Taking some much needed relaxation time on this ba Taking some much needed relaxation time on this balmy February day after nonstop cleaning our house for 48 hours! Some things I learned after preparing my house for a showing: 1. A clean house makes me feel like a MAGIC PERSON who has her life together. Such a huge mood lifter! 2. You don’t realize how cluttered and dirty your house actually is until you decide to sell it. 😳 3. DON’T wait until moving or some other major life event to clean out stuff. You’ll end up in a time crunch and will have to shove stuff away to deal with later. Now that our showing is over, I’m making myself pull all that stuff back out and actually go through it. 4. Use the trash can as your last resort! It takes a few extra seconds to Google “Can I recycle _____,” but it was totally worth it to avoid sending tons of stuff to the landfill! I also did some online research to find out the best places to sell/donate unwanted but still good items such as nice jewelry, CDs, etc. Very little actually went into our trash bin, which felt GREAT! Alright, now I’m off to nap out in the sun!

Today was finally DEMO DAY!!! Y’all, this new ho Today was finally DEMO DAY!!! Y’all, this new house is finally starting to feel real!! The permitting process took forever due to COVID as well as our very lovely protected crepe myrtle (you can see her on the left, blocked off with caution fencing so nary a twig is harmed!). Then, the asbestos in the old home’s walls had to be specially removed before demo could start. Now that we’ve checked all the environmental boxes, we are ready to roll!! Y’all know I’m already planning out my home design and decor, and I have Kelly with @gratify_home helping me design a socially conscious, sustainable living room. Kelly and I are doing an IG Live this upcoming Thursday to share more behind the scenes about my living room project. What questions do you have for us about conscious decorating, e-design, etc? Send me a message or drop me a comment on this post! #demo #demoday #raleigh #dtr #raleighnc #interiordesign #gratifyhome #sociallyconscious #sustainable #sustainablehome #sustainableliving #sustainablelivingtips #homedesign #ecohome #ecoliving #ecofriendlyliving #newhouse #construction
Y’ALL it was 73 degrees in Raleigh today, and I Y’ALL it was 73 degrees in Raleigh today, and I died of happiness! 😊🌞 Unfortunately the skin on my face also died due to the sun because I completely forgot that sunscreen was a thing. 😬 I do not regret spending the entire day outside because Vitamin D and joy is > than perfect skin. But still, here’s your yearly reminder to wear ya sunscreen, folks! Adding a link in my bio to my favorite non-toxic, eco-friendly sunscreens in case you need to stock up for spring! #sunshine #springiscoming #nontoxicliving #nontoxicbeauty #sunburn #nontoxicsunscreen #nontoxicskincare #sunprotection #sunscreen #cleansunscreen #cleanskincare #sustainableliving #sustainablelivingtips #sustainablesunscreen #ecofriendly #sustainable #ecofriendlybeauty #sustainablebeauty #ecofriendlysunscreen #skincare

Top of my gratitude list today: the fact that with Top of my gratitude list today: the fact that within the next month or two, the weather will warm up again here in NC. 🙏🏼😎 I am beyond grateful right now to have heat, power, and shelter; yet I cannot deny that the month long parade of cold, rainy, dreary days are weighing on me. Warm weather girl through and through! The winter teaches me so well to appreciate the summer. How are y’all hanging in there?

Where all my fellow beauty product junkies at?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Even if you’re not a junkie, this post is for you...read on! When a friend in the nontoxic product industry asked if I had tried NakedPoppy, I was excited to learn about a new beauty brand and clean skincare marketplace (because...#productjunkie). When I tried their Beauty Assessment tool myself, I realized I had stumbled upon pure gold. This online tool matches you with the perfect nontoxic skincare and makeup products for YOUR skin’s unique needs, coloring, etc. And long story short...it works, based on my test run of it!! Whether you’re a junkie like me excited to learn about new clean beauty products OR someone who hates testing out tons of new products to find “the one” and wants an easy button OR someone who is overwhelmed trying to transition your skincare and makeup to nontoxic formulations, you will love this tool! Read my full review on the blog for more about my experience - link in bio. I hope this helps y’all find cleaner options that you love! #cleanbeauty #nontoxicbeauty #cleanbeautyblogger #beautyhaul #skincare #cleanskincare #nontoxicliving #nontoxic #crueltyfree #nontoxicskincare #greenbeauty #nakedpoppy #beautyblogger #productjunkie #makeup #cleanmakeup #nontoxicmakeup #cleanliving #beauty #makeupjunkie #makeuphaul
Love you, weirdo. Life hasn’t always been easy f Love you, weirdo. Life hasn’t always been easy for us (despite your constant sunshine-and-rainbows outlook!), but the last 10 years with you have been nothing short of amazing nonetheless! Through the good and the bad, you have been my constant. Thanks for being the anchor to my emotional, passionate, carried away self. There’s no one I’d rather have calm me down and find me a Mickey ice cream when I’m hangry at Disney World and dissolving into an existential crisis. Here’s to 10 x 10 more!
Every couple of months, I do a Small Joys post - a Every couple of months, I do a Small Joys post - all of the little things I’m loving or little life events that are bringing me joy! My latest Small Joys post is up on Fairly Southern. Naturally there are foster dogs mentioned...along with my new favorite snack, the new exercise routine I’m loving, and more! I also couldn’t resist sneaking a BIG joy in there as well. 😉 Link in bio! #smalljoys #bigjoy #fosteringsaveslives #fosterdogsofinstagram #labradorretriever #beaglesofinstagram #chocolatelab #boone #boonenc #mountains #grandfathermountain #nc #porchview #dogsofinstagram #fallvibes #dogsofinstagram #labradorsofinstagram #gratitude #gratitudelist #joylist #cultivatejoy #cultivategratitude #fairlysouthern
Feeling 🎉🎉🎉 because I have PLANS tonight! Feeling 🎉🎉🎉 because I have PLANS tonight!! Zoom cocktails to celebrate a friend’s birthday! I feel like I need full makeup/hair and a ball gown to celebrate this momentous occasion! 😂 But actually, I do think it’s fun to dress up (and by dress up I mean something other than my uniform of old sweatpants/sweatshirt) for special occasions, even if happening virtually right now! I styled this “Galentine’s” outfit from @ashandrose to be very couch comfy in addition to cute—perfect for virtual occasions! Outfit details at link in bio if you’re interested. Be sure to check out the special meaning behind the elephant necklace! Also, just gonna throw it out there - silver lining of virtual social gatherings is all of the gasoline I’m saving. 🙌🏽 My carbon footprint has gone way down during the pandemic, and that is something to celebrate too! #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #sustainablefashion #sustainablefashionblogger #ecofriendly #ecofashion #elephants #sustainableliving #sustainablelivingtips #carbonfootprint #zoom #zoomlife #zoomparty #ecoconscious #ethicallymade #smalljoys #galentinesday #galentines #galentinesparty #valentinesday #valentinesdaystyle
