hashimoto’s which is never quite the same when it comes to baking. If you can make this using the original recipe below it will be worth it. The folds of the pastry will be so much prettier with regular crust. I also would roll out the dough as thin as you can while still being able to fold it. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream. I decided to start giving stars based on my always willing and helpful taste tester. Dave gives this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. (Stay tuned next for next week when I give you that awesome pasta recipe I talked about above) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624550198606-JN8QKRS3EGQQU031TS2K/faux+cement+final+1.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Textured Vase Tutorial I know you’ve seen them, they are everywhere from Target to West Elm and beyond. Textured vessels are all the rage. Most of them can be spendy but you can create the same look for next to nothing, and I’m going to show you how. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624484385438-RNLS442TUDKODTJSLWL5/faux+cement+1.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Here’s What You Will Need: A disposable bowl or dish Paint brush Baking soda Sponge (optional) Paint, I used FolkArt in Linen and Ivory White https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624484459706-L386Y4EG3QCKG5H1BLJL/faux+cement+3.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Choose A Vase I had an old Southern Living vase that just wouldn’t come clean and the style wasn’t really what I wanted any longer but the vase was in good shape and sturdy. Look around your home for things with great shape but maybe dated and give it a fresh new look. Goodwill is a great place to pick up glass vases or crocks which would be fun for this DIY. This vase is perfect for me as those green bumps once painted out will look like many on trend vessels I’ve seen all over Instagram. I’m giddy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624484503355-G8SEHHTS569VVWIBG52D/faux+cement+4.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Mix It All Up Add about half of each bottle of paint to your bowl and mix well. Then add in about 1 Tablespoon baking soda and stir. How much mixture you make will depend on the size of your vessel. I used a popsicle stick so I could toss it afterward making cleanup easy. You want your mix to be spreadable but also have some texture. I made two batches for my vase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624484532003-NU7TM6HVIDV07HTEMVCJ/faux+cement+5.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Get Started I used brush strokes from the bottom to the top, making sure I had covered all the glass. This is only your first coat. Let this dry for 20’ish minutes and then apply a second coat. I let mine dry twice and then did a final touch-up and another dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624484557482-ALI3PNL0153NLCERN8N9/faux+cement+6.JPG Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - You Did It! You can be finished here or you can add some dimension using a sponge, some dirt from your yard and a little moss green paint. Mine is feeling a little more modern so I skipped this step but you could easily create that look as well. If you’d like to give it some old world charm like some of the Studio McGee vessels paint it clockwise or circular as if it was created on a potter’s wheel. On it’s last coat of paint take it outside and toss some dirt on it! Yes, really! Once it’s dry, brush off the dirt and violá you’ll have a beauty. Additionally, you can lightly sponge on some moss colored paint to create a beautiful patina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624227138063-5BERBVPNYB6BZJAXZM36/Screen+Shot+2021-06-20+at+3.10.32+PM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Some families deal with disarray in every room of their homes, and don't always know how to fix it. Need a simple, sure-fire fix, without adding on to your home? Think vertically with a shelving solution. Kitchen: A common problem in kitchens is the lack of storage space for things like cookbooks and large appliances. Free standing shelving can often fit along a wall or in a corner. I used to have industrial shelving in my condo kitchen years ago, I loved how it looked like a professional kitchen and I styled it up to really shine, it can also act like a pantry, storing extra Pellegrino’s or paper goods. Mudroom/Entryway: We recently talked about setting up a system in your entryway and additional shelving can really come in useful. Book bags, coats, umbrellas and sporting equipment can really pile up, creating clutter and making you late as your search for all the things you need. Whether it’s hooks, shelves, and nooks for pet supplies getting them organized in containers on shelves can really be helpful. Den & Family Room: Get things up and off the floor and into a container. Whether it’s decor on a shelf, video game controllers or a functioning charging station for a family of devices, wall shelves can help you stay organized and make the room feel bigger because the clutter is no longer staring you in the face. Bathroom: Wall mounted shelves come in so many finishes and styles, there is sure to be one that fits your decor. Bathrooms tend to clutter quickly with too many items out on the counter, wall shelves, and even corner shelves for small bathrooms can help you to keep things organized and looking great. If there are items you want to hide on the shelving just pop it in a decorative basket. I have a decorative shelf over a toilet in our guest bath, it has room spray, containers concealing overnight supplies, a candle, plant, etc., it’s pretty + practical. Garage: Make room for two cars and maximize the wall space in your garage by using heavy duty steel shelving. Use systems like Elfa for lawn and garden tools and car cleaning supplies. It’s amazing how great a clean garage feels. Doesn’t everything seem better when we are organized?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1624583240975-ZJ4LQJJF8MJ9QHHW8PKK/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+6.06.44+PM.png Blog - I answer the common design question, “What can I put on my walls that isn’t art?”, my favorite product, my mini galette recipe, my DIY textured vase tutorial, and 5 great shelving options. - Make it stand out I know I’m new to town and only 9 months into this thing but help me GROW!

You will need: Satin Terracotta Paint 25mm wood beads Jute Hot Glue Gun I bought my beads and jute on amazon and picked up the terracotta paint at Lowe’s. You could use any color paint but I love the terracotta here in the desert. You could also go natural and just string the beads. I have lots of those! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952397214-9O7HS8YWTN3TQQOBSIR0/casa+bead+1.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Paint Your Casa Beads Set up a large cardboard box or anything you don’t care about throwing away! Leave enough space to get all along the sides of each bead. They dry really fast. I used 50 beads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952428034-52M0L0TP3E3Q5BXAO3HC/casa+bead+2.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Paint The Other Side Once they are dry, mine took about 5 minutes.

I like mine shorter but you could also do all 50, just depends on where you want to style them in the end. I find 25 sit nicely on the top of books and shelves. Once you have strung the beads tie a knot at the end close to the bead and leave 2-3 inches of jute on each side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952558380-9OMNU6SMDYGH9WH4Z1VR/casa+bead+5.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Let’s Make The Tassels! I used a piece of cardboard about 5 inches long. Wrap the jute around the cardboard approximately 35 times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952589811-N1ZXLD2RMB4E15T0PMXS/casa+bead+6.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Wrap Those Tassels Cut a long piece of jute and wrap once around jute closer to one end and knot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952623595-VS5GAU0Z92RLBKQ4H1LM/casa+bead+7.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Finishing The Tassel Using the jute you knotted, continue to wrap it around the tassel and use a small bead of hot glue to secure. Once those are dry, cut the larger ended loop creating a little tassel bottom. I like to trim mine so they are all one length. Now use the length you left on the beaded garland and thread it through the top loop and tie a knot. Trim any excess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623952653272-QHTX0F4KGMK5Y9M62PAV/casa+bead+8.JPG Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - BOOM!

