I feel like you and I are still very much in the “get to know me” phase. Whether you’ve known me for years and are just following along with the newest chapter in my story or you’re completely new in these parts and only know me as The Closet Mermaid (which is pretty freaking cool, […]
3 Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Leading up to Valentine’s Day, I have been working on giving each room a little bit of a romantic aesthetic, just to be festive. And, side note, I love how our bedroom decor is starting to come together! I won’t claim to be an expert on how to celebrate holidays, but I am a huge […]
