@arrowitforward recently sent over some goodies for me to try, and I am hooked. 

Their candles and wax melts are made with soy and coconut wax in small batches with premium quality fragrance oils – and that’s it! The candles also use natural cotton wicks.

They all smell sooo good, but pyjama day candle might be my fav of the bunch. It smells like fresh bread. The entire household thought I had baked something when I was burning it. 😅🥖

Self-care looks different for everyone. While it’s so much more than just a relaxing bath, a deep soak is an important part of my process – it helps me disconnect and decompress at the end of each week.

I was #gifted these products to try out, but I think they’ll become a repeat purchase. The blend of stevia, thyme, cedarwood and bergamot essential oils is so relaxing. 

If you want to try out this new scent for yourself, you can find it at @shoppersdrugmart!

Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee than any other beverage? I can’t function without a fresh cup in the morning, and I also usually have a cafe latte or a cup of decaf later in the day too, so this came as no surprise to me! ☕️

Unfortunately though, this does add lot of waste to our landfills. @preschoice recently launched sustainable packaging that is estimated to offset hundreds of metric tonnes of waste to our landfills per year – even if you’re not a coffee person, I think that’s something everyone will love! 🙌♻️

What’s your go-to brew?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here! Every winter after the holidays I like to take a little break from content creation for a few weeks to rest and reset. 

This year’s break was a little longer than I had originally intended, but that’s ok. I was feeling a little overwhelmed and just needed a bit of extra time before diving back in. 💕

I have started to work quietly behind the scenes and am super excited about some things that are in the works for this year! I’m looking forward to creating content for you again, and I have some fun brand collabs and giveaways headed your way. In the meantime, here is an old photo because it’s cute and I’m still editing some of the new content 🙈🙈.

How has your 2022 been so far?

I was recently #gifted this phone case from Caseco. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and am truly impressed with the quality of it 🤩. It’s also eco-friendly and made from recycled material!

(P.S. if you’re in the market for a new phone case they also gave me a code for 15% off! It’s “Kaitlyn15”.)

Bedroom Makeover + Getting Ready for the Holidays with Urban Barn

Ever since I renovated my bathroom i have been itching to give my bedroom a makeover as well. There wasn’t anything really wrong with my bedroom, I just kind of felt like I had outgrown it and it wasn’t really “me” anymore.

The last time I had updated was when I was 19 – need I say more? It was full of bright vibrant colours and mixed patterns. Think Kate Spade meets bohemian. 

I actually had only just begun thinking about redoing it, and therefor was  in no rush to update it… but that all changed the second I walked in my local Urban Barn store. I fell in love with their current collection. From faux fur pillows, to heavy knit blankets and duvet covers, it was cozy-vibes all around and everything was calling my name.

My new colour palette for my bedroom was actually inspired by a couple of holiday ornaments from Urban Barn – I fell in love with the mixture of blush pink, silver and grey accents. To me there is something that is just so calming, soothing and yet also inspiring about this colour combo.

(Side note: it’s only now as I’m writing this post that I have realized my bedroom now matches my blog, too!)

When I was making my purchases, I focused on grabbing a few statement pieces like pillows, new bedding and a lamp (which some of you might recognize from my Instagram story when I went was at Urban Barn!) along with some small decor items like candles, from Urban Barn.

[ Room details: Cassar brass table lamp | Berkley throw in Macaron | Blanka duvet in white | Swanky toss 16 x 16 pillow  | Alena toss 12 x 22 pillow | Ornaments | Catelyn faux fur throw ]

Because I was going with such a limited colour palette, I made sure to incorporate lots of different textures throughout the room and mixed up some new and vintage decor items to keep things interesting.

For example, the cute brass deer figure in the photo above is also a vintage find, along with my perfume tray. I also have a couple of vintage teacups around my room, like the pink and gold one you can see beside my bed in some of the photos.

(Bonus: teacups make for a cute storage solution! I toss my bobby pins and hair ties in the one beside my bed at the end of the night.)

In order to save some money, I updated my current furniture, storage and decor items by getting a little crafty.

The majority of my furniture was white and so are my walls, which really helped to keep the cost down. I originally did this on purpose so that if I ever decided to redo my room it was an easy fix. It’s kind of like having a blank canvas!

I had one side table that I originally had painted a bright teal and with a little bit of spray paint it transformed into a brand new piece. (You can see this in one of the photos towards the beginning of the post.)

The white round side table that the tree is on was originally in another room and was brown. I updated it with some white chalk paint. (Fun fact: this table was originally my great grandmothers!)

For my storage solutions, I picked up some white cardboard photo boxes from the dollar store and gave it a makeover using some faux-marble vinyl I already had on hand. I also used the vinyl on a plain wooden tray that I painted white using the same paint from the side table.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with how my bedroom turned out! It’s exactly what I would hope it would be. It is warm, cozy and soothing.

If it was socially acceptable to stay in bed and hibernate all winter I would never leave this room.

There is still one blank wall that needs to be taken care of, but I have a couple of ideas for that already in terms of wall art. I will most likely end up sharing that either on here or my IG stories once that is complete.

I’d also like to give a huge shout out to Urban Barn for making my bedroom makeover dreams come true!

I went back and forth between getting this sweater from @cavologybrand in the black & tan version to match Ruffi, or the tri version to honour our sweet girl Kodee (which is what I ended up doing!) – she always “helped” with wrapping by sitting on top of the paper whenever you tried to roll it out and loved to nap under the Christmas tree post present opening🎄.