With a little makeup organization you can find your lipstick and have a de-cluttered countertop, it’s a win-win. Free Up Space In the Fridge: Enjoy stress free meal prep and avoid buying duplicates when you organize and use bins in your fridge and freezer. Plus, name one person that doesn’t love a pretty fridge. Go ahead, I’m waiting. Tame The Toys: Consider trying some fun and safe ways to organize the toys and craft supplies that will free up space and help the littles put their toys away. Contain Your Cabinets: I bet you don’t realize how much lost real estate is in your existing cabinets. Use stacking shelves and pull-out drawers to make the most of your space. Matching Hangers: This is one of the best ways to elevate your closet, matching hangers! Get rid of old hangers from the dry cleaner and take the time to make some donations while you transfer your clothes to all new hangers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623779719528-DKPD7RXTOUWVBDZXLV5P/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Patio furniture on sale right now, my Zara Haul, a yummy blood orange poptail, DIY casa bead tutorial, and 5 ways to organize under $100 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/ue6ijaemp10uzemszyk6evvemkg4qb monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623348211738-MLZE953JNHW9KTZEWBI9/edited+sofa+dupe.png Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - RH Cloud Sofa vs. Cali Pearl Modular Sectional If you LOVE the cloud sofa you can find the dupe here for the same look and vibe that is much friendlier to your bank balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623348240475-ZMK3K84IEVANT7QJICUW/edited+bed+dupe.png Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - RH Cloud Platform Bed vs. Ultra Soft Frame Restoration Hardware’s Cloud line is the envy of all and the cloud platform bed is among that dream line, but my daughter just purchased this awesome dupe from Soft Frame Designs and its a good one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623348266975-RNJ5IXDS7M2U9SYY6GPR/edited+chair+dupe.png Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - Article vs. Overstock There is no doubt about it, Article is killing it with all they do and this Arca outdoor chair is beautiful, but if budget is an issue you can find these dupes and they are two for the price of one at Article. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623348296300-BB7D78ZDO0SFOIGZSHQE/edited+mirror+dupe.png Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - Halcyon Gild Tall Mirror vs. Selene Floor Mirror The gilded mirror is gorgeous but a budget friendly version can be found at Urban Outfitters and I’m not sure but I’m pretty confident you’ll look the same in either selection! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623267531465-J0N5JJ8B8OJ8SMLPNDHY/trader+joes.jpg Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - Trader Joe’s Sparkling Watermelon Juice Wow, I really enjoyed this one! These little guys are refreshing, the taste is not overpowering and it actually has some great flavor. I’ve found a lot of the hard seltzers lack any real taste. I tried mine over ice with a splash of Casamigos Tequila. They have a little bit more sugar than I’m used to, maybe that’s why it was so good! It’s 60 calories per can and 3tsp. of sugar. Definitely worth a try. Did I mention it’s HOT here? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623347571844-3BATPUDXGEN1BCRGQTAL/grilled+avacados.jpg Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - Grilled Avocado With Pico Stuffing I served this as a fresh summer side to my Lime Chicken Tacos and they did not disappoint.

I have a gauze table runner that I always have on my dining table, but there are so many fun options from fabric to macramé. Here I used two wooden cake stands from Target ( I don’t think there’s ever been a cake on them! ) I like the height they add to the center. If you don’t have fresh flowers look around the house or back patio and use some potted plants, I used some cacti from my patio and added in a few air plants. The copper water cups pull in the warmth from the terracotta and woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623269103013-18QGQP1OTR37BC0EV7KW/Jen+Styling.JPG Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more.

Seasonal - Whether it’s coats and mittens or swim bags you need a system! Having a designated spot to collect these items will help everyone save time when heading out the door. Add hooks for hanging bags and jackets and baskets for hiding away mittens, etc. On The Go Essentials - Having an organized entry means you have a bowl or basket for keys, drop them in on your way in and they will be ready for your departure, no more “where are my keys?” moments! Consider adding a basket or bin for things that regularly go out the door such as returns or library books. Kid Zone - Make it easy for them, and for you by giving the kids hooks they can reach to hang up their own jackets and bags. Bins or baskets labelled with their names helps them learn to clean up after themselves. Entryway Extras - Keep a drawer or basket near the entryway with things you need last minute when rushing out the door. Like a lint brush, fabric shaver, stain remover, even a small sewing kit and breath mints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1623196500749-3XD31U3CKIMS7LFKSNBO/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Four dupes you can get right now, My grilled avocado recipe, an easy tablescape, and more. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/ndms7e45cmhrg1shrxrgd12obdxxtd monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622679256200-WR3A96BCHJG7IXGQOU2K/Screen+Shot+2021-06-02+at+5.13.42+PM.png Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - Make it stand out The Joshua Tree House | design by Sara and Rich Combs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622399613291-NCVEEIZBHTKNNTSSS242/Screen+Shot+2021-05-30+at+11.33.13+AM.png Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - Poppi Leave it to the kids to introduce me to some fun summertime beverages that taste good and are good for your belly too! While in Seattle, my youngest daughter Amanda introduced me to these yummy drinks. They are low in sugar, less than 20 calories, infused with apple cider vinegar, which is great for your gut health but it’s also stealth like because you cannot taste it whatsoever. Lot’s of yummy flavors, mine was the Raspberry Rose. If you’d like to try one check your local grocer but if not you can order yours here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622521192908-91ZY4E0P4A4PWGBMOII3/blue+cheese.jpg Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - Easy Oregon Blue Cheese Dip I know I always say “this recipe is a favorite” but that’s because I only try to give you the one’s I truly believe are something special, and this one is just that. It’s easy and a great thing to bring to a party or gathering. We are having those again, right? Without fail I am always asked for the recipe, it’s pretty and tastes great served with sliced granny smith apples and crackers and a chilled glass of white wine. I often double the recipe if I’m serving it at a large gathering. I’m mostly dairy free but this one is worth the splurge! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622609821620-ONSRYUSE5766AE3XUPPP/shelf+before.JPG Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - A Quick Shelf Makeover From drab and dated to fab and fun in less than 10 minutes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622680103394-M2LEJ7TWTQQA7OVO5J09/shelf+makeover+2.JPG Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - Simple changes bring that same shelf to a modern and classy vibe, a bit relaxed but definitely not lazy.

Assign each child a different colored container to keep his or her belongings in and keep them responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Organize projects, bills and other important papers by function and color in your home office. You can use colored markers or colored post it notes in each person’s color to keep the calendar organized by family member, this works great on a white board where things may change often. If your kids have moved on you can still use color, just use if for activity or event to give you a visual of what needs to be completed. I like to use color on my work schedule via my google calendar so I can visually see what things have coming up for the week. Whether you’re running an office or a family this system works for everyone. Get creative and be organized too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622399099503-YN07TN36Y17GYGFI4TBP/charcuterie1.jpg Blog - Several Ways to Make Your Bedroom feel Like a Hotel, And A Good One, my Oregon Blue Cheese Dip, a 10 minute shelf makeover, something new coming soon and products and tips. - Custom Delivered Grazers will be on the site soon!

