We bought a 1970s house…and brought it into the light ✨🏡
This was the after and it’s changed even more since then.
Proof that vision evolves and homes grow with you.

December goals 🤍 Choosing support over pressure, consistency over extremes, and slowing down in a season that asks for more.
Nothing drastic. Nothing performative.
Just habits that feel sustainable, and gentle enough to keep.
If this feels like the kind of December you need, save it.
If someone came to mind while reading this, send it to them.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight… but it does happen when you choose yourself. 🤍
This reel is my skin journey over the last few years, the ups, the flare-ups, the quiet work no one sees.
The last three photos are the most recent, and they’re a reminder that real healing starts when I slow down.
When I stop just treating symptoms and start listening.
healing my gut
protecting my mental health
letting my heart rest from years of stress and trauma
Your body keeps the score.
Your skin speaks when you don’t.
If you’re in a season where your body is asking you to pause… please do.
Put yourself first. Take the time you need to heal. You’re not behind, you’re rebuilding. 🌿

There will come a season where healing matters more than productivity.
This is your permission to honor that season.
If the world feels loud, I hope you remember it’s okay to slow down, step outside, and choose yourself, even if just for a moment 🌿

Clean & FREE 🌱 I have suffered through skin issues for the last three years and I am beyond grateful to be on the better side of it all.
I’ve learned so much through these trials and I want to share my main game changer moments in hopes that I can bring any help to anyone suffering through no answers and skin problems.
1. GUT HEALTH - This was the biggest game changer for me. Not only did I add QUALITY supplements in but worked on my inflammation & digestion & this was the biggest payoff
2. PRODUCTS - There are endless products out there we are touching and around DAILY that are full of crap. I switched 100% of my makeup and detergents, soaps, toothpastes etc to non-toxic clean products & have never looked back
3. STRESS - After being in fight or flight mode for so long, my body knows exactly what happens when I jump back in. All of my flair ups started after 2 solid years of trauma & my body had it written all over.
4. COMMUNITY - Surround yourself with your people. Ones who get it, ones who support, ones you feel comfortable enough to go around with flair ups, those are your people.
Remove toxic, remove triggers because they’re probably not only bringing stress but fragrance based moisturizers and we need to stay the eff away from those 😂✌🏼

A few September highlights 🌻
#septmeber #fallinlove #mystoryofautumn #photodump #lifelately #septemberdump #septemberdays #cozyvibes #septembermagic
15 years married to you and these are just a few of the big things I’ve learned along the way 🫶🏽
• Love isn’t something you fall into, it’s something you choose, over and over.
• True partnership means holding space for each other’s growth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Conflict isn’t the enemy, disconnection is.
• Grace will carry you when feelings can’t.
• The little things? They’re actually the big things. Always.
Here’s to decades more of meeting you here for sushi dates 🍣 #ourlovestory
Fifteen beautiful years of being married to you 💍 @pagammel

POV: Things we don’t regret with our 70’s renovation 🛠️
• LVP throughout the house (except for stairs) because we have boys with hockey sticks and spilled drinks and I refuse to let my floors keep me up at night!
• We are still OBSESSING over our decision to not only put the beautiful @hanstoneca quartz in our countertops but our backsplash too! No grout life over here ✌🏼
• Our dream to add the @deltafaucetcan pot filler was one we didn’t ever NEED but always wished for! We use it almost every day and I still swear it MAKES the kitchen 😍
• I asked many people about adding open shelving instead of upper cabinets in the kitchen and it was always a resounding no - which is why I went for the shelving!! NO REGRETS over here, it makes the kitchen open and decorative!
• Choosing to not add a microwave to our kitchen has to be one of my favourite conversation starters to date 😂 We have never wished for one or ever required it!
