My music tastes are so eclectic. One minute I’d love to listen to Postal Service and Alexi Murdoch only to want to listen to Iggy Azelea and Girl Talk the next. I love music.

This playlist is my chill mix, it’s perfect for a fall evening or during the day to focus. Enjoy!

MyModern: The Beginnings of a Very Cool Home Office

November 4, 2014

 sponsored post

When Breon and I decided to buy a house, I have to say I was super excited about the idea of getting my own office. I’d been working off the couch for a couple years now and that’s really not fun when you’re trying to run a business.

So when AllModern contacted me to work with them, I jumped at the idea. I love their website and had already been perusing it while we were house hunting.

While my office is only in the beginning stages, with their help and the Louis Ghost chair, my office is starting to look polished and welcoming. 🙂 Remember back when I featured the chair in my office chair showdown?

10 Awesome Pop-Culture Halloween Costumes

October 20, 2014

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because of it’s general fun’ness. 🙂 Yes, that is a made up word. But as I struggle every year to come up with cool and unique costume ideas I realize how awesome this holiday is. Here are just 10 fun pop-culture halloween costume ideas for you. Enjoy!

1. That girl you wished you wouldn’t have started a conversation with at a party

Halloween Idea 2014 - SNL That Girl

If you haven’t seen this segment on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update…stop what you are doing and watch this.

2. Tight Pants

Halloween Idea 2014 - Tight Pants

The tight pants skit on Jimmy Fallon show is one of my favorites to watch.

It’s up there with “Eww”.

3. Iggy Azalea

Halloween Idea 2014 - Iggy Azalea

I just love Iggy. Her style is a little out there for me which makes for a perfect halloween costume. Do it up!

4. Tris from Divergent

Halloween Idea 2014 - Divergent

One of my favorite characters this year is Tris. She is brave and not afraid of her fears. Wish I was like her.

5. The Great Gatsby

Halloween Idea 2014 - The Great Gatsby

This is just plain fun. You don’t even need to see the movie, just work the angle of the 1920s.

6. Fifty Shades of Grey

>Halloween Idea 2014 - Fifty Shades of Grey

A fun couple costume! Just bring some handcuffs and a riding crop and most will understand who you are!

7. Michonne from Walking Dead

Halloween Idea 2014 - Michonne

I have to say, Michonne is one of my favorite characters ever. She is amazing and has the best weapon for the zombie apocalypse.

8. Amanda Bynes

Halloween Idea 2014 - Amanda Bynes

You know what to do.

9. Wyldstyle

Halloween Idea 2014 - Wyldstyle Lego Movie

Put on the black wig with extensions and you are set to become Wyldstyle. She is fun and goofy…so do as she would and get silly.

10. Minecraft Steve

Halloween Idea 2014 - Minecraft Steve

Minecraft Steve is the best and probably the easiest of the costumes. Head to target and grab a head, torch, and axe and you’re all set.

Photos: Our Honeymoon in LA

October 12, 2014

So it’s been a few months but after my trip to LA last week (yes, I went again) I wanted to post our honeymoon photos. We did a lot during our time in LA so here are just a few of the fun ones.

Our first stop on our drive down Highway 1 was Hearst Castle. I would recommend the tour of this amazing property.

We seriously had a blast. We went to a few comedy shows and a taping of @midnight too. Literally it’s a haven for comedy so if you want to go see someone – go to LA!