I don’t need to buy dryer sheets any longer and that means I don’t dry chemicals into all the clothing we wear. Ya, chemicals are bad folks. They last for 1000 loads. Yes, you read that right. They are also made out of 100% pure New Zealand wool. Wool Dryer Balls separate clothes to allow more air to them, eliminating post-cycle wrinkles and reducing drying time by 25% per load, which in turn reduces energy. Lastly, I love to add a few drops of essential oils like lemon citrus or lavender to each wool ball making our laundry smell oh so good! I get mine here but you can almost get them everywhere now. Go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622044443665-3FL31OJ9TJOQS4KDZ7KR/Screen+Shot+2021-05-26+at+8.53.45+AM.png Blog - Work travel, How to bring texture to your dining room, Thai Chicken you will want to make over and over again, How to re-vamp your magazine storage and more. - Thai Chicken Thigh Bake So if you loved my Cilantro Lime chicken recipe and the way it melts in your mouth you are really going to love my Thai Chicken and so will your friends and family!

Another great option is pendant lights, there are so many great one’s available right now from modern, bold and whimsical, seagrass is hitting it’s stride and I’m here for it! Don’t forget rugs, from jute, braided and textured and sculpted the biggest decision is which one? Next on the list is wall hangings and the options are endless. Loomed wall hangings, basket bowls, and raffia fans are all on the top of my list. But, the easiest way still is by adding in some greenery . This one you can do today, just make sure you place it in a textured basket! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622043881877-KD271JPY67QNW07Q20ZP/laura-chouette-F5cUG2J8SxI-unsplash.jpg Blog - Work travel, How to bring texture to your dining room, Thai Chicken you will want to make over and over again, How to re-vamp your magazine storage and more. - Revamp Your Magazine Storage If you are anything like me I CANNOT handle clutter, like it actually makes me feel like my life is falling apart. So, I personally get rid of magazines and catalogs as soon as they are consumed. Unless it’s the September issue of Vogue that is, and if you know, then you know. Take a few minutes to set up an organizational system for your favorite titles. Commit to storing only the most recent issues (six months is a good guideline) and recycle the rest. If there's a certain story you want to keep beyond the six-month period, tear that page out and file it...there's no need to keep the entire issue. Mine are often recipes which I tear out and slide into a page protector and store in a pretty three ring binder near my favorite cookbooks. Just start, you can do it. The worst thing in a home is stacks of old magazines, de-clutter that stuff now! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1622042934923-DVKP89GTAKL2VPHMAT8F/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Work travel, How to bring texture to your dining room, Thai Chicken you will want to make over and over again, How to re-vamp your magazine storage and more. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/ybye8bdrp52ykwiwxiuzb92krdcqsy monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1621461398160-7LT8GXFQ3A095GLBZ3EO/Screen+Shot+2021-05-19+at+2.56.14+PM.png Blog - A Designer’s Fun, Mid-Century Makeover Of Her ‘90s Townhouse, my Queso Fundido recipe, + products and tips! - Make it stand out Design Files/ Amelia Barnes / Photos by Armelle Habib https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1621461588523-Y4L0IP09F2HB2WI7CCIN/Screen+Shot+2021-05-19+at+2.59.30+PM.png Blog - A Designer’s Fun, Mid-Century Makeover Of Her ‘90s Townhouse, my Queso Fundido recipe, + products and tips!

My girlfriend was in the desert last week and offered to cook us dinner and she delighted us with her yummy steamed artichokes. So of course I had to make them again and they were so delish. Make yours with my printable recipe below! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1620348572607-4OTQ433ODVCXX4XKZI96/Anchor.png Blog - 10 Amazon home decor items under $100 that will quickly refresh your space, two favorite products and yummy summer artichokes. - Styling A Console Table Styling a console can really be this simple. Start with an anchoring piece, in this instance a round mirror. Add balance on each side with matching lamps or a single lamp and a vase with some height, lastly accessorize, but keep it simple. So pretty and so easy. This is just one of many ways to style an entry way console! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1620159858577-9NF1GG96K1BC26JEKJ2R/my+junk+drawer2.png Blog - 10 Amazon home decor items under $100 that will quickly refresh your space, two favorite products and yummy summer artichokes. - Organize Your Junk Drawer We all have one or a version of one, and it’s crammed full of things we thought we needed but never go back to. Set your timer and get to it! 30 minutes and 1 drawer and you will be surprised how fast, easy and gratifying it can be, and it may even push you to do another! Pull everything out of the drawer, and wipe it clean. Now create piles of what stay and what goes. The goal is to have a pretty drawer that helps you locate things so be really selective when choosing what stays. I used bamboo dividers in mine but you can choose whatever you like. My junk section is only part of a larger drawer so I have cooking items and a small section of hardware and tools I use often, as well. Your junk drawer should only be junk from the kitchen, not the office and all the bedrooms, create a catch-all in each space and the junk will feel smaller. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1620154287257-QDAIU2K6XGM7YIWRSZV1/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - 10 Amazon home decor items under $100 that will quickly refresh your space, two favorite products and yummy summer artichokes. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/nzd6zb3l9rk3sfixpu1oybc1gdok7x monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619550714137-T0E8WNA1U2R2J1V28KSD/IMG_2526.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619550743484-7ZJC6IB68CHRGFN8F158/IMG_2524.JPG Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Tablescapes I LOVE a good tablescape, and love to find new ways to make a table come alive with textures and colors. For this table I purchased 12 hammered copper chargers and layered them over some woven seagrass placemats that I found at World Market. I love a white plate and used a three layer fold on the napkin. I tied in the low floral arrangement by using a large and low copper bowl and 12 small hammered copper water glasses. Some simple candle tapers and water pitchers completed this ensemble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619553560934-00TOTNBQBRXLVSR02TBY/IMG_2519.JPG Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Floral When creating a low container arrangement there are a few things to consider and a few items you will need to grab from your local craft store. I like to create low arrangements for tables where dining or conversation will take place. In this arrangement I used a floral foam block that holds water. I soak the brick until it floats and then place in the center of the bowl. I next use clear floral tape and create a grid across the top of the bowl. I start with the greens and arrange them from the center out, making sure that some trail out and some add height in the center. Then I add in the largest flower faces, in this case the sunflowers. From there I just keep turning the arrangement filling in with roses and more greens until it’s full and you can no longer see down into the bowl. Voilà, gorgeous! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619551065833-YEB1M17X4H41ATT1YTHK/IMG_2522.JPG Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - The Napkin Fold If you are looking for new ways to fold dinner napkins you can find lots of options on Pinterest. Here I did the fold (Summer Trifecta) and layered the utensils. I like to use some greenery and usually opt for rosemary or a eucalyptus sprig. This is a great way to incorporate a place tag as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619551186198-RUP122W9CS0HOKH9UNL5/Young+Event.JPG Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Hand Chalked Signs One of our specialties is hand chalked signs and we use them for most of our small parties. I love to greet the guests with something original and unexpected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619551260538-3P78GEICIN3X75RKZ0ZM/IMG_2531.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - It’s In The Little Moments We use small hand chalked signs as well to call out stations and to make the hostesses life easier like with this DIY Martini Station. I also like to use cake stands or other items that create differing height as it’s pleasing to the eye and creates interest. I love to throw in some plants like cacti to make it even more dimensional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619551320111-LRINBSSSR7B97KLJQKQU/IMG_2535.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Glassware If you don’t have the perfect glassware for your party you can consider renting them! I am IN LOVE with these Hepburn blush coupes and they looked so pretty on this wooden tray next to the martini bar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619552574703-3X31G8YUS7R3S5UU6AK2/IMG_2529.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Drink Stations We did two martini options at this event. The traditional martini with all the garnishes, including several olive options, and a specialty version, The Pink Lemonade Martini with a lemon and raspberry garnish. I use the medium chalkboard signs to post the recipe and include all the tools needed to create whatever drink we have selected. This not only helps the hostess by relieving the bartending position but also lends to interaction and conversation starters for the guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619551448377-BCDO853CK1GJLMKT8OEK/IMG_2537.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - The Details Make sure to not overlook the details. All the tools necessary, easily in reach for guests to create. I love these beautiful spouted glass jars for simple syrups or in this case olive juice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619552622335-U3WD8YCTCP5FZCFM5TQ8/IMG_2538.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Stay Within A Theme The jars we selected for the olives were labeled clearly (with my favorite labeler) and carry on with the theme and style we have already incorporated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619552653763-ARGOQ0INCR9CEEH3WBXV/IMG_2542.jpg Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - And Then There Was Cake Obviously when you plan a birthday party you must have CAKE! I have two amazing bakeries here in the desert that I like to order from because not only do they taste amazing but you get some elevated options when it comes to cake design and even gluten free, and dairy free options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619660064394-19AJIINYXC6WWHD56ZRA/My+bday.JPG Blog - It’s My Birthday Week…and a glimpse at our last event. - Gratitude Thank you for following, subscribing and reading!

