Gettin' ready...

That's right friends! We are finally ready to share our homes with you! Everything is clean and in it's proper place, and our friend Rosie is coming down to each of our homes tomorrow to do a photoshoot! Eek! We're so excited! We have been working on finishing up projects and taking care of the final details since the new year, so we're really excited to see the end result and be able to share it with you! We have spent countless hours painting, sanding, sewing, hammering, drilling, crafting, staging, and cleaning so it feels so great to see the fruits of our labor! 

Keep you eyes peeled in the coming weeks because there will definitely be a lot of home interior photos on our blog. Yay!

The great maillot hunt!

With only one month until we hit beaches of Thailand, we are on a mad hunt for a new swimsuit! We are completely head over heals with 1950's swimsuits, especially the maillots! Here are some of our favorite ones that we've been seeing lately:

Scallops on a swimsuit? Are you kidding me?

Wanna sponsor?

We can't believe that March is just around the corner! Where has the winter gone?! 

Not that we're complaining or anything... 

We have a lot of exciting things happening in March, one of the big ones being our trip to Thailand! We can't wait to hit the markets and the beach! Not to worry though, just because we are on holidays, that doesn't mean that we are taking a holiday from blogging. We still plan on having lots of posts while we are gone and of course many updates of what life is like overseas! We think March is going to be a fantastic month for our blog, which is why we would love to have you sponsor us!

Our rates have changed slightly since last month and we have also added an additional ad size, so take a look the updated chart below and pick which ad option suits your blog's or shop's needs!
