I moved this weekend…from one building to another within my same apartment complex. Yes, I packed up every single thing I own, filled in the holes in the wall, scrubbed my old apartment clean, loaded up truckload after truckload of my belongings only to move into another apartment that is quite literally a hop, skip, and [Continue Reading…]
7 Great Things To Have When You Live Alone
Ahh, living alone. It’s great, isn’t it? I absolutely love it. Of course, I share my space with Charley, but his eight pound frame is hardly intrusive. Plus, he’s never too loud and only has a couple of toys to make a mess with. I’ve found the following items extremely useful in my apartment over the [Continue Reading…]
Ikea Malm Dresser Hack (Makeover)
This is kind of embarrassing to tell you the truth. I’ve been talking about updating my bedroom since July, in this post. After that post, I wrote a few days later about my plans to buy an Ikea dresser and “hack it” (make it over). Then August came and went. Then September. Then October. Now, [Continue Reading…]
DIY Prayer Chalkboard
In this season of Thanksgiving, I’ve spent some time reflecting on the past year, and the degree to which I am blessed has struck me.

Why You Need To Learn To Forgive Yourself
I walk into my apartment, tripping over two pairs of shoes. Looking around, I sigh at the random piles of laundry haphazardly cluttering my carpeted floor. Saturday’s outfit in the corner, Sunday’s outfit by the sofa. When did I even wear those jeans? There’s a half-constructed Ikea dresser laying in the middle of the living room, [Continue Reading…]
Update on Decorating My Bedroom (ahem, eating my elephant)
If you’re new around these parts–WELCOME! Before reading this post, however, you may want to check out this one. Let me refresh your memory…this was the state of my bedroom about a month ago. Cute headboard. Everything else was pretty much a mismatched mess. Certainly a far cry from the cozy seaside villa I dreamed [Continue Reading…]
9 Kitchen Essentials for the Twenty-Something
I felt like I had a fair amount of kitchen tools until I moved into my apartment and started to unpack. It went a little like this…”Oh yeah, the colander was one of my roommates’–riiight, the blender was another one’s–the baking dish wasn’t even mine?” It felt a bit like starting over. Over the past [Continue Reading…]
How Green is my Thumb?
I’ve never really planted anything. But, now that I’m in my own apartment, I feel like I should see if I can make things grow or if there’s a reason why planting in my life has been restricted to Jessica Day and smooching my man. So, while I walked through heaven on earth Target, I [Continue Reading…]
How to Organize the INSIDE of Your Shower
A lot of people spend a lot of time and a lot of money organizing their bathrooms. (Like me, for example.) But we neglect to organize a pretty huge part of the bathroom–the inside of our showers! And you know what I think? I think we should. Maybe I’ll take it to the next level [Continue Reading…]
Plans to Hack (Makeover) the Ikea Malm Dresser
I wrote the other day about my big plans to creaste a seaside villa paradise in my bedroom. I’ve been scouring the internet for inspiration, because the place where I sleep is an extremely important one. I can’t decide if its importance is tied with the kitchen or higher or lower–I’m leaning towards tied. I [Continue Reading…]
