Flu Post Recovery

I'M BACK. 

You guys, this weekend FLEW by and let me tell you why... 

Tyler and I decided to go home for Easter and ended up staying with his parents. I did not sleep very well during our time there, and I couldn't figure out why. I always woke up with a sore throat but blamed it on allergies.

After Easter, we drove back to Florida and I did my thing at work that week, still feeling "not myself" and the slightly annoying sore throat continued to linger.

This past Wednesday I come down with a stopped up nose and begin getting body chills. 

Oh boy. The Flu. 

It COMPLETELY crept up on me! I didn't even see it coming!

By Thursday, I was shivering & rolling around in bed because of muscle pain. 

I haven't seen sunshine in 4 days!! I haven't even had coffee because I was told it's the worst thing one can drink when they have the flu (dehydration!) I'm on the tail-end of it but I feel 300 pounds heavier and so sluggish. Ugh!

But I'm back. It's been a heck of a weekend and my husband did such a great job taking care of me. Sometimes sick days make you appreciate the normal, "boring" days haha.

Thanks for all being patient. It's gonna take me a few days to get back in the groove of things but I have some really great ideas up my sleeves that I want to share with you all :)

Ikea Clothing Rack

I live in an apartment, and with that comes limited space…limited closet space. Let's be clear, here! Sure, a large kitchen would be nice, and so would a second bedroom but I'd trade both of those things for a spacious closet!

Last week, Tyler and I were spring cleaning. It was so refreshing to get rid of clothes I haven't touched in a year! It definitely freed up space in my closet, but nowhere near enough!! That got me thinking...

I was browsing the web yesterday for "clothing racks" because I find them super charming, especially exposed in an unpredictable place like a bedroom, and I came across this clothing rack from Ikea. Practical, good looking and $9.00. SOLD! I put 2 in my cart and DONE!

These puppies came in today and I'm drooling over how much extra space i've gained since setting them up! I keep all of my pretty clothes on display and all of my…err...practical clothes in my closet. Who am I kidding? I don't have practical clothes. Everything I buy either has sequins or feathers. If an outfit has both, then my day has been made!

Anyways, back to this clothing rack - best purchase ever. If you're limited on space, I recommend you purchasing one!

All in all, I may not have a huge closet, but I have a cute space saver, and that's pretty much the same thing. Lots more to do to the bedroom, but it's coming along! And this orange is SO FAB in person. Thanks for stopping by!
