The LIY Virtual Book Club was born in 2020 as a way to connect with you, our LIY Community, and to encourage each other to hit the books– virtually. Our first official meeting was a success [as in, we laughed and sipped wine which is considered a success in my book 😉 ] and we’ve…

How to Host a Clothing Swap [Virtually]
If you’ve been following along for some time now, you may already know we’re pretty big advocates of sharing the love with our gal pals. And by “sharing the love”, I mean sharing well-loved items from our closets. Insert: closet clean out. It’s something we all know we should do but something we may not all actually want to…
3 Valentine’s Day Kits to Create this Year
Happy First of February, friends! The sweet smell of love is in the air [or maybe that’s just my new Hearth & Hand candle, but that’s beside the point]. Valentine’s Day 2021 is right around the corner… So close I can almost taste the heart shaped candy– Reese’s hearts, I’m looking at you. While nothing…

How to Host a Gift Wrapping Party
Here at Living in Yellow, we’ve been intentional about setting aside time with our girlfriends either monthly or quarterly.

With the holiday craziness making our schedules…
What to Wear to an Ugly Sweater Party
While we probably could have all checked out our moms’ closets to find some seriously good ugly sweaters [she might not call them ugly, but ahem, sorry mom], we chose to start fresh! Chances are, you’re going to have the opportunity to rock an ugly Christmas sweater at some point this holiday season, whether it’s…

Rip & Sip // Host An In-Home Waxing Party

Our girlfriend of course. Introducing: Rip & Sip: an in-home waxing party! Whether we’re shaving, waxing, or lasering, most of…
Living In Yellow, 8 Years Later….
I will forever be grateful that a naive, ignorant, bored Indiana girl decided to give this whole blogging thing a try eight years ago. I will never forget wandering to our desktop computer sitting atop an old desk in our guest bedroom turned office turned guest bedroom and curiously typing www.blogspot.com into my web browser…
How to Host: Hand Me Down Clothing Party
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…
