In the summertime, my Instagram feed is filled with the white buildings and blue domes of Santorini, and this year I finally got to go! Luckily, it lived up to its name. Santorini was the highlight of my Honeymoon (yes – MY) and encompassed everything that I pictured Greece to be. The pristine, cliffside, white buildings with blue domes were even better in person and I took so many pictures that I won’t be able to go through all of them… but I tried just for you.
Thanksgiving is sometimes overlooked by Christmas, but not in my house because it’s one of my husbands favorite holidays. So naturally, being a naive, newly married couple we decided to host Thanksgiving this year for both our families. For the most part, everything went wonderfully there were still a couple things I didn’t think of, because I’m still a new adult 🙂
One of the first things I do, ie get to do, for my Christmas decor is the front porch. My husband loves Thanksgiving so he never lets me put up a single Christmas decoration until after Thanksgiving. Luckily, I can usually get away with decorating the front porch a week early … because he never goes out there.
WE WENT TO GREECE ON OUR HONEYMOON! I’ve wanted to come here for so long and I’m so glad/lucky/blessed to finally get to go! But, let’s get real, it’s expensive AF to go to Greece and getting there can be a pain in the butt. One of my favorite things to brag about on this blog is how I’m able to pay for my vacations using points that I accumulated through airline, hotel, and credit card points. So, this trip is no exception!
As I was booking my trip to the Greek Isles, Mykonos was on the top of my list. Santorini has the amazing blue dome cathedrals, but Mykonos has the white streets with blue shutters and doors that you see all over Instagram. Also, it’s on the list for the best party cities in Europe. Everything I’ve read says that Mykonos is where you go to party, so don’t expect to spend a lot of time if your room and most blogs said to not worry about your room in Mykonos … well no offense to them but I didn’t take their advise and still wanted to stay in an amazing room with a private pool so I can spend the morning and days relaxing by the water.
Let’s be honest, when you hear the words ‘Santorini’ or ‘Greece’, you think of the blue domes in Oia (pronounced ee-yah). And for good reason, the beautiful contrast of the blue domes and white walls with the stunning views of the sea, are just breathtaking. Not to mention that this is all on the side of a cliff means that almost every view is un-obstructive. Even if you’re not staying in Oia, it’s worth the drive up because seeing these cathedrals, up close in person, is a once in a lifetime experience. It’s hard for me to put this into words, honestly those 4 sentences are all I could do and I know it doesn’t do this view justice. So I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I’m so glad that blue and white are finally coming back in style. These Asian inspired ceramic pots have been such a huge success with western brands like William Sonoma and Ballard Designs. I’m so glad that I can now find them all over the place, including Amazon!
Hi Friends! I’m so excited to share my largest DIY with you, painting my master bathroom. And, I don’t just mean painting the walls, that’s child’s play. I painted the walls, cabinets, AND tile. I didn’t want to go through the whole ordeal of replacing everything in my bathroom, because my townhome is only 4 years old so everything is in great shape. It’s just a little too dark for my taste so I wanted to brighten up the room.
Every spring, florals are always on trend (#shocking) but I’m currently obsessed with adding green accents into my home decor, I just love the look of blue and green. So what better way to add green than by adding plants?…fake plants that is. Don’t ask me to keep a real plant alive, it’s not in my nature.
The weather has been so beautiful in Texas the last couple weeks it has inspired me to actually buy live, living, breathing, plants (gasp)! I’m usually not an advocate for living plants, not only do I not have a green thumb but I just prefer the lifespan of a fake plant, especially inside. But it seems to be the trend in spring to buy real plants ( I wonder why ). So I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and see what all the fuss is about.
