MY 2020 HOLIDAY DECOR PICKS
After waiting until December to shop for decor last year only to learn that almost everything I wanted was sold out, I started shopping pretty early this year. Since it took me a while to round up some affordable pieces, I thought I'd share what I bought for our home here.

THE BEST AREA RUGS UNDER $250
You know how when you become an adult, you learn that there are certain things that are way more expensive than you ever thought possible? Like, why do good throw pillows cost $50??? That's how I felt about area rugs when I first began decorating my first apartment.

CHEESY SPICY BREAKFAST HASH RECIPE
To quote one of the greatest shows to ever grace our television screens "Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?" About a month into quarantine, I found myself using a lot of my extra time at home to try my hand at creating new recipes.

OUR KITCHEN DESIGN PLAN & INSPIRATION
One of the many reasons that I loved our house right away was because when I stepped into each room, it was like I could instantly picture its potential. The kitchen was no exception - the minute I saw it, I pictured white cabinets, pretty brushed brass fixtures, marble countertops, and an organic subway tile backsplash.

DIY GEL MANICURE
I know it sounds completely ridiculous, but one of the biggest bummers of quarantine for me has been giving up my biweekly nail appointments. For the first 23 years of my life I was a hardcore nail biter, and getting regular manicures was the thing that finally helped me stop. Since then, it's been really important to me to take care of my nails because I'm really proud of how much I worked to keep them healthy.
