Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio Reveal

Guest Bedroom/ In-Home Studio Reveal

Home Decor, Lifestyle

Our guest bedroom has been completed for a while, but I didn’t have time to take pictures and put them together until today. I used new and old furniture that we already had to fill up space. I am sharing the details with you in this post.

Read on to see how everything turns out!

“Home decorating is a passion of mine, and I am so passionate about making my home as sweet as it can be because you know that the “Home Sweet Home” phase makes me want to feel like I am living the sweetest life in my sweet little home every single day.”

Our house was built in 1985, and nearly everything here was original. We purchased this home after searching for over a year and finally found the one we felt like home. My husband and I saw a lot of potentials and loved the house when we first walked in. Before we moved in, we painted the inside white, including the floor. Now three years later, we got the hang of what we were doing and decided to give our home more love by dressing her up to a personality we feel that she is—sophisticated but yet down to earth. Sound like me a little?

We are now working room by room and will be sharing with you what our projects turn out in the later posts here on allaboutgoodvibes.com.

In this blog post today, I am sharing with you every corner in our guest bedroom/ in-home studio, and if you haven’t seen my inspiration behind my guest bedroom yet, make sure you head over to this post to find out.

Before I started redecorating this room, I needed a visual plan, so I created one. As you already know, I am a very visual person, so I first have to work on my mood board, where I used Pinterest to put together my vision before I decide on what I want. For this room, I was going for nature, calm, and relaxation feels. I picked out a lot of neutral and earth tone elements and accents to represent those emotions.

 

I can’t put my finger on the theme of this room, French Boho, maybe?but I would say it speaks out my personality and the house personality 100%.

If you are following me on Instagram (@CuratedByMolly), you might have seen so many photos of the same mirror selfie I took from a corner of this room. I use this room to workout in, take pictures for my blog, e-course, and business. I also use this room to relax and unplug when I need one. It’s a guest bedroom, but as of now, it’s my in-home studio.

The Vanity Corner

Right when you walked in on the left-hand side, I set up a vanity corner using a heritage chest made in Boston more than 70 years ago. We got the piece from my father-in-law. What we did with it was painting it all white as we want everything to be more of a lighter and brighter feel here in this room.

My vanity looks somewhat organized here as I only put what I normally use on it. On top of the chest, I put the gold Gleaming Primrose mirror I got a few years back to give that elegant, sophisticate, and vintage vibes to the room.

As you can see in the images, I have a lot of seashells and porcelain elements. I am currently in love with shells and pearls so I ordered a few new decoration pieces like this Seashell Accent Lamp to fill up space. I also got two new pleated porcelain vases that go well with the crown molding of the room and the fluted side table I have.

The Closet

We put together this DIY closet as we want it to be very simple and easy to access. You can check out my DIY Closet under $100 to see the before photo and how we did it. I try my best to keep everything organized here and again only put what I need to wear in the next two weeks. The rest of my clothes and shoes are located in our closet in the master bedroom.

The Reading Corner

This corner is opposite of the door and has the window right next to it which makes a perfect corner for reading. We got the chair and the side table from my parents-in-law. They didn’t use them so we decided to upcycle and they perfectly match with our french-boho theme. We didn’t change anything, only cleaned them and wiped them down. 

Next to the chair I have a gold shell wall hook, that I can hang a dress or bags like shown in the above photos.   

Adding a modern and feminine touch with a line art throw pillow to complete this corner.

The Bed

For our bed, we took the bed frame out and only have the mattress on the floor. I got the round velvet pillow from Urban Outfitters. My white linen blend sheet set is from Target. The rest of the bedding is from H&M; brown washed-linen covers, and light beige satin bedspread.

For the side table I picked the fluted drum table as its height isn’t as high and fits perfectly in this corner. I have the Ceramic Table Lamp that’s featuring a sculpted base in a raw finish with dual side handle ringson in this corner as well. 

 

To finish this guestroom with my personal touch, I hung up my painting above the bed. I named it “On The Table” as I actually painted it on my dining room table not because it’s a drawing of what’s on the table. 🙂

Healthier Mom Diaries: Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Healthier Mom Diaries: Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Lifestyle, Self-Care

Sharing with you a Mother’s Day Gift Guide packed with items that will surely make your mom/ yourself who is a mom happy and healthy.

Read on to get some ideas on what to get for this special day!

“Every day is Mother’s Day.”

Dear, all my mom friends,

Don’t give up. You are doing great.