You should inspect your vent at least every 6 months to ensure that it is operating well and not clogged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618865385232-XE1MW6XCVIRX3B4X6LPE/vent.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Vent Hood Filter You should replace your hood vent filter once a year. These filters get loaded with grease and odors and debris and can get fairly nasty and cause potential foul odors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618865528802-VH98I2ORUYQ9FDEXX7GD/refrigerator.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Refrigerator Water Filter The water filter ensures your water and ice are fresh and clean. To keep it working properly and to deter lime and calcium build-up it should be replaced every 6 months. Luckily my fridge lets me know if it’s time for a change. Each refrigerator brand and model is different, so consult your owner's manual to determine what kind of filter you will need and where it's located in your fridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618785461491-18KCUA3HCAKERV9G6Z94/swabdesign-IntzZWcSegc-unsplash.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Bed Pillows Pillows can harbor dust, dust mites, dead skin, and body oils. They also lose their shape after prolonged use. Pillows can harbor dust, dust mites, dead skin, and body oils. I like to wash mine every month to keep them clean, but this will depend on what type of pillows you have. It's a good idea to replace your old pillows with new pillows once every one to two years. Using old pillows can harbor dust mites and cause allergies, skin breakouts and poor sleep quailty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618866074040-Z39ZQKYMUILHKH4CW7W5/toilet.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Toilet Brushes I feel like this is an obvious thing, a toilet brush harbors bacteria and for all the gross reasons that I’m not going to list here, just get yourself a new one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618793236610-EXGBIA4XO6FI189MKOF5/bath+mat.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Bath Mats Bath mats are used to absorb water, I wash mine as often as I clean the bathroom and replace them every year, because who doesn’t want new bath mats? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618866417806-FIFQNMTCP23S2U92RFUR/HVAC.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - HVAC Filter Your HVAC filter helps to clean dust, dirt, allergens, pet hair, and dander from your home. If the filter gets full or clogged, then your air won't sift through the filter, and that can cause your HVAC system to malfunction. It's a good idea to change a 1- to 2-inch filter every two to three months, and a 4- to 5-inch filter every six and eight months to keep your HVAC working properly. We live in the desert where the AC runs half the year and it’s dusty, so replacing these on a schedule is a good idea! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618874173172-16MSUG8XNPQ1ZWMC63W1/Screen+Shot+2021-04-19+at+4.15.25+PM.png Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - NAVY Haircare I loved the NAVY Pebble Beach Dry Texture Spray so much that I thought I’d give the SWELL Thickening cream a try and it’s AWESOME! Smells so good and definitely makes my hear feel thicker and a noticeable shine. You can get yours here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618853673377-NC64PXN9QT5QC57WL5S3/enchilada.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchilada This vegan, gluten free and dairy free recipe won’t disappoint, it is adapted from The Minimalist Baker. You don’t have to miss your favorite Mexican foods any longer, you just have to change them up a bit and be open to trying new ideas and flavors. I have several versions of this recipe using green and red enchilada sauces. Leftovers make for an easy 2nd night or a great lunch option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618789425613-CYG4Q7ZMU9G2SYS5UPTX/pizza.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 1: Food If you have a large dining table already in your yard or even a small outside kitchen you can be a bit more elaborate in your food options. If you don’t then sticking to finger foods that guests can eat while milling about will be a lifesaver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618790907631-1AS1UQIY0W0K9LYXLF9X/Screen+Shot+2021-04-18+at+5.08.03+PM.png Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 2: Dishware & Flatware I think the style of event your planning has a lot to do with your serve ware. I personally don’t like paper plates but you can get away with them in the BBQ arena. If you’re planning to eat at a table outdoors I usually set it with my regular dishes. I love white plates because all food looks great on a white plate! There is currently some melamine dishware available and lots of them look amazing. Think of your guests and what suits them best and will you be hosting kids, because melamine is a great option for the littles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618789053687-0BEYP4ALWHA7ORVY4V7R/cheers.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 3: Refreshments No outdoor gathering would be complete without cocktails or even mocktails. I like to create a bar station with small chalkboard signs that have the recipes for two drink options. Then I set out all the garnishes, glassware, and bar accessories and let your guest have fun at your DIY cocktail bar. A cooler outside can house kids beverages and bottled and canned drinks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618793351297-PCK40ISKIUSCFEWLF8N0/Screen+Shot+2021-04-18+at+5.48.49+PM.png Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 4: Layout If you decided to host a party in your outdoor space I assume you already have a stylish one but you do need to consider the layout to ensure it’s party ready. Can people move around effortlessly? Are there enough seating option for people to have conversation? A place to put down their food and drinks? Even a small patio can have good flow if a space-maximizing layout is used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618792965904-K9FHXV49RY2TIWVBTVNI/Screen+Shot+2021-04-18+at+5.42.29+PM.png Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 5: Style I like to give my parties a specific look and feel. I usually plan on 2-4 floral arrangements, these can even be as simple as mason jars or copper Moscow Mule mugs filled with simple greenery and a single sunflower. I also like to use small chalkboard signs to mark stations and even some fun little pops of humor on a chalkboard sign tucked in by the cake or bar station. You can order fresh eucalyptus at the grocery store and create some dreamy little moments with candles and decor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618787653854-M0Y1SPUJC31717CJUIO4/david-hunter-M9gGS4ggbq4-unsplash.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 6: Seating Don’t forget to take a second look at your seating, do you have enough? If not, it’s time to head out and shop or call your local rental store and see what your option are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618791663648-VIAHSWHULP83UFZB0TB7/Screen+Shot+2021-04-18+at+5.20.34+PM.png Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 7: Decor & Accessories At the beginning of the season I like to make sure that all my outdoor furniture is in good shape. Each year I update my outdoor pillows and rugs. You can hang some outdoor lights and add color with some umbrellas and some potted plants, you really want to make the space feel inviting and if you do it well it will also be a conversation starter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618786602014-MOYTGQ5NHLJ5BS78K7BS/marissa-rodriguez-p7iBrf9I9iE-unsplash.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 8: Lighting This is probably obvious but it will eventually get dark! You may need more light than your party lights. You can add in some pathway lights. I usually light the pool and turn on the outdoor fireplace to create some ambiance and some extra light. Play around before the party and see how much lighting you might need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1618788780694-2M40XRA1FSF9T77V62QX/cornhole.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Step 9: Games & Activities This is a big one at our house! We love to set up a corn hole game and let guests take turns playing. We have gotten fairly good here and the competition can get fierce! If corn hole isn’t your thing there are many options like extra large backyard Jenga, volleyball, or bocce ball, you can even get away with dice or dominos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1619112760634-05AEXHLY5FW4UY9RNPXA/family+calendar.jpg Blog - 7 Things You’re Definitely Not Cleaning Enough, My Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, and My Outdoor Party Checklist That Pretty Much Guarantees Your Soireé Will Be A Hit. - Create A Family Communication Center Organize the hub of your home to gain maximum efficiency. A great clue as to where to place is is the spot where everyone’s stuff gathers. A calendar to keep track of everyone’s activities, color code each family member to keep track of who is going where. A magnetic board to hold notes and special announcements. Incorporate a multi-colored filing solution to organize incoming mail for everyone in the household. Don’t forget an outgoing baskets for thins that need to be returned.

