Pantone App Color Palette

I’ve been subjecting my camera roll to #colorpaletting (coined by Jenny Walton) via the Pantone app. It’s surprisingly addictive.

Earlier this week, Ashley of The Gold Hive urged readers to think about their home decisions as if they were bloggers and justifying their reasoning to their readers. Even if I weren’t already a blogger (sort of; we know how my commitment has been lately!), I think it’s a smart approach to thinking about the “why” of what we do — be it in our homes or wardrobes.

Casual chitchat can actually help you get what you want.

I stopped by Target yesterday and they were putting out holiday decorations, so obviously I need to go back today and scope it out. I have my eye on these cute mini ornaments (love the color scheme) and this tree skirt.

A good reminder to do your research before committing to an Airbnb location.

A look at overtourism in Iceland and how it’s anything but an authentic experience. I’m certainly guilty of wanting to visit a location due to picture-perfect Instagrams, but I try not to treat a location like a highlight reel. It’s a big part of why we stay for at least a week in one location, frequenting our new-found favorite restaurants and watering holes. It feels more authentic than just running around with a checklist of must-sees and moving on to the next country or city.

This sparkly sweater is perfect for the holiday season!

We came across egg noodles in our pantry yesterday, which prompted us to make beef stroganoff last night. I never cared for the meal that much, likely because I don’t like cream of mushroom soup, so I searched online to find a recipe to try that skips condensed soup. This one was a hit. I added a large shallot to the recipe and skipped the parsley.

I’m ashamed by how much this cat video makes me laugh.

Finds Under $50:

  • I’m a sucker for a good cocktail glass and this one is gorgeous. Give a set of four or six for the holidays!
  • A pair of beautiful smoky quartz earrings.
  • Snag this ’70s-inspired shimmery dress for the holiday season. It also comes in plus sizes!
  • A plaid scarf is a perennial favorite!
  • Hands down, this is the best winter candle. I bought one a couple of years ago and it’s still one of my favorites. It also makes a great gift!

Earlier This Week:

  • This week’s “The Coveted” is pretty much my entire fall wish list.
  • What I bought in October.

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
