I was excited to partner with Birch Lane recently to give my dining room a little refresh! Sometimes ya just need to change little things up to transform a whole room. This brass, stainless steel flatware set is a perfect example. I love the weight of this set and the gold tones really compliment the table. Another small, but fun addition to the dining room are these pillows I placed in a few of the chairs. It ads texture and a little color! These are gray and I chose the down insert. I probably change up my buffet every few months. The dining room is one of the first things you see when comi ..read more

I got to visit The Ten Spot a few weeks ago for a little pampering and loved the experience! They’ve coined themselves the original ‘anti spa’ with a goal of bridging the gap between upscale spas offering over-the-top services and cheap/questionable salons. My pedi was perfection and customer service impeccable! This super chic concept has been around for 10 years, but this is the very first Georgia location. I especially love that it’s owned by a local husband and wife team! LaDonna and Darnell Suggs have put a great deal of effort and investment into this business, while maintaining a missi ..read more

I’m excited about an upcoming post I’m working on with Birch Lane, and while I’m waiting for a few new things to arrive I wanted to share this fun mood board that captures the essence of our dining room. I love this space in our home because the little tornados {also known as my children} that come through daily with dirty cleats, crumbs and spills tend to steer clear of it. They typically eat at a smaller table by the kitchen for more casual meals. Having a place to feel “dressed up” at home has been nice…particularly during Covid. Not to mention, it has also become my makeshift office during ..read more

Lemme kick this post off by saying these are NOT the most flattering pics of me, but I am so happy with the results that I really want to share! Increased facial asymmetry is a natural part of aging. No one has a perfectly symmetrical face to begin with; but as we get older bone loss, repetitive facial expressions, sun damage, etc. lead to changes in volume and skin laxity. I’ve personally done filler in a few spots, but recently tried it on my chin. It created a subtle but definitely noticeable improvement in my facial symmetry that I’m so happy with! I’ve been going Kavali Plastic Surgery a ..read more

I’ve been on some group texts with friends sharing things that we love on amazon and beyond. Thought it’d be fun to do a roundup of 10 items I’ve purchased, love and would 100% buy over and over from amazon. These are the top 10, but I’ve included a few more below that almost made it. #10 – Window Bird Feeder We had one of these in our last house too and I absolutely love it. Little warning…don’t hang it too low on a window if you prefer bird-watching to raccoon-watching. We had a few raccoons that came on the regular to get a snack from our feeder in the last house. It was kind of fun to watc ..read more

This is my first post in a while for a number of reasons, but what better time to connect with everyone!  To say the last two weeks have been unreal is putting it lightly, but I know we’re all in the same boat. Somehow there’s a little comfort in that. This is uncharted territory and I think the only thing we can do is take it one day at a time. When I find myself start to get stressed or overwhelmed, I try to stop and acknowledge a few things I’m grateful for. It grounds me and puts things into perspective. Very grateful to be able to celebrate Connor’s 19th birthday and George’s 13th bi ..read more

In case your smartphone snuck it by ya – daylight savings ended yesterday. Ugh. The cold, dark mornings that lead to a cold, dark evening commute pretty much suck. Spray tanning is one of my favorite ways to combat this seasonal slump!

Conveniently located in Fountain Oaks Shopping Center, the newest RAW boasts six rooms with state of the art ventilation systems and an expanded boutique featuring exclusive resort wear brands ..read more
