steamy aromatics

In need of a spa day? Aren’t we all. With the U.S. Elections tomorrow… this week… who-knows-how-long, stop by your local farmers market or flower stand and pick up a fresh bunch of blue eucalyptus. Eucalyptus leaves are known to promote relaxation, and also help relieve cold symptoms. When hung in your shower, the steam from your hot water helps release its aromas and will give a you a spa-like sensation every time. Plus it looks super cute and adds some greenery.

splurge or steal

I love a good room divider. They’re so great in rooms where you have the space to create some separation without the intrusiveness of a wall. You can create an area to read, relax, put your kids (or friends) on time out… the possibilities are endless. Or if you live in a studio, it gives off the feeling of having more than one room.

splurge or steal

Back when the Rachel Zoe Project was on TV, I was obsessed with anything and everything RZ. One of my favorite things she did on her blog was “save or splurge,” “splurge or steal,” something of the sort. Naturally, we all instinctually want the splurge, it’s just not always attainable.

So here is my version, for home. Natural fiber striped rug…

wall so hard

As my new Instagram friend Arlyn Hernandez wrote last week, “I’m tired of vanilla.” AMEN, girl… A-men! The white wall, white home, all white everything fad is done (I mean it’s not, it’s not done at all, but I’d sorta like it to be). Let’s paint, let’s wallpaper, let’s add… wait for it… Color! You don’t live in an insane asylum (although some of us pry should). The end of 2018 is near, so let’s mix it up and have some fun, mmm k?

to the window... TO THE WALL ⚡️

On the hunt for unique-looking wall hooks, I stumbled across these super fun, funky, solid oak Lucie Kaas wall hooks. From Ziggy Stardust to Salvador Dali, Coco Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld, and a pirate to a thief, these hooks are perfect for adding a hint of quirk to any room. If only there was a Vin Scully…

find of the week

Interior lighting is one of the most important features of your home. Bad lighting - is simply - the worst. If I could afford to be boujee enough to install lighting in every drawer or cabinet upon opening, well, I one-hundred percent would. That, my friends, is goals af.

Snooping around on Amazon (per usu), I found this light fixture that would work great for a closet, half bathroom, pantry, or hallway, for only $18.65. And if you order today, it'll arrive by Sunday... Because Amazon Prime is life. Match it with a round bulb (as shown) or an Edison bulb and voila.
