Love List-28; Home Renovations and Tiny Anchors

It’s a fresh new year and it’s always nice to have a new start!  On this week’s love list we’re saying goodbye to Christmas and planning big things for the new year.

1. We put away our Christmas mugs, but still wanted something fun for Ben for hot cocoa (we’ve been making Abuelita’s hot chocolate – $3.18 on Amazon) and we found these personalized mugs we’re going to get for the kids.
2. A friend got this Exploding Kittens card game and said it was hilarious and fun playing it, so naturally now it’s on my list!
3. I tried this Dr. Dennis Gross skincare exfoliating peels things, and what in the world, I can actually tell a difference after 2 weeks (I only use it every other day and only at night, until my skin gets used to it, but wow!!)

   

4. Loved this post/article about ‘tiny anchors‘ and I couldn’t agree more. P.S., morning coffee is definitely one of my tiny anchors!

Bridget’s Picks

1. We’re about to break ground on a house addition/renovation so I am fully engulfed in house inspiration pictures all over the internet!  Some of my favorite places to look for inspiration are here and here.  Oh, and of course, Pinterest.
2. Loving this IKEA dresser hack that I saw on At Charlotte’s House blog.  I love how it turned out and need to find a place for it in my house.
3. One of my favorite daily emails (The Daily Good from The Good Trade) recommended this podcast that is great for beginners in the kitchen, so give it a listen.

Alyssa’s Picks

1. I’m looking for ideas to redo one of my bathrooms at home and came across this wood style called ‘board and batten‘. I think it would be an easy way to refresh a small bathroom!
2. While I’m on the topic of home design…I’ve always wanted to do a wall like this one! I’m still saving this idea for the future.
3. These workouts have been amazing during the past year! I used to take a few classes at my gym and then started doing workouts at home and these have been lifesavers. Plus, they can be done with equipment or no equipment!
4. This is one of my favorite snacks but they are hard to find unless I buy them online! SO many flavors and a healthier option too!
