it’s called a spring washer for a reason

This post is mostly about furniture assembly gone awry. But also other things, because life is weird right now. I'm writing this around 9:30 on Wednesday night. Trump just addressed America about the 30-day Europe to U.S. travel ban and we've just learned that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are in Australia with the not-so-charming...

santa clarita diet + weekend

Happy Friday!!! Congrats! Great job, you made it through another semi-winter week. In Northern Virginia, it has started reached "normal" winter temperatures in the past couple days and we're all traumatized. We have become huge, spoiled babies from the 50 to nearly 70 degree days we've been having. I still hear birds singing right now though. It's...

love is all around (+ happy galentine’s day!)

Yep, totally normal (ahem) yet insanely awesome. Today kind of makes me feel like: I've missed you guys. I always think about this blog and...

mindy project now

Ok you guys, I'm super excited about The Mindy Project premiere happening in T minus a few minutes. I have been MIA on the blog {tears} but I wanted to check in and say Hi! and express my joy for this moment. This is officially the kick-off of the fall TV season and I couldn't...

summer break + raise a glass

Happy Sunday! I hope the beginning of your summer is amazing. Ok, it's not officially summer yet, but I love summer so much that it begins on Memorial Day weekend for me. I still maintain in my heart the grade school excitement of a summer break. Everything just feels a little more festive and relaxed...

a lovely thought

Love this. This is exactly what I believe. Have an amazing weekend! ♥♥channing {p.s. photo via Baobella. A new site for beauty lovers set to launch this month. Excited to see what it's all about.}