Becoming a mom has changed me in so many ways. Including the change of my body, sleeping schedule, health, and perspective of all the things that matter to me most. I remembered making cards and gifts for my mother. Buying her clothes, jewelry, and flowers. Importantly I never forget to tell her how much I love her.
As a kid, that was the thing I could think and do to express and gifted items that were, for me, symbols of my love for my mother. But what dis she really want? She told me every year that all she wanted from me was for me to be a good kid, be happy, be successful in life and everything I do, and to love and respect myself always.
Now that I am a mother, do I want the same gifts from my kids? Of course, yes. The best gift my kids could give me is becoming a good person, be happy and successful. Always loving and respecting themselves. I think these are the things moms wanted from their kids, plus more.

But, what is a Mother’s Day gift that mom really wants for herself? What’s the best gift out there that can make and keep mom happy?

I asked this question to myself, and it turned out, I wanted to be healthy, so I can keep being a healthy and happy mom to my babies. And being healthy is the only gift I’m giving to myself this Mother’s Day (aka every day).

If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.     

 

– Elbert Hubbard

So now, my lovely reader friend, here I have listed and linked all the tangible gifts that I feel your mother would need and find most valuable when receiving it. Also, sharing with you three ladies who I got so inspired by their lifestyle as a mother and entrepreneurs every time their photos pop up on my Instagram feed.

Now living away from my mother, instead of making a card, I text and call her. I sent her protein powder, vitamins, and supplements. And remind her to eat healthily and exercise often. I feel like these are the best gifts I can give to her.

Sharing with you today what I got from the Sephora Spring Savings Event. Only the good stuff made it to my checkout.

Read on to find out what is worth trying!

“I started to become a more of a conscious buyer than ever because of the situation we are in, and I feel like it is a good habit to have so I am grateful for that.”

There is so much good stuff I wanted to purchase during the Sephora Spring Savings Event this year, but I had to be a little bit more conscious about my spending.

I adopted a clean beauty ritual for a while and almost 100% of my beauty products I am using these days are vegan, natural, and clean.

With that being said, there is no surprise here that what I got was from their “Clean at Sephora” collection.

I purchased what I haven’t tried yet so that I can give you my honest review in the upcoming posts on my new Sustainable Beauty & Style blog, GoodLuxeStudio.com.

Before we get right into what I got here are the deals.

Some Quick Advice Before Start Shopping

Below I typed up some of my thoughts before you start purchasing new items!

I want to make sure you are aware that everything you get is worth your money spent! Read on!

Ps. Feel free to use these set of images and tag my Instagram @CuratedByMolly #CuratedByMolly #AllAboutGoodVibes

Don’t buy it because you feel like you have to buy it. Buy it if it is necessary and you will surely use it all up.

Make sure that you won’t regret spending money.

Don’t buy it because of a trend, a hype, or try to get a cheaper price of something that you don’t ever need or would use.

Choose only the good stuff.  

Don’t go overboard when shopping and get only what you need.

If you think you “maybe I need this”, don’t get it. Only get what you are not hesitating to get.

Don’t sacrifice your wallet for your pleasure that won’t last long.

If you haven’t used up your product just yet, maybe you can hold off for a bit. 

If possible, buy products from brands that help make your health, mind, and body better and brands that help other causes and our planet.

What’s in your Sephora shopping cart?

Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts with adidas

Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts with adidas

Fashion, Lifestyle, Parenting

In today’s’ post, I am sharing a few tips to make your day more joyful with a set of Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts, you can do together while staying at home.

 

Read on to find out.

 

 

 

This post has been sponsored by adidas. All opinions are my own.

It’s been an interesting time we all are facing, and it definitely brings us all closer together than apart, I have to say. One thing I have heard so many parents complaining about is that they are now spending so much time with their kids, and they don’t know what activities they should be doing because they can’t get out of the house and take their kids places. I know that it is going to be quite challenging for some parents who are always at work. You might feel a little lost at first, but trust me in this, it will get better, and you will love spending even more time with your kids after everything is all back to normal, (or at least the new normal).   

Use this special time to learn and spend more time with your children because no one will take better care of your kids than you do. If you have no patience with them, who else will? And you know your children better than anyone else. Am I right?

 

To help you stay active and productive at home with your kids, in today’s’ post, I am sharing a few tips to make your day more joyful with a set of Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts, you can do together. 

Fun Workout Tips with Kids

Before we get into the workout, I have a few tips to keep your workout fun with the below tips.

 1. Don’t take it too seriously. 

 Whenever you are participating in any activities with your kiddos, including working out, don’t take it so seriously. Remember that your kids want to have fun, and you want to relax, being too serious would ruin both of your moods and will create stress instead of joy.

2. Have fun with it. 

Make your workout fun by having fun with it. When I work out with my kids, my only objective is to have fun with them. I don’t set goals for how many sets and poses I wanted to do. As long as I get my kids to participate, I am happy. 

