Quarantine with T

-
Hey gems,
I know times are tough right now and depending on where you are your life is affected in all kinds of different ways.

Right now in my area we are on lock down and we are effectively in quarantine. I am not sick, nor is my family, but we are choosing to stay away from the public just to keep ourselves as safe as possible.

I know people have very varying opinions based on where they are, their rules, those around them, etc. to  each their own is definitely something I am seeing a lot of, but at the end if the day let's all try to do our part and keep each other safe.

Here are a few things I've been doing during the lock down that have been super helpful!!

1. Scheduling
By making schedules for everyday, whether it be days where I am working from home or the weekend, has been a super helpful tool. If I don't make these schedules I feel like my time isn't used at all and I end up spending my whole weekends binge watching and my weekdays taking no mental breaks.

2. Fresh air
This has been key to me as I have been taking walks when possible, and when I am not in the mood or there is bad weather, I workout to get my body moving regardless. Workouts really can't be compared to how good the fresh air feels though!

3. Friends
We are so blessed to be in a digital era where we can facetime, text, call, snap, and so much more. We have so many ways to stay in touch and communicate through this time and it is so important for us to be thankful for what we can do rather than what we can't.

4. Dance
Guys this might sound dumb, but I swear to you, the best thing I've been doing is dance breaks. If I can't go out I take a minute and just dance around my desk and it is so satisfying, so good for the soul! Let your energy out in a way that will make you smile and DANCE!

I truly hope you are all healthy and safe reading this and I'm sending positive vibes to you all!

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute ...
