I don't know about you, but it has already been a week, and it's only Tuesday. The kids are finally back in school, and summer is dunzo, although someone needs to tell Mother Nature because last week was hotter than the surface of the sun here in Chicago. I'm not quite ready for fall, but I am here for 73° temperatures. Let's get into a[...]
Happy Tuesday! In today's Beautiful Distractions, I'm sharing things that have recently arrived on my doorstep, interesting articles I've read, and objects on my wishlist. But, before we get into it if you're having one of those rollercoaster weeks, where everything seems to be going swimmingly, and then suddenly, it all goes to shit..."[...]
I don't know about you, but this week was kinda wacky. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and today, I'm ready to hide under the covers. Kids are sick. The Boy is traveling for work, it's threatening to snow again, and I'm over here treading water but, of course, finding time to peruse the interwebs for entertainment (and save my[...]
It's almost spring which means new spring decor is dropping, and let me tell you, there are some gems right now! Here's what caught my eye this week. The Jake Arnold Collection just dropped at Crate & Barrel, and it is lit! But then again, I would expect nothing less. from Jake. His style runs deep through every detail. The lighting[...]
Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. Have you finished shopping? I think I'm done, and honestly, I'm kinda ready for the holidays to be over and done with. Yup, I've been in a massive funk, kind of grinchy and creatively uninspired...not awesome or productive when you're a content creator and your job is to be creative and inspiring. So[...]
Last week I went to a Tiffany's blue and sparkles-themed birthday party. Since my entire wardrobe is black, white, tan, or navy with zero sparkles...take that back; there is one black sequin tank top. Goth sparkles? There was shopping to be had. Here's what caught my eye. This sequin skirt is now on sale - SHOP IT HERE or SHOP IT[...]
Boy oh boy, it has been entirely too long since I've written a Beautiful Distractions post. My apologies. Summer got the best of me, but that means we've been having fun over here, right? I have been scrolling the interwebs at night and saving fun things that have caught my eye, so here is a huge brain dump of what I'm loving now. Oh, bu[...]
Hi! How are you? I fell a bit out of sorts with this new schedule and installing the new luxury vinyl flooring. Summer is in full swing over here, driving kids to swim lessons and gymnastics camp, but I am beginning to figure out this new schedule. Slowly but surely. If you're ready to take a few minutes of chill time (I know I am), here[...]
Wow, it's been a crazy few weeks. I wound up coming down with Covid, but thankfully with being vaxxed and boosted, I didn't get too sick, and now I just have a lingering cough. It put me behind on the closet makeover, but we're kicking things into high gear over here. These are a few things that caught my eye while quarantined in my bedr[...]