3. Learn with your kids.

I always learn new things in every workout session I have with my kids. It’s either my kids being creative with new poses or we are googling new lessons together. As you don’t need to know everything, you don’t need to be afraid of not being a perfect parent by not knowing everything. Well, it is impossible to know everything, so learn something new each day with them, it’s fun! 

Now, let’s get into some easy at-home workouts you can start doing with your kids every day.

We started with a butterfly pose to stretch, then follow by Seated Mountain Pose, Lotus Pose, Warrior II Pose, Downward facing dog stretch, Cat-Cow Pose, Sitting hamstring stretch, then Partner Forward Fold at the end. Then my little one joins in, so I used her as a weight to do a few sets of Squats and Leg Lifts.

See the photos for how much fun we had!

Ten Surgery Recovery Tips for Dogs with Hartz®

Ten Surgery Recovery Tips for Dogs with Hartz®

Lifestyle

Today, I would like to share with you Ten Surgery Recovery Tips on how to take care of your dogs after surgery and to keep you and your dogs calm during the recovery process. 

Read on to find out all the tips!

 

 

Thank you Hartz® for sponsoring this post. Hartz Dog Diapers and Male Wraps provide superior comfort and fit for leak-proof protection!

I have three dogs (two Chihuahuas and a Beagle), and they have been with me since they were puppies. It has been over seven years together, and we have gone through several surgeries due to their health conditions and sometimes unexpected incidents.

 

During the first few surgeries and recovery times I had to go through with my boys, I remember myself being so worried and unsure about what I needed to do to make sure my dogs would be fine. 

Ticket, the cute brown Chihuahua you are seeing, had a skin growth on his right paw where we had to undergo surgery to remove it. He was equipped with a dog cone around his neck and had to be separated from our two other dogs during his recovery. 

It was a bit of a challenge trying to get our boys to go potty separately or being separate at all. We wanted to make sure Ticket would stay healthy during his recovery, and none of our dogs would try to lick the treated area. 

Since Ticket was in a separate area with no access to the doggy door, we set up a doggy pad for him in the corner of the room so that he could go potty without being near the other boys. 

 

We used doggy pads in the past for potty training our boys, and when we lived in an apartment with no backyard. Although they were absorbent, our boys did not always go in the right spot every time, leaving a big mess for us to clean when we got back home.

 

From the accidents he would have around the room he had to stay in, Hartz® Male Wraps would have made the recovery process much less stressful. 

What I really like about Hartz® Male Wraps, is that they are not only soft and comfortable for our dogs to wear, but they come in two fun and stylish prints. They are highly absorbent and made with patented FlashDry® Gel technology, which instantly turns urine into gel for up to 6 hours of leak-proof protection. They provide a better solution for dogs who suffer from incontinence, urinating from excitement, excessive marking, and surgery recovery purposes. 

Since I have quite a few experiences with dog surgeries and recoveries in the past, I would like to share with you Ten Surgery Recovery Tips on how to take care of your dogs after surgery and to keep your dogs and you calm during the recovery process.

Ten Surgery Recovery Tip for Dogs

ONE: 

Separate him/her from other dogs 

Keep your dog in a safe and secure location away from your other pets.

This could be a room in a different part of your home or a blocked off area of a living space.

TWO:

Make sure he/she has food and water

 Be sure your dog has access to separate food and water bowls when recovering from surgery.

THREE:

Let him/her wear a wrap or diaper

Use either a wrap or diaper for your dog. The wraps can be used for male dogs and the diapers can be used for female or male dogs. This way will keep their incision or wound as clean as possible while making their recovery less painful.  

Hartz® Dog Diapers | Hartz® Male Wraps

FOUR:

Let him/her stay in a clean and quiet part of the home

 Having an area that’s clean and away from the noise of other pets and people will make it much more relaxing for your dog to recover. 

FIVE:

Give him/her pills as recommended

Follow your veterinarian’s instructions and recommendations when it comes to what pills to give, how much per dosage and when to give them.

SIX:

Have lavender essential oil around to help him/her relax

Relaxing and calm energy is very helpful when trying to recover from surgery. Put a few drops of essential oils around your dog’s bed to promote a restful and peaceful environment.

SEVEN:

Check on him/her often

Be sure to check in on your dog often to make sure he is healing properly and for you to spot if something is wrong.

EIGHT:

Give him/her comfort by petting his/her head and saying he/she will be okay 

 Consoling your pet, with affection and love, will make him feel safe and aid in his fast recovery.

NINE:

Follow your veterinary care instructions and go for your next checkup

Make sure to go for the next checkup so your veterinarian can see that everything is going well, and nothing more needs to be done. 

TEN:

Call your vet right away if there’s an emergency or you have some concerns about your dog

Always have your vet’s number on hand in case of an emergency you have during your dog’s recovery process.   

Share with me:
