A Condo Closet Paradise

Recently we were woken up by what seemed like life just throwing annoying house issues at us. The closet "system", which was really just a long pole stuck into the two ends of the room came crashing down one morning!  I had been saying this was going to happen for days, but it finally happened.  All of our clothes, boxes, and random junk we kept in the closet now sprawled all over the floor. WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP...am I right?!

 See, with me recently moving in with Scott (my boyfriend of 4 years 😋), came a lot more stuff that the closet wasn't equipped to handle apparently! I was "slowly" moving bags of clothes and hanging them up without Scott knowing. (I did it when he wasn't home... shhh....).  But because the closet was being used by a man who has far less clothes, and really only likes maybe 4 t-shirts it became very noticeable it was an issue. But we just continued living hoping for the best.  

Now to be completely honest, this closet needed a remodel.  It just wasn't a priority.  NO, I did not help this along I swear! But since everything came crashing down, it was the perfect time to make it better. 

We bought a real closet system, and stayed up for hours that night putting it together. It's got multiple shelves, and places to hang clothes, and I just love it! 

I also took this opportunity to purchase a vanity.  It has become my favorite room in the house, because let's be real, I completely took it over. 

Now I need you to see what this closet looked like the day it all came crashing down....



As you can see it was one long bar holding up a ton of clothes, and then some shelves holding a bunch of crap.  To be honest, I think we threw away everything on this shelf.  It was such a wasted opportunity!

Now I'll show you the finished product and my favorite place to hang out and do my make up for too long :)




As you can see, it's come a long way from what it was.  If you ask me, it just needed someone who cared about the space.  Which in the case of a closet would be a female.  Scott would have never redone a closet! But to be fair he would have never accidentally taken the closet down with his excessive amount of clothes.  

It all worked out though and that's all that matters!

And rest assured, this will  not be the last thing that gets a makeover. 🙈

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town.  Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas.  This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ).  But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center.  There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...

Hey internet, it's been a while.  Seems I blogged for the month October and only the month of October. Let me explain what happened... As you can see my posts were mainly about how I adopted iifym macro practice, and how well it was working for me. Honestly I had seen so much progress and success with this idea of eating for a while.  I thought I have finally gotten myself on a path I was happy and successful with. I thought I had finally beat the binging. Unfortunately that was not the case. In fact right when I stopped blogging is when my binging worked its way back to my life. Correlation? Yes.  How could one write positive messages and healthy eating support, when you are unhappy and can't even control your own eating?! For the months following October, I would eat and eat and eat until I felt sick.  I felt so sick sometimes I could have sworn I was going to die. Every morning I would wake up saying "yesterday was the last day."  So I would restrict al...

Date Weekend- New York City Edition

It's no secret in our household that NYC is our favorite place to be. Scott was raised there, and ever since I was young I have always loved it there.  Honestly it's where we talk about retiring to!  Strange right? So a few Friday's ago we got to drop the little man of the house off at grandma's, and we had a night out.  He saw Disney on ice, and we had a delicious dinner in Brooklyn! We decided to try out a restaurant called The Buttermilk Channel, and man it did NOT disappoint! Let's first start with the drink I had called the Lucha Vavoom, which was mezcal, tequila, honey, and lemon. Have you ever had an expensive drink that makes big promises and is basically a watered down alcoholic drink? Yeah... this was NOT that.  Off to a great start with that! We started our meal with a bacon appetizer.  House cured bacon with whiskey poached figs, and black garlic to be exact! It was between this and the cornbread...but we are bacon people.  ...
