What We are Doing for Self-Care While Quarantined

April 28, 2020

This is our 7th week of quarantine. In some ways it seems like its been a long time and in other ways, it seems like it flew by. It was definitely an adjustment at the beginning, but we’ve adapted and found some ways to care for ourselves and our family and have fun while we’ve been staying safe at home. While it looks like restrictions are slowly lifting, we plan to try to keep some of the positive aspects of our quarantine experience in place. We’ve learned some things!

Cooking

While we have always loved cooking, it’s been a lot more theraputic while we are safe at home. It’s fun to look forward to trying new recipes and things we may not normally make. We’ve been (very quickly) working through this cookbook – a few favorites so far are thai basil beef, grain free chicken parm, chicken fajitas and turkey lettuce wraps.​​​​​​​

We’ve also been taking advantage of Whole Foods delivery and skipping the grocery store. We’ve had a very positive experience and can almost always find an available time when we need a delivery!

Cozy Robes

Hotel robes are so comfy and it’s nice to relax in them in the room in the morning or while you’re getting ready to go out to dinner. Since hotel stays aren’t happening right now, we’re loving these resort plush robes for at home. They’re so soft, and if you are lucky enough to enjoy a cup of coffee on your own, it evens seems like a mini vacation.

Staying Active

Being outside always lifts our spirits, but especially so during this time. We’ve been getting out and staying outside as much as possible. Taking walks every day and just being outside does wonders for both us and the boys!

We’re also staying active by doing yoga and we just got a Peloton for spin classes. It’s been a great escape and it really gives you a fresh perspective!​​​​​​​

New activewear helps, too! We just bought these ombre leggings with this grey tank, this leopard tank and leopard pants set and these adorable heart leggings.

Trying New Cocktails

Signature cocktails have been fun to make and try. We’ve perfected a Paloma, we’ve recreated our Friday night Thai night Cosmos and we have been loving trying new margarita recipes. On warm evenings, an Aperol Spritz tasts delicious!

These are the perfect glasses for margaritas or palomas, these glasses are the best for sip and strolls and a classic martini glass is the best for cosmos.

At Home Beauty

There is nothing better than a few minutes to yourself either at night or in the morning to enjoy some new beauty products or do an at-home mani. Our go-to for an at home manicure is Dazzle Dry – it’s a non toxic polish and it dries completely in five minutes!

For masks we have been loving: pixi eye patches (specifically the beautifyEYE and detoxifEYE. This is always a good instant facial and we love the Elemis super food masks!

 
Cheers, ​​​​​​​

Updated Light Fixtures in our House

April 21, 2020

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a dedicated blog post on our house. It seems like we update progress on the house way more frequently on Instagram, but decided to link to our updated lighting here! Even though we bought and remodeled our house almost two years ago, there is still a lot of decorating left to do. These are all the rooms where we have updated light fixtures (including a before picture) so you can see what a difference light fixtures and paint make! ​​​​​​​Our house is still a work in progress and we are slowly but surely swapping out some pieces of furniture and accessories.

Ford’s and Henry’s rooms are next up. I’ve bought Henry’s bedding, and currently working on finding a new bed, end tables, and lighting. Ford has all the nursery items in his room, I just need to update the ceiling fan to a light fixture. I tried to link everything pictured, but if you have any questions – let us know!

Master Bathroom: Before and After

March 15, 2019

Our master bathroom was by far the biggest project in our house. We ended up demoing every single thing in the bathroom and starting from scratch. While we didn’t change the layout, we did make the shower larger. It was so tiny before and making it bigger was my husband’s #1 priority in our house renovation!

When I was envisioning the reno, I knew I wanted a “spa like” bathroom. We lived in a townhouse previously and it was so dark! My main goal was to utilize all the natural light and make the bathroom as light and bright as possible. We also decided to choose a taller vanity which was custom made by our contractor. Because our space is smaller, I opted for a stand alone tub and I am so happy with the way it turned out!

For our counters, we ended up having a remnant from our kitchen that fit the vanity perfectly. It’s Silestone calacatta gold and we’ve loved it so far! It did prove hard to find floor tile and wall/shower tile, but in the end we love how it turned out!

Because the color of our counters is not super white and also not grey, it was hard selecting the floor tile. I saw this picket tile when we were looking for the boys bathroom tile and I loved the way it went with the counters. We chose to do a backsplash for the tub that wrapped into the shower tile.

We still have a ways to go before I would call our bathroom “done” but I wanted to go ahead and share the before/after pictures because so many of you have requested details! I’d still like to get some artwork, find some bathtub accessories, bath mats, window coverings, etc!
