Saturdaaaayyy! I know it’s not even Halloween yet, but I really wanted to get a head start on the holiday DIY & gift ideas this year because I’m really feelin’ like everyone could use some extra cheer. And let’s be honest... I just love the holidays. 🎁 I’m also kind of obsessed with this DIY mocktail/cocktail gift basket idea for pretty much all occasions, not just the holidays. Would be such a good hostess gift, birthday gift, housewarming gift, etc. And it’s so easy to make! Link is in my bio for all the details.

Yesterday’s blog post sharing the 3rd stop on our Northern Michigan Cottage Tour was such a fun mix of old & new cottage delight & this beauty was one of the new gems on the lake that had me just 😍 Those rooflines. That patio. The windows. Oh my! Slow clap for all of the geniuses that contributed to bringing this lakeside stunner to life. Can’t. Stop. Swooning. 🌊 Link is in my bio to peep even more lake cottage loveliness like this! 🏡

Ohhhhh yes yes yes. The 3rd & final stop on our Northern Michigan Cottage Tour is up on the blog (link’s in my bio) to fill you once more with all of the charming cottages design feels & today’s tour stop in Walloon Lake & Charlevoix showcases one of my favorite lakeside cottage design trends - a matching cottage/shore station/boat garage/water toy shed situation. Carrying your home’s design details right down through to your dock or beach is a really clever, classic design tradition on the lake that I honesty wish I’d been able to capture & share more of than what you see in the post because it’s SO fun & these genius homeowners & design teams get really creative with those coordinating details. I was so in love with this adorable abode & it’s matching shed (that yellow shed also matches the neighbor’s yellow cottage - swoon!) that it made me stop the boat & just stare. Also that exterior color is pretty perfect, IMO 🥰

I just realized that I have yet to hit publish on the 3rd installment of the Northern Michigan Cottage Tour on the blog & that really just shows how scatterbrained & preoccupied I’ve been this summer & fall. Hot. Mess. What IS 2020?! I was over here thinking that we were all done with the cottage tour & mourning that loss & then I realized that our Walloon Lake & Charlevoix stop on the tour had yet to have its moment! Someone call 2021 & ask it how it feels about sending me an advanced copy of next year. I’m ready. That request aside, our last stop on the Northern Michigan Cottage Tour, which is filled with lakefront cottages like this one, will be on the blog on Monday & this little sneak peek cottage snap with its perfect green windows & door & that wildflower/milkweed-covered yard is getting me reeeeallly excited to wrap this tour up with a bang! 🏡🌊

Yeah, I geek out about teeth. And?! I think maybe I was a dentist in another life. Or like... a really fun dental hygienist with the best stories. Either way I get pretty pumped about fresh breath & cool new flavors of mouthwash that don’t make my mouth feel like it was bathed in alcohol. Ya know? Smile talk is one of the few beauty routine topics I’m super into, so if you’re into pearly whites too just hop to that link in my bio & check out the epic new limited edition mouthwash I’m living for right now. 😁
