Spa-Inspired Bathroom with Wayfair

Happy Friday Friends!

Sharing another fun post this week with Wayfair!

Whether it’s a spacious primary bathroom or a hallway powder room, it’s easier (and less expensive) than you might think to give your bath a whole new look! I’m excited to share my recent chat with Wayfair and share our tips for transforming your dull bathroom into the spa-like oasis of your dreams - with just a few simple upgrades!

Wayfair: If you could only upgrade one area of your bathroom to make the biggest impact, what would you choose, and why?

Me: I would have to say the tile, I feel light backsplash and flooring makes a huge difference!

Wayfair: Are there any must-have décor pieces, accessories or fixtures in your bathroom that enhance the spa-like atmosphere?

Me: I would say upgrading your hardware, whether that be cabinet pulls or towel holders really can level up the space!

Wayfair: From a design perspective, what are your favorite colors, textures or materials to incorporate in your bath space?

Me: I absolutely love marble and a clean white look with blue tones mixed in to give an elevated coastal vibe!

If you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom this year, check out the selection at Wayfair!

Think About Your Social Media Going Into Q4

Happy Wednesday friends!

As we enter Q4 and head into the most wonderful and busy time of year now is the time to think again about outsourcing your social media! Was this a goal you made for your business this year? Can you imagine going into Q4 having to come up with content and consistently posting about deals, sales and your services during this busy season?

If this already makes you feel overwhelmed take a moment and consider hiring a social media manager. I would love to help you come up with social media marketing strategy that will help you get through this time and show up for your ideal clients that haven’t found you yet!

Directions:

All you need to do is put the cream cheese in the middle of a serving platter to start. Then pour a good amount of the caramel dip on top of the cream cheese, enough to cover it. Next top the caramel dip with the heath bar bits. Finally places all the apple slices around the cheesecake dip! This is a great dessert and is awesome for any gluten free guest that might be attending the party as well!

1  package of pie crust dough

1  jar of nutella

This outfit is a perfect summer into fall without being full fall! Everything you see if from LC Lauren Conrad except my French blue scarf from Zestt Organics that can be worn a ton of ways! Their pieces are some of my favorites from fall and you’ll be seeing more of them here on the blog and over on the feed!

Summer Backyard Inspo with Wayfair

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m so exited to share the second part of this collaboration with Wayfair! I’m so inspired by coastal vides and clean lines so this outdoor set and outdoor umbrella is the perfect combination! We will be adding more of the items from the mood board below as we go but we are so excited with how it looks in the space!

Wayfair: Are there any color palettes or trends that are really speaking to you right now?

I love classic and timeless colors. I love black and white stripe and palm prints for accents but as far as furniture you can see here I love the coastal vibes of white and the teak wood.

Wayfair: What is your advice for maximizing outdoor living space for those who may only have a smaller patio or balcony?

We’ve had both now, places with smaller outdoor living spaces and larger spaces and it’s all about not overwhelming the space. Don’t cram in bigger pieces if they can’t fit. For a smaller space I love an outdoor rug with a cute bistro set and some string lights.

Wayfair: Sunshine and blue skies have us daydreaming about outdoor dining! What are your favorite style tips for alfresco tablescapes and entertaining?

I love an umbrella if you are dining outside along with fresh flowers on the table and playing with colors to enhance your outdoor pieces. If you have space I love seeing a longer table and chairs for dining and maybe a few other areas with chairs or a bench for seating and some games as well!

Wayfair: Which pieces do you recommend investing in for your outdoor space? Which pieces do you change out to keep your oasis fresh and on-trend?

I would definitely recommend investing in a set as we did with plenty of seating available and this set is great to change up the configuration. I love to change out pillows and décor based on season and trends!
