Forbes Top Home Influencers List 2017

Forbes just announced their top global influencers for 2017 last week and guess who made it onto their top 10 in the home category? That’s right! This girl right here. Pretty excited about it! I never really thought I could say that I made it onto a Forbes top ten list, but excuse me while I go check that off the ole’ bucket list 😉 I still can’t believe it! Take a look at the other super, talented influencers on the list too – such a talented group of people, don’t you agree? And if you’re curious to know how they determined their top influencers here’s a good read for you!

My Home | Mudroom Organization with OSH

This post is sponsored by orchard supply hardware.

If you haven’t noticed yet, I’ve been on a home decorating kick lately. It’s funny, but it always seems to take about a year of living in a house for me to really get inspired on how to furnish and decorate the space. I really like to get to know a house and how we live in it before I know what the home needs, in terms of furniture, changes or decor. Today I’m going to show you our mudroom. It’s a small room right off the entryway and open to the kitchen. When we first moved in, I had grand plans of making it a breakfast nook, but that changed pretty fast. It’s now a major workhorse in our home. One side serves as an extension to our kitchen and the other serves as our mudroom.

Designer Destination | Coachman Hotel

We took advantage of the holiday last week and decided to get some snow fun in. Arden had ski week (the whole week off) so we packed our bags and headed off to Tahoe. This time we decided instead of hitting up our usual destination, we’d mix it up a bit and stay in South Lake Tahoe. I had heard of a gorgeous (yet reasonably priced!!!) hotel there called the Coachman. After seeing pics of it, I just new I had to stay there.

My Home | My Dining Room

It’s been awhile since I’ve shown you a glimpse of the dining room. You saw a good glimpse of it in my We Heart It for Heart Day party, but I wanted to create a post with all of the sources for you. It’s definitely a work in progress still, but it’s fun to watch it progress.

Our 2016 Family Photos and Holiday Cards with Minted

We just got our Christmas cards from Minted to mail out and I wanted to share them with you! Last year we took our family photos at our cabin in Tahoe and we loved how the pictures turned out, so we decided to take them there again this year. I found a local Tahoe photographer, Brandi at Indigo Photography, to work with and she made the session so easy and fun. We took the pics at our annual friendsgiving weekend and so she was able to take our pics and some of our friend’s pictures as well. Win, win!

We went with Minted again to print our holiday cards because of their amazing selection of designs. There are so many great looking designs to choose from and they’re all fully customizable. For instance, if there a card design that you like and it says “Merry Christmas”, you can change it to say “Happy Holidays”. Easy peasy. Also another thing about Minted that I love is that I can have them print out all of the envelope addresses for me. Perfect way to make that pretty card complete is with a matching, just as pretty, printed envelope in a matching style. I used their concierge service last year and I’ll never go back! Oh and did I mention? We got matching STAMPS too?! You can’t get much better than that, right? Minted has thought of it all.

Here are our cards and some of our favorites pictures from our photo session with Brandi:

Happy Halloween!

What to pack for camping

We’ve had a pretty great fall season over here in Northern California. Lots of good camping to be had and now that we’re in winter-mode, I really feel like I have my camping packing list down. I always used to struggle with what to bring camping, I know I’m not alone! I either didn’t pack enough or I packed way, way too much. So I figured I’d share with you, all of my must-haves when we go glamping/camping, some of which I found out about from my friends, who run a glamping location you can check out at https://whitehouseonwye.co.uk/. We went to Tahoe the week before last and I figured I’d take some fun pictures of my camping set up for you all.

Organic Makeup Daytime Look with Juice Beauty

We’re venturing off into something a little different today. If you’ve been a blog follower for long, you’ll know that I like to live consciously, aka eco-friendly, aka green. I’ve talked about my skincare routine before, and today, I thought it would be fun to bring you my easy daytime makeup routine, all organic of course 😉 I’ve just recently started using Juice Beauty’s new makeup line. They released their makeup products less than a year ago actually, and already they’ve become a staple around here. The foundation and concealer products work better than any I’ve tried! Each product is so moisturizing and nourishing for my (naturally dry skin). I’m not usually a big fan of makeup because I can feel it just sitting like a layer of paint on my face; not so with these! I no longer feel like I’m clogging my pores with toxic makeup. So I reached out to Juice Beauty to collaborate on this post (and giveaway) for you guys. I highly recommend, love (and USE) their makeup.

My Bathroom Declutter

In my downtime I’ve been slowly trying to go through and organize our “hidden” storage areas: closets, basement, cabinets, etc. Everything is pretty much unpacked since our move, but lots of things were unpacked and just thrown in closets or shelves. And there they’ve sat…for me to agonize over late at night when I’m trying to go to sleep 😉 SO I’m trying to be proactive about it and to take it one step at a time. Organize, purge and rearrange until I’m happy that we only have what we need and the chaos has been tamed. Then I move on to the next one…it’s a dirty cycle. Literally.

So for today’s post I thought I show you the bathroom linen closet. This is like the bottomless pit of products. It’s a decent size and pretty much our only bathroom storage since we have a pedestal sink. So it’s definitely a catchall…kind of like the kitchen junk drawer (next project maybe???). I thought it would be fun to make a video of the whole process showing you the before and after…and everything in-between. This turned out to be a long post, but as the list of products in the bathroom got smaller, the length of this post got longer 😉 Bear with me!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shopping

It’s that time again: Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is LIVE! The Anniversary Sale is Nordstrom’s best. sale. of the year. Hands down. Want to know why? Because they actually discount new releases and popular products – so different from sales that are just trying to get rid of stale merchandise. I know most of you have heard the hype already and tons of you have already shopped the pre-sale with your Nordstrom credit card, amiright? I know I did! Whoopsies 😉 I braved the crowds and went to my local store last week and came home with most of the goodies I had my eye on. AND what I couldn’t find in-store I bought online. Here are all of the items I either purchased or had on my wish list.
