Hey there, Besties! 🌟✨
I've been up to a little DIY magic in our bathroom lately, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Say goodbye to the old towel rack and hello to charming towel hooks! 🛠️🛁
It all started with a spark of inspiration - and yes, you guessed it, Pinterest was the culprit! Isn't Pinterest just the ultimate treasure trove of ideas? I love how it turns my whims into visual feasts. 📌💡
Stylish Towel Hooks: A Pinterest-Inspired Change
As I scrolled through Pinterest, mesmerized by endless styling options, I stumbled upon the idea of replacing traditional towel racks with hooks. And, oh, what a fabulous idea it turned out to be! The more I explored, the more I knew that towel hooks were a must for our primary bath. They seemed so effortlessly chic and, lucky for a DIY enthusiast like me, incredibly easy to install. 😍
Finding the Perfect Hooks
The stars of this little bathroom revamp? Adorable silver arrow coat hooks from Pat Catan's. They're not just hooks; they're tiny pieces of art! And here's a fun tidbit - living in a wood house has its perks. I easily attached these beauties directly to our wood walls, no fuss, no muss. 🏹✨
Having wood walls is like a DIY dream. It lets me shuffle things around without turning the walls into Swiss cheese (trust me, after patching countless holes in drywall at the Kay House Reno, I appreciate this feature more than ever!).
A Small Change with Big Impact
I'm over the moon with how this project turned out. It's a testament to how small changes can make a big difference. And for someone who usually goes all out, I adore the simplicity and elegance these hooks brought to our space. They're practical and cute and add that little extra 'oomph' to our bathroom.
Stay tuned for more DIY adventures and home styling tips, Besties! Remember, it's the little things that often bring the most joy. 🌈💕

Hey there, Besties! 🌟✨
So, here's a little confession: I've never really been a 'houseplant person.' Sure, I love dabbling in my garden and decorating with mums in the fall, but indoor plants? That's a whole different story. Growing up, my mom's house was like a mini-jungle, but me? Not so much.
But guess what? Life has a funny way of surprising us, and I've found myself nurturing a houseplant! Yes, me! 🌱
Introducing my Ace of Hearts Anthurium! This little gem entered my life quite unexpectedly. Picture this: it's just after Valentine's Day, and James and I are at Aldi. Amidst some forlorn Valentine's bouquets, there was this quirky, cool-looking Anthurium. And you know what's rare? James and I both instantly fell for it! 🌺
Now, if James and I agree on something that quickly, it's like spotting a unicorn – we just have to go for it! So we brought this little Ace of Hearts home, unsure what to expect.
I'll be honest; I was a bit skeptical. Plants can be so finicky, right? But, to my delight (and a bit of surprise), this Anthurium is not just surviving but thriving! A month in, and it's still going strong. Who knew?
This led me to a Google deep-dive on Anthurium care (never thought I'd be doing that!), and, brace yourselves, I might even have to repot it someday. The thought alone is both thrilling and terrifying!
For anyone who is curious or looking to start their own Anthurium journey, I'm dropping some helpful links below. It turns out they're pretty low-maintenance – perfect for plant newbies like me.

And while we're chatting about plants, I'd love to hear from you! What are your favorite houseplants, especially for someone who's just dipping their toes into the indoor plant world? Let me know in the comments!
Can't wait to share my one-year Anthurium update – stay tuned! 🌿

Hey Besties! 🌟✨
I'm super excited to share a little secret with you all - I've been whipping up some absolutely delish protein shakes lately! Now, I'm no stranger to protein shakes, but let's just say my taste buds, and I have had our ups and downs with them. That was until I discovered Orgain Protein powder - a game changer, especially for those like me who sometimes do a little dance with dairy sensitivity.
Picture this: I'm rummaging through my kitchen cupboard, and what do I find? A tub of PBfit! I thought, why not jazz up my protein shake routine? Spoiler alert: it was a peanut buttery slice of heaven!
So, let me spill the beans (or should I say the powder?) on these protein-packed concoctions. Feel free to play around with the kinds of milk, fruits, and creamers - it's your shake, your rules!
Coffee Protein Shake
- 2 scoops Orgain Vanilla Bean
- 1 cup brewed coffee (chilled because we're cool like that)
- A dash of coffee creamer (for a little extra pizzazz)
- A dozen ice cubes (or, as I like to call them, chill pills)
Just blend it all up until it's as smooth as our crafting skills!
Fruit Protein Shake
- 2 scoops Orgain Vanilla Bean
- 1 cup Coconut Milk (because we're all about that tropical vibe)
- 1 cup Wellness Blend frozen fruit (shoutout to Aldi!)
Blend, baby, blend! Until it's as colorful as our DIY projects.
Coffee & Peanut Butter Shake
- 2 Tablespoons PBfit (peanut butter paradise, here we come!)
- 1 cup brewed coffee (chilled, again, because we're cool)
- A dash of coffee creamer (because why not?)
- A dozen ice cubes (our frosty friends)
Blend it up until it's as smooth as our latest thrift store find!
And there you have it, my dear friends - my top three protein shake recipes that are as fun to make as they are to drink! I'll share more of my shake adventures on Instagram, so be sure to catch them in my stories.
Stay creative and healthy, my friends! 🌍✨🥤

Hey there, Besties! 🌟
I've got to share this slice of my thrifting life with you – and it's all about a charming wood pineapple that totally captures my heart! 🍍✨
You know me, right? Thrifting isn't just a hobby; it's my lifestyle! Our home is like a gallery of thrifted treasures. From the cozy nook in the living room to the quirky lamp in the hallway, each piece has a story, and more than 99% of them started their tale in a thrift store. 🏡💖
Now, let me tell you about this adorable wood pineapple with a removable lid and leaves. It's not just a piece; it's a conversation starter! I stumbled upon this gem while out and about on my thrift adventures.
My love for thrift shopping blossomed with the Habitat For Humanity ReStore opening in our area. Picture this: we had just gotten our new, larger home, and the ReStore became our go-to spot for all things home improvement. It's amazing how a place can inspire and fulfill your needs, right?
From there, my journey took me to yard sales – and oh, the joy of town-wide sales! Every yard sale sign is like a beacon, calling me to discover the next unique find. And let me tell you, this pineapple was one of those unforgettable finds!
I first shared this pineapple on my Instagram, and the love it received was overwhelming! So, here I am, giving you the full scoop. It's been with us for quite some time, a pre-house treasure. Its unique design with the removable lid and leaves adds such character. Yes, it's missing a leaf, but hey, that's the beauty of thrifted items – perfectly imperfect!
This pineapple adorned our den, which we recently transformed into our primary bedroom. Now, it's found a new home on a quaint desk under our staircase, looking cuter than ever!
So, Besties, stay tuned for more thrilling thrift tales! I've got a trove of finds I'm just itching to share with you. Because what's joy if not shared, right? 🌈💕
