I haven't been active on here in awhile and I sometimes overwhelm myself by trying to either blog more or work harder on the store all while balancing my love of house projects and real life. Today I was out in the yard with our puppy, Dexter, and I decided to cut some ferns and put them in the house. I thought about putting them in a sweet white galvanized basket I bought recently for ONE DOLLAR, but I changed my mind after seeing them in this basket I just grabbed to hold the ferns while I cut them (and maybe so I could take a pretty picture of me picking them for the basket). I decided the ferns looked too good in the basket, so I styled them on my new kitchen bench. This is not how I plan to keep the bench, but until I paint it white, I thought this was a really cute way to style it in the interim! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img id="id_97d1_11df_5d96_26f1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM7bcWW_QEc8k6wCWZfox6YRcHu6nAWx63sTQLDkXPFwOQ1Djl8bKcEpcPLKi2IttYrhGLAwZZ-0RwIiDJurkyMfZbtTyU598upuS6lW9DPcUasGU-BZyjjc34h3whdn0ncek0DGT1vCo/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_515d_110a_4ed7_1693" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDsILBq9JNR5PfcZKP4ICasVdqxuCNf8ruOVdXuX6VAgePxIsxNzOQt2UzPQgBiygaqrOcfRqDkhUNlPndoYnw2i038UIQWkkJCkZho-zMI9VdULHr7mskAEhhh72vsj4JL4WCsbs_UU/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_57d2_372b_c1fb_6109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8x2P-5aogtLe3vcwUlFcyzn8D_QY2RZEXsLYxElZvp6iWtXmC1EMYUZgo11OwACT8KZbsGJrnpgwGji-SpqcvCqL2rXMEmqtdyo6LylY26iYGH9qv60fQOrGxfKPpIXV22b6rxWRcmnY/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_35b9_e474_cbfd_2393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnp62iD_6RZSvDQJLXdoIlUY2zms5cBWmYcYSRaWGr8eV9MlAzVrXu1dOyCyMh3xTwjTa-GER3ChbZ8EFGN84FUPKgLmDSa7WliW6r_hbAP7aGqgT7_46J6P4xmpH2EZI9TtYi0b8b4Dk/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img id="id_8b48_cef0_312e_b3a6" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXKYo7ARxnJZEGcsP9F_EdwCn2jgVDkZlcAhyObGP838OsCKwGFDEdFCxTlA7IYQlo9CSeKvHDa1aMz1Wy1ClAoMDKgxAVcn5KbHK0MB6uE59lREPnLJJQxcah2diw4PaNHPBS98Z-oY/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img id="id_424c_67f3_eb02_272c" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMPjFpDkTW2Z63jr5dzrXn1qcd21sgGsQpHKcXoDQ_snj4MreY18UJeZ8iN9Qj4u-oQzgYOq1v2iCtBIjXYobT_XA6LSaQ3Sz3YLlmcRtlM06CemXK_Ume4MBv1o7wFmKITnJggFcAN0Y/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_be49_4940_8d1_1399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaohB0T7L0MWC1w_J9cVjdvKqidu9ulk2_PpxpB8dhEPOy82CC6xjkNwZTnxDjUTdLcF1eGhk97VBVBPrml6-Erw9nHGbN67qBakwR5G60BBn_IP5hhUsCSFh_nJW_nfR1p4C2gIOCCNQ/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_6fd7_69e3_95df_2533" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMheNGWpB-xfV5BDO1s7mTktMBYzHTssx_IPGDWrdObqKczky0QiaZSq73QAfW4yVdQCidwAIqzKOc5CTLzFXmk1DXRFHcjbFxSh6Pi5SOO0ulViWzL_RrSbmYMKITWUJC18ht7FV8nbk/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let me know if you guys like this and what other rooms or pieces you would like to see styled!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">- Courtney and Dexter ❤️</div>Courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17868185784809837236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027844793394827994.post-26919032737009196542016-12-03T11:05:00.001-08:002016-12-03T16:53:46.861-08:00Alfaro Abode: Christmas Edition 2016<font face="Arial">Hello Everyone!</font><div><font face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial">Christmas is weeks away and I am so excited to share with you my decorated home! I am passionate about home decor in general, but something about going through all of these decorations you adore once a year is really special to me. This is the second Christmas in our home, and since we have lived here now for over a year it definitely feels much more like home this holiday season. I have spent the last week holed up in our house every chance I could get and spreading Christmas cheer all over the house! November was a very crazy month for me with work, so this was such a great way to unwind and get my creative juices flowing again! Without further ado, I would like to share with you a tour of our home decorated for Christmas :)</font></div><div><font face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><img id="id_546_6f55_4571_aa29" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsI83z3xuT95pvWgNhSTgaVYH84ip5UGno8BmnwLqnV8uicg4QcWpH8Xm88L00_wrHXDajKVZ3GBZ_3MpESIApxfe_wcqhQxzAouwmYTrkzzVBa6sGMGms8ISfnRZklSJc1BmhcndLGkE/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px;

