Before I had a Valentine, I would always celebrate Galentine’s Day with friends! Even if you do have a Valentine, it’s always fun to hang out with your best gals and what better way to do that then by celebrating Galentine’s Day! Need some ideas on how to celebrate? I’ve got you covered! 😉
Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate you and your friends and be a little extra during the season of love! In this guide, you will find everything you need to throw the best Galentine’s Day Party ever. I’ve got you covered on everything from decor to party favors, activities, and food!
I love getting gifts for the guys and gals in my life, especially ones that I can buy from the comfort of my home! Some people think that you have to buy extravagant gifts for Valentine’s Day but you should never have to break the bank to show someone you love them. Thoughtful gifts are always the best! So I’ve put together a gift guide with gifts from Amazon Prime all for under $50 for the guy, gal, or bestie in your life!
This past year was full of learning lessons, first accomplishments, and good and bad experiences. Even with the good and the bad, 2018 was a great year and I know 2019 will be even better! I wanted to share some of the new habits and goals I’m starting for the new year. I hope that you guys can find this post helpful and set some goals of your own! Let’s own this year guys!
I found this velvet green number at Target for under $20! I thought it would be perfect to wear for Christmas dinner with my family or maybe even for New Year’s! Schyler and I never really do anything super special for New Year’s. One year we went to a comedy club with my friend Elle and her family before we moved to Portland. A lot of the New Year’s events in the Portland area are super spendy! Maybe we will go to a party at a friend’s house this year.
I love all of the Christmas traditions like sledding, making gingerbread houses, and picking out the perfect tree. Another favorite Christmas tradition of mine is taking annual Christmas photos. This is my fourth Christmas with Schyler! Time flies by so fast, it’s crazy.
I’ve had neck and back pain from a very young age so sleeping comfortably at night has always been a struggle for me. I could never seem to find the right pillow with enough support. For a time, I even slept without a pillow because I just couldn’t find the right type of pillow to elevate my head just right! So when Tempur-Pedic reached out to me to try their new TEMPUR-Cloud pillow, I had high hopes. It’s exceeded my expectations by far!
Beauty does comes from within… but we can all use a little extra help am I right?! Especially during the holiday season! My secret is the NeoCell Super Collagen powder. It helps replenish lost collagen fragments and proteins that are important for beauty, joint health, and skin elasticity. It also increases skin hydration leading to firmer, softer skin. I’ve partnered with NeoCell to try their new Berry Lemon and Flavorless powder. So far I’m loving them!
Recently I did a staycation, at the cutest Portland Airbnb studio. I am not even kidding when I tell you, this studio is my DREAM apartment. I love the open concept of the space, the airy white walls and cabinetry, and the boho feel of the decor. I like to do staycations with Schyler every once in awhile so when I stumbled across this studio on Instagram I knew that I wanted to stay here! It’s nice to get out of our apartment and do something special for us as a couple without having to take a road trip or fly somewhere.
One of the perks of working from home is that you can stop and enjoy an afternoon cocktail whenever you want! I used to reserve cocktail hour for the weekend, but it has been so nice to treat ourselves during the work week. I wanted to share one of my favorite cocktail recipes with you guys today! I made this drink with the help of Santa Margherita.
