The Starling House in Swannanoa, North Carolina
Over the weekend, Alex and I stayed at the cutest A-Frame cabin called The Starling House in Swannanoa, North Carolina. We have always wanted to stay at a tiny house so we booked this Airbnb when we came across it earlier this year. Because it’s absolutely adorable and close to Asheville, it’s pretty popular. In fact, Thanksgiving weekend was one of two weekends available when we made our reservation back in June. There were some things in the Airbnb listing we had overlooked and some things we just didn’t know until we got there, and I am sharing those things in this post in case it helps anyone planning to…

Week in Outfits 2021.11.28
LAST WEEK: The three-day work week followed by a five-day weekend (I took today off as well) was a blessing. It’s always a treat to turn off your brain for a while! My only plan was to read and eat a lot and I accomplished one of those things (the latter if you couldn’t guess). THIS WEEK: Returning to work after a holiday weekend is always a struggle but since I am coming back to a four-day work week, I hope it is not too painful! It’s absolutely wild that it will be DECEMBER in just a couple of days. Where has 2021 gone?! I don’t really have any plans…

Here are some gifts I am giving this year: Breville The Handy Mix Scraper My older sister has been into baking more and asked for a hand mixer. After some research (aka googling and looking up a few “best hand mixer” lists), I decided on this Breville Hand Mixer! I found it for the best price on Bed Bath & Beyond. Candle Care…

All You Can Eat Sushi in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill
Hi, friends! Sushi is one of my favorite foods, and naturally eating lots of sushi is one of my favorite activities. While I appreciate high-quality sushi, I enjoy eating sushi in large quantities too. I have tried all three All-You-Can-Eat Sushi restaurants in the Triangle area and I am excited to share my thoughts with you! I am also sharing some tips to maximize your AYCE experience at the end of the post. FYI, all of these places have recently increased their price by a dollar or two due to the high cost of seafood. Orchid Japanese Restaurant – Raleigh Price: $19.45 for lunch & $28.95 for dinner. You can…

Week in Outfits 11.21.2021
LAST WEEK: Work was pretty busy earlier in the week, and my only consolation was putting up the Christmas tree! This is my first time having a tree in my office room and I am loving it! I spend most of my waking hours in the office and it feels extra fun and special to have a tree that is decorated very “Ju.” THIS WEEK: I am very much looking forward to the short week! I am taking Monday after Thanksgiving off as well so it’s an extra long weekend for me. Alex and I’d tinderversary is November 29th so we’re staying at a cute tiny house airbnb for a…
