Burgers Make Everything Better
So a few weeks ago, I won a contest. I know! I never win anything! I decided to enter a giveaway from good ole’ Sweet Paul. It was for some fancy shmancy gourmet burger kits from D’Artagnan. I saw the winnings and knew that if there was ever a giveaway I was meant to win, [...]
Fresh Find Friday
Another week. Gone. I’m just going to tell you, I’m glad this one is coming to an end! It’s been dragging. And at the same time, I needed more hours in the day to complete what I’ve been working on. I’ve got a pretty fun DIY coming to you next week so you better be [...]
I’m competitive. I am.
If there is any summer event I’m on board with, it’s the olympics. I CANNOT get enough and I’m starting to break out in hives just waiting for the opening ceremony! I’m not sure if it’s my competitive side, or the need I have to pretend I’m athletic, but I just love the olympics. Melanie [...]
Tut Tuesday: Potato Stamp Neon Napkins
I’m certainly not the first person to potato stamp. And I’m sure I won’t be the last. What I love most about this versatile veggie is that it’s so easy to manipulate. A few swipes with a knife and you’ve got yourself a pretty little CUSTOM stamp. I’m going to ride the neon wave as long [...]
The Instagram Jam
Well, we’re back from our weekend in Buena Vista, CO. As always, I instagram the heck out of Colorado’s mountain towns. Follow along: @lexyjo. There was a ot of hiking. Lots of breath-shortness-due-to-the-altitude. Lots of antiquing. And LOTS of chipmunks! We headed up to a little ghost town called St. Elmo and you can sit [...]
Fresh Find Friday
I think it’s safe to say that I’m glad this week is over. It’s flown by and I haven’t really had a chance to sit down! I kind of love it when that happens. A lot has happened this week and I’m extremely grateful. The Proper Pinwheel had a few features around the web - [...]
I’m Feeling Generous: Mom, Inc. Giveaway
Whoa! After yesterday’s events with Daily Candy, I’m just in a giving mood. I feel very blessed and I’m lucky to have what I have. Because I’m essentially working 6+ jobs, I find that it’s crazy-difficult to balance everything at times. How do I keep my head up? How do I persevere? How do I [...]
Dreams Do Come True: Featured On Daily Candy
Holy moly. That’s really all I can say at the moment. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the super sweet editors of Daily Candy. And guess what? They wanted to feature that little circus party I put on a while back. Can you believe it?!?! It’s a darn shame you’re not next [...]
Look At Those Stairs!
I’m really digging this studio in Stockholm. It’s so earthy and modern and clean. Everything is so carefully thought out. Would you believe me if I told you that it was 495 square feet? Oh yeah. This space was designed by the modern magician himself, Jimmy Schonning, and it’s jam-packed with detail. Every nook and cranny was planned [...]
