Oh, hi friends!

When I got home on Sunday, my only goal (besides unpacking) was to avoid napping and stay up until 10pm to prevent as much jet-lag brain as possible. 

Turns out that was easy to do. 

Because when I walked into my apartment — which I hadn’t seen for 10 days — I was glad to be home, but I also saw all the little things that I’d been overlooking.

Maybe it was staying in so many perfectly organized, clutter-free hotels that did it. Maybe it was seeing what little stuff I actually used on a daily basis. 

But now I finally saw the mirror that I never rehung, the picture that was hanging crooked, the electronic cables squiggling on the floor like a bunch of loose snakes, the messy desk, the disaster of a medicine cabinet. I saw it all and I loved it all but I thought: I can do better than this.

So I spent a couple of hours joyfully hanging up new things I wanted on my walls, rearranging my desk, and throwing out half the stuff in my medicine cabinet (Sephora, turns out I actually don’t want your free samples).

It probably looks exactly the same to anyone else’s eyes. But to me it feels fresh. I have more space, ready to fill it with whatever I want — or leave it hotel-room blank.

What can you rearrange today?
