Black and White Home Office {the makeover reveal}

interior designed home office   My home office makeover is finally complete! You've waited for weeks as I talked about every inch of all the projects, being very patient as I had a lot to do.

How to perfectly hem curtains

Although I'm a big fan of handmade curtains, sometimes you can find a really great pair for less than you can make them.

Kahlua and Coke Ice Cream Float

Sometimes a girl just needs a drink. Have mercy! I'm not a big drinker, but if you give me a bottle of Kahlua then I'm good to go for about 6 months. Of course, with a Kahlua and Coke Ice Cream Float, it might not last quite that long. It takes me back to childhood, except I still get to be all grown up with a little alcohol addition to this adult drink. All you need is ice cream, Coke & Kahlua. Put a single scoop of ice cream in the glass, then add in a shot of Kahlua (give or take ... continue reading...

Hey there, I’m Gina!

I believe in the magic of soft living, finding joy in every day moments, and building a magical life from the inside out. I’ve spent the last 15+ years sharing my story online – through creativity, healing, and a little rebellious sparkle.

I’m a writer, dreamer, and witchy woman who believes your everyday life should feel enchanting.

Most days you’ll find me with paint on my hands, dirt under my nails, and a journal full of big dreams. I’m so glad you’re here.
