Blogtober Day 29! Monday Questionnaire on a Tuesday

1.)Mood?

-Worn out. My second day on my new job, while I'm trying to keep a clean house, clean laundry, and everyone happy.

2.) Can you say the ABC's backwards without stumbling?

-No, I can do it but it takes some thinking time.

3.) What is the closest green object to you?

-The grass. It's a cold and rainy day, but I'm sitting on my screened in porch drinking coffee.

4.) Current nail polish:

-My at home Sally Hansen French Manicure set. Not the best, but I love the look of French Manicures!

5.) What is your favorite song at the moment?

-Same as last week, I don't have one.

I rarely have a favorite.

6.) Current outfit:

-My new Khaki's from New York and Company, a Royal Blue sweater from Target and leopard flats.

7.) What coverage of foundation do you prefer most: light, medium, full, or none at all?

-I guess a medium to full coverage look on most days. Weekends I don't get too crazy, but my work days I prefer something that is going to last.

8.) What color are the walls of your bedroom?

-I rent, so we can't paint. They are just a cream/beige color. Nothing spectacular.

9.) What is your zodiac sign? Do you think its characteristics represent you?

-Sagittarius. I really don't follow zodiac symbols that closely, but I'm pretty sure I'm completely opposite of what I should be.

10.)Weekly goals:

-Learn as much as I can on my new job, stay positive about work and my home life, and have a Happy Halloween!

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought. We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you. Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas. Almo

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock.

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step! This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 " We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13" Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive. Once home, let the staining begin. After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves. We used sand bags to weigh down e
