A LITTLE (NOT SO FUN) ANNOUNCEMENT: SEPTOPLASTY

Hey guys! I hope you're having a fabulous week so far! Today, I just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow afternoon I will be having a septoplasty / sinus surgery to fix my deviated septum and do other various things to my nose so that I can breathe normally. Right now I can barely breathe through my right nostril and I get about a hundred sinus infections a year so this has been a long time coming.

I wanted to let you know because I may be a little MIA on here (though I am going to try and schedule a few posts for the week) and on Youtube, and I will be putting my Etsy shop in vacation mode for a little while (maybe up to a week?). I really don't know what to expect because I have done hours of Internet / social media searches (typical me) and some people say that it is the worst experience of their lives and others say it really isn't too bad.

Unfortunately, there is no way to put my boutique in vacation mode so if you are planning to place an order on there, it may take slightly longer than usual for it to get to you (although I'm hoping it won't!). Luckily, being nose surgery, I will be able to be up and moving around once I feel better and am no longer heavily medicated so hopefully I will be able to be back to work fairly soon. I'll definitely be back to filling orders and blogging probably a week before I'm back to vlogging because it will take a little longer for my swelling to go down and such and I don't want to scare any of my Youtube followers - ha!

If you have recently placed an order, don't worry! I am getting all of the orders filled down to the last second before I put my shop in vacation mode and made-to-order items will have been sent to the printers already.

So, that's what's going on with me! Pray for me tomorrow if you think of it! I'm a little nervous...

FASHION FRIDAY: SPRING FASHION HAUL!

Happy "Fashion Friday"! Since yesterday was the first day of spring, I thought I would share some of the items that I have purchased over the past couple of months in preparation for spring time. The weather right now is kinda funny: some days it's warm and very "springy" but then other days, it's freezing cold. So, some of these items are a little on the cold-weather side, but overall, these are some great layering / transition pieces as it starts to get warmer. You will definitely be seeing these mixed into future "Fashion Friday" outfits on the blog and Youtube channel so stay tuned for that. :)

If you would like to see this haul in detail, check out the video below. I have also listed the links for each item at the bottom of the post so you can shop your favorites. Have a great weekend! xo!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.

You guys know my love for puns! :) Today I just wanted to share a super quick update that we made to the house recently, the front door!

I don't have any "before" pictures for you, but just know that the outside of the door was already black, but it was a dull black and it was super dirty so it needed painted either way. Inspired by some glossy door pictures I found on Pinterest, I decided to paint it a high gloss black and add a monogram door knocker (how cute is that??), and go ahead and paint the inside the same color for a little drama.

Our house can have a tendency to feel a little blah in terms of charm, so I feel like the dark door adds that a bit. It is something really quick and easy that has a big effect (only took me one day). Here are some more black door photos for inspiration:
