Feeling more myself each day that passes while also feeling like a failure to my channel is an interesting space to be living in. Watching numbers plummet, subscribers leave and content "not perform" just scares me to my core to truly be consistent with YouTube again. The break I intended to be for a year has found it's way into almost three. I lost my footing and kept falling. I tried to post through it but never had a clear vision so I led you guys to be scattered with me. 

I think writing about it will take that fear away because it'll make me realize I didn't start this channel for that. It'll remind I started this to simply make one person whose like me feel less alone, to feel seen, to feel like I am their friend and I am there for them, to show that the biggest DIY is life and isn't pretty, planned and perfectly executed. It's messy, beautiful, broken and always ends up balancing out one way or another. That we are human beings, not human machines.

It's hard to sit back and not say I don't tear up watching this channel go through a low. It makes sense though because I was going through a low. I'm nervous and excited to bring your through the light with me. Love you guys - new renovation episode coming Wednesday 🤎.

Just want to say I really love you guys. Immediately after posting yesterday's DIY, I have felt the happiest I've been in ages. I then realized holy wow I have missed YouTube and my creative outlet. Can't wait to show what you've inspired tomorrow 🫠. You got your girl smiling over here 🫶🏼 THANK YOU!

To clarify who in the heck Gracie is, well she's a Wild Mustang I have been bonding with over the  last couple months in hopes to adopt and bring her to her forever home on my property. She has been my saving Grace through this low and I can't  wait to share more of our journey together xx.

As I am waiting for my asbestos results before I go removing popcorn ceiling; I'm really trying to do a very unexpected accent ceiling in the living room. What do you guys think? Ignore the wall colors and try to focus on just what's happening when you look up - how it makes you feel.

Vacation with Hannah, food poisoning, fleas to flash floods that ruined the makeover as I am just about to complete it…this one has it all folks. This makeover shouldn’t have been this hard but she's finally feeling like home 🥹.

Happy Monday my beautiful YouTube family! Currently sitting on a mini vacation laughing at the behind the scenes week from hell that happened leading up to Sunday's video. Even though that episode was a rollercoaster,  I love/cringe showing you guys the reality of a renovation. How was your weekend?
