2018 - Out with the Old, in with the New!

For a long time I had been considering reviving this blog that I started in 2012. It wasn't until a series of milestone events in my personal growth that I was finally motivated to act upon it.

I would like to awaken my long-dormant creative side by updating this blog, continuing to share my DIY projects, some of which may not be recent but are still relevant and inspiring. I want to continue sharing my passion for travel along with other personal interests such as fitness & beauty and maybe a blog or two about what I've learned about myself as I try and overcome some incredibly challenging hurdles in my personal journey.

Cheers to second chances!

Tablescape: Going Coastal

With Spring around the corner I was in the mood to update the tablescaping on my repurposed IKEA Lack table. Here's what I put together:

Found the starfish and shell on sale about 2 years ago.

 

I also use the shell to store our 3 remote controls - decorative and functional!

The coral was purchased at a pet store last year. Keeping it in tact with a 3 year old is proving to be quite the challenge. I stacked a few Louis Vuitton boxes underneath for added height.

I broke off a few twigs from a small tree to frame the tablescape.

Voila! The outcome? A quick and simple change that is also reflection of the island girl that I am.

Recent Changes

There's been so much going on in our lives in the last few weeks. We're in the middle of moving out of our apartment, I started a new job in a field I never thought I'd find myself in (and loving it!), and most importantly my little man N started school! Here is a pic of us mother-son duo on the first day of school:

On Litte N: Gingersnaps shirt, GAP Kids sweatshirt & jeans, Skip Hop lunch bag
On mommy: Ann Taylor LOFT sleeveless shirt, J Crew sweater, Stradivarius bottoms
