French Garden Makeover Part 3 🪴 I just finishe French Garden Makeover Part 3 🪴

I just finished adding some globe cedars along the front path to give it that Provence cottage charm. Living in Zone 3, I went with the hardy evergreen globe cedar because Boxwoods can't handle the cold of our winters. 

Follow along as I continue to add to this garden!

It's going to be a long hot summer. Just a few m It's going to be a long hot summer. 

Just a few moments I've captured recently. Life has been busy so I haven't really filmed much content lately. Hoping to get back into it this week, but I'm not sure where to take this account. At first, it was mostly going to be home decor and gardening, but my focus has shifted more to fashion and healthy eating and honestly, those topics get a lot more engagement both here and on my blog. So please, bear with me while I figure out where to take this account. I'd love to hear your opinion.✌️

With love,
Chelsea

Sunday Brunch 🍳 Ever since I saw Moonstruck wh Sunday Brunch 🍳

Ever since I saw Moonstruck when I was younger, I have been obsessed with recreating the eggs-in-a-basket shown at the end of the movie. The ones in the film are fried in a pan and topped with roasted red peppers. Since my family detests red peppers (yeah, I think they're crazy too) I substituted them with Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Here's how I make mine:

Rustic Cast-Iron Mediterranean Eggs

✔️ Take a slice of crusty bread (I use sourdough) and spread a thin layer of butter on either side.

✔️ Cut a hole in the middle with a biscuit cutter or knife.

✔️ Place in preheated cast iron frying pan on medium low heat.

✔️ Crack an egg right in the middle of the hole and fry on both sides until preferred readiness.

✔️ Serve and top with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, green onion, and salt and pepper to your taste.

This super easy breakfast is the perfect way to elevate your weekend brunch. Save this post or check out the full recipe on my blog, linked in my profile. 

Happy Sunday!

✨ Bedroom Refresh ✨ Turns out, I didn't have ✨ Bedroom Refresh ✨

Turns out, I didn't have to break the bank to make my bedroom feel warm and elegant. Once I touched up the walls and added some boucle pillows, it instantly felt so much cozier! 

✔️ Fresh Coat of Paint
✔️ New Sheets
✔️ Throw Pillows 
✔️ Lumbar Pillow

Let me know, should I added some art to the walls or keep it clean and simple?
