Product Of The Week:
The Peppy Cleansing Egg
This little guy is amazing and super easy to use. I usually cleanse my face first with cleansing oil, rinse and then add a little cleanser to the cleansing egg and turn it on. It suds up and my skin feels so fresh and smooth. The perfect palette for serums and moisturizer. Currently obsessed. Get yours here.
Recipe Of The Week:
Watermelon Berry Salad
Oh my gosh you guys, this salad is so fresh and beautiful and the basil really takes it to the next level, I added a little extra so the green really showed up. I like that it’s a little unexpected and if you need to bring a dish to an event not only is it colorful but it’s not your common fruit salad. I used dairy free feta but I think mozzarella might be worth a try too. Dave gave this one another 5 ⭐️’s. Just so you know, there have been a couple 3 stars and if they don’t get a 4 or better they don’t show up here! 🍉

Lifestyle: 8 Great Things To Do For Yourself If You Live Alone.
Living alone can be great, you can watch whatever you want on tv, stay up all night, or go to bed really early, you can even have cereal for dinner. It’s the best and worst thing ever! Plus, those scary noises at night….
Buy Yourself Some Flowers
Buy yourself flowers! Guys and girls can both enjoy the little boost that flowers give not only to your space, but they do something magical fo your spirit too. If flowers seem like too much a sprig of eucalyptus is always a good idea. You could even sign-up for home delivery on a monthly or weekly basis and enjoy the delivery with beautiful results.
Light A Candle Or Diffuse Some Essential Oils.
You can light any scent you want because no one else will care, you won’t bother anyone’s allergies, beliefs or scent preferences. 🔥
Facetime Friends + Family
I know Facetime isn’t for everyone but I do think it can be a learned and loved habit. I facetime with my kids daily, at least 3 times and up to as many as 10 times a day since we moved away, it really helps us all feel connected and in the know of one another’s daily ups and downs.
Have Friends Over For Drinks, Food Or To Watch a Movie
Inviting some friends over is always a good idea! Gather a few supplies or have everyone bring something. It can be casual and easy but it doesn’t have to be lonely.
Stock Up On Sick Day Supplies
No one will be there to watch you blow your nose all day, but no one will be there to make you chicken noodle soup either, so stock up now before it hits you and I promise you will be glad you did!
Adopt Or Foster A Pet
If you really need a friend, like the furry kind adopt one, or foster one for a less long term commitment. We all know a furry friend is really the best.
Volunteer
Sometime getting out of the house and out of our heads is just what we needed. Find a cause you love and go support it, on the ground, get involved. You’ll meet new people and learn new things.
Take Decor Risks
Well, obviously now is your chance. No one is going to complain about what you buy or how you set it up. Do remember though, you might not live alone forever so maybe don’t make really expensive purchases that might not work at all down the road.
Introduce Yourself To Your Neighbors + Exchange Phone Numbers
This could feel uncomfortable, but it’s always nice to be able to reach out for help from someone who lives right by you. Plus, don’t you think it’s strange that most people live by their neighbors for years without knowing their names?
Organizing Tip:
3 Tier Rolling Cart
I love these 3 tier rolling carts. They are so versatile and can be used for just about every space, home or office. They also come in so many colors! You can check them out here. Here are a few ways to use yours:

Just wanted to let you all know that I have created a “Recipe” Tab on the website. Many of you have reached out for previous recipes and now they are grouped by meal type on the site and they are all printable! I hope that helps and makes it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for! But, wait, still reach out it’s nice! :)
You guys are so great for being here, and for all your support. Your emails, texts and the reaching out for jobs has been such a blessing and as you know it’s really my favorite thing, designing, dreaming and finding ways to live beautifully! xoxo
