When I bought my house I was so excited to be able to have a dedicated room for a home office. It was going to be my space for blogging, creating content, and a place for me to do work at home for my full-time job.
Sadly that excitement didn’t translate into decorating. I have done pretty much nothing to set up my home office. I don’t even have a real desk in it yet! (sigh)
Now that I’ve been working from home every day now I’m kinda regretting that and have been looking for ways to add some style and personality to my home office space.
As I’ve been browsing from some office decor essentials, a few items on Amazon have caught my eye and I thought I would share them with you for some home office decor inspiration.
Before I started my healthy relaxed hair journey I cared very little about the type of products I bought and used. I would just buy whatever was cheapest. While I've learned that cheaper isn't always better, getting good hair products doesn't need to cost a bucket load of money.
From my experiences and through the experiences of others, I've put together a list of 10 hair products that all cost $10 or less before tax and I would recommend them to my relaxed hair sisters. These are hair products that can be used in the three key areas of a hair regimen - cleansing, conditioning, and styling.
One thing I will caveat is while these products can be found in most places for $10 or less on some sites they may be listed for a few dollars more in other places.
I know I’m a little late to the game as several people posted their tips for working from home earlier this week. I considered doing the same but I wanted to get a few more days under my belt before sharing.
Working from home isn’t something that’s new to me because for a period of time, I was doing some freelance work and I worked from home a few hours a week.
Also, with my current job, I’m able to work from home if I need to have some work done on the house, or need to get away to get some work done.
The difference between those times and this current situation is that all of my co-workers and clients are also working from home. So there’s no one in the office and we’re all in different locations. This has made not only the workday but meetings really interesting.
As a little girl, there were a couple of things I would dream about having. One was a canopy bed. I thought they were pretty and it would be fun to sleep in one every night. The other was a makeup vanity. I would see women on TV getting ready for bed or putting on their makeup in the morning at one and I thought it would be wonderful.
As I grew up I outgrew the canopy bed dream but not the makeup vanity. When I moved into my house a few years ago I realized my master bedroom was made to have a makeup vanity. It was big enough to accommodate one and has a lot of natural light.
Well, guess what?! I finally got one. It’s not a traditional makeup vanity. It’s actually a desk that I purchased to use as one but it works perfectly.
In this post, I’m going to share where I got the desk, how I use it and what I have in it.
As part of my quest to grow my blog, I've been doing more reading and learning from other bloggers who have found success to see what I can implement to grow my blog.
Most of the advice I’ve read makes total sense and I wonder why I didn’t think of doing it myself. But there are a few things that get a response from me of “that seems strange.”
Some of those strange things I decided to not do. Others I did, such as this. I started upgrading my older blog posts.
Month 2 of 2020 is now in the books. This was a leap year so we got an extra 24 hours this year. I wish I could say I took advantage of the extra day and had a very productive month. But I can't.
My leap day was probably more productive than the rest of the month. My leap day consisted of attending a small group Bible study with some people from my church, running some errands, and taking a nap.
I'm still recovering from not feeling well during much of the month of February. This was due to my allergies kicking in full force. I’m on the mend and am looking forward to accomplishing in March the things I didn’t get to in February.
Before we get too far into the month of March I wanted to share my highlights and favs from February.
It’s no secret that I blow dry my hair. Over the last few years, my hair grew to not like being air-dried so I’ve relied more on blowing it dry each wash day.
I’ve learned that if I’m going to use that much heat on my hair I need to make sure I’m doing everything I can to give my hair as much protection as possible.
Using heat on my relaxed hair isn’t something new. In fact, before I started my healthy relaxed hair journey I used to blow dry and flat iron my hair. I still cringe when I think about that. Thankfully my hair didn’t suffer any major heat damage then and I definitely want to make sure it doesn’t now. That’s why I use a heat protectant on my hair.
