$40 Master Bedroom Refresh

This $40 Master Bedroom Refresh is sponsored by Wikibuy. All opinions are my own.

$40 Master Bedroom Refresh shows how even the smallest change can make a big difference. Thanks in large part to the deal-finding prowess of Wikibuy, I was able to refresh our bedroom with $40! #sponsored

I fall victim to it all the time.

 

The “I wants” and the false needs and the desire to just make a small change when life itself isn’t changing or moving at the tempo I want it to. I love the feeling of being control of something when so much feels out of whack, and my knee-jerk reaction is to make a change to my environment. Buy something, move furniture around, hang something on the wall – just a little change that makes the rest of life seem doable.

 

However, even our master bedroom has continually escaped my advances and this past weekend I decided I’d had enough! Oddly enough I wasn’t even looking to change anything – life is pretty good right now – but I just felt a little tired of the same quilt that we’ve had from our wedding registry. It’s held up so well that I just couldn’t justify getting a new one, even though it was bright red, didn’t match anything in our house, and was actually purchased by my high school boyfriend’s mother.

 

Our master bedroom has been a catch-all for all the things that we need to hide from company but don’t have the time/energy/desire to find a long-term home for. Therefore, a refresh for our bedroom usually consists of actually cleaning it. Are we still friends? Ha!

 

Despite the fact that we just genuinely aren’t concerned with how our room actually looks, I just felt like a little something would help. A change of scenery if you will – maybe something a little more calming, a little more put together. Something that would make those times that we actually clean  REALLY count!

 

After waffling back and forth on a couple of different options, I finally decided that a new bed set would be a great thing to have – one with actual pillow shams and that was made for a king bed. I wasn’t as concerned with sheets yet (I know you’re not surprised), but after I thought about it I decided that getting a beautiful blue coverlet and matching shams would make just the right change. Plus they were $40 – exactly – on Amazon!

 

Sunday when the box arrived I couldn’t wait to put it to use, and I’m so happy with the way the colors worked out with our grey walls and the LOVE boxes that Nate made for me when we were dating. I feel like it ties everything together so well, and I actually get excited about spending time in our room now!

 

Now if only we could get consistent with that cleaning thing…

    Looks great! I always get a lift when I do something like that! Doesn’t take much–so, well done!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