I love dry brushing because it’s easy, it feels good and it helps drain your lymphatic system. It helps move out toxins and bring in good nutrients to every cell in the body. Dry brushing also increases elasticity and lifts your trouble spots like the butt and back of the thighs. its main purpose is to stimulate collage production, which will help to thicken the skin and lessen the appearance of fat cells. It also dramatically increases elasticity, so it’s great for lifting and toning a problem area. Start at the tops of the feet and brush upwards toward the heart. Spend extra time on areas that tend to be more stagnant, like the inner thigh, and don’t forget to include the backs of the arms and the back. You can usually see result in as little as two weeks.

We use a chalk pen to easily label each one and they wipe clean if you need to change up the label type. They slip easily on to a shelf and work well in the pantry and also the cupboards!

This will be your go to summer salad! It’s one of my favorite Minimalist Baker recipes for summer. It has 9 ingredients and takes just 30 minutes. I will be making this on Saturday, with our first family gathering in a year! I have linked the recipe here. The recipe is GF, DF, Vegan but you can sub out the GF pasta and plant based parmesan to get the full monty. I do encourage you to try it just as it’s written, you might be surprised at how flavorful it is and make a small step toward healthier eating! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616691809608-8KFS4ZHIC4EOZ28NZU6I/Screen+Shot+2021-03-23+at+9.53.09+AM.png Blog - Decor that makes you HAPPY, Pesto Pasta Salad, layering tonal shades, and one quick way to make your closet look instantly cohesive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616445356680-UCAVJUPMVXHQXWTBER8S/artem-beliaikin-dwZjyFGWR2g-unsplash.jpg Blog - Decor that makes you HAPPY, Pesto Pasta Salad, layering tonal shades, and one quick way to make your closet look instantly cohesive. - One Quick Way to Make Your Closet Look Instantly Cohesive The answer is HANGERS! It’s pretty simple but changing out your hangers is an easy way to make your closet feel cohesive and instantly add visual continuity. If you look at a closet advertisement you’ll notice all of the hangers are the same for one reason, it looks AHHMAZING. Having the same hangers is more efficient: All of your garments are hung at the same height & width. This also helps you to save space by eliminating bulky and inefficient hangers. Plus, it makes it easier to find your clothes: When your closet is full of random hangers, garments tend to get “lost” behind others. I usually opt for all wooden hangers with the exception of some felt hangers for those tricky pieces. If you want to spend some extra time try categorizing your garments and grouping them together. I have mine all color coded. Which basically means, all of my clothes are hung and color coded from white, tan, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, grey, black. If you have patterned items with multiple colors, decide on its primary color and group it with that color. The basic rule is left to right, light to dark. Lastly, the time is now for you to lose all the plastic hangers, no more metal hangers. Remove all the plastic from your dry cleaning (Did you know covers can trap moisture in the air and cause mildew, staining and weakening of fibers!? Flimsy plastic coffins be gone!) Now when you step into your closet not only will you find your things faster but it will be pretty too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616443385842-K2H5P0B927K2D19K0BB8/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Decor that makes you HAPPY, Pesto Pasta Salad, layering tonal shades, and one quick way to make your closet look instantly cohesive. https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/spring-cleaning-according-to-your-zodiac-sign-my-anytime-smoothie-how-to-use-textiles-for-pattern-and-color-and-more monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616012959470-NFXQ7I29I5IRUVY6AZ8X/Screen+Shot+2021-03-17+at+1.28.58+PM.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017465469-MZO3ABAK6LI9DKCDNAJG/1.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017465543-NC92MXEMALPV4MX3IHCV/2.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017466009-ILEBNBBYGCXXYW6D4A73/3.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017466166-Z0JUAF648KA8A8TA9S6W/4.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017466999-PX0GKMFZGUCOAJHWK2Q9/5.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017467505-EML5TZZQ3J2YWAT2EQB6/6.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017467529-GXX21O9BXJC1GCHPT78N/7.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017468088-QIM2DMUYBQIBU2XMZC5D/8.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017468870-NQBQM5BBM6VRB3BCKUZD/9.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017469228-0UIHTOS7XI8HCWX913CV/10.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017469731-JD3B5QMRFDH7V3IOCM1P/11.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017470661-BVWJZAD2MLFVHGIZS2UN/12.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1616017971629-TOP2QV23S8BJF9IDVIEX/Screen+Shot+2021-03-17+at+2.50.00+PM.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… - Supergoop’s GLOW SCREEN When you live where the sun is ALWAYS shining you need to find a sunscreen that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and protected while also being clean.

