I have always loved Interior Design! I actually worked as in Interior Design for 5 years before quitting to work as a full time blogger and influencer. Creating mood boards was always one of my favorite tasks as a designer. They are such a great way of visualizing your ideas for a space. I thought it would be fun to share my mood boards with you guys as well as some of my favorite finds from Amazon. Mid-century modern is my favorite design style and Amazon actually has a lot of selections for it!

While visiting my best friend Elle in Florida, we decided to take a road trip to New Orleans for the weekend! I have always wanted to visit New Orleans so I’m really glad I got the chance to visit with Elle. It was a super quick trip but we manage to squeeze in so much! New Orleans is such a cool city with so much culture and color around every corner. It’s one of those cities that has something beautiful to photograph everywhere. Totally Instagram worthy! 😉 In this blog post, I’m sharing where we stayed, ate, and the places we visited.

I recently got back from a trip to Pensacola, Florida to visit my friend Elle. Elle has been my best friend for over 12 years but she is in the Air Force so we only get to see each other about once a year and mainly stay in touch by phone. She was stationed in Pensacola for some training so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend some time together! I wanted to share some of my favorite things we did and restaurants that we ate at while in Pensacola.

Now that I am a full time blogger/content creator working from home, I have trouble stepping away from work to focus on dinner. (Trust me I’m working on it!) I’ve always believed in eating healthy; home cooked meals. It’s easy to decide to go out for dinner or eat fast food when your busy, but the truth is that it’s not very good for you. I think it’s so important to know exactly what’s in the food that your eating. That’s why I’m thrilled that I’ve found Village Harvest!

Recently I got the chance to visit the Centrl Eastside office in downtown Portland. Centrl is a co-working shared office and work space. The offices are located on the first three floors of Slate, a housing and workplace collaboration. I’ve always loved the idea of a shared office space. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for The Urban Darling as my business grows. I love being able to work from home but sometimes it would be nice to have an office to go to everyday to separate work from my personal life.

Getting a Lash Lift at Lash & Beauty Lab

By on April 25, 2018

I have been wanting to get my eyelashes lifted for so long now and I finally got them done at Lash & Beauty Lab in downtown Portland. Just a little back story on my eyelashes; I do have long lashes however they do not hold a curl. When I use a mechanical curler, my eyelashes will fall out of the curl in about an hour. Mascara works a bit better but I’ve never been able to find the perfect one for my lashes. I first heard about lash lifts from a Youtuber that I follow and I thought it would be the perfect solution for me! I thought I would put together this blog post for those of you who who may be interested in getting a lash lift.

Rocio and I got the chance to go glamping at The Vintages in Dayton, OR. You guys, this vintage trailer resort is the CUTEST glamping spot. We had so much fun getting dressed up in vintage inspired outfits (of course), hanging out in our trailer, and riding cruiser bikes. The Vintages are about an hour from our home in Portland so it was the perfect weekend getaway! Rocio and I both love photography and videography so we took advantage of the cute surroundings. I’m so excited to share these photos with you!
