MOVING WEEK IN MY LIFE 🏡 let's decorate the new house!!

[music] >> And a lot prettier than most that come in here. Fair, but not friendly like some redheads. >> Good morning, y'all. Welcome back to another week in my life vlog. I'm about to head out to my workout. I have everything packed up. I've been Having the office feels like I'm like back in school because when I was in school people would do it in an office. Actually, I guess not everyone picks out their outfit the night before. But, I love to pick out my outfit the night before, have everything good to go, everything packed up. Anyway, I'm going to wear this set of active set. I'm going to Sculpt. I just wear cuz it's just been so hot out and sometimes my sets are just like barely sets. So, if I like want to wear something over it, I just wear these massive Abercrombie shirts. Today is friend of mine's third birthday. And what's funny about friend of mine's birthday is that I [clears throat] don't actually know what it is. And I think originally it was supposed to launch September 5th, and then it got pushed 3 days, and then I thought it was September 8th, but then I got texts from friends that it was like their memories, and they screenshotted their first order, and that was 6th of September 6th, so you know, it's just kind of like a concept, but we're doing like our birthday drop today, and I'm bringing my birthday basket to the office, and I'm going to organize a little bit. I definitely plan to get more stuff done around the office this weekend, but we ended up just having like so much going on that I didn't even make it over one time to do that stuff, so we have some things to get done there. Last Friday, I got a ton of fabric to cover our boards, which is going to be so cute once I can like do our L and S board. >> [music] >> I'm very, very excited about that one. So, that'll be good. I feel like it might be a slick back day. I might need to pull this. All right, guys. Back we go. Going to the lake this weekend and next weekend. I'm so tired, but anyways, we're moving. The best part of a new home project is when you go in to see it the next morning. Wow, I've started back on my gallery wall for hosting. I This was always the plan, and then when I hung up in here, wasn't actually things that I had hosted. It was just photo shoots that we have for a friend of mine, so I moved those to the office, and then these are just all the different parties and memories and things. I mean, not every single one I've hosted, cuz I don't have photos of a good chunk of them. That's why I started hiring photographer, because I would spend so much time and effort on these parties, and then I had like no photos. And I'm such a like nostalgic memories girl. So, this just makes me so happy. So, obviously eventually, we have one that broke that Charlie fixed that needs to go up over there, but eventually, the entire wall will be full of stuff from hosting, which is really exciting. But anyway, I came out here to grab my birthday basket, because I'm very into the office today. The birthday basket is really everything. >> [music] [music] >> This is like insane. Here we go. It's just like I want to make sure it's as tight as possible. >> The good news is that you actually [music] don't staple yourself because there's no back. It doesn't go in. >> Oh, okay. I don't see how that's good news, but >> Well, if it if it was a bit too hard >> If I staple myself, there is no good news. >> [music] >> Can you do the other side first? And then if you give me your scissors, I'll go ahead and cut Yeah, this. >> Hold on. >> Or Or wait, I have to >> I need you on this side first. We want to pull it as tight. >> pull it tight on that side? [music] >> We're also going to pre-cut it. >> This is like the cheapest thing ever. All of this cost, I think like $500 for all three of them. >> Wow. >> I do think it's a little slanted. So, I guess we'll see. Big reveal. Oh, no, it's perfect. It looks good. Great. Oh my god, this is amazing. This is the best thing ever. We have two more to do. It's just an insulation board with fabric that we staple guns. I saw it on TikTok. I know a lot of people do this, but wow, so nice and it looks beautiful. It's also great because like something of this size would just be so expensive and it was so like inexpensive compared to what it would like normally cost. Love this. Welcome to my new LNS. We're going to do staples for this, Charlie. Same thing. Yeah, this size is fine cuz it's just going to go across the whole wall like this. So. >> Hold on before you do anything. Actually, we're going to pull it tight after you put it down. >> [music] >> All right, do this corner first. >> [music] >> All right, and we got to staple off of it though. I'm going to follow you. You pull. >> Okay. >> [music] >> All right, you can