I typically make this shake in the morning but you could have it anytime. I sort of have a base recipe in my head I follow and then I add in whatever fruits or veggies might be on hand or need to go soon. I will include the recipe below but please feel free to add in anything you like, you can’t ruin this recipe. If you think you don’t like dates give them a chance, they really add a lot to this shake. If you are serving this shake to a picky eater always throw in a banana, it has the ability to mask any vegetable! I typically don’t use a banana in an effort to keep the sugar count down but when my kiddos were little I would serve them a green shake with an entire head of romaine in it and they never knew because of that banana! This is a perfect out the door morning breakfast, enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1615934097992-0GVZB85K74N3G20EZ4YX/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+3.33.27+PM.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… - Use Textiles For Pattern And Color If you keep a nice neutral base with furniture staples you can always add pattern and color with textiles, and then you can change them out often or with the season for a budget friendly design.

In fact it may be a Rachel Zoe thing for me, if you know then you know. I think my daughters were helping me “edit” my closet while they were still in grade school. When we say edit in the organizing world it usually means we need to pare down items. I like to create categories and or bins to help the edit process go smoothly. If you use bins for this in the end, you have one to sort and re-home and one to donate, etc. So get some bins or boxes out and some sticky notes and get sorting! I highly recommend taking everything out of the space to begin your edit. I know this makes it feel messy and scary but you will be happy you did, I promise. Things that stay can go back into the space, things that don’t get binned. This method works in every area of your home. This is the time to ask yourself hard questions, like when did I use this last, if you don’t use it or love it you should sacrifice it for the space you’ll gain. You see it’s a win, win. Donation Storage or Re-home Discard/ Garbage You can do it, I promise. In the event that you don’t “want” to do it, there’s a big difference there. Message me and I’ll take care of you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1615929218491-VVJ7JMK7PSFVRL1BTNF0/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - Spring cleaning according to your zodiac sign, my go-to “Anytime” smoothie, how to use textiles for pattern and color + more… https://www.privatelyfe.com/blog/an-australian-reno-with-palm-springs-style-reusable-paper-towels-my-thai-noodle-salad-how-to-style-spring-branches-and-more monthly 0.5 2022-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1615240850829-APXB18FRHU44ZPMPKLD0/Screen+Shot+2021-03-08+at+2.00.35+PM.png Blog - An Australian Reno with Palm Springs Style, My Thai Noodle Salad, Re-Usable Paper Towels, How to Style Spring Branches + More.

I don’t really know why I haven’t made this recipe in 20+ years because it’s SO dang good and easy too! The flavors are out of this world and it’s just the right amount of spice (you can make it hotter if you like). It’s colorful and a great salad to bring to a BBQ or family gathering, if we ever have those again. I love that it’s chilled so you can make it a head of time and it makes a great lunchtime addition or as a leftover as well. I topped mine with lime wedges and some additional cilantro, I also made mine gluten free by using GF pasta and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Try this.

I have been labeling things in our house since before my kids were born and they still tease me for my obsession with all things labeled!

It’s helpful to be methodical in your approach to organizing. Follow these four steps to help you as you organize. 1. Take everything out. Don’t skip this step! Using the example of cooking utensils, empty that drawer or canister completely. Wipe it clean while you have the chance. 2. Select your favorites. Start with what you use, what you like, and what supports you now. Don’t get wrapped up in what used to work, or what might help in the future. What “sparks joy”? Set those items aside. 3. Express gratitude for what doesn’t make the cut. If you have six wooden spoons and only choose three, keep those three and take a mindful moment of thanks for the others, setting them aside for donation. 4. Store, keeping easy access in mind.

She has large glossy leaves that split naturally. She is considered the Queen of indoor plants. This large upright plant has a rich tropical flair with large banana shaped leaves that fan out. She is hardy and adapts to a wide spectrum of light conditions from direct sun to low, indirect light, but will flourish in a sunny spot. Water and humidity are important to her and she will benefit from a regular misting. I water mine every Saturday and make sure that the pot doesn’t sit in standing water as a Bird of Paradise doesn’t appreciate wet roots. When grown indoors, there will not be enough light to trigger the plant to produce a bloom. The splitting of the leaves is normal and not cause for concern. In the wild this is how it stands up to the high winds of the tropics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1614111265194-HWAM3CTPUR72F5QYSKZT/plant+7.JPG Blog - Tropical plants that feel like vacation, My favorite white paint colors, Sage Butternut Squash risotto, and more… - Areca Palm Areca Palms are also low maintenance plants and they usually like to live in temps that are similar to yours. She thrives in low light and likes a moist soil but no standing water. The palms have smooth, sometimes golden trunks that are reminiscent of bamboo clumps. Their fronds are narrow and full, almost like bamboo leaves. It’s a good idea to fertilize an Areca palm from spring to fall as she is a heavy feeder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1614108342282-QQTA670O679H1UFTO9ZN/cacti+2.jpg Blog - Tropical plants that feel like vacation, My favorite white paint colors, Sage Butternut Squash risotto, and more… - Opuntia Microdasys (Bunny Ears) Bunny Ears is a bushy perennial cactus with oval to round flattened small pads. The pads appear in two’s like the ears of a rabbit. They are spineless but densely spotted. She prefers full sun or light shade and well drained soil. She is a very low maintenance plant and one of my favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1614103143706-HBMWTM9SSGL6D7PF2BV2/money+tree.jpg Blog - Tropical plants that feel like vacation, My favorite white paint colors, Sage Butternut Squash risotto, and more… - Money Tree The Money tree is a perfect indoor plant to give you a tropical feel. With her braided stem and bright green palm leaves she is both tree and palm. Native from Mexico to northern South America, the Money Tree is also very popular in Taiwan and other East Asian countries. The Money Tree gets it’s name because the Feng Shui practice believes it will bring positive energy and good luck to the owner. It has been said this plant reduces stress, anxiety and may also help lessen sleeping disorders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1614105545746-EFW58SNNSV6KVYS5F5M3/plant+4.jpg Blog - Tropical plants that feel like vacation, My favorite white paint colors, Sage Butternut Squash risotto, and more… - Ponytail Palm The Ponytail Palm is the easiest plant to take care of. She is draught tolerant and slow growing, a perfect match for a new plant lover. She is pretty happy to be watered every couple weeks and soak up the sun, plus she just has a fun attitude, don’t you think? The Ponytail Palm is neither a palm nor a tree — it’s actually a member of the Agave family, native to the southeastern desert of Mexico. The bulb-like trunk is used to store water and the long leaves that grow from the top of the trunk resemble a ponytail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1614123818996-SJ4H44VIKA6HU0ALF1TZ/jen+plant+1.JPG Blog - Tropical plants that feel like vacation, My favorite white paint colors, Sage Butternut Squash risotto, and more… - Where Can I find These Plants?

