On The Horizon For November!

0 comments / Lifestyle
Happy November, friends! And just like that, we're welcoming a new month, and the countdown to US Thanksgiving and Christmas is on. The past few weeks have honestly been a whirlwind! I've been working on creating social media content for a few clients, and our social calendar has been paced as well. But - I'm looking forward to cooler weather, slower weeks and cozy nights in. I'm also booking my photographer for 1-2 photoshoots this month, and wanting to make a concerted effort to resurrect my lifestyle, home & beauty content here on the blog. Pray for me, haha!
With that said, here's what's on the horizon for November:

ONE. I'm kind of toying with the idea of switching to Wordpress... but it would probably have to be under a new blog name. The last time I tried to transfer my domain it turned into an absolute nightmare, and I basically broke my blog and had to switch back to blogger in a panic. I'm looking at these templates and company & I'm totally in love!!

TWO. Really want to read (which involves fixing my new Kindle) The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger. I've heard it's terrific and I'd love to curl up with a great book. I'll be sure to let you know what I think + let me know if you have any book recommendations too!

THREE. Give me all the tartan. Haha! I honestly can't say no!! J.Crew Factory has the best selection and I'm so excited to snag this dress, this headband and these heels. Obviously, I won't be wearing them all at the same time though. That would be a lot!

FOUR. Plan out a few more projects for our home, and book time to complete them. I'd love to paint our gallery wall an almost black colour, wallpaper our upstairs bathroom and set up my desk / office. Currently, it's not very inviting and I'd like to have a space to blog / work again. I'll be sure to share photos as I go!

FIVE. Here's a great list of The Best Movies & TV Shows Coming (and Leaving) Netflix in November! I don't know about you... but when the weather cools, I kind of want to stay in, watch Netflix, read a good book, or just nap after dinner. Anyone else?! ;)

Our New Home Walk Through

1 comment / Home
Hellooo, oh gosh I've missed you guys! We're officially in our NEW HOME, and I'm still having a pinch me moment! So in love with our 10 foot ceilings, open floor plan, griege kitchen, black hardware, and gorgeous herringbone floors. We're slowly making this space our own + making a few more furniture decisions & trying to settle in. I'm equally as excited about the area, and so happy we decided to jump. We've moved to a historic town, and we live right in the heart of downtown. Surrounded by the cutest shops, cafe's & restaurants, and it's all less than a minute walk away.


For the kitchen, we're ordering a custom counter height table / island, and in the centre of the room we're adding a white tulip table, plus a custom built shelving unit in the inset wall beside the fridge. Then, for the living room... we'll be using most of our current furniture, but adding shelves around our white Ikea Hemnes TV unit. We're also working with an interior designer to help pull it all together, and make our home, feel like a home. Can not wait!


The upstairs has two bedrooms, and a jack & jill bathroom. For the main bedroom, I'd like to go for a more lux feel and wallpaper our ensuite bathroom a lovely warm grey textured textile, and we've purchased a gorgeous white velvet tufted bed frame. Yay! Then our second bedroom (which overlooks historic downtown) will be used as an office. I'm thinking of going for a slight cape cod feel with a gallery wall, touches of jute, and pops of navy. And while our main floor has 10 foot ceilings, our upstairs has 9 foot ceilings which still feels really lovely & open.


Then finally, we've zipped back down to the first floor / entrance way. We have a bathroom & shower on that floor too, along with our laundry room and garage. We hope to finish the garage and add a mini gym as well as a storage system. Basically, there are a lot of projects we want to undertake over the next year, and I'm sure it will take time. Honestly, no rush! And after that, I don't want to move for a really, really, long time. Haha! ;)

What I'm Buying In 2022

0 comments / Style

 



From left to right: Coat, Cardigan, Turtleneck, Headband, Card Holder, Jeans, Fur Trim Coat, Leggings, Flats

For my 2022 style wish list... I'm keeping things simple, classic and comfortable. Honestly, this year is looking very quiet for us and I need my wardrobe to match. We'll be in our new home, spending our weekends going for walks & grabbing coffee, or getting settled / decorating our new space. So, leggings, a black turtleneck, a few great coats, and flats it is. Or, if I'm feeling fancy - a great pair of cropped high waisted jeans. LOL! 

A few items, I'm especially excited about, and want to highlight are... the Madewell leggings, they're currently on sale (if you're an xxs you're in luck) - they're honestly the best leggings you will EVER own! J.Crew's best selling coat is also deeply discounted and such a beautiful wardrobe staple. This cable knit cardigan is perfect with high rise denim for a weekend coffee, or Skype date. Also, I've had my eye on a pair of Margaux flats forever, and I'm excited to add a pair to my wardrobe. They're insanely comfortable, and oh so beautiful. What do you have your eye on for 2022, friends?! I'd love to know!

My 2022 Intentions

1 comment / Personal

Each year, I tend to set lofty goals for my personal, and professional life. However, this year... I'm ready to slow down & hone in on what's most important to me, and truly discover what fills my cup. It's easy to look to others and feel like we "should" do this, or that, but I've come to realize that happiness & personal goals are an individual thing. And while we can look to others for inspiration, our path will ultimately be unique, and very much our own. With that said, here's what I'm working on for 2022!

CREATE A MORNING ROUTINE I LOVE - Currently, I don't love my morning routine. I'd like to make time for meditation, yoga, a hot shower, and then get dressed for my day. I feel like it will help with both my productivity, and overall well being. I'd love to know - do you currently have a set morning routine? Or do you just wing it... 

WORK ON MY BLOG EACH DAY - I'd love to commit 30 minutes of each day to my blog & new Instagram account A City Farmhouse. While my blog used to be a large part of my income, now I'd love to treat it more as a personal journal / passion project. However, should that bring a little side income in the future?... I would not say no. But that's definitely not my focus anymore. 


INTENTIONAL EATING - I've become a little more calorie conscious in the past year and I've had a hard time not calorie counting, and I honestly don't love it. So, I'd like to switch over to a more intentional eating mindset. The goal is to listen to my body and eat what I'm craving. Some nights that might be a light salad with scallops, or a gluten free pasta dish. Basically, I'd like to be less stuck in my ways.


SLEEP - Once we're settled in our new home (eeep, still can't believe we're moving!) - I'm eager to work on my sleep hygiene. I'd love to go to bed early, take an epsom salt bath, read & drink my sleepy time tea. Haha, I sound like such an old lady. But totally here for it! ;)


DAILY WALKS - My family doctor mentioned she's started going on daily walks before work and it's helped with her energy significantly. I loved hearing that because I've been feeling so tired & drained lately. So, I'd love to start doing the same + what better way to explore our new town & neighbourhood than going on a daily morning walk. Really excited for this one, and better health overall! 


What are your goals/intentions for 2022, friends?!
