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…

They come with a card inside you can write on, but I used a Cricut Joy and Writable Vinyl to make these cute label stickers. 🙌🏼
Do you have a running “too small” bin in your Do you have a running “too small” bin in your kid’s room?
Kids grow out of clothes SO quickly, and the ones that don’t fit often get left in the closet or drawers until we have time to deal with them.
To cut down on clutter, add a “too small” bin to their room. It saves you time and keeps their clothing that still fits tidy and easy to find. 🙌🏼

Decanting is great for items you buy in bulk to cut down on cost and packaging waste, as well as to keep some foods fresher for longer. But DON’T fall for the pretty organizing videos of every single thing moved into different jars.
I have seen some people decanting lotion, peanut butter, and even toothpaste, and I’m here to prove it’s a complete waste of your time and money. ✨What’s the weirdest decanting video you’ve ever seen?✨

And it’s ALWAYS the ✨hidden trash✨ for me!
