10 Ways I Get Ready With Google Home

If there is one thing our cabin is becoming, it’s smart. The people inside of it, well that’s still up for debate, but the items in it – g-e-n-i-u-s. My husband is absolutely leading this charge as he believes “the more smart pieces of technology in our home the better” where I’ve been sitting on the sideline thinking “unless it’s going to pass me a cookie, I’m good.” Until now. I’ve quickly learned the power of the smart home items, so much so that I get ready with one every single morning now.

When we recently renovated our master bathroom at the cabin, we were choosing final fixtures [you know, all of those fun things like toilet paper holders, soap dispensers and the best smelling air freshener we could find] and we spotted the Google Home Hub at Macy’s and thought to ourselves “well this could be fun…” It turns out that “fun” translates to “home changing” in our vocabulary.

TOP RECENT AMAZON, NORDSTROM & AE PURCHASES

Spoiler alert: I’m still shopping. If there is something 2019 isn’t bringing, it’s a slow down on the “checkout” button.

Over the past several months it seems that the internet has taken such a curiosity in Amazon Fashion – “is it good? is it awful? WAIT AMAZON SELLS CLOTHES?” so I’ve been trying to order more and more from there to see what’s worth it and what isn’t. Additionally, I’m still shopping at Nordstrom [duh] and I can’t resist the occasional urges to shop at American Eagle, Backcountry and J.Crew. Have I listed all of the online stores yet?

I’ve rounded up 10 of my recent outfits / purchases and are bringing them to you here to browse through!

Closet clean out. It’s something we all know we should do but something we may not all actually want to do. Filling up bags full of items that are most likely going to sit in our basement for 2 1/2 years until our husband forces us to take them to the nearest donation spot [maybe…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got spring on the brain BIG time right now. Conveniently, we’re about to get hit with a foot of snow this weekend which will quickly remind me that we’re still a little way off from birds chirping and temps on the rise, however, a girl can dream, right? When…

Master Bathroom Makeover / Before & After Reveal

After a couple of months of renovations and having one toilet at our disposal, our master bathroom at the cabin is officially D-O-N-E! It feels so good to have a fresh space to get fresh in [I meant clean up in, but the shower is pretty big soooo….] When we purchased the cabin we didn’t…

A Random Stream of Thoughts

It has been too long folks, too freaking long. I tell myself every week that I’m going to get back to writing more personal posts and back to embracing my weird, random, witty antics that make me feel free as a bird and then every week passes and it never happens. Sounds similar to married…

Found: The BEST Mascara [9 Brands Tested & Compared]

The Great Mascara Test It’s the one beauty product I rarely ever leave home without – mascara. There’s just something about those tubes of black goodness that make us go from dead to alive in three coats flat. Without it, I question if eye lashes even exist but with it, our eyes can pop more than…
