{ words for your week: don't discount yourself. }


You know that REALLY surprised face that Taylor Swift has every time she wins an award? 

(By the way, this is not me making fun of Tswift. I totally love that lady.)

Well, that was pretty much my face when The Everygirl told me they wanted to feature my little ol' apartment. I have been a huge, huge fan of both Danielle and Alaina's blogs for quite some time now. Receiving a compliment like that from two ladies who I've admired for so long had me literally leaping down the hallways at work. 

No, seriously. There was lots of leaping.

I just want to be honest with you guys because it's just not me to play it cool. I'm not cool at all. This is such a surreal experience for me, and I'm still not sure I'll believe it until tomorrow. Either way, I just wanted to remember this day because this process has reminded me that you should never discount yourself. Crazier things have happened than your dreams coming true.

Thank you, The Everygirl.


I hope you all will stop over tomorrow for a peek into my home.  Sending lots of love your way this week.

    Wandered over from the feature! I really like your living room. I was wondering — would you mind sharing some budgeting tips? Do you rarely purchase other things (like clothes) in favor of saving up for home items? Are there places you shop often that people wouldn't normally think of (I noticed you said you got your rug at Big Lots, and I never thought they had anything good there!)?

    I loved your feature! You did such a great job with your apartment, and what you had to say was so knowledgeable and well-spoken for a 21 year old. You go girl!! :)
