I die over the notebook I got, it is white marble with gold script and gold details. SO trendy and the best part, it’s only $9.99!

 

This water color journal is so much fun, I love a cute journal that puts me in a good mood when I write in it! This one is only $7.99 too!

Mara-Mi has the BEST collection of notepads to choose from, I had to go and order some more after they sent me this adorable one because I can’t get enough! Most notepads on the website are $4.99! YES PLEASE! They really take charge in the little details they put into their products, and it definitely shows!

I’m so excited about this Valentine’s Day blog and to share with you guys some cute things I have obsessed over while getting ready for Valentine’s Day!

I got all of my Valentine’s Day goodies at Target this year, I could spend HOURS in their little dollar section right in the doorway, it’s honestly great marketing because it gets me every single time! I don’t think I spent more than $3 a piece on any of this stuff, so amazing and affordable!

Marshmallow pops: 3 ingredients! These were seriously so easy to make and SO cute! I just stuck the marshmallows on a kabob stick, dipped them in melted white chocolate chips, and put sprinkles (pink of course) where I wanted! These sweet treats were around $8 total for the ingredients and supplies! Such a sweet treat for your honey (or yourself)! 😉

Every year my favorite thing is finding a cute outfit because who doesn’t love pink and red?! My outfit I have picked out for our date is to die for. This fur jacket came from a consignment shop in Jacksonville, AL and it is SO soft. This dress is from Target and was only $13, I love the velvet rose details that are on it. I can’t find this exact dress online so I linked a similar one below. These furry block heels are SO cute, they came from Nordstrom Rack and were on sale for $26 but are sold out online at Nordstrom Rack BUT I found the same heels (same brand) in 2 colors on HSN, linked below and cheaper than what I found them for!

If you know me, you know my absolute favorite time of year is the Christmas season. I like to be super extra during this time, especially for a 20 year old. I can’t remember a year where I didn’t help my mom decorate the whole house and loved it, as well as all the joy and celebration of Jesus that came with it.

My mom always told me how important a “tree in every room” was while decorating, most people will think we are absolutely crazy! But it really is important, especially having a tree in your bedroom. I have a little corner of happiness in my bedroom, where my makeup station is decorated all cute, along with one of my trees. It makes waking up and getting ready so much more enjoyable (and sometimes thats the hardest part of the day)! Most people think that decorating is so expensive, which it can be! But there are tons of little tricks that can make it not expensive at all. I’m here to share how inexpensive all of my trees are and details for each one!

This year I have been obsessed with the idea and look of flocked trees, After some researching, it only cost me $2.97 to have a BRAND new flocked tree! This skinny tree was a hand-me-down from my sweet mom and was green at first. I bought a can of white spray paint and went to town (don’t worry, it is completely safe). You could also use white flocking spray or fake snow spray, but that can get very messy, very fast.

I love the way this tree turned out. I’ve collected ornaments and decor for this flocked tree for the past few years, clearly I have an obsession with the color pink! Ornaments can be pretty expensive, but I’m not lying when I say I have NEVER bought an ornament full priced, that would add up too quickly! Hobby Lobby always has great sales on all Christmas decor, most of mine comes from there! My little secret is shopping the day after Christmas, it’s a little tradition the ladies of my family have taken up the older I have gotten, and it is actually SO much fun. We wrack up every year! The fur skirt on this pink flocked tree is actually a fuzzy blanket that came from Target and was on clearance for $11, you’d never know it was actually a throw!

As for the deer head tree topper, I won it at a dirty santa party, but it came from Cracker Barrel, I got lucky! Cracker Barrel also has great sales on decor the day after Christmas, most of their merchandise is marked down to 75% off, and Hobby Lobby at 80-85% off!

 

I have to say that my favorite tree this year is the gold one in my bedroom, it is honestly a little corner of joy. Mom bought the gold tree at 411 and Main for a whopping $15! Amazing right? I filled the gold tree with white balls and a few fabulous black ornaments that match my room. I snagged a pack of 12 white balls for literally $5 the other day at Hobby Lobby.

This tree instantly puts me in a good mood when I wake up in the mornings and relaxes me when I go to bed at night, which is exactly what I need with finals coming up. The topper on this tree is literally one of my fall floppy hats! I also used a cheetah print throw for the skirt.

 

 

 

My last tree us a small little rose gold 4 footer that I got from Walmart for $12. My aunt gets me a new Annalee elf each year, I have had an obsession with them for years! I’ve tried to be creative with finding a place to keep them every year so this year I figured they needed their own little tree so they could stay together! The adorable elf legs sticking out of the tree came from Kirklands last year the day after Christmas, they were 75% off and add the perfect little touch!

 

 

Happy decorating and Happy Holidays!

A new piece of furniture in my house only costs me $20, literally! I like to change things up a lot, but who doesn’t? Furniture is SO expensive these days, so painting over an old piece is your best bet.

I like to have an accent piece in just about every room, they make the perfect statement! This teal distressed piece was extremely cute, but I got tired of it and wanted something new! I’m so into patterns right now, especially stripes! All I had to buy was a can of white paint, a small can of black paint, some masking tape, and new knobs. What an easy project! I started out placing the masking tape in vertical lines from top to bottom.  Then paint the main color in between the tape strips. I put 2 coats of white paint just incase it wanted to try and chip on me! Here is what it will look like when painted in between the tape! 

 

 

 

 

After all of the paint dried, I carefully pulled the tape off. It’s okay if some of the white paint chips a little, it’s super easy to go back and touch up. The next part is what will be most time consuming, painting in between the stripes. You would think you could put tape over the white paint, but it will mess the white paint all up! I did one drawer at a time and used a small brush for the edges of the stripes, very time consuming, but so worth it in the end! The black paint really does not need 2 coats all over, but some places may. I put 2 coats so it wouldn’t chip!

The knobs I bought I am seriously in love with. Sometimes they can be a little expensive, but Hobby Lobby has really great sales on stuff like that 24/7 and they also have 40% off coupons online!

This piece turned out to be one of my favorite pieces of furniture ever! Enjoy.
