This is the last home we’ll visit today from the set of Big Little Lies in lovely Monterey, California. We’ve seen the homes of Madeline and Celeste, and today we’ll see the unbelievable home of Renata Klein.

Well, I managed to get one Seven on a Saturday post up. I had great intentions of getting one up yesterday, but the first week of school is a little stressful and lot of work, so I didn’t get to write it. Then the weekend has flown by because of all of the social events that were on our calendar. (I’m bragging a little because that never happens.) But for real, we had two gatherings this weekend, so blogging had to wait. Needless to say, I’m bring you a Seven on a Saturday post tonight, Sunday.
As I may have mentioned before, Instagram is my preferred form of social media. So it’ll come as no surprise that I’ve found seven more things from Instagram this week to share with you. I’ll link the handle of each photo source so you can follow these accounts too. Continue reading “Seven on a Saturday – On a Sunday”
We’re going back to Monterey, California today to visit another home of the HBO series, Big Little Lies. Last week we took a peek into Madeline’s home.
Today we’ll be looking at Celeste Wright’s home. Remember how there were walls of windows in Madeline’s home? Well, it’s practically the same here. And even though the views are a tad different, Celeste’s views are equally as stunning.

Happy August 1st!
I’m back to school today. 🙁 Sad that my summer break is over but happy to be sharing my favorite things from July. One of which was my anniversary yesterday. Happy 8 years to us! You can read all about our wedding here.
Okay, let’s get to it. Continue reading “Currently Loving- July 2018”
If you’ve never heard of Big Little Lies, get yourself to a library or to Amazon RIGHT NOW and get the book. Read it in the day and a half it’ll take you because you will absolutely not want to put it down, have yourself a day to process what just happened, then binge watch the series on HBO. You’re welcome.
The book takes place in Australia, but the series takes place in Monterey, California. I’m convinced there wasn’t a more beautiful backdrop for the show. You’ll see what I mean when you see the views from the characters’ homes. Today we’re taking a peek into Madeline Mackenzie’s home. Reese Witherspoon plays this character, and if you’ve seen the show you know that this kitchen is spectacular. Continue reading “Movie Set Monday- Big Little Lies Part One”
Cheers to the weekend, amiright?
I came across seven things during this week that I wanted to share with you. All can be found on Instagram. That’s my favorite social media platform and where you can find most of my happenings, so if you’re not following me there yet, I’d love to have you. Continue reading “Seven on a Saturday”
Remember that time I painted that canvas navy blue? 
Well, I just kept thinking it was too much blue in one corner. So, I painted it again…
Except I had two square canvases and decided to paint them as opposites. (This turned out to be an all out disaster, and I ended up with two paintings that looked like a 2 year old did it. Instead, I did two similar paintings.) Continue reading “DIY Abstract Painting”
When you move into an apartment owned by your in-laws, you get a few added perks like old furniture pieces that they have stored in the building or that have been left behind by old tenants.
Case in point- this full length mirror.
When you start scrolling through these pictures you’re going to say, “Elizabeth, what is wrong with you? Why did you pick this house? The wallpaper. The tile countertops. The wallpaper. The patterns. The wallpaper.” 🙂
But hear me out. This house is iconic. We’ve all seen Home Alone and could recognize the exterior anywhere. It’s a massive, gorgeous home. Though the inside may be behind in our modern day decor, it’s still a great home with many things to enjoy. Continue reading “Movie Set Monday- Home Alone”
I think I’ve finally found what works for my skin! 
I can hear the Hallelujah chorus.
In all seriousness, it’s taken me a very long time to figure things out in the skincare department. I have extremely oily skin. So oily that I can do my makeup at 6:30 in the morning and by the time I get to school at 7:30, I’m already in need of blotting papers or powder. I’ve dealt with this from adolescence to now along with the occasional breakout. I had terrible acne as a teenager, but luckily, my parents recognized it and got me to a dermatologist ASAP. She said I’d grow out of it in my 20s. That was mostly true other than monthly hormonal breakouts. But it’s still oily and I have large pores that often result in blackheads.
