Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays | Well Wishes from The Lovely Side

I hope everyone had a lovely, blessed holiday. I had a wonderful break from work – spent back in my hometown with family, food, fun, and nearly a foot of snow!
Except for the occasional Instagram'ing of the pets, I took a short hiatus from the internet and blogging. Unfortunately, some of the scheduled posts I had lined up have not published (along with some others that I wrote in the past couple of weeks). I'll be working on those publishing kinks as soonly as possible.

Today was back to work (I'm on break now) for me. Cheers to all you lucky lovelies who have a few extra days off! I'm very much looking forward to a quiet weekend in my apartment full of blogging, relaxing, and maybe furniture-rearranging.

How was your holiday?

P.S. The adorable holiday greeting card pictured above can be purchased from LilyandVal on Etsy. I'll never get tired of deer antlers and pretty chalkboard drawings.

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Aria's Room | Pretty Little Liars Decor

Welcome back for LU's 2nd room in the PLL series! Today you're getting a glimpse into my favorite room on the show... Aria's room. Aria Montgomery is the artistic, imaginative, bookworm of the bunch. So it's no surprise that her room has an artsy, historic, romantic eclecticism atmosphere. Plus, it's full of books. My two words for Aria's attic space: Vintage Eclectic. (Those happen to be my two favorite decorating words... so brace yourself for my soon-to-come swooning.)