I have tried my fair share of bronzers and self tanners, heck remember when I owned Glō Seattle and did mobile spray tans!? This one is really killing it and for more than one reason. It’s forgiving, it’s easy to apply, it doesn’t come off on our sheets (which my guy really hates), it looks really natural, AND it smells so good I’ve had people ask me what I’m wearing.

At first I was a little leery of spending so much on a potted indoor plant, because well, what if I kill it? (They do offer a 30 day money back deal, btw). Well, when it arrived standing upright on my porch I knew I was in for a real treat. It was packaged so well and clearly thought out. Once she was unwrapped and standing tall I read her little intro card, gave her a drink of water and welcomed her home. This plant is the best quality plant I have ever bought and it continues to grow taller than me and I somehow look like I totally know what I’m doing with my green thumb! I chose the Bird of Paradise and she doesn’t disappoint. Bloomscape offers a variety of plants for even those who don’t have a green thumb.

They are truly beautiful and I have created several for myself and a few clients along the way, not to mention a lot of staging projects. I love how you can get really creative with your container choice. The one in the photo is built inside a vintage wooden bowl that belonged to my mother. You can now find these at most big box retailers. I have even been know to stop on the side of the road and snag some old glassware set out to the curb to create in. I guess it’s the thrill of the hunt! I’m dying to create a framed boxed version that will hang on the wall in my outdoor area. You can certainly create a live version, I’m all about the real deal but I love the no fuss version and she certainly gets compliments as she sits in the entry of our home, like “Oh hey!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1613587646524-9K75HJZWVWBIXLNN2WAF/edited+1.jpg Blog - Coffee table books + My TikTok feta pasta + How to create a succulent planter and more… - It’s really easy to create, here is what you’ll need: One Container of choice (I will base this recipe on the size pictured). 2 Small bags of rocks, in this one I used black but I have also used white. A handful of larger polished rocks. Faux succulents (mine are from Hobby Lobby). For this one I used 4 variations and bought several of each. Line the bottom with small rocks, arrange succulents with the tallest in the center. Really push the picks into the rock and make sure the base of the succulent is covered. Once you have styled the succulents to your liking add in the larger polished rocks to fill in any open areas. You can also use moss for this. On a side note you can call me for a custom version as well. Violá! Beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1613509164996-YV1W5N91GVFK2R5B9KV5/flatware.jpg Blog - Coffee table books + My TikTok feta pasta + How to create a succulent planter and more… - Bamboo Drawer Organizers We recently did an entire kitchen and pantry in all bamboo products and it was stunning!

Diffusers release cleansing molecules into your air that work to purify it, not overload it with unhealthy chemicals. They can help with sleep, stress, anxiety, bacteria in the air, congestion and so much more, plus they smell divine. I have tried so many inexpensive one’s that work great but only last a month or two. I received this one over a year ago as a gift from my guy and I love it. It makes our space smell amazing but it’s so pretty it doubles as decor. The oils are also amazing from Vitruvi, you literally cannot go wrong here.

Don’t try too hard, or overthink it. Accessories pull all the pieces of your room or vignette together. You may not need as many as you think. A simple object on a small stack of books can make a great statement and pull one area together such as your coffee table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612886923211-S2WG67464PGT06X22N7S/Screen+Shot+2021-02-09+at+7.53.45+AM.png Blog - How To Choose the Right Size Rug + How To Use Accessories to Style Your Home + My Favorite Products + My Fall Apart Chicken Recipe. - Find a balance.

Maybe add a stack of books for height or balance, a lamp or a vase with greens that balances out a longer space such as a console, dresser or entry table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612886955491-21QOEDFSJQ7F5ARNDDQP/Screen+Shot+2021-02-09+at+7.50.12+AM.png Blog - How To Choose the Right Size Rug + How To Use Accessories to Style Your Home + My Favorite Products + My Fall Apart Chicken Recipe. - Use personal items.

The Skincare Product Hollywood’s Most Beautiful Women Swear By. Shani Darden is Hollywood’s go-to guru for ageless complexions. Her own face should serve as proof that she gets mega results from her science-driven approach. Apparently, I should have started using a retinol years ago, but I have to admit I was a little confused by retinols and just never took the time. Retinol is coveted as an anti-aging formula because of its powerful ability to stimulate collagen production and skin cell turnover, effectively resurfacing the complexion's surface area to uncover brighter, tauter, and more even skin.

A modern beach house + my 1 pot chili recipe + how to give your home a flash makeover. - Madeleine devised a ‘simple and unassuming’ home using her signature stylish flair. ‘We chose to expose the structural system and referred to the simple post and beam type of system that is common in beach houses, with a little more detail and finesse,’ she says. Clean, simple, understated. We love this one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612224512319-GHH62DX31L37APTUX3CT/Screen+Shot+2021-02-01+at+4.08.01+PM.png Blog - My 5 favorite things this week. A modern beach house + my 1 pot chili recipe + how to give your home a flash makeover. - My Favorite Chopper Ok, I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this little chopper! If you love to cook you know that chopping takes time and I don’t know about you but I don’t always have the time! It chops all my onions, celery, carrots and garlic, you can even make pico directly in it. She is a powerful little thing. It also comes with a lid for storage. I bought them for my daughters this year for Christmas and if you spend any time in the kitchen you should do yourself a solid and grab one too! It’s under $20. You can get yours here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612301311348-S15FWLUUTGVNOUFDLP2H/Screen+Shot+2021-02-02+at+1.28.14+PM.png Blog - My 5 favorite things this week. A modern beach house + my 1 pot chili recipe + how to give your home a flash makeover. - Recipe of the Week: One Pot Red Lentil Chili I love this recipe for it’s smoky flavor and not too hot heat. But, I also LOVE it because it’s a one pot recipe from things you probably already have in your pantry. It takes less than one hour to make and you can edit as you see fit. You can add beef or chicken or leave it as is in its vegan glory. If you don’t edit the recipe its V, GF + DF to start with. I usually don’t do all the fancy steps and just throw it all in the pot to simmer. Oh man, your house is about to smell good! I like to create a small topping bar with things such as cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and rice or quinoa for under the chili or Fritos for on top, it’s also great with a large wedge of cornbread topped with honey! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! You’re gonna wanna print this one! You can find the recipe here and adapt it to meet your families needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612302170572-JD48TLPTPB4HJMCWZLVE/image-asset.jpeg Blog - My 5 favorite things this week.

