Gift Guide 2018: for the blissful blogger

I absolutely love being a blogger. If you don’t believe me, just take a listen to my podcast, Episode #9 where I talk all about it. It’s been such a joy for me. I know that nowadays it seems like everyone is a blogger, back when I started it was so seldom you would meet a blogger. Blogging is amazing but it is also a lot of hard work. I even wrote a book on blogging. So, If you have a blogger in your life, I completely suggest you support their dreams and this year get them something really special. Here is a list of some fun things I know any blogger would loooooovee.

1. Ok, so here is the deal. I love planners. I literally buy new ones all the time. It seems like I am always on the hunt for the perfect planner. I think I finally have found it. The Bando planner. Here’s why. It’s got a hard cover which makes it nice to write on. It is spiral bound which means I can keep it half open on one page when I write which makes things so much easier for me. I just love it. Oh and the cover for this year is like a purple mermaid ish cover. It’s beautiful. I use the medium size right now but the large one is calling my name. Mine is the 13th month school year agenda but this one is all year for 2019.

2. Initial necklaces are so in right now.

3. I love coffee. Every blogger loves and needs coffee. I had a Keurig a few years ago and then I updated to a fancier coffee maker. Long story short, I love a good classic cup of coffee so I am ready to go back. I think this pearl Keurig is so pretty. This is definitely on my list.

4. Do you get headaches when you stare at the computer for too long? I do. And my eyes get a little fuzzy too. These UV blocker glasses help just that. Every blogger needs these.

5. So I saw this girl at a coffee shop with this pretty bag as a laptop bag. I am obsessed, its a faux Birkin look, comes in all colors. I just love it.

6. This version of the volcano candle is epic. It’s huge and absolutely gorgeous.

7. Good blogging requires good photos so getting a tripod is a must.

8. This is the pen I use every single day. Not only is it pretty but it writes well and every blogger needs one for good workspace photos.

9. If you don’t have a Lumee case you are missing out. The light is so good it makes the face glow when taking selfies. It’s also very cute and if you drop your phone, this is like the most resistant case ever.

10. I swear by these felt letter boards. I have my eye on this one in pink because it has white and gold letters. So cute.

10 things that rocked my world 11.27.18

1. If you have been hanging out with me on Instagram then you know that I am currently obsessed with these pajamas. They are beyond comfortable. They’re made of modal which is my favorite for cozy items like sheets, towels and pjs of course. I am all about a cozy night in. P.S. If you haven’t already, you must head over to the Bliss Vibes Only podcast and check out my latest episode on this very topic.

2. Speaking of that, the podcast got a new name and new cover album. I really hope you are enjoying these episodes. I pour my whole heart into it so we can all connect and go deeper. Like really get into certain topics and ideas that are easier than blog posts.

3. I love you guys. My readers have always been so supportive and amazing. I love this cute little shot that @irenegpena sent me of her Blissful Living books. I just adore those candleabras. I would add some pink tapered candlesticks and voila, a perfect night in!

4. Pink roses are my absolute favorite, I love to pick them up on Sundays. Rumor has it that Costco sells two dozen for $20 and apparently they are so big and lush. I am going this next Sunday to check it out.

5. I also love an instagrammable moment. This particular restaurant. Bisou, was gorgeous and made a beautiful backdrop for all our photos from lunch. I want my home to look like this.

6. My baby boy turned 5 months old which is just incredible to me. Where did the time go? I am absolutely in love with everything Nordstrom baby, I love this little jumper he has in a pretty teal blue. I can’t find the exact one but here are a few I am thinking of getting him.

7. Thanksgiving was so much fun. In memory of my grandmother we made Kiffleys. A hungarian cookie that is literally the best thing since sliced pizza.

8. Currently on my nightstand. The Michelle Obama book & Capture your Style. Have you guys read either of these? What are your thoughts?

9. Did you see the post I did about the color of your sheets and how they reflect what you are attracting into your life? Basically take a look at your sheets. What color are they? That color speaks volumes about what you are attracting & attracted to in your life. Should I do a full post on this, guys? Let me know in the comments below.

10. I reflected on everything I am thankful for over this weekend. Your readership has been very important to me for over 10 years now. Thank you so much for being a reader of The Decorista. I promise to continue to create inspiring content just for you! Love you. xo