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thank you for your patience while I took a step back and practiced the Marie Kondo method in my own life and home! Wow what an amazing process this has been cleaning out our home of useless crap!! I plan to do a full review of The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering-Organizing/dp/1607747308/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465221327&sr=8-1&keywords=the+life+changing+magic+of+tidying+up"><em>Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</em></a> this Friday, so stay tuned!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sticking with out "Home" Monday theme, I wanted to FINALLY share with you our completed garden! I say completed, but is a garden ever done?! I know I will continue to add plants and decor through the summer and years, but I am so pleased with how it has turned out this far!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A few weeks ago, my mother-in-law and I took a trip to a garden store and we bought various plants and flowers to plant. We ended up having terrible weather for a few weeks, so our planting day kept being pushed back. This past week we were able to spend the afternoon planting, and I am so pleased with all of our hard work!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I have been anxiously awaiting Spring this year, because it is the first one I will have in our home! Last year, we moved in on June 24th and were planning our wedding, so I did not have a chance to do any gardening or yard decor. This year I am so excited for the finished look of our backyard. In the pictures below, you can see how our backyard currently looks. We have not added any plants or trees, so it is really amazing to see what our yard looks like natrually. I cannot wait to work with what we already have and add in great outdoor decorations, flowers, and plants!</span><br />

In about a month, I hope to be mostly done with our garden and yard, so check back soon to see the progress! Are any of you into gardening? If so, let me know below!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last night I finally tried out Mama Karen Parker's Cajun Shrimp Pasta recipe and we were not disappointed! For those of you who do not know who Mama Karen Parker is, she is not a chef nor food blogger, but is the mother of country singer, Jessie James Decker. When Jessie got married a few years back her mom made a recipe book for her as a gift with all her recipes. She did not want this cookbook to be shared with anyone as it was very special and meaningful to their family. Recently she has decided to post a few of the family's secret recipes to her blog, <a href="http://www.leavinglouisiana.net/home/my-secret-recipe-for-cajun-shrimp-pasta">Leaving Louisiana</a>. I have seen tons of different people recreate her Cajun Shrimp Recipe on Instagram, so after buying some shrimp from <a href="http://locococobean.blogspot.com/2016/04/trader-joe-grocery-haul.html">Trader Joe's</a>, I decided to whip it up for my pasta and shrimp loving husband. It only took around 30 minutes to fully prepare and serve, so that was great! On top of how quick and easy it was it actually tasted DELICIOUS! This is definitely something I will be making again! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This food journal is great for someone who want to create their very own cookbook. I find this particular one really great because it does not have any templates or pre-made formats, each page is blank. This allows you to write the recipes in the format that you most prefer. This is super important for someone like me who writes lists and notes very specifically! ;)</span></td></tr>

This is not something I foresee myself making regularly, so I am not worried about substituting the pasta noodles out for a veggie alternative (i.e. spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles). Let me know if you have tried this recipe out, and if so tag me in a picture on Instagram</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <strong>@locococobean </strong>;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Also, do any of you have a special way of writing down and organizing your recipes? I know my mom has tons of different recipe cards, index cards, and notebook paper scattered in one of ou kitchen drawers. I have a few in my email, so each time I make one of them or another special recipe I will be writing it down in my scrapbook cookbook and maybe even share it with you all!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I hope you are all doing wonderful! I have been so inspired lately in regards to my health, so I thought I would show you some of the healthy food I purchased yesterday from Trader Joe's! I normally do not shop their because it is not as convenient as other stores closer to me, but I really wanted to try Ezekiel bread and cauliflower rice, and I knew they had both, so I set up a shopping trip!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Today was a super gloomy day filled with tons and tons of rain. It is safe to say I had no motivation to leave the house.... this meant not getting to go for a long walk or make it to the gym. I did not want to let the weather get in the way of a workout, so if I didn't want to go outside, I would workout inside. Many of you may know that three years ago I taught group exercises classes as a part of my job. One of my favorite classes I taught was a <strong>"Butts and Guts" </strong>class every Friday. I checked my old emails and found a class plan and got ready for my workout! I am so happy I found this as I got an incredible workout from this old plan and had a really great time doing it. I think was in major part that it takes only 25-30 minutes to complete!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you are looking for a fun, modifiable, and quick leg and core workout, then I strongly encourage you to give this workout a shot!