Mel's Life: Bridal Shower Madness

One of my dearest boos is getting married in two weeks and this past weekend we threw her a bridal shower. I have been planning this shower since December/January and i'm glad that I can finally take off my psychotic event planner hat. If you know me then you know i'm a perfectionist. From hand painting the centerpieces and favors to creating drink umbrellas my DIY skills were put to the test. By DIY skills I mean my sanity...my sanity was put to the test lol. Add that on top of the fact that I had a raging fever and the flu. Although I did not get to do everything that I wanted to do for Lauren's shower I think it came out beautifully. I really wanted her to have something special since she is such a special person to me and deserves it.  






A huge thank you to Kim, Arsiema, Ty, LP, and Janique for helping out!

Minimalism

I will be moving within the next two months (somebody say hallelujah) and have started the process of decluttering. By decluttering I mean getting rid of my stashes of Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, and W (you will be missed). After lugging about 100 pounds of magazines to the recycling I felt lighter literally and spiritually. Its amazing how spaces influence your physical being. I dumped a couple of old rags as well as some stress. I would like to carry this euphoric feeling of clutter free living to the new apartment by embracing a minimalist lifestyle (except for shoes...because duh shoes lol). Below you'll find some gorgeous minimalist spaces I found via Pinterest as well as 5 tips to start living with less stuff.







5 Tips to Start Living With Less 

1. If you can't remember the last time you used it..donate it
2. Keep counters clear (bath room, kitchen, dresser, etc.). Only keep out essential every day items
3. If you have two of something make it one. Try to keep duplicates to a minimum.
4. Think about your purchases and whether its something you actually need. (If its a necessity its a yes for me)
5. Keep a neutral color pallet (throw some pops of color in there to put some stank on it however)

Decor: Light & Bright

I have been gravitating towards minimalist sun filled rooms, by gravitating I mean craving. Lately, I feel like there is so much clutter (figuratively and literally) in my life and I am ready to get rid of it. There is nothing like a clean room that radiates with the glow of sunshine. I honestly am smiling just thinking about it. Could you imagine what living in a space like that would do to your spirit?! (Imagine all the cute puppies in the world in one room...it would feel like that)  I will be moving soon, and I hope to create a space that is both calming and inspirational. Below are some of the images that I am using for inspiration for my (future) new place.

Paneled Walls

Lately, I have been seriously crushing on paneled walls (yes, I am that weird). There is something old worldish about paneling that I just love. If you're looking to add instant visual interest and character to a room paneling would definitely be the route to take in my opinion.

Fit Fridays: Workout Plan

It's the day after Thanksgiving (and ive already had left overs for breakfast) and surprisingly I didn't eat myself into a food coma. Over the past couple of months I have gone from a size 4/6 to a 10/12. I was working out like a mad woman and lost 6 pounds which I was elated. However, when I cam back from Canada I lost my motivation and gained those pounds right on back. So once again I am on my gym grind and I hope this time it sticks. I found this workout plan on Pinterest and thought I would share it with you guys.