fold. >> All right, let's see. Oh, it looks good. Yeah. All right, some updates. We haven't done this board. It's the afternoon now. I did add on these ties, which I like a lot and they're fun cuz I don't like the curtains are just kind of like bland, you know? But it did bring a lot more light in here, which is great. Also, I went through my stash of stuff and I found all these old curtains that were like my aunt's. And honestly, I mean they would need to be like taken in, but kind of love that. So, we're going through that. This fabric is going to be as you guys probably saw last week or maybe earlier in this vlog, that's going to be over the bulletin board in my office. And then here, I'm going to have I was going to do a Gray Malin print, but I think the one I got is like too small for that area. So, I actually don't know exactly what I'm going to do. I am still wanting to do the gallery wall thing here and then I'm going to do the cork board here. So, that's good. And then we did finish these. So, we did move this in here. I'm going to have this board actually mounted and this is going to be like our LNS if you will with all of our canvases in here. We're going to get two lamps, books, fake florals, the whole thing. So, that'll be good. And then we have a lot of stuff cuz we're still mid moving. We got a bunch of like fabrics and stuff back today, but this looks amazing. I know I've already shown it, but love that. Good morning, y'all. It is now Wednesday. It is 7:00 a.m. I'm heading out to my workout. I strength train. I've talked about this a billion times, but I strength train 3 days a week and then I take strength sculpt. I lift like very heavy. I'm like I'm a bodybuilder. No, guys. I hate the way I said that, but I lift heavy. I have been lifting for I don't know. Yesterday was the 400th class, so probably like I think I've been going there for like 5 years at this point. I can never remember when I started going. And also even if I'm like, "Oh, I've been going since 2022." I'm like, "Wait, 2 years ago." And then I'm like, "Wait a second." You know, that's crazy. But I have become like very close friends. This is not new. This is like in the past couple like years at this point, but I've become very close friends with my friends that I work out with. One like owns the gym and then just like other two friends of ours. I love them. And it's funny because like we actually do hang out at the school. Like one of them was the one who was here Sunday night late or Monday night late and is like in my fantasy league. Like we actually hang out like outside of the gym and stuff, but it almost feels like school friends. Mainly because like I'm like 10 years younger than them, less than 10 years younger than them. A little No, I'm 10 years younger than them. And it's just like so fun. But anyway, I like need my morning workout and this is our hack to doing the workout. When you strength train, you can like talk through the class. So, that really helps because I when I go to sculpt like strength sculpt, I love the class, but I'm like, "Oh, I can't gossip with my friends." Like that sucks. Here's the key though. You just need to work out with your friends or be friendly with who you work out next to. And then it's like every morning I'm going I'm like, "Oh, I'm going to see my friends. It's like not the workout, you know? I actually love the workout. I genuinely like working out. Like I'm not especially cuz I like what I like the kind of workouts that I do. Strength training is just like the best because you can feel yourself getting better. It's like the best thing for you with aging. It feels kind of like a sport or practice because I'm consistently getting better and I can see that versus like of course if you're and I love Pilates and stuff like if you're in Pilates it's different because there's less markers like your weights are like typically lower anyway. So you can't really see the difference between like oh, when I started I was doing five and now I'm doing like 40. You know what I mean? Like you can see the actual difference and you can feel the difference and just in general like when you're like playing with kids or whatever like I notice it so much more. Anyway, all that to say highly recommend strength training, highly recommend becoming friends with who you like to workout with cuz it makes it so much more fun. Guys, you will never believe this. I watched Practical Magic last night for the first time ever. I don't know how I had not seen that movie and how it was not like a staple of my cuz that is so like my vibe of a movie. Like I do not know how I haven't seen it. Loved it. Charlie obsessed. Like how would Charlie not see it? He watches like every movie ever. Anyway, great movie. I don't know how I was like I needed to do a Practical Magic dinner