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow I am on a mission to get the paint in my backroom matched and finally paint our downstairs bathroom. This has been one room in our house that I just could not figure out what I wanted to do, but it has finally come to me. Alice in Wonderland! If you don't know me, I am a huge fan! I love all things tea related (except tea, go <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">figure!), playing cards, watches, and basically everything else. When I thought of this idea I was so excited to incorporate this I to my home, but didn't want to take away from the theme my home already has. I also did not want it to be in your face Alice in Wonderland, with actual characters, quotes, or photographs. I decided to create a gallery wall with various things from the movie, but keep the vintage/eclectic feel the rest of my home has. Below I have photographs of some items I have bought for the room, but stay tuned for a full post revealing the finished room which includes many other fun decor I currently own! When this goes up I will go into full detail of everything!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I tried Protein Bar for the first time and the Quinoa Pesto Bowl jumped off their menu as what I should order. I was not dissapointed! I decided to try to replicate this recipe at home this evening since I had all the ingredients on hand. Check out the quick recipe below for a healthy dinner!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This only took me 20 minutes to whip up and tasted delcious! Eating healthy and cooking at home does not have to be a chore. We are all leading busy lives, but I encourage you and your families to start making your meals at home together. Even if its just a few times a week, it is better than nothing!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome back to our home once again as I take you through our Guest bathroom. I sometimes forget this is even in our house since I tend to just use our Master bath, but recently we have had a leak in our Master, so we have been using the Guest bathroom. This has been the first time I have used the shower, and I must say it feels like you are transported in time with the adorable archway. The character that is packed into this tiny space makes me so thankful for half of our house being original to 1942! That being said let's get on to the tour!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As you can see in the pictures below this bathroom has pink tile on a majority of the walls. Normally I would absolutely hate this, but the tile is so simple and it just adds to the charm! The floor is tiled with pink as well, so I went for a bit of a pink Parisian theme. The shower curtain is from Kohls, and I think the pattern and color compliment the room perfectly. I was so happy I found shower curtain hooks with the same hexagon shape as the curtain. My mom gifted me the pink clock and the rest of the items were found thrifting per usual ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I really do love this bathroom and cannot wait to complete it by:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Painting the vanity white</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">New knobs on the cabinets and drawers</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Not too much needs to be done, but once it is I will show you all the finished look!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">You may not know this about me, but I am very into breakfast and all the food that comes along with it. I am "one of those people" who gets incredibly sick if I do not eat first thing in the morning. This means that no matter how early I have to leave the house I need to be able to eat something substantial so I can survive the morning. I actually spend more time around preparing and eating breakfast than getting ready for work or the day. Since I dedicate most of my time to this and am not a morning person, I like to make healthy foods quickly to maximize my time. Below you will see some of my go to breakfasts that I make throughout the week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This takes about 5 minutes to prepare. I put the egg on the stove, then the toast in the toaster, and while both are cooking I cut the avocado. I add pepper and salt for taste and switch up what style of eggs I make. This is sooo tasty and filling!</span> </td></tr>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share with you my only fully completed room in our house! Behold our entryway! This was a fun space to create and I am very pleased with how it looks and its functionality. The dresser is my Nana's that used to be storage in my parent's garage, but I asked for it in my home and they had no problem giving it up. To think this was just wasting away in their garage with extension cords and screw drivers makes me sad, but I am glad it is the first thing people see when they enter our home. Not only is it pretty, but it holds all of our winter accessories, some of our shoes, and other odds and ends. The mirror above the dresser is from Hobby Lobby and I love how it is arched to match the archways in our home! It makes the spaces feel bigger and adds light, too. The tea set is a silver set I found antiquing and the lamp was found at a consignment shop. I have a ceramic Alice in Wonderland tray that we keep our keys on. On the wall there is a small arch cutout which holds our doorbell, two thrifted plates, and a galvanized mailbox. The mailbox was from Target and is a great way to separate our bills from junk mail. My favorite piece in here has to be the <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/olivia-star-pendant/?pkey=e%7Cstar%2Blight%7C66%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C48%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH">star pendant light</a>. Our house had/still has hideous light fixtures, so I was very happy when this was hung as it adds great character to the space. This entryway has a coat closet behind the front door, which boasts the adorable brass knob (again with the Alice in Wonderland.....think I have a problem) and holds tons of extra storage.