AD: Alright guys, its officially "Maker's Hour!" I shared with you some ways that I like to prioritize my me- time in my last posts, and today I'm taking some time for myself, and making myself a Bourbon Mule, using @makersmark Bourbon. The recipe is super easy, like super. Join me and tell me how you like to celebrate your "me-moments!" https://lnk2.io/whccSm5 #MakersHour

So pre-COVID , I didn’t realize how much “me time” I had without even trying. Things like riding alone in the car before and after work listening to the radio. Eating lunch in the courtyard at work alone if i wanted, or even leaving work early and doing some shopping by myself or whatever. When The shutdown first started, me time went out the window, and it affected me hard!

Now more than ever, me time is a must or I’m gon’ lose my mind, up in here, up in here. 2 of my favorite things to do is to have cocktail hour (or 2) alone catching up on This is Us and A Million Little Things, and the other is a nice walk. Simple but needed.

Is me time a need for you too? What’s your fav thing to do? Oh and I may or may not have lit my fireplace the other day. Atlanta temps were tripping🤨

So it's been about a month since we got our @stainmaster PetProtect® carpet installed, and we are still walking on cloud nine, literally. I'm trying to tell you all about the padding! It's cushioned like no other!

However, I would be lying if I didn't say that our carpet has not already experienced some casualties, but I'm happy to report that it cleared like new. Can you guess who was responsible? Your choices are the dogs or Juju? #stainmaster #lowesgoals #lowespartner #ad

Cheers to the freaking weekend! I just placed an order for furniture for my newly stained patio and I can’t wait for it to arrive and make it all pretty! In the meantime, I’ll be making tackling my dining room cabinet this weekend as a gift to myself for Mother’s day. What are you guys up to this weekend?

Rose bushes are like children...If you feed them and protect them, they are most likely to bloom into healthy and vibrant members of society, or at least your garden area ;)

(ad) My rose bushes have been around for almost 10 years, and the @bioadvanced Rose & Flower care 3-system product fertilizes, promoting strong and healthy blooms, protects against insects, and protects against disease.

It's easy to use, simply by spreading the granules around the base of the bush and watering. If you are a rose bush owner, it's important that we not only feed them in the spring, but that they are protected as well!

Do you like rose bushes? What color roses are your fav? mine is this rich hot pink!

So word on the street is that the @oneroomchalleng

So word on the street is that the @oneroomchallenge is starting this week and I’ll be on the sideline rooting some of my favs along. I completed this space this time last year and it was the perfect distraction to all the COVIDness going last year.

If you are new here, this is my powder room that I made over during last years challenge. Still very much in love with it. For those who have been around and know how much my family disrespects me by leaving the toilet paper roll empty every time in this room, no worries, they are still just as disrespectful as last year🙄.

Any of you participating this year? Swipe to see the space before, and I even through in a photo of the space at listing. 📸 @hannahlozanophoto

Once you go black, well, you know the rest! My dec

Once you go black, well, you know the rest! My deck got a much needed facelift using the
Cabot® Solid Color Decking Stain in Black and a couple of my new favorite tools from @purdypainttools. If you caught a glimpse in my stories, you saw that I was able to easily stain my new deck using the Purdy Lambskin roller with RevolutionTM 9" Frame and Purdy POWER LOCKTM Extension Pole. For the more intricate areas, I used the Chinex® EliteTM paint brush, which was perfect because of its stiffer bristles.

I always advocate for using proper tools to get the job done the right way. Using the Lambskin roller allowed for a smooth application of the stain on to my deck, and the POWER LOCKTM Extension Pole made application process much easier. The Chinex® EliteTM paint brush was perfect for the more detailed areas that required a more involved application process.

It's important to me to protect my outdoor space, especially because of its age, so I'm always seeking products to help achieve that high-performance and premium look. I chose @cabotstain for this because of its protective wood finishes and surface-protection qualities.

Staining my deck black was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I am so glad I did. Nothing worth while resides in our comfort zones.

I can’t wait to decorate it over the next few weeks! So, what do you think? Did you guess right?

The sweet look of progress! If you followed along

The sweet look of progress! If you followed along in my stories today, you will see that I cleaned and prepped my deck for staining. This may not look like much, but if you swipe through, you will see where we started. I even gave tips on how you approach a pile of stuff with safety in case a critter is living under it. If you already saw my stories, then you already know. 😂

Now that it’s cleaned, on Monday we stain! Can you guess what color I am staining it?
