Stan and I are very, very excited to have our first apartment all to ourselves! While we’re still in the organization process, here are a few of my favorite things about our new place:

My Jones Soda & candle rainbow is definitely my favorite piece of the new apartment. I thrive in an environment with lots of color. Color makes me happy, motivated, and inspired, and I like the harmony of rainbows. In case your interested in making this yourself, it’s just water with food coloring inside of the Jones bottles.

Here’s my work space. See? Lots of color! Also, lots of fragrance oils and cupcake soaps. Of course, my office would not be complete without my Harry Potter collection and the wand my fellow HP-obsessed friend Ray whittled for me.

Above are my favorite things found in the kitchen {okay, other than cooking/baking supplies!}. My new colorful apron with red heart pockets is so adorable. I got it at Target for only $10! The picture of cupcakes makes me smile every time I look at the fridge. I love the strawberry magnet my boss gave me, too {it was on top of a washcloth folded into the shape of a cupcake}. <3

I also love hearts! The heart mirror I bought from Ikea for around $8 and I’ve got a few heart necklaces as well. I’m not a fan of jewelry boxes because everything gets all jangled and tangled up, so I hang my necklaces on the wall with pushpins. I totally stole this from my friend Jordan, who’s been doing this for years. Smart cookie.