party. We need to do the whole thing. I do. I do. Good morning y'all. I'm at the office now. It's a couple hours later. It's 11:30. I just took a call, did a bunch of podcast stuff and we are about to head off not head off. We're about to hop on a wedding design call for our like general invitations, general vibe, all those things. I want to get this done sooner rather than later because I might like I'm very lucky because obviously I have like a home and hosting brand. So there's certain vendors and stuff that I might have things made that are custom. I don't know that for a fact um but I want to get our stuff done like sooner rather than later. So anyway, here's what I'm wearing today. This is actually the top that we got engaged in. I wasn't thinking about it, but jeans, these Guys, where are we buying jeans? I cannot find jeans. I love my Abercrombie curve love jeans, but like I need like a Morgan Stewart jean. You know what I'm saying? Like I just need and I need them in every single color and I need them to be like straight leg and fit me perfectly and not stretch out and I like so desperately need them, so please let me know. >> [music] >> I have misophonia, so when I hear people chewing >> Like it it would be to the point where like I would >> But I can try to do it as quiet as possible and it won't matter. >> Yeah. [music] >> [laughter] >> No, but it's like >> That's actually fair. >> It actually drives me up like my whole family has it and like there's certain friends of mine that I like won't eat with but because I would never say something like I would never >> But it just feels like we're going out to dinner would be fun. >> All right, we're getting on our design call. Hello. >> Hey, hey, hey, Haley. >> I'm so excited for this call. I'm going to say >> Yeah, yeah. Okay, Haley, so I really don't have as much of a vision around this as like you would think. [music] >> these people card number things or something like that and like just like that I don't have it in my brain. I don't need to know exactly how it's like going to be die cut. >> If I like need to make those decisions and it makes it so much easier on you like we can do that. We actually are back in on like September 20th. I'll probably have a little bit better of an idea and [music] we're starting to like book more stuff, so I think that that will help me and there's of course things that I'll want to do that are like more personalized and stuff. Like we're going to also write like an thank you like a note to every single person at their table. Okay, I'm the last one in the office, but my new chairs have arrived from Wayfair and I think they're perfect for my office. Let's see. Anyway, chair's honestly comfortable. It's big, which is what I needed. Love this thing. So, I'm off to get my facial. I'm going to look crazy, so I'll probably I'll probably talk to you guys tomorrow cuz my skin's going to look absolutely insane. Tomorrow is going to be a really big like setup day for the office. Good morning, y'all. I got my microneedling done yesterday, and honestly, my skin has been not even that red. Microneedling is by far the best treatment I've ever gotten. It makes your skin like so tight, and your pores disappear. They gave me this sheet mask. They said to do it last night, and I didn't. So, I'm doing it now. It's like 6:00 a.m. I'm up early to stitch a little, watch a podcast. Um I can't work out this morning, actually. So, I'm going to have a nice little morning at home getting ready. Okay, I don't know if This feels kind of wrong. Oh god. Okay. I just felt like my skin has been looking really dull. And also, I've been meaning to get microneedling done every month. And now, I mean, I've got over a year until our wedding, but I think for prep and stuff, I needed to start now and get into the routine of it. I'm not doing like bride like all the crazy like whatever stuff, but I want to feel good. And also, it's just an excuse because that will just be in my everyday. So, with that being said, if you were to done like skin prep or things for your wedding, what did you do, and what do you think was worth it? This is something that I just like would do period. Like I get microneedling done. I I don't know. I I've been consistent with it, but I've got microneedling done probably like five or six times. Also, y'all, my starter is so active. Perfect. I wish I was going to be home, but I think we're going to do date night cuz I would just try to bake some loaves for the lake house tomorrow. But I don't think I'm going to be able to do that. so >> You could always bring it to the office. >> Maybe I try. Let's see. >> [music] >> Hi my girls. We're at the office today. I'm trying to get the remainder of the stuff that we can just like moved in unboxed. I got my new chairs. I just need to move things