I’m Vanessa!

I’m your favorite cousin who loves getting sawdust in her hair, knocking down a cabinet (or two) and building a beautiful home all while keeping 600 plants and two pups alive. I’m here to give you tons of ideas for how to make your apartment, house, or any corner of the world feel perfectly unique for you.

I love a good cry, true crime podcasts, cheese tamales, and cold brew!

Never did I imagine that all those hours my grandma made me put into gluing cotton to the ceiling and sprinkling glitter around to make the most epic nativity scene would come in handy. Sometimes, we can choose what enough means. Which level of decorating is most like you? I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to go all out for the holidays. Small touches of cheer are more than enough but if you happen to get hit with the holly jolly spirit like I did, you can find SO MAMY (like forreeeall, SO many) cozy essentials and decor at @bedbathandbeyond I held off on trying this Plant Food for so long and YALL ITS A GAMECHANGER. Comment “LINK” and I’ll send you the link to their 20% off sale. I’m noticing so much more growth after MONTHS of my plants having plateaued. I’m going to try it on all the houseplants and keep you posted. Save this for later. When I told you I was taking down the soffits you asked me to help you get rid of your kitchen soffits ASAP! Here is what I did before removing the soffits in the kitchen and in the bathroom (throwback). Bye kitchen soffits! This song makes me want to swing a hammer 😂💃🏻 Bill and I hadn’t talked for almost 6 years and one day, out of the blue, he called me just to see how I was doing and I thought THIS IS MY MOMENT TO PLAY HARD TO GET so I said “I don’t want to be friends, I don’t want to be in touch unless its actually going to go anywhere and I honestly don’t think it is.” And he said“ok, I respect it” AND HUNG UP ON ME!! I punched the air so hard because deep down I knew how badly I wanted to be in his orbit, how much I missed laughing at his jokes, how many times I had practiced writing his last name after mine. If only visiting hours were a thing. Because sometimes living in our heart is not enough. We miss you. 🧡 Feliz Dia De Muertos, happy Day of the Dead.
