Op-Ed 05: Finding your style and creating a cozy home

 


Welcome back to another episode of Op-Ed! This episode was one of the initial episode ideas we had from the very beginning. Home design and decor is always a popular subject in both of our Instagram DMs, so we knew we needed to include it. In this episode, we talk about finding your style, share some very basic design elements, discuss both of our must-have cozy elements in our own homes, and much more. It is an episode you won't want to miss if you struggle with design and wanting to paint ALL THE THINGS white in your home.

Op-Ed: 04 Adult Friendships



Welcome back to another episode of Op-Ed! We hope this episode was a surprise for you as we were live TOGETHER! If you follow our social media, you saw that we weren’t able to do a girl’s trip this year, but that didn’t stop us from getting together. Kelly made the trip to North Dakota and it was perfect! We enjoyed being able to discuss friendship all while physically being together growing our own friendship. We hope this episode blesses you in your own friendships and gives you one or two nuggets of wisdom for how to approach those friendships that may be struggling.

Welcome back to another episode of Op-Ed!