away or around and organize to the best of my ability before we get like the rest of our stuff because we have like two major shoot days next week. We'll have the whole team in town next week. So there's only four of us, but we'll all be here. So I need to get all that situated. Um I have a podcast recording day. I There's a bunch of us lots of meetings. Like it's just it's a busy week. That's basically what I'm getting at. Also, look at how perfect this is. It has like chickens everywhere in this office because it's like uh obviously iconic. Update on getting the office, I think it was the best thing I've done because it is just so much better to like leave my house and go somewhere and with Friend of Mine specifically, one we were growing and two like we just had so much stuff everywhere and like products and everything and I just needed it laid out. So today, I'm going to move the chairs around. We're going to move the other chairs, the pink striped ones. I love those, but I I mentioned this before, the fabric is terrible. People only ever sat on those for the podcast and they're like stained all over and like no one not one single time did they stain ever like anything when they were sitting on those chairs. So eventually as we develop Friend of Mine product, I will get those like refinished. I'm just kind of like holding out until we do that. So I'm going to switch the chairs out. We need to sell the boucle couch. Bye boucle couch. We're done with with trend. And figure out that situation and then I'm going to set up our like LNS, which is going to be our board with all of our like needlepoint canvases and stuff. And just get as many things done as possible. Um because we have that shoot and stuff, I'm not trying I would also be like can't afford it, but I'm not trying to like furnish everything all at once because we need the space for the shoots and whatnot. So, just going getting stuff situated. We also got a speaker. Oh, this is not the speaker I brought over an Sorry everyone. So, now I can have music playing and the vibes are going to be so good. And honestly, it already looks like really cute over here. Like I like that vibe. So, anyway, I do really want to paint the cabinets like so desperately. They're fine, they're just like not my vibe. But these are things that are just like unfortunately not taking priority. However, they're priority to me, you know, but like not to anyone not to people who, you know, do the finances of this I'm the one who does the finances. It's priority to me, but you know, probably not a priority as far as like the other things that we need [music] to be doing. So, that won't be happening anytime soon, but I do hope and pray that it happens. >> [music] >> All right, guys. My lips look insane because I don't have any makeup on and this is my outfit, but we are going to start you and I are going to start decorating the friend of mine LNS, that's at our office only. So, we are just going to pin this. You guys saw how we did this earlier. And we're taking a bunch of needle point canvas. I also need to say, so many of the pre-orders {slash} big massive restocks that we placed for like the Dolly Garden canvas, like all of the like core stuff that you guys want and have asked for for so many times, they're finally starting to arrive. We've placed multiple orders. Like there's going to be a big restock coming very soon. That's why you always want to get on the restock notifications. And then, there's another restock for like Christmas [snorts] and whatever. We have like multiple of them coming. So, stay tuned. And if you are in LNS, we do sell wholesale. You guys can just go on the website. We use wholesale drill other really nice. They're really convenient. Also, these push pins are little pearls. And I'm realizing now that these are not enough. >> [music] [music] >> All right, giving y'all some office updates. This pillow is like an old family pillow, and then this one is you guys know the story at this point. But anyway, I really like the new chairs. I can't wait for somebody to be hanging there. I can't wait for the block to be painted. And I love the rug. So, we're keeping this. Now, over here, this whole situation is still a big mess. And honestly, like it's going to be kind of for a little bit, but I love this. I cannot wait for this to be hung up on the wall and everything to be situated. It's going to be incredible once it's actually like ready to go. Good morning, y'all. It is Friday. I have a workout soon. It's 7:00. I just spent an hour stitching and listening to the Calamity Club. I'm trying to finish it this weekend because I need to recap it on the podcast for y'all. And oh my god, it's so good. You have to listen to the audiobook. Anyway, um right now, I'm about to do a little like 20-minute cleanout of my closet because