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am in the process of trying out a brand called <a href="https://smilecareclub.com/#/">Smile Care Club</a>, which provide clear braces through the mail. I had braces back in the day, and for the most part love the results, BUT my orthodontist purposely over corrected two of my teeth stating they would align themselves.....12 years later no such luck! My mom found this company while browsing Pinterest, so I thought I would check them out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Smile Care Club offers clear braces through the mail at a much lower price than traditional forms of braces with an orthodontist. I was quote close to $4,000.00 for Invisalign at my dentist while Smile Care Club offers three standard payments depending on the severity of your case: $900.00, $1,400.00, or $1,900.00. To figure out which plan you fall into you first purchase an Evaluation Kit for $95.00. This is completely refundable if you chose to not move forward with the program. I was able to receive my kit for half off due to a promotional code around Valentine's Day. They tend to have tons of different codes at all times, so I would look around for one prior to spending the full $95.00. The kit is delivered right to your doorstep and has a prepaid shipping label already on the package to send back through FedEx.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The kit includes:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your treatment begins with an evaluation of your smile (either an on site scan or easy, at-home dental impressions and photo assessment).</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your purchase includes Starter Trays to confirm fit and help you get accustomed to wearing invisible aligners, a 3D treatment plan to see how your smile will change, and free teeth whitening by GLO Science.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">If you do not want to move forward with the program, you simply contact the company and they will refund you for the Evaluation Kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Last week I received my Evaluation Kit and took some photographs of my experience. I found it was not too difficult to take the molds, and shipping the box back was a piece of cake! I did just hear back though that my molds were not accepted, so I will need to redo them. This is going to cost me $49.00 to receive a new kits, but this is refundable if I choose to not move forward with treatment. If I do move forward with treatment the $49.00 will go towards my totals cost. I was pretty bummed that I have to retake the molds, but I figure this is SOOOO much cheaper than going through a traditional orthodontist, it is worth one more try. I want to keep you all in the loop throughout this process and give you my honest feedback about this company! As mentioned, I am a bit discourage because of having to redo the molds, but I am optimistic at the thought of saving thousands of dollars!! Smile Care Club accepts insurance, so once I do receive my plan I can receive a 50% discount thanks to my wonderful Dental insurance ;)! Another reason why I would like to give them just one more try!</span><br />

Loose Lipped Labels, LLC. is a brand and company that my very good friend and coworker, Liz, created back in early November. In just four short months she has blown me away with the success she is achieving! So you are probably wondering.... "what is Loose Lipped Labels?!?!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LooseLippedLabels">Loose Lipped Labels</a> is a shop that "offers humorous wine and spirit labels perfect for life's special and not so special moments!" with the opportunity to personalize anything to your needs. When I first met Liz, she was instantly one of the craftiest and funniest people I had ever run across. She was constantly printing up labels for anything she could...literally she would make labels for water bottles at our work meetings, different labels and printout for our clients, everything! She has such an eye for detail and her humor pours through in everything she does. If you remember my post from last <a href="http://locococobean.blogspot.com/2015/02/galentine-day.html">Galentine's Day</a> she created adorable mini wine bottle labels of Leslie Knope for all of the ladies at work. She has been making labels for every event possible since I have known her, so when she told me she was moving forward with creating a brand and Etsy shop, I was SOO excited for her. As I mentioned before she just started her shop four months ago and is seeing amazing results. She has over 11,000 Instagram followers that is growing by the thousands weekly. The way she has found her niche on social media has been inspiring and I love seeing her brand and products all over my feed! All in all, Liz is a rock star and is definitely going places with her brand, and I am so happy I was able to be here from the beginning and see everything that comes her way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Below you can check out some of Liz's personal favorite labels she has created, some of mine, along with some St. Patty's Day and Easter labels! Did I mention she always is up to date with labels for holidays and other large events??! She does it all, I highly recommend checking out her Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LooseLippedLabels">Loose Lipped Labels</a> and staying tuned for the launch of her website. She also was kind enough to give my readers a discount code, so when you go to purchase any of her labels, make sure to use the code - <strong>WINELOVER2016</strong> to receive 20% off of your order!