If you feel like you want to spruce up your living environment here are a few fast and low cost ways to do that in one day. You probably already have some great items but they have been stuck in one spot for way to long. Re-arrange your furniture. Think outside the box and move pieces into different rooms and swap out items. Vintage dressers can look great in the entry… Bring the outdoors inside with plants. They offer texture and green life. Set up an entry moment. A bench or console, some hooks and baskets, fresh flowers, framed art or a mirror welcomes you and your guests warmly. Gather up your accessories and re accessorize your space, you’d be surprised what just moving accessories around can do! Swap out pillows and throws for new life to any room. Fill baskets with extra blankets and pillows. Stack books in two’s or three’s and top it with a plant or ornamental object and you’re golden! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612298753379-ZX735XKMJ31LT3ZPD7D3/Screen+Shot+2021-02-02+at+12.45.29+PM.png Blog - My 5 favorite things this week. A modern beach house + my 1 pot chili recipe + how to give your home a flash makeover. - Product of the Week: I love containers, like A LOT! I’m not sure why but containers really get me excited to organize. If you can’t get excited to organize maybe you should take a little trip to The Container Store, or you can also just call me! Typically in the pantry we go for water hyacinth baskets mostly because they are sturdy, give a softer look and the label tags work SO well. But, these gorgeous pantry baskets from The Container Store are giving us all the feels this week. They are also reinforced and so darn gorgeous! I am excited to use them on an upcoming project! You can get yours here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1612221993278-2K6XA2KNZBFNHWM9FGLT/svg-9b3a9cb0-74ab-4530-a8d9-f67cf2d5b901-4d997c14-e0dc-4cd1-8f4f-d663e349d436.png Blog - My 5 favorite things this week.

Avocado oil 3/4c. Veganaise or Mayo 6 cloves of garlic ( I use the jarred minced garlic) 1/4c. nutritional yeast Salt, pepper, onion powder 2 bags of original Right Rice. You can use quinoa or regular rice as well. (But, the Right Rice is so good and packed w/ power). Preheat oven to 375 and line a cookie sheet with parchment. Layer the sweet potatoes, brussels and zucchini on pan, drizzle with avocado oil and generously salt and pepper, then roast for 30 min or until tender and slightly crisp. Meanwhile cook the rice. In a separate pan sauté the onion, mushroom and half the garlic with some avo oil and season with garlic powder and pepper. For the Avo Sauce: In a bowl or blender ( I use my VitaMix) add three ripe avocados, 3/4c. Veganaise, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp. sriracha, and 1/4c. nutritional yeast. Mix until smooth, add water if too think. When veggies are done. Grab a bowl and layer with rice, veggies from cookie sheet, sautéed onion and mushroom mixture and a generous dollop of avo sauce.

Same idea as last week. This time I used one of the new wood acacia chargers from Hearth and Hand, you can get yours here. Added a few small hand towels, a rope ball for texture, a room spray and greens in an amber bottle, AND of course my new Jeremiah Brent green glass soap dispensers that I am IN LOVE with!

The new line at Grove designed by Jeremiah Brent is so gorgeous and has such an organic feel. I added a few of the items from the line to my order and I’m so glad I did! His soap refills are void of plastic and the glass dispensers are so pretty! I use my grove order for things like chemical free dishwashing detergent, no bleach organic kitchen sponges, hand soaps and re-usable storage bags. Grove has a huge assortment to choose from, you can order clean beauty products, household products, kids and baby, and even pet products. This company really inspired me to take stock of our home and slowly start replacing chemical heavy items with non-toxic products and move away from plastic altogether, because change starts at home! It is a subscription service but you are always in control. You can build a more sustainable home here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1611097150590-I2LDTKFSMJ1JB56GTOL3/Screen+Shot+2021-01-19+at+2.58.44+PM.png Blog - My 5 Favorite Things… (Trend forecasting + more) - Recipe of the Week: One-Pot Pumpkin Yellow Curry. This is a go to recipe for me and everyone goes back for seconds, or thirds! It’s packed full of veggies and the flavor rivals your favorite Thai spot for sure. I often substitute the pumpkin for butternut squash and you can even buy it pre-cut, making dinner prep a little easier. I also like to add a spoonful of thai chili paste for a little spice. The original recipe comes from my favorite Vegan, The Minimalist Baker, she recently added some non-plant based recipes to her site as well. Annnd, if she can make a non-vegan ask for this for dinner when they visit, I can only imagine that her non-vegan recipes are incredible too! You can check her out and grab the recipe here. Yum! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1611175404535-XBOPZV4HYEYQLJXMDGNV/image-asset.jpeg Blog - My 5 Favorite Things… (Trend forecasting + more) - Styling Tip: I get a lot of compliments on my simple sink styling (or I did before the pandemic) and I like to change it up just a little every now and then. This time I used my new Grove order. I like to use a long wooden board like this one for drama, and my new green glass decanter from Jeremiah Brent looks so naturally gorgeous here. A small faux fern and a natural stone plate elevate the scene. Simple, takes 5 minutes and makes a beautiful statement at your sink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1611096659104-8NS458E2LT9JMR7YOLL2/Screen+Shot+2021-01-19+at+2.43.37+PM.png Blog - My 5 Favorite Things… (Trend forecasting + more) - Product of the Week: Marie Kondo + The Container Store are a match made in organizing heaven!

Italian Seasoning & another 2 T. for ricotta mixture 1 bay leaf (remove from sauce before assembly) Salt and pepper to taste 1 container of Follow your heart shredded parmesan 2 containers of Kite Hill non dairy ricotta 1 package Daiya Mozzarella Shreds 2 packages of Barilla Gluten Free no-bake lasagna noodles Instructions: Heat large pot, once hot add avocado oil and chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until clear and then add all the ground beyond meat. Blend and season with cinnamon, garlic powder, celery salt, paprika, cumin, pepper and generously season with Italian seasoning. Once meat is cooked add all three jars of sauce and season to taste. (I usually add more Italian seasoning). While that simmers, in a large bowl add two containers of ricotta and the whole container of shredded parmesan. Salt and pepper to taste, and 2 T. of Italian seasoning. Blend well. In a 9x13 pan cover bottom with some sauce and your first layer of noodles. Cover noodles generously with sauce. (This sauce is what will cook your noodles). Then dollop your ricotta mixture on top of noodles, only using half. Blend around the surface. It’s ok, if it gets mixed together with the sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped basil and repeat for another layer. Once both layers are complete add a third layer of noodles and the rest of the sauce. Making sure the noodles are covered well in sauce otherwise you will have tough noodles. :) Sprinkle the top generously with the mozzarella shreds and seal tightly with tinfoil. It may feel like it’s going to overflow (but it won’t) so place the 9x13 on a cookie sheet to keep your oven clean. Bake at 425 for 40 min. Remove foil and bake another 15 min. Let rest on counter for 15 min before serving. Enjoy! You just had a plant based lasagna and no one will ever no the difference! :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee161b725c3bd3bf4df57b8/1610665516022-VDPG2TS0RZ5N6KR58I1L/Bar+Cart+2.jpg Blog - My 5 Favorite Things This Week.
