The Greatest Gift Idea for Mother’s Day and More!

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Mother’s Day is this weekend and you probably already have purchased any gifts that you may need. But on the chance that you haven’t or really just need a gift idea for any future upcoming events or holidays, I always recommend the Our Place Always Pan. Like always, for everything. I have their pan, pot, bakeware set, and even some of their tableware!

And if you do need a last minute Mother’s Day gift, you can always get a gift card.

During my quick trip to LA, I may have stopped into the Our Place store by Glossier on Melrose (Glossier post potentially coming soon…) and learn even more about their offerings and deepened my love for the brand.

Reason I love Our Place

  1. The Our Place Always Pan. I don’t love to cook, but after cooking the last thing I want to do is scrub dirty dishes. The Aways Pan is dishwasher safe. Need I say more?
  2. Short Night + Day Glasses. Sometimes it’s the simple things and the fact that this glasses are stackable is just something that can’t be overlooked or undervalued. Especially if you live in a tiny apartment with little to no cabinet space.
  3. The Bakeware Set. Specifically the included oven mat. In addition to being dishwasher safe, this eliminates the need for foil and I’m here for that kind of sustainability.
  4. Appliances. Now this is new territory for me, as I didn’t know Our Place made appliances. But apparently they have options from a blender to a 6-in-1 air fryer/toaster oven. My mind was blown!
  5. Titanium. New to the Always Pan collection is the Titanium Always Pan Pro, which is nonstick and coating-free. I really just loved how pretty and professional it looked. And you can also get it in a bundle.

AND Our Place is currently having their annual Spring Sale! Get up to 40% off sitewide! You are welcome.

Getting into the Holiday Spirit

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle, and contains affiliate links.

If ever there was a year that we could all use a little more cheer, this is that year. I typically am not one to jump into the holiday season the day after Halloween, but decided to make an exception. My holiday candles are out and lit. I even swamped out my usual throw blanket, for a more festive one. And if you think I’m not playing Christmas music, then well, I just don’t know what to tell you.

Thankfully, Nordstrom has everything you need to get into the holiday spirit! 

Hot cocoa (or in my case, hot strawberry milk) and marshmallows are always better in a holiday themed mug. I’m not sure why, they just are.

Cozy throws in shades of reds, greens, and creams, scream Christmas, and as the snow falls, there’s no place I’d rather be than snuggled under one on my couch, while wearing my favorite sweater and coziest slippers.

Listening to my favorite holiday tunes feels far more nostalgic when coming from a record player. So set the needle and let it spin, while you let it take you to the North Pole.

And I know you know that Nordstrom has free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup. And with The Nordy Club, you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access to specific brands. But did you also know that Nordstrom has pretty much everything you need to deck out your halls and help you get into the holiday spirit?

Are you team make your spirits bright or team not until after the turkey?

Home. Again…

Home, sweet, home.

O.K. So, I am now officially part of the Boomerang Generation.

Being back in my old bedroom comes with a set of decorating challenges that I did not see coming…

Home Again

For instance, the bed in my apartment was a different size than the room in my bedroom at my parents’ place.

New sheets had to happen.

I hate the dark burnt orange shag carpet.

An area rug is a must.

Downsizing from an apartment to a bedroom, seriously limits my options of where to put stuff.

Think inside the box…

A mirror for selfies, that doubles as storage.

Blogging in bed can be fun, but when you’re in it most of the day, a desk reminds you that it’s 2015 and this is your year!

Decor Pieces

Despite what one might think, my place isn’t very decorated.

I have, however, tried to give it more of a homey touch by adding some decor pieces that I feel could work in just about any space, generally speaking, of course…

1. A collection of some sort. I’m not big on history or geography, but I like to travel + globes are pretty neat.

2. Something alive. Plants that don’t die easily are ideal.Decor Pieces | potted plant

3. An artistic personal touch. Photo magnets via PicStick. Decor Pieces | photo magnets

4. Fancy expensive looking things. Found at Wal-Mart.Decor Pieces | Silver Vessels

5. Trendy touches. How doesn’t have the Domino book on their coffee table?Decor Pieces | Trendy Touches

Pinspired.

I live on a college campus.

No, I am not in college.

I work in higher education as live-in professional. I won’t bore you with what that means (but please feel free to ask questions in the comments!), but I have a tiny apartment and while I can’t complain too much about it (#rentfree), I am not completely in love with it.

I mean, I don’t hate it.

I just don’t love it.

I want to love it.

Enter Pinterest. I am currently pinning images that I believe would make my apartment feel more like home. I want to start with my bedroom, because that’s where my desk is + so I spend most of my time there.

Follow Twenty Something Plus’s board Bedroom Wishlist on Pinterest.

Recently, I have across some boards that have just the feel + look that I am going for. The perfect pinspiration, if you will. If you aren’t following them, you should really check out these out!

And when all else fails, I just search through Apartment Thearpy.

I have expensive taste, but not so big a budget. I am thinking about DIYing a lot of projects for what I want in my space and sharing them. Also, some before + afters will be shared.
These Intagram photos of my place should hold you over until then. If not, you can always follow me on IG…
