Sometimes you gotta innovate. #DIY #homedecor #Home

To know me is to know I love creating — to sketch an idea, and bring that vision to life, no matter what kind of project. Over the last year I’ve been designing a small collection with @OliveandScout and in just one week is launch day! As if that wasn’t exciting enough for me, I then find out it’s going to be available to shop online at Target!! 😭 None of this would be possible without you guys. Thank you for supporting and inspiring me in all of my creative chaos. 🥹 NO BORING BOYS CLOTHES ALLOWED! Launching on 6.10.2025. Available online on the Olive & Scout website (US & Canada) and online at Target.

These Lego treats would be so cute for a Lego themed party, so easy to make. #lego #easydessert #party #dessert

OKAYY the END!? with the purple lights!? Screaming. I fear this ate every other party set up, devoured. Or am I delusional? #basketball #nba #party #crafts

#NinjaPartner Why go out for Ice cream when you can bring the icecream to you. Can’t believe I finally got my hands on the Ninja Swirl, it’s a 10/10 for me! #NinjaCreami #NinjaSwirl @Ninja Kitchen

Had this idea after looking at my pile of recycling, and omg it’s so cute 😭 setting up for our ice cream social next, do I add string lights over the table or too much!? #diy #cardboard #icecream #crafts

What happens when I’m given some cardboard and lighting? The most magical ice cream social 🥹💡📦✨ #diy #cardboard #icecream #crafts

 #ad No chance I was gonna get 9’ walls cleaned along with the entire bedroom in 60 minutes if not for @O-Cedar. Had seen the H2prO Flat Mop on Tiktok and now it all makes sense why it’s so viral — super easy to use, and I love how it separates the clean and dirty water! #OCedarPartner

I remember commuting to my corporate job 4 years ago frustrated and wondering: “when the hell is the big idea gonna come in?” I always knew I wanted something of my own, I just didn’t know what. I started going to therapy during the pandemic, and in one of my sessions, my therapist suggested I start decorating and posting about it. My immediate response was, “that’s gonna be a waste of time… The market is saturated.” That’s when she asked me, “what do you have to lose? You’re doing something you’re passionate about, and you just happen to be posting about it.” Now, four years later here we are. A reminder, we will always make excuses as for “why not”, but there are always arguments for “why to” — and THOSE arguments are the ones that change the course of our lives. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart! This is SURREAL.

These customized suitcase goodie bags were so easy to make, but now idk if I should make the luggage tags colorful or cohesive with the suitcases!? #diy #crafts #partydecor #easycrafts

Celebrating is a privilege, but in Brazilian culture, it’s also a tradition — so when I told my mom I only wanted to do a small cake and balloons with Dave and Axel for Axel’s first, she got on the first flight to put something together and bring the family together. Growing up, I remember my parents working overtime, just to throw us birthday parties — I used to think it was because they felt the cultural pressure, but I sat on this after Axel’s first and realized… they did it for the memories. At 33, I remember just about every birthday party, the different themes and experiences. They’re core memories now. Needless to say, it’s not about how grand the party is, but about the special moments and time put in that make them memorable. Whether you DIY it out of cardboard and paper, or hire someone to decorate for you, creating new experiences is what will create those core memories — and THAT is what matters.
