Ladies, we all know how much you love Etsy for all of your creative odds and ends! Let's be honest, sometimes we just don't have the creative powers that these etsy geniuses seem to hold. If you are looking for adorable vinyl monograms or sayings, custom made wood signs, or custom tiles for weddings or births... look no further!  

The owner of this Etsy shop is the very sweet Hailey Daniels. This gorgeous, God-loving individual went to high school with me and has been inspiring many with her life goals and creative flare ever since. She made the decision to kick off this fantastic one-stop shop a little while ago to see if she could reach out to others with her creations. Here are some of her adorable designs:

Her adorable designs range from $7 to $25 with a reasonable shipping of around $5. I have been totally impressed with the efficiency of her shipping and her sweet and simple packaging! 

As a teacher, I rely on copious amounts of coffee and sarcastic phrases to get me through the day and Hailey was able to put both of these obsessions together into one perfect creation.

I  can't wait to adventure back into her shop for more handmade goodies!

Stop by and have a look around, you won't be disappointed.

do work, sweat more

I wanted to share the amazing athletic haul I did online at Old Navy last week. I absolutely adore their work out line due to the "go dry" cloth that they use for all of their items. I was able to apply the 40% sale coupon to my cart and got points for using my old navy card. Another major thing I was going for with this haul was a lot of dark colors that could be mixed and matched with the running leggings I picked. I have black and pink nikes so I did not want to go too far from that color combination. 

I can't wait to use my new work out clothes for my quick sweat sessions after work. 
Get out and sweat more. Be the healthy you that you want to be!

Room Re-Do

While I am at it, I wanted to also share the paint job I did for my four year old side table that I have had all through college. I made a decision in the past month to slowly re-do my room in the colors peach and grey. I love this color combination, so back to Walmart I went to find a new color of Rustoleum to match the peach of my sheets. Here is the outcome.

In love with this outcome and my DIY summer was complete with this one. 

DIY deck furniture

Don't let the title fool you... I simply re-painted my deck table. Although, I wanted to share! I really love DIY's that are easy and relatively fun. This was as simple as going to Walmart to find a new and fun color that I would want to come home to everyday. The color of choice was Rustoleum in the color Seaside. I was immediately in love! Here is the before and after of my project.

I'm so in love! I can't wait to paint more things...

Coffee Corner

Okay y'all, for a while now I have been sitting around whining about how badly my house needs some new pizzaz and day dreaming about how to achieve this. My amazing family showed up this past weekend and worked their tales off for two straight days to help me remove a tree, lay out the new garden area, paint my front steps, clean and seal my back deck, clean out my shed, and rearrange my entire kitchen. I think my favorite change of all was working together with my mom to create the start of my coffee station. I am so in love y'all!! All my favorite things in one little area of my kitchen. Disclaimer: this is just the beginning, so it is still a bit plain.

      

My previous (fantastic) neighbors left my amazing wine rack on the back porch as a welcome home gift when I first moved in four years ago (I can't believe it has been that long!!). 

      

I have had this red tray for four years now as well and use to have it sitting up on a plate display on top of my cabinets... had to break it out as my mug holder. 

      

Go grab up my new favorite mug from target while they are still in stock. Super cute teal pattern. My baby (Keurig 2.0) loves it's new home. I have an outlet directly behind my wine rack that I never used, so it was perfect placement for my coffee station. 

      

As you can tell, my mother thought she was hilarious by putting my Mister Tea tea infuser into his own personal coffee station hot tub. **the plastic is not just trash hanging out, it is actually a keurig 2.0 carafe hack that my brother-in-law snipped up for me yesterday**

                   Do you have a coffee station!? What do you use for your K-cup storage?

 

  

don't you see, it's ipsy!

Oh ladies, if you are not already signed up for Ipsy beauty bag or if you are signed up for birchbox... it's time to sign up or switch! If you have already read some of my posts you should know that I am an absolute fan of birchbox, but ipsy comes in adorable makeup bags every month! I love having different odds and ends bags that match my different purses and totes. I have really enjoyed getting my five beauty products in a bag instead of a box every month. It works the same way though... get your bag, snap a staged picture of your items, review each item online, and then use the crap out of each one! 

                                                Here is a picture of my favorite bag to date: 

                           

                                  Do you have Ipsy? If so, which month has been your favorite?
