Date Night

Filed Under: Beauty & Style Tagged With: sponsored

Last week Kenny and I had the chance to have a date night. We went out for sushi, then we went down to the waterfront at sunset so that he could fly his new quadcopter.

Quadcopter-1

I even brought my big girl camera, which I hardly pull out anymore. I am glad I did because the sunset was gorgeous! I have gotten accustomed to using my iPhone for everything, so it was nice to pick up my DSLR again and snap photos.

Sunset

I also took that opportunity to snap a few photos of my new favorite accessory. The Wood Watches by JORD are amazingly beautiful! I picked the Zebrawood & Turquoise from the Cora Series. I have received so many compliments on this watch. It fits my personality to a T.

If this color combo isn’t your style they have many more colors and styles to choose from for men and women on their site.

Cora-Wood-Watch

This is a self-winding automatic watch, no batteries required. It really is a well made beautiful watch. JORD definitely paid attention to the details.

What is your favorite activity on date night?

I was provided the JORD watch in exchange for a review of the product. No other compensation was received. All opinions are 100% my own.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
