Living Room Reveal

Hi friends.

Happy Easter weekend! 

We bought our first home last Summer and been working hard

on updates, one of which is our downstairs area. We painted

the downstairs a light grey color and absolutely love it! After we painted, our 

next project was to purchase new living room furniture. While we were 

grateful for our hand-me-downs, we were SO ready for modern furniture. 

We ended up purchasing quite a bit for the living room area, all of which

we stayed UNDER budget, woot woot!

Living Room Revamp

- Sectional + Sofa

- Pillows + Throw Blanket

- Area Rug

- Electric Fireplace

- TV Mount

- Coffee Table {That I thrift-ed + painted}

Below are some photos of the new space--enjoy!

Oh and checkout the before + after photos at the end.

Major difference from when we bought it.

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo

WIL: March Edition

Hi friends!

What an interesting time of 2020, right? I haven't posted much on here

as I've been distracted by house projects {more on that later} and wasn't

sure what kind of posts to create. Now that we have extra time on our hands,

decided to create a post on "What I'm currently loving" Enjoy!

{ one } : This chap stick--my favorite brand! Currently loving the peppermint 

{ two } : Cute lounge wear for the win since we're all stuck inside. 

I've been wanting jean jogger pants + this bee kind t-shirt

{ three } : White tulips. So pretty + perfect for Spring

{ four } : DOT PRETZELS! Their like seasoned spicy pretzels, super yummy!

Stay safe & healthy!

Sincerely,

February Fitness

Hi friends!

Happy February! Since the holidays have past, I've been trying

to get back on the health train. Some weeks are good, others....

not so much :-) But the main point is I'm trying! To help encourage

me not to eat junk food, I'm sharing some healthy meal ideas to inspire

myself + others. Enjoy!

Hello, 2020

H e l l o , 2 0 2 0.

Can you believe its 2020? 2019 seriously flew by in a blink.

I remember writing my 2018 year in review and explaining

how slow paced it was. Whelp, that definitely did NOT happen

in 2019--it was a crazy busy year. I've enjoyed writing down

all the successes, major moments, etc. for the year so decided

to do that again. So, without further ado, here's my 2019 highlights.

E N J O Y! 

{ Lost another 20 lbs. Total loss of 40-ish lbs }

{ Traveled to new places--San Fran & Denmark! }

{ Went to two surprise birthday parties }

{ It was a LOVE year for family + friends. Two weddings,

three bridal showers, & two bachelorette parties }

{ Got a work promotion }

{ Marie Kondo'd more of my life }

{ Watched ALOT of Netflix--oops }

{ Ate healthier + did consistent workouts }

{ Finished the entire series of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. 

& realized it may be my favorite show ever }

{ Went Strawberry Pickin' }

{ BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!! }

{ Upgraded from a full size bed to a king }

{ Discovered my enneagram type 2w3 }

{ Meet + greet with Andy Grammer } 

{ Visited a sunflower field }

{ Made my first apple pie from scratch }

{ Hosted a Fall chili bar }

{ Celebrated 10 years of dating & 2 year

wedding anniversary }

It was such a great year with tons of celebrations. My favorite

highlight is definitely buying a house--I'm so excited for our

future plans for it. Cheers to 2020, ready to see what 

you have in store for me!

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo