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am proud to let you all know that I successfully completed Dry February. In my <a href="http://locococobean.blogspot.com/2016/02/dry-february.html">Wednesday Health</a> post from two weeks ago I filled you all in on my personal journey to not drink for the entire month of February. Cutting alcohol for a month has been something I have been wanting to do for quite some time, and I am glad that I finally was able to do this. during the month I faced many challenges and wanted to quit so bad just to "have fun" with everyone else. Most of the times when I was in situations involving alcohol, I was bummed that I could not be enjoying myself as much as everyone else was, but I found that I had just as good of a time without being drunk. I had some really great experiences with friends and family AND it was so nice to remember every little detail and wake up without a hangover. I do not say this meaning every time I drink I black out and have hangovers, but sometimes even a glass of wine can give me a wicked headache the following morning. Sucks getting old!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">All in all, this was a unique health journey for me and as mentioned before I feel very fulfilled knowing that I was able to say goodbye to alcohol for a month! It may have been the shortest month of the year, but I did it! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I want to encourage you all who are facing challenges with any health related journeys in your life that you can do it! You have the power to change! Don't get hung up on the social stigmas or your own fear of failing. Everyone hits bumps in the road, but not everyone is strong enough to overcome those obstacles and persevere! I am going to end it here before I turn into some rambling motivational speaker, but keep working towards your goals! Let me know below how you are doing on your journey!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Also, stay tuned for Friday's post featuring my amazingly talented friend's Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LooseLippedLabels">Loose Lipped Labels</a>! She made the adorable custom label for me in the photograph above and continues to blow me away with her creativity and how she is building her brand! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and is having a great start to the week. Today I wanted to share with you my kitchen cabinet renovation. The day after we closed on our house, my mom and aunt helped me remove all of my kitchen cabinets and drawers and we prepped and primed that same day! I felt so productive and was so excited to have my kitchen one step closer to my dream kitchen. After a few days of painting the cabinet trim, I completely lost steam... I was caught up with other house affairs and our wedding planning, so what should have been a few week project turned into many many months, BUT I have finally finished the cabinets, so I thought I would share with you the before, during, and after!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is a quick tutorial on how I renovated my kitchen cabinets:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Label all of the cabinet doors and drawers with numbers and include the same number on the inside of the cabinet and on a Ziploc bag with the hardware</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove all cabinet doors and drawers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove ugly existing cabinets and drawer pulls (unless you are going to use them after being painted. Mine were hideous and outdated, so they went straight into the trash!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wash cabinets with TSP Hard Surface Cleaner (I recommend wearing gloves as this leaves a weird feeling on your hands)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sand cabinet doors, drawers, and trim</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a tack cloth after sanding to remove all the sawdust and other debris</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are changing the position of the hardware like I did, you will need to wood putty the existing holes, let dry, then sand down, and again wipe clean with a tack cloth</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apply one coat of primer to all surfaces and let dry for at least 24 hours</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apply one coat of paint to all surfaces and let dry for at least 24 hours. Repeat until you are satisfied with the color and finish of the paint</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Find all of the numbered Ziploc bags and put all cabinet doors and drawers back</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Attach existing or new hardware</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy your beautiful "new" cabinets! :)</span></li>