I found that like my tops are a little unorganized, that stuff is unorganized, like falls back, whatever. So, I need to go through to um bag some stuff for donations. Oh, you know what? I should wear and I need to pack for the lake, but I have a workout soon. I'm going to wear these on the boat tomorrow. I got these, so excited. Haven't worn them. Like we were barely in the pool this summer, granted we were gone, and it still is warm enough for the next like probably month and a half, 2 months to go in the pool here. I mean, these are things that I'll have forever. We're going to the lake today, as you guys know. But I'm going to do a little like 20-minute donation of things really quickly, cuz I'm trying to just do like I find that with organizing your closet specifically, you think you need like a full day, and it takes you like an hour, you know? So, if I just do like 20-minute cleanups and stuff, then I'll be good, you know? And then I need to pick out what I'm going to wear to work out, and then I'm just going to go straight to the office and get some stuff there, and then come back here. We need to get some groceries because we're in charge of a couple meals while we're at the lake with my family. Also, it's like I'll wear this, but I wear this like every day, so I don't even know where the shorts are for it. >> [music] [music] >> All right, so this is done and set up. This is our new like Murphy bed situation. You pull this drawer all the way out and then you bring that down and then there's the mattress, but it's not my like favorite looking thing ever. I mean it's fine. Really what drives me crazy is the black doors. Like guys, what color should I be painting these? Cuz that has to happen stat. Anyway, this will be cute to have like a painting of over it and books and like florals and all that stuff. So really cute nice. We'll add a cute little rug in here and then depending like this room will probably be like more of a flex room which is like over time it'll kind of just be like whatever we need it to be. It might end up being another like communal workplace. We might get like a rug and like a big table where people can work back here so we have like different working spaces and they can take calls and everything, but I'm glad that is done finally. Guys, office update. Here we are. Things are looking way better. I hung this up this morning. This is the greatest thing that we've ever done. I have this stuff. This will be reupholstered. Best couch ever. Need to think figure out what's going to go up there. Same situation. This is going to be the ottoman, entry table, design book wall. Obviously, the dream would be to I don't even think I would necessarily need to paint. Like, I think we can make the kitchen work, but the black doors and stuff, like, that's got to go. So, I need paint suggestions. Um and then eventually we'll replace these chairs, too, but they're just here for the time being. This is our little situation over here. More books, coffee station, which we'll have set up. We are going to do like fun things for snacks and everything. This eventually will be like a plate wall of some sort. We haven't really done much outside. Um this is going to be, you know, slowly but surely we're getting over there. My dream would be to take our silk scarves and have them framed and have them go down this office or this uh hallway. So, that's the dream. Over here, we have a bunch of our mahjong mats. We're going to hang them. We got something to hang them up here, which will be cute. I want new chairs. I would love to wallpaper this room like so much. So, that's also the dream. We have tassels coming to make this cuter. This is our L&S wall that you guys saw yesterday. That's looking great. And then over here, oh, my office. I don't know if I've already said all of this, but you guys have seen this throughout the week. Still deciding on that stuff, but that's what we have here. We still need to cover that. And then down this hallway, I finally kind of like fixed it up a little bit today. That's the guest room situation or not the guest room, but pullout situation. And then we have some extra Like, this is like vintage Like, this is like stuff that my mom and my grandma made for their company forever ago. So, and then we have all of that, which will be nice. And that is the update for the office currently. So, I'm like, yeah, everything's coming along. We need to paint these. This is like the one thing that I'm like, I actually would want to do that sooner rather than later cuz it just like is really throwing off the vibe. See how it all looks too modern? It's not very like friend of mine. Anyway, that is that. Um, I'm actually going to go home and get ready and leave for the lake house today. So, I'll see you guys in my next vlog. Bye. >> [music] [music]
