monday WE sale

happy monday friends!!

hope you enjoyed the weekend --- it always seems to zoom right on by. this morning I found myself scanning through the nordstrom early access sale online for a few minutes while baby was sleeping...then a second later, I looked at the clock and it had been almost an hour. oops!

if you don't have a nordstrom debit/credit card don't worry, only 4 more days to wait until the anniversary sale begins. or maybe you might have to jump on board and get a card to shop the early stuff!

since we can't all enjoy the nordstrom sale today I found a great sale going on over at west elm. and extra 25% off already clearance items with code: EXTRASALE

check out my picks! items starting as low as $9.99 + extra 25% off!

friday diy: $5 floral letter

happy friends friends!!!

what a week it's been. yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the bright night event put on by 4 amazing ladies for a good cause [proceeds going to the women's shelter here in SLC] 

I learned a lot and felt inspired by so many women! I will go into more detail next week about the speakers and wisdom I heard. today I want to share a quick, easy diy by danielle oakley interiors that will only take you about 10 mins + cost you around $5!

so simple + SO cute!

diy simple cacti planter

I've been really wanting to add some more plants/greenery into our place for awhile now, but have felt a little overwhelmed. whether it be the upkeep or just not really knowing what kind of plants to get and how to make them look good.

but today is the day I start by making my own cacti planter! thanks to a beautiful mess blog who has shown me how easy it is!

very little upkeep (water like once or twice a month only) + such a cute, fun look for any kitchen counter, back porch, bedroom or window box.

+ all you need is about 20 minutes (perfect while baby is napping!)

seriously so cute huh?!

supplies needed:

wide, shallow vase

rocks

soil

cactus plants you love (+succulents/aloe if you'd like)

handheld shovel
