Let’s talk sustainability!! It seems kind of contradictory to do a blog post about my favorite sustainable purchases from Amazon but that’s a whole other beast haha. Bear with me! At the beginning of quarantine, I bought some reusable bamboo napkins because finding paper towels was proving to be a challenge. I realized that investing in those ($16 for 10) was basically the same price as buying one bundle of paper towels, but the napkins were going to last me for years! This inspired me to…
Hi guys! In case you missed it, Parker (my boyfriend) moved in with me last month! At this point, he’s all settled in, but now that my spare bedroom is our office/gym/guest bedroom, we still have lots to do on that room. I wanted to do a blog post about moving in with your boyfriend because honestly there aren’t a lot of resources out there when I was looking for tips and guidance before he moved in. For example, places like Buzzfeed and Cosmo have articles…
Hey guys! After sharing an update on my Low-Cost Owner’s Suite Bathroom Update, I figured I should also share how I did an affordable powder bath update (for around $300!) I bought a condo in January, and even though it’s in great shape, all of the fixtures are builder-grade and old and very “blah.” See the before pic below on the left – so boring!! I knew wanted to do an accent wall behind the mirror, and originally I wanted to do a geometric tile (like…
As some of you may know, I bought a condo in January! The condo is in really great shape, but one of the projects I wanted to tackle early on was the downstairs master bath. It is super roomy (pic below from when the house was first listed) but everything was out-dated and it only had one sink. It was my goal to finish a low-cost owner’s suite bathroom update by the end of quarantine! I knew I wanted to replace the entire vanity and add…
Life update – I bought a condo!!!!! AND I’m mostly moved in and settled at this point, so it feels sooooo good to be “home.” My roommate and I moved in Friday, January 24th with the help of Muscular Moving Men and we didn’t have to move a freakin’ FINGER. I worked with other movers in the past who didn’t properly wrap our furniture and who weren’t careful and caused damages to our walls when moving furniture. These guys, on the other hand, disassembled large furniture…
Hi friends (and dog lovers)! Becca & Jojo here wishing you a happy new year! I’ve gotten a few questions on what I do with Jojo during the day, and what my favorite options are for doggie daycare. We’re lucky in Phoenix because there are TONS of great options, but one of my favorites has been Dogtopia in Arcadia (32nd St & Indian School in Phoenix) for a multitude of reasons. One of the main things I look for in a dog care center for Jojo…
I’ve wanted to go to Seattle for years now, and this year we finally made it happen! Since we went in the off-season (mid-December) there were hardly any tourists which was great. While the weather was cold, it hardly rained so we were basically able to walk everywhere which was great! Read below for more details about our stay in Seattle! xx Our Stay At The Kimpton Palladian Hotel We checked into the Palladian Hotel on Thursday night and had SUCH an amazing stay. I really…
Hi friends! I can’t believe I haven’t done a blog post about Jojo yet!!!! Omg! While she 100% deserves her own introduction post, I wanted to put together a list of puppy essentials that you’ll need if you’re bringing home a pup. I’ve gotten a few questions about this stuff, so I figured I’d try to publish it this first, and then I’ll do a post on Jojo’s story later. In addition to the obvious food, water, and lots of TREATS (when Jojo was v smol…
Hey guys! It’s finally FALL!! This is my favorite time of the year. The weather finally starts to cool off in Arizona and life seems to slow down a bit before the holidays. It’s been a minute since I’ve talked about skincare, and I wanted to touch on tips for brightening your skin! It’s so much safer to treat dark spots in the winter because one of the main causes of dark spots on our skin is the sun. Plus, many of the treatments that help…
Hey guys!! Happy Wednesday. I’ve been sharing my super easy kale & salmon salad recipe on my Instagram Stories and got a lot of questions about it, so I thought I’d finally write up a post with the step by step instructions and all the ingredients linked. It literally takes 10 MINUTES (!!) to make, and requires little prep. I find myself making it a lot during the week because it’s so easy and healthy. See below for the full break down! It’s an easy salad…
