39 & looking like a (gluten-free, high-protein, refined sugar-free, low-carb) SNACK 😂😂 Spent my bday today super low-key and feeling super grateful and blessed! I don’t ever take for granted the opportunity to see a new day and new birth year. ❤
.
Haven’t shared some random facts about me in a while so here are 39 random facts (jk there’s just 5) about me. And I need you to tell me one random thing about you in the comments!
.
1| I'm not a maths person. Any number configuration over 10 gets me glassy-eyed. I do have moments of pure genius where I can add up figures in a jiff, much to my own surprise. But in general, those moments are few and far between.
.
2 | I luuurve dance as an artform – particularly hip hop, contemporary and salsa. I did a Michael Jackson dance class some years ago. But as I’ve gotten older, it seems most of the moves have stayed in my head and don’t translate to reality. I learned this the hard way when, years ago I was inspired by some moves in You Got Served and, in a wave of careless optimism, attempted a handstand and busted the right side of my face. I also nearly broke my neck. The incident is reported to have occurred in my twenties, when I was “grown folk” and should have known better. I have marks on my face to this day to remind me of my folly.
.
3 | I add water to er’thang I drink – incl. soda. I’ve been diluting my drinks since I was a kid. I shake out the gas in sodas on the rare occasion I drink them and then add water. Sounds pointless to drink a soda after that (do you even call it soda still?) but that’s how I like it. Weird but true.
.
4 | I am THE Liza Kochy when I’m driving alone. I have quite a few different sound effects (rapper sidekick anyone?)and voices down pat, including the “Trini Commercial Voice”. If you’re a Trinbagonian, you’ll know what I mean. Sitting for hours in traffic everyday lends itself to that kind of creativity. So whenever that commercial opp comes #sheready .
5 | I am known to break out in song when I am about to eat, when I think about the fact that I’m about to eat, when I’m eating...etc etc.. I dunno. It just happens. I’m a foodie
.
Alrighty, what’s your random fact?

Instagram post 17855858332534083 $Happy weekend!! 💃💃If you love the look of marble but not the price, marble contact paper makes such a big difference for a fraction of the cost. SWIPE to see the before. ❤ I finally posted my desk makeover tutorial using marble contact paper on the blog. I got the contact paper on Amazon and it's linked in the post. Click on the link in bio. ❤ What needs a marble touch in your home? Lemme know in the comments$

Yesterday, I finally started working on my DIY headboard so just showing a sneak peek of what the upholstered panels look like 👀 I think I nearly KILLED my thumbs from stapling with a manual stapler so will definitely get a staple gun for the rest of the process. 😟😁 The fabric is definitely more lilac than grey so may have to switch up the colour scheme slightly but I'm loving it!! I'll be sharing the process in my stories soon but I love how the elements are coming together. 💃 The gold pulls are for my Ikea Rast dresser and they're sturdier than I expected. They make such a difference to the dresser 😍😍. I also tested my faux hanging Ivy in my macrame planter and it's perfect. I just need a plant pot now. 🌱 Check the link in bio and click Bedroom Refresh Plans to see all the deets for the room. The links to the pulls and the hanging Ivy are also in the post.
Whaddaya think?

Hey you! How was your day? Sharing some Ikea love here 😉
.
I'm currently (seems like always, ha!) reorganizing my bedroom and I recently switched out this Ikea TV bench I've been using as a side table for the last 2 and a half years (?) feels like longer though.🤔 I've had the bench for abt 7 years and previously used it at the end of my bed when I lived in London. .
In small spaces, it's always super important to have multi-use furniture and this lil cutie is no different. SWIPE LEFT to see 5 other ways I styled the TV bench (hint... none of them involve a TV). I've posted some before but it's nice to see them all in one place.
.
Now, I moved it to my home office nook and I'm looking forward to using it in that space. .
Which one is your favourite look? Can you think of any other ways to use it? Lemme know in the comments.

How's your Monday going? I'm fighting the cold (losing) so I'm looking forward to jumping in my bed when I get home and getting a good night's sleep, right next to my new DIY throw pillows. They were super easy to do (no-sew) and make such a difference in the room. Funny how little projects can bring so much joy.
.
This month I joined up with some lovely bloggers for another #diyprojectchallenge, where we all had to use FABRIC. I recently saw some gorgeous throw pillows on @sarahmdorseydesigns 's couch and was immediately inspired to create my own version. Check out the full tutorial on the blog and be sure to check out the links to the other projects at the end of the post. #linkinbio

Heeeyyyy... how's your weekend going? I know lots of peeps are enjoying a long weekend. #jealousnotjealouskinda lol since I have work tomorrow. | Photo credit: @immyandindi . So...I really wanted to share this. ♡
This week I finished listening to #themagnoliastory on audible and was struck so many times by how @joannagaines let herself freely dream big. ♡
On Friday, I was driving off my usual route to drop off my mom and stopped by an area I'd love to live in. I remembered how, a few years ago, I'd drive there after work almost every day and park on the hilltop just picturing myself living there. ♡
And then I parked up that dream it seems. ♡
Passing there on Friday, after listening to the book, reminded me of that season. And this scripture verse also came to mind: Eph 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us". ♡
I was reminded in that moment that God can't exceed what's not there, if you know what I mean. ♡
If we're afraid to let ourselves dream big and envision our lives beyond our present circumstances, then we can cripple ourselves and our destinies. We can sometimes set the bar so low.
♡
He's waiting to blow our minds but wants to see that step of faith and power in us first.
Can you relate?

*insert corny clock joke here* lol
😁
Shared this easy DIY wall clock remake on the blog today. I teamed up with some awesome bloggers for a #diyprojectchallenge this month where we each remade a cheaper version of an more expensive item. 😊
SWIPE LEFT for the USD99 west elm beauty I was inspired by and to see the other bloggers tagged in the challenge! .

SWIPE for before and after. I've been slowly plugging away at my home office nook/workspace and recently made a Lazy Susan to organise my desk accessories. It's made such a difference and was a super easy DIY project! Tutorial is on the blog. #linkinbio .
