This is definitely most whimsical DIY yet. But it has so much meaning behind it. Back in April, as we were approaching a full month staying home, I felt compelled to make something for when we were free again. Free bird door decor.

Back when we were building our house, I wanted garage doors with windows. Specifically windows with grilles. Sadly, our choices only had plain windows. I’m so excited to share how I created faux window grilles for only $5 and less than an hour of my time – including cleaning the windows. It really updates our curb appeal and helps the exterior of our house look more polished.
Pardon the play on words, but the basement bathroom is complete – kind of. It is fully operable, just missing some things to make it feel complete.

It was like we couldn’t get down to business and focus unless everything was Marie Kondo’d – and this was before anyone in the states had heard of her. Since everything started shutting down 8 weeks ago (8?!), there have been social media posts about using this time at home to get organized. Then there have been posts that state that’s too much and we shouldn’t add more to our plates during stressful times. I totally get it. I’ve had the urge to declutter but have completely lacked either the time or energy on any given day. Cooking three meals a day every day is getting old…
Amidst everything going on, it feels a bit trivial to be writing about beauty products. But maybe you’re in the same boat as me and want to feel sort of put together while at home. If that’s the case, I have three products I’ve been using for a few months now that have seriously impressed me. Plus, they all have great ratings with the Environmental Working Group! Read on for my new favorite natural beauty products. Continue reading “Natural Beauty Products I’m Loving”