I would definitely recommend doing this if you are removing any doors/drawers as it makes it so much easier to put everything back up once the project is completed!</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope this post helps you with any future cabinetry projects. I would definitely recommend labeling the doors/drawers like we did. This made putting everything back on SO much easier and less stressful. I will not lie and tell you this was a super fun project because it is very tedious, but once you get it done it so worth it! Now we just need to get our butcher block counter tops, new back splash, and the remainder of our stainless appliances! Stay tuned for the rest of the remodel soon! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The past few years I have taken a major deep dive into the beauty world, but I finally feel confident with my daily regime of products I wear on my face. It makes me feel like a "real adult" that I have found makeup that suites my skin type, coloring, and personality! I thought I would share with you my Holy Grail products, which you can find scattered about my bathroom counter on a daily basis much to Jon's disliking ;)</span><br>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today I was planning on a completely different post for our Health topic, but the item still hasn't arrived....so I decided to share with you some of my healthy staple foods. As I mentioned last week I am really trying to eat a healthier diet based on mostly meats, fruits, and vegetables. I am doing this for both weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Once I reach my goal weight I want to continue healthy habits that are easily maintainable. I have found that the best way for me to stick to a specific way of eating is to not buy any junk food or temptations! I know this can be really difficult for people, but it really is the best way to avoid shoveling garbage in your mouth once you walk through your front door! I try to keep certain things in my house at all times to ensure I always have something healthy to eat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is my first Wednesday post related to Health and I will be talking about Dry February. Some of you may have no idea what I am talking about, so I will explain. Dry January is a "thing" many people participate in after the holidays as a way to stop drinking for a month and get back on track with healthy habits. I wanted to take this challenge in January, but life got the best of me and I gave in to all the social events and parties.... January was not a good month for me to try anything new, so I decided to do Dry February instead! I must tell you not committing to anything in January has made it much easier to give it my all this month (and hopefully the rest of the year!). As o</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">f February 1st, I have completely cut out alcohol in all forms AND been eating little to no carbs, focusing my meals around meats, fruits, and vegetables. After the first week I did my first weigh in and was disappointed to see I had only lost 2 pounds!!!! I, like most everyone else, felt my week of dedication to healthy food and no liquor would miraculously make me shed at least 5 pounds... But it did not. This is not a bad thing at all, in fact it means I am doing things correctly by not losing a ton of weight rapidly. I just need to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race! Patience is a much needed thought process when trying to improve any habit, so these past two weeks I have continued my healthy eating habits and no drinking and as of yesterday FINALLY started exercising again. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I am committed to being my best version of me no matter how long it may take. I am excited to document this journey and hope to inspire you all along the way! Moving forward I will discuss recipes, workouts, updates, etc. each Wednesday to motivate this community to reach their personal goals! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please let me know in the comments what you are currently doing or hoping to start doing to be the best version of you? Also, let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to post about in the future. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">It has been a minute since I have written on here, but I promise it was because I was planning a new way organize and create my content. Moving forward I will be posting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday will be anything related to Home, Wednesday will be Health, and Friday will be Hodgepodge. I hope you all enjoy this new format and please let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to post on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Now onto the good stuff. My now husband and I bought our very <a href="http://locococobean.blogspot.com/2015/08/we-homeowners.html">first home</a> back on June, 24, 2015. Since we got married just two months after moving in, we had to put some house updating on the back burner. Now that all the chaos is over, I have been enjoying getting my house put together and finally make it the home of my (our) dreams! The first room I wanted to share with you is our front room. This room is really coming together and I look forward to adding the finishing touches on it soon, but until then here is how far it has come!</span><br />
