Notable Things | A Real Look At Owning A Small Business, H&M Favorites, A New Must Have, & More!

Every year I have one of those months where everything happens to fall on the same month. August was that month for me last year because I remember drowning in deadlines that were coming faster than I could keep up with, and on top of that we took 2 weeks off to reside our house.

This year I’m sensing a bit of déjà vu because I have more deadlines and time off scheduled for the month. Last weekend we went up north to see my family and it’s been nearly 2 years since we were all in the same city together. I think we needed that…I needed that. Later this month I’m taking the week off work to recharge which is somewhat ironic since I have to work overtime now to make up for lost time. And as usual I have a list of “Finish in August” projects I keep putting off till “next weekend.” Let’s be real, we both know those will be September projects. That’s ok!

Soaking up all the busy but fun summer things while I can because I know in a few months I’ll be stuck inside while the snow piles up outside. Both seasons are good…both are necessary for me. 🙂

• How have I gone 29 years without this!? For $13 I revived half my clothes. It’s the little things.

• Must watch show – Growing Floret on Magnolia Network. It’s about a flower farm, but to me it’s so much more than that! I got emotional in almost every episode because Erin gave such a real, vulnerable, and relatable look into what it takes to run your own small business. Probably one of the most beautifully shot docu-series I’ve watched in a long time too. Aside from that, I swear Erin and I have the same personality!

• So honored to be interviewed for Omysa’s “Life of an Interior Designer” series! Read the article here.

• Just switched to this darker self tanner for the rest of the summer.

• I saved this pillow months ago…should I finally proceed to checkout!?

• Or maybe I should try this pillow hack…ummm genius!!

• If this light was just a hair shallower I’d buy it in a second for our bedroom…but where else can I put it!?

• I went on a mini shopping spree and it felt like I was shopping for the first day of school again! H&M pulled through for me! Here are a few of my favorites I found & bought –
