Welcome to More Random Stuff!
2025 Oscars…My Favorite Movement!
After watching the Oscars for 2025, most will reflect on the gowns, the speeches and of course the winners! For me, my favorite moment…Adrian Brody throwing is gum to his beautiful partner Georgina. So REAL!
Oils for Life…
If I had to choose two things in life that I could never go without! These are the two. Many have spoken about Castor Oil…I have lived it for over 20 years! The hype is REAL! The second is Oregano Oil. It’s the answer to everything, and I mean everything!
This space is about shedding light and sharing reminders. Google or Chatgpt for the deep dives on both!
ICKS…in Home Décor that Makes Your Space Look Cheap!
No matter the type of space, size, or location of where you place your “stuff,” creating a vibe should always be your number one goal! I have seen many different spaces, from mid to high level. These “icks” destroy a space no matter where you live. Top 5 Offenders:
- Grommet Drapes. You Can Get Budget Drapes…Here is a Great Example: Back Tab Drapes
- Bad Lighting – Cold White Light (Fluorescent)vs. Warm White Light. Plus, No Table Lamps.
- Bad Art Presentations, Too Sparse and Wrong Sizes.
- Cord Clutter, Clutter in General!
- No Style or Story…Just Cut + Paste Looks!
Move Over Statement Dresses and Necklaces…Because now it’s All About the Statement Stove!
What is old is new again, and the stove is even more important now…then it has ever been.
Whether you prefer to select from top Italian, French, or English brands, these statement stoves are front and center! But no worries, Frugalicious Besties—I found you a fabulous statement stove without the hefty price tag!
Louis Vuitton, Flag Ship Store in Manhattan…I’m Dead!
Okay, this is amazing! Shout out to the Creative Director who did this! Love it, or hate it…it’s amazing!
Amazon…We Can Never Go Back!
Wow…what did we do before Amazon? Possibly, spend hundreds of hours searching for something that can be found instantly at the stroke of a key.
We sit back, snuggled in our favorite locations, sipping our favorite beverages. All while discovering random shit that we completely do not need…but for some reason…it finds its way into our carts only to arrive at our doors within 24 to 48 hours.
Click the image to shop, all the fun without the hassle of trying to find a parking spot. These are NOT affiliated links…just random stuff.
Chic Nest Styling!
As someone(designer) who has seen the interiors of many homes, I’m always shocked at how people choose to create their spaces. Everything from slick editorial vibes (think Elle Decor Chic), pedestrian (think Pottery Barn), to barely there modern (think art gallery chic), or worse yet, utilitarian (just what I need, nothing else), to “When’s the last time you saw your floor?”
We all have our own individual stories and desires on how we like to see our spaces reflect us.
Because this is a zero-filter zone, of bite-sized posts. How about this, since most prefer to go rogue with their homes here’s some zero-point content:
- Pick-up Your Shit.
- Style? First Discover Yours. Then No Buying Everything From the Same Location, that is NOT a Style Direction. That is Cut + Paste.
- If it’s Damaged…Repair it, or Let the Item Go!
- Basic Beige is Just that, BASIC.
- Stop Being Safe, Think Impact.
- Size Matters!
- Texture Play is a Must…Especially for Neutral Interiors!
- Layer’s Will Make or Break a Space.
- Add a Touch of Nature, No Green Thumb? Find Some Preserved Plants…Anything But Silk or Plastic.
- Stop Working Without a Net. If My Air Conditioner Breaks, I Don’t Try to Fix it Myself!
Influenced?
Oversaturation of Influencers: As the influencer market expanded, consumers experienced fatigue from being bombarded with promotions, and endorsements, as skepticism increased and decreased effectiveness occurred!
Consumers need authenticity, everyday individuals with genuine insights garner more trust and engagement than established influencers.
As we know everything changes! First, it was over-saturation from Madison Ave (think Mad Men). Then it was all about the life of the 90’s Supermodel, followed by a celebrity presence.
When the so-called influencer arrived, at first it was welcomed, but unfortunately, the unauthenticity became obvious. Only to discover they were the ULTIMATE POSERS!
We now welcome in the era of organic and authentic voices!
