Morning Coffee: Distractions, Sleepovers, & Press On Nails

February 26, 2022 · In: Saturday Morning Coffee Date

Happy Saturday! Grab a cup of coffee and snuggle up in your favorite seat of the house as we chat about all things home, life, and randomness.

Let’s be real, there is a lot of heaviness going on right now. This week Russia invaded Ukraine and the world watches as the peace we all prayed for is threatened. And while we all have mixed feelings and we are all entitled to internally dealing with these current events in our own way, there is one thing that’s certain. A temporary distraction is theraputic.

I’m not saying to ignore what’s happening, but I am saying that every so often, our brains need to decompress. That’s why I believe so strongly that practicing simple organization is something we all need right now.

When you are organizing a drawer, or straightening a cabinet, or alphabetizing your spices, you are forcing your mind to focus on something. Between figuring out the best system for storing your makeup or playing container-Tetris to fill up an entire cabinet, you are giving your brain an emotional break.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed this week, I want to encourage you to find one small organizing task that will keep you busy for 15-30 minutes. Turn off the TV, tell Alexa to “play cleaning music” and just zone out. It’s amazing what a little organization can do for your well-being.

Beddys bedding review from a mom

What’s On My Mind This Saturday Morning

My son is hosting a “boys weekend” with his friends at our house, and this popcorn machine is popping on repeat. Add some movie theater box candy and blueberry soda, and these are happy fellas.

Nigel sent me this shrimp dip recipe and I am dying to try it. My mouth waters every time I watch the video…and I watch it a lot…

Modsy just dropped a 30% off flash sale for room designs, and I think I may get one for guest bedroom. It’s the final room in our house that hasn’t been de-gray-ified. Update: The flash sale is over. Wah-wahhhhh.

Update #2: All those The Home Edit bins from Walmart are still in my trunk…it’s been three weeks. Don’t look at me.

Red Aspen nails Meet Me In Sonoma

One Last Thought

Last week I mentioned that I ordered some press on nails from Red Aspen and promised I’d report back with how they turned out. I ended up ordering three different Nail Dashes, and I applied the Meet Me In Sonoma set yesterday. I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised.

I didn’t know what to expect with faux nails, but these look super natural. I usually chip or smudge my nails just one day after painting them, so knowing these will look as good as new until they pop off is pretty cool. I’ll let you know next week how they hold up. I’m not making any promises or claims just yet…

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.

If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the closet, they may just need to be turned around. Make sure the booty seam is facing backward so all you see is a nice straight line.
Slim line hangers and arranging from light to dark shades also make your denim stash look just like a store in your closet.
