This sneaker protector is a MUST. Especially with the white sneaker trend. Crisp white sneaks are a huge risk for my teen boys (and myself, let’s be honest 😆) so doing all I can to preserve them! This shoe rain/stain protector spray has been great. One can does several pair. Spray outside. Let dry. Repeat. Give the toe area, tongue and edges special attention.

Photo Books: Memories in Print
Yes, crafting these photo books is an absolute labor of love, but trust me, the joy they bring is beyond measure!
I dedicate time each year to curate a visual journey of our moments, splitting them into two volumes that capture the essence of our year. Oh, and let’s not forget the ‘special edition’—a cherished memento for every vacation we embark on!
The magic happens when my boys flip through these books, reliving our countless memories. Plus, if you’ve noticed, I’m a big fan of incorporating my own photos into my home decor. These books are my secret weapon, making it a breeze to find the perfect snapshots for various projects.
Huge shoutout to Shutterfly for being the unsung hero in this photo book adventure! I particularly love snagging their Unlimited Pages deals for our family ‘yearbooks’. It’s a game-changer, trust me.
Coastal Artwork: A Breath of Fresh Air for Your Walls
When it comes to decorating, the saying “less is more” took center stage in my home, especially with the introduction of larger, carefully selected artwork that whispers coastal charm.
Shifting away from busier art collections, I found the sweet spot—a blend of focal pieces and curated collages. Trust me, it’s a game-changer for creating a clean, inviting space.
The result? A sense of openness and tranquility that you’ll instantly feel. Two collections that have stolen my coastal-loving heart are the Joyfully Said Lake Day and Coastal collections. It’s like they were tailor-made for my style and spaces!
Can you guess how many pieces from these collections now grace my walls? Spoiler alert: It’s more than just a few!.
Brushed Brass: Elevating Everyday Elegance
Gray + Brass = Absolute perfection! While nickel may seem like the typical choice for gray, trust me, opt for brass, and you’ll fall head over heels. The subtle touch of glamour it adds is pure magic.
Brushed gold accents are my secret sauce for adding flair. Refreshing a shelf, a wall, or an entire space? Consider a dash of brushed gold! It brings just the right hint of glamour, especially when paired with coastal vibes—think navy, dusty blues, gray, and weathered wood.
Go for it—try a piece or two or three! Your decor will thank you.
And a quick note on the subtle difference: Brushed brass and brushed gold may dance in the same metallic realm, but they have distinct tones. While brushed brass tends to lean slightly warmer, brushed gold takes on a touch more warmth. Choose the one that sings to your style and watch your space transform! (Champagne bronze tends to be the right tone for my color palette.)
Speaking of happiness, choosing brushed brass finishes for my bath refresh was a game-changer. The perfect accent to the heavenly shade of blue and the rustic charm of weathered wood.
Sunnies: #1 for Activities
Let’s just say my sunglasses collection might be a tad extensive—enough to effortlessly pair with any outfit in my closet!
While aviators are my jam, it’s the timeless OG style from Goodr that steals the spotlight when it comes to my top recommendations for any activity.
The Goodr OG style is the perfect match for my female head. Lightweight and secure, they don’t budge, making them my favorites for running, walking, water sports, and tackling everything a sunny day throws your way.
Bonus: The Goodr OGs come in a plethora of playful frame and lens color combos, adding an extra touch of fun to any sunny day!
Hoop Earrings: Your Quick-Fix Style Upgrade
Running more-than-fashionably late or just having one of those sweatpants kind of days? We’ve all been there. The ultimate secret to instantly looking put together? A fabulous pair of hoop earrings!
My go-to is a classic drop hoop design—lightweight, dainty, and oh-so impactful with its mixed metal allure. These earrings have been my style savior for years, bringing that perfect touch of flair even on the most laid-back days.
Here’s the lowdown on Hoop vs. Dangle Earrings:
Hoop Earrings: Featuring a continuous or hinged design, they effortlessly pass through or hook around the earlobe.
Dangle Earrings: Attached with a hook, post, or clasp, these stylish gems hang below the earlobe, swaying with your every move.
