March Recap

Today I’m recapping the month of March. Get all the details on what I bought, watched, read and my personal favorite – changed in my home.

Clothes & Beauty Products I Bought:

Polka Dot Jumpsuit
Denim Jacket (this is similar to mine)
Target Wedges – Great Marc Fisher dupe!
Dry Shampoo
Purple Shampoo – My hair was getting brassy and my hair stylist recommended I try a purple shampoo.
Beauty Blender
Bridesmaid Dress (lol – thought I’d share this as a preview to the wedding I’m in this May because it’s super cute!)

Home Changes:

So, I redid a basement room and I wanted to show y’all before and after pictures because it’s INCREDIBLE. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen it already in my stories, but here’s the results. I am thinking about doing a whole post on my house transformations – thoughts?!

Isn’t this nuts?

Where I Traveled/Ate:

Did you catch my “Don’t Be Spring Broke Post“? I tried hard to NOT eat out or travel this month in an effort to save money.

Movies or Shows I Saw:

Last month I got Movie Pass, which I plan on writing a whole post about. I saw four movies this month – one I saw twice actually!

Every Day: This is about a person who wakes up in a different body every day. It’s definitely different, but I would say something to rent. My rating: 3/5 stars.
Hurricane Heist: I LOVED this movie. It’s made by the producers of Fast & Furious and similar in theme. My rating: 4.5/5
Tomb Raider: I am such a nerd and saw this twice. I didn’t realize it was made after a video game until after. It reminded me of National Treasure. My rating: 4/5
Midnight Sun: Oh, Bella Thorne. Everyone hates her, but I like her as an actress. This movie was so cliche and cheesy. My rating: 2/5 but good for a girl’s night, as it was captivating.

Netflix/Hulu Series I Watched:

Still finishing that old Project Runway season! I actually invested in the CBS App on my phone and I’ve been watching The Good Fight. It’s only four episodes in if you want to follow along with me! I highly recommend it for lovers of Law & Order or drama shows. It’s a spin-off of The Good Wife (an old favorite of mine).

Recipes I Tried:

It’s awful to say, but I didn’t try any recipes this month worth sharing. I tried a crockpot chicken thigh/potato/carrot medley that had a soy sauce topping and it was just meh. I’m not sure if I over-cooked it or it was the sauce, but I didn’t love it.

Books I Read/Am Reading:

I really wanted to read three books this month, but I only got two finished. Maybe I’ll have more time in April.
The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington
Glass Houses by Louise Penny

What’s On My Tending List for April:

I’ve been going to the gym 5/7 days a week and to a lot of cycling classes, so continuing this. I also plan on doing a 5K, going to bridal showers and bachelorette parties and trying to maintain a good nightly face regimen – which if I do, I’ll share!

  • If you watched my stories, you may have seen my GIANT #monstera! I decided to propagate it on Monday after finding this perfect rattan-looking ceramic planter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my first year with any houseplants that aren’t succulents so I googled a ton of blog posts about how to propagate. Today (after waiting 3 days) I swapped the water out for new and placed the cutting next to the current plant on a little table. I’m hoping this works and it grows roots/thrives in a few weeks. Please send me ALLLL your houseplant tips! So far I only do these
  • Would rather have been in the snow in Jackson Hole than getting 10+ inches in Nebraska❄️ Last January we were skiing, drinking wine and venturing around my favorite place. Take me back! Where’s your favorite winter trip? #visitjacksonhole #jacksonhole #wintertrip #snowday #nebraskablogger #letitsnow #winterfashion #winterstyle #sorelboots #patagonia #milliondollarcowboybar #skijacksonhole
  • Each year I set a reading goal, and most years it increases. In 2020, I wanted to read 32 books; however, 2020 was a bit of a mess. Although I spent more time at home than ever before, I spent less time reading. I did get the chance to finish 26 novels, and I can’t wait to share them with you on my blog today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know it’s past the end of the year, but I wanted to share my “best books of 2020” post still, as I know many of you made a reading goal for this year
  • If you’ve followed me since the holidays, I’ve been testing the @peterthomasrothofficial Water Drench Hyaluronic Glow Serum from @sephora, and I’m amazed with how this product literally drenches your skin with intense moisture. In the winter (especially this weather), I always struggle with certain parts of my face being more dry than others, and if I had any dry spots, applying this at night took them away by morning.  I use one other serum at night, and this was a great one to alternate this season (I also love PTR’s masks). It’s clinically shown to lock in hydration for up
  • Finished last weekend’s project! We added board and batten to the previously plain entry way. I jokingly told my mom I’d do this project if it cost less than $40 - it was only $38 to complete, so we did it! Plus, @menardshomeimprovement 11% rebates are back Swipe to see before ➡️ I added a new entry table from Hobby Lobby (in-store only) and some decor I had around the house. I can’t wait to show you the other area we added board and batten to once it’s complete! http://liketk.it/3alwq #liketkit @liketoknow.it #entryway #entrywaydecor #entrywaytable #boardandbatten #boardandbattenwall #hobbylobbyfinds #hobbylobby #homedecor
  • Our first two days in Utah have been GORGEOUS. The weather is sunny and 70’s + the hikes have been incredible at @canyonlandsnps, @deadhorsepoint, and @archesnps! Tomorrow we’re hiking more of Arches + repelling down canyons, so we’ll see how that goes I’ve been sharing lots in my stories, including the fun places we’ve been staying. So far I 10/10 recommend camping at Dead Horse State Park. Just wowwww! Happy Sunday! ☀️
