Guys.

It happened. I passed my test. Finally.


This is why I will be MIA this week. I’ve been celebrating nonstop – it feels really special when I can’t even count the amount of people that want to take me out to do just that on one hand. It’s been an amazing few days, so I just wanted to pop in to let you all know what’s been going on, and of course, to share my excitement.

Guys, never give up if you really want something.
I can’t stress that enough. You will have to work hard & sacrifice a lot, but it will be worth it.

 

I Miss Outfit Posts!

 


Just a quick little note to let you all know that I miss outfit posts terribly! For those of you that are not in the know, I fractured my foot almost 5 weeks ago. It’s been a process that included me being in a cast for 2 weeks, and now a bootie for 4 additional weeks. Good news is that I can take it off in a week and then come back full force with outfit posts. I’ve wanted to take some with the bootie in tow, but it just doesn’t feel the same.

I hope you’ve missed them just as much as I have, and I promise you they’ll be better than ever once I have all limbs back in functioning order. Three cheers for that!

Happy Hump Day: Christian Göran

I guess it makes me a hipster if I tell you that I love a boy with a beard?
So be it. It’s true. Beards definitely do it for me and I always insist the hubs rocks one whenever possible (still wish he wouldn’t have shaved for our wedding – hmph). I stumbled on this gorgeous male model while on the pinterest, and funny enough, my hubs was the one that discovered who he was for me so that I could feature him here. He truly is the best Melificent VP ever. Always willing to search hot dudes for me. Yep, he’s a keeper.

Master Bedroom Redo

Is it possible to nest without being pregnant?
This is what I’ve been asking myself since I decided 2013 would be the year that we would start phase 2 of home renovations/remodeling/general facelifts. Although I feel like our house is definitely a home, we want it to portray more of our personalities, so we are looking for more art for the walls, spunkier furniture and accessories to spruce things up a bit in certain rooms.

I am currently focusing on the living room, but the bedroom is next up on the plate. Right now, our bedroom is very dark and masculine. Basically: not us. We wanted to make it a little lighter and brighter, and the hubs has been nice enough to let me add some more feminine touches. Here is a guide I’ve been working with to try and decide on aesthetic and I decided to share it with all of you in case you are also looking for something similar for any room in your home; new or old.

So back to that question. Nesting: only a phenomenon while pregnant? I vote no. What do you think?

Lovable Friday

1. DIY Desk Organizer

For all of us that have an ::ahem:: love of writing instruments, it can tend to get out of hand. Case in point: I am currently looking at about 15 pens and pencils cluttering my supposed dining room table centerpiece tray. That is definitely not where they belong, and it is flat out embarrassing. That’s why I love this super easy DIY consisting of toilet paper rolls and an old shoe box. Hello! Adorable pen/pencil/marker holder that will no longer leave you ashamed in no time!
