After 19 months of working from home full time, I finally transitioned to a hybrid work from home/work in the office schedule this week! In honor of that, and because I haven’t shared photos of our new home on the blog yet, I figured this would be the perfect time to give a quick home office tour! Before we dive…
I never thought I’d be the type of person to rave about a frying pan, but the day has come and that’s 100% who I am. For those of you that don’t know, I became a Beautycounter consultant about 2.5 years ago, and since embarking on that journey, I have learned so much about harmful ingredients that are found in…
I have a guest author joining me on the blog today, and you guessed it…it’s Gary!! Back when I first started this blog, I semi-joked about having a Gary’s Garden series since he is usually the one who takes the lead on our balcony garden. Well, the day finally came!

Food waste is a contentious topic in the Peiffer household. Who would have thought?? I am uber cautious about throwing items away after they’ve reached their expiration date. I live by the motto, “when in doubt, throw it out!” Makes sense for a girl whose biggest fear in life is throwing up! Gary, on the other hand, will eat anything…

Therefore, most of our dishes were hand-me-downs or garage…

I love pink things, sweets, hearts, and flowers every day of the year, so I feel like everyone else gets on board with all of that for Valentine’s Day! Before I…
Fun fact: 2020 was the first year that I ever decorated my own gingerbread house! Given that my office couldn’t have an in-person holiday party, we were all given a gingerbread house decorating kit, and we had a decorating competition on Zoom. For those of you that don’t know, I’m competitive….like, reallyyyy competitive. And given that this competition pseudo fell…
Check out this cute DIY sign that I refinished to align with my navy and white decor! One of our very favorite local BBQ places recently closed its Santa Barbara location. Before making their big move out of state, the owner had a warehouse sale to clear out items that they didn’t want to pack up to bring with them.…
