I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT! There has been a lot of excitement in my family as we are going to be welcoming a new human into the family come fall! 
Naturally since my older sister is having a baby, I insisted on being the one to design the nursery. I would not take now for an answer. Luckily, my sister and her husband appreciate my design input because this is a project I really wanted to do. 

I originally visioned this space to be more neutral, but when we found out that Baby R is going to be a girl, we had to add in a bit of color. I did not want to make it super cliche with baby pink EVERYTHING. Instead, I opted for a coraly-pink for the artwork. Adding in some mustardy-yellow in the pillow and gold accents helps to create a feminine space without it being too in your face. I wanted this nursery to be able to transition into a toddler / kids bedroom over the next few years.

Most of these pieces are all affordable. I tried to keep the budget in a reasonable range for this project. This mood board was meant as inspiration for my sister as she started shopping for nursery items. I will post some pictures as she finishes the room. Stay tuned!

It is time for us ALL to break up with single use plastics.. By now, we all know the damages that are happening from single-use plastics. There are easy ways to incorporate better choices in our daily life that in the long run will have a big impact on our Earth. Below are just a few ways to get you started.

Produce Bags - These mesh bags from Amazon are super cute and an easy solution to take with you to the grocery store/ farmers market. No more plastic bags for your fruit & veggies.

Silicone reusable bags - This is a great solution in place of the plastic baggies we all use to pack lunches, snacks, etc. These are silicone based so they can be washed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning

Beeswax Wrap - great alternative to plastic wrap or tin foil

Shampoo Bars - no more plastic bottle waste with these bars from Lush

Metal or Glass Reusable Straws - if you are a straw lover, these are perfect for you. A lot of restaurants and bars are opting out of using straws. Which this solution is great because you always have a straw with you. 

What are your go to eco friendly choices? I try and implement new things everyday to be better to our Earth!
