Fashion, Home Decor & Clean Beauty Blog based out of Baltimore, MD
This blog post has been a long time coming... every time I sat down to write it I would find a reason not to. Having to go back through the hardest moments of my life was unimaginable even though every day of my life in some way, I think about these moments that have changed my husband and me forever. I wake up struggling in some capacity with everything that has happened every single day. As I …
My husband and I completed our first fixer-upper last year with my family's construction company F.C. Batton & Son, it is a rancher that we completely transformed. We updated the layout and added on to it to increase the square footage along with a full master suite. It has everything we need and we were able to touch every room so we love it but it is a smaller space! So, when thinking about …
Another year, another Norstrom Anniversary sale! There is a lot of hype around this sale but for me, I think less is more. Invest in a few winter pieces while they are on sale, stock up on some beauty products, maybe grab a gift or two for the holidays. There is no need to go crazy or spend money you don't have, there are plenty more sales that happen over the next few months! I have gone through …
In our screened-in porch, we have a big wall that is covered with vertical siding with windows on each side. I have been brainstorming what to do to for a while and I knew I wanted to incorporate plants into it somehow. On Instagram, I got some inspiration from @Melissa.Frusco and put my own spin on it to fit my aesthetic, definitely check out her blog post too! It was very easy and cost right …
I have a vision for our front step area and it is finally coming to life! I decided to make my own flower pots to start the process, they turned out really pretty and cost less than purchasing them already put together. Not to mention it is easy to do and fun to customize the plants you put in it! When picking out the flowers and plant I tried to pick things at different heights, different flower …
Ever since we moved back into our house we have been working so hard to get the outside to match the inside. While in the rental, waiting to move back home, after the fire, we had a lot of time to think about what we wanted to do so we wasted no time getting started. I thought it would be fun to share progress pictures and track the process as we go! The first area we decided to start was the …
As we all take the time to listen and learn from the Black community I have been brainstorming ways that I can be of support in all different areas in my life. In the blogging area of my life, I want to shine a light on Black-owned businesses that are making amazing products! So, as I try new items I will continue to add to this list so it has a permanent place on my blog that you can always refer …
Moving back into our fixer-upper after the electrical fire in November has been a very good distraction from everything going on in the world right now. We were pretty much starting from scratch in terms of items that we need so I am very grateful for Amazon, not sure what I would have done otherwise! I am sharing 9 home items I have purchased recently that we love! They are all very affordable, …
The Sephora sale is here! Over the past few years, I have shopped at Sephora more and more because of their selection of clean beauty items. I really like testing out products and adding new ones to my routine but I feel like I have found some really amazing staples that I use often, repurchase and highly recommend! If you don't have an account with Sephora (just signing up with your email) I …
My husbands birthday is in a few days so I decided to surprise him with a little getaway at the Turf Valley Resort! It is under 30 minutes away from where we live so it was the best staycation to relax, unwind and take a night for just the two of us! As you guys know, these last few months have been very stressful so to be able to take off for less than 24 hours was exactly what we needed! We …
