My Quarantine purchases

-
Hey gems,
Since quarantine started I know a lot of people have been online shopping and I have been trying so hard to be extra choosy about where I spend my money. I know, this is insane coming from the person who is a shopaholic, but hey, one thing that has benefited from quarantine is my bank account and I'm getting used to saving more and more.

So here are the few items that I chose to go for!

The biggest and most significant purchase is My Macbook. I bought it about a week ago and it hasn't been delivered yet but the purchase is definitely the biggest in a while. I am working from home to it is an essential so not so much a splurge BUT I've never had a Macbook before and instead of getting a less expensive laptop I spoiled myself with a MACBOOK!!! Although it hasn't been delivered yet, I am patiently awaiting that major purchase!

Item number two is a new phone case now LET ME TELL YOU! This is something that wasn't a planned purchase but I have wanted a Signé case for a while because they are known for being super protective and not to mention adorable! So when I saw the sale BOGO sale thy were having I went on and bought two cases, one for myself and one for my sister and they got delivered and I AM IN LOVE! Highly recommend them, I will link their website here!

Next few items I bought were for other people, I have a few close friends and family who are first responders so I sent them little gifts and then also for Easter I sent my family little gifts.

The next item will make absolutely no sense but bare with me! I bought...jeans. Yup, I know, in a time where we are all living in sweats and leggings, your girl went out and bought jeans. Now hear me out. I realized that when I get dressed, whether it be sweats or jeans, any kind of change from my PJs was super useful for my work productivity. So I started wearing my boyfriend jeans since they are the coziest jeans I own. I then really fell in love with wearing boyfriend and mom jeans but all the ones I own have rips so I can't wear then to the office (when we go back). So I ordered some baggier jeans that don't have rips and they are SO CUTE!

I also just put in an order in at Garage for some cute tees and bike shorts. I really forced myself to stay within  a small budget of 50$ and only buy the items I would use during quarantine!

Hope you guys are finding some ways to enjoy quarantine, use the time to find new passions, lean new things and just be patient with the world and yourself.

Talk soon gems,
xx

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 ...
