INDOOR HOUSE SLIPPERS

FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER

watch out world

I just bought my first home at 23! This is an accomplishment that I am more than proud to humbly brag about. Since I bought my house, I've been getting super into home decor and appliances + starting to cook some fun meals (trying to release my inner housewife). So, along with fashion tips, I will be sharing my favorite recipes, home decor + appliances.

BRIDGERTON INSPIRED PICNIC | HOW TO SET UP A PERFECT PICNIC VLOG

The theme was heavily inspired by a Bridgerton Inspired Picnic and wanted to do a vlog on how I would set up a perfect picnic. I am all about aesthetics, so for my first picnic, I had to go all out with the flowers, the picnic basket, and find the perfect dress. I hope you guys enjoy it! I am definitely going to be doing more picnics in the future.
