A difficult time

-

Good morning gems,

How is everyone doing? 

I can say for certain on my end things haven’t been easy! We are extending lockdown for what feels like forever again. I am so sure it’s necessary and I don’t disagree at all it’s just disheartening to see the way the cases are not going down! 

This lockdown feels extremely different than the last. I can’t believe just a few short months ago we all thought we’d get a fun two weeks of working from home and now here we are 8 months later and still at home. I have to say there are some benefits: workout time, family time, self care time, chores can be done during the day, etc. But man on man I’m having a hard time with this. The walls of my cute home office are feeling more and more closed in. I truly felt so anxious and sad when I saw the announcement of an additional month (again) because it was just another hit! 

I had a few days of sadness but then it finally kicked me into high gear! I’m going to fix up my routine to make the most of this time! I workout every morning already, but that’s not enough, I need air. I am now trying to put as much effort as I can in making sure I get myself outside once a day at least! Little walks are miracles lately so I want to make sure to push my lazy self to get outside. 

Another item I want to keep pushing myself on is my online class. I am actually doing two online classes right now but I’ve been delaying and delaying them lately so I need to get back to two classes/sessions once per week at least! 

How are you all coping with the current situation? I’ve had a lot of conversations with other bloggers lately which I’ve found so interesting! Seeing how we are all in different situations when it comes to COVID and different issues worldwide! 


Stay safe and stay positive

Xoxo

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 ...
