Ralph Lauren Christmas tree reveal!

For the last 10 years, I’ve leaned into very neutral Christmas trees, but I wanted to do something different this year. The deep jewel tones and traditional elements remind me of Christmas Window Displays on 5th Av. New York in the BEST WAY and make me so happy!

I especially love how the wrapped gifts compliment the tree decor! If only my toddler would leave them alone 🫠

✨ Wrapped in Ralph Lauren Christmas magic — where every gift feels like it came straight from a timeless holiday story, because the wrapping should be as special as what’s inside ✨

My recipe is simple: Tartan, Plaid, jewel tones in complementary colours, velvet, heritage patterns, texture, tradition. Inspired by the world of Ralph Lauren and wrapped in pure holiday elegance.

We’ve all heard that voice, the one that tells us we’re not good enough. I’m here to tell you don’t listen to that voice. The only one that can tell you what you’re capable is YOU. What you do with that knowledge is up to you!

Temu Christmas Haul: the good, the bad, and the tiny!

I bought a bunch of Christmas decor on Temu so you don’t have to!

Which items would you keep and which would you return?

Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES! Aka new project alert!

Time to say goodbye to the little 4 person dining table we bought 15 years ago for our first apartment! She served us well but she’s got to go! For one, my tastes have evolved. Not to mention growing family = bigger table. And don’t even get me started on sticky little fingers on glass. It feels like I’m constantly cleaning it and yet, it’s NEVER clean, you know?

So, I purchased a new table and chairs on FBMP for under 100$ and will be giving them a makeover! Head to stories highlights to catch up.

PS who else is obsessed with the KPop demon hunters soundtrack???
