A PERSONAL ASSISTANT?! YES PLEASE!

boho – modern – chic : my home office inspirations
Since I have the chance to work from home (Yes I find myself lucky), having a work place that feels right and looks like me, that reflects my personality is a must. Living with 3 little men and my love in a more masculine house ( aka surrounded by Tonka trucks and fireman uniforms) , means that decorating my little space the way I love and want it just feels right and the right thing to do since I need to spend so many hours working there. I need to feel like it’s MY ROOM, my little space, where I will feel inspired, resourced and energized.
I just wanted to share with you some ideas, inspos and little tricks I have learned by browsing the web, getting inspired on Pinterest, reading fengshui books, looking at decor magazine, shopping…
I first started to think about what kind of vibes I needed and wanted for that space and took little pieces here and there from different decor styles. I want my place to be relaxful even if it’s a work dedicated place, vibrant but not to bright, girly but not too pink, fun but not too distractful, cozy but not too much so I don’t feel like napping all the time haha!
I’m hoping to create a welcoming and stylish work area, by mixing elements from a few design styles to keep my little office looking fresh, cozy and just like me. Here are my favorite aspects of each styles that most represents me.
SEEKING THEMATIC INSPO
MY PERSONAL NOTES….
1.BOHO STYLE
Accessories. moroccan/Indian style pillows/throws
Bold. bold hues and rich fabrics offset white walls & tone motifs/prints
Plants. you can never have enough plants
Whites. all white palette gets vibrant with ornate pillow and/or rugs

2. SCANDINAVIAN STYLE
Whites. include all-white colour palettes and the incorporation of natural elements like form-pressed wood, bright plastics, and enameled aluminum, steel
Colors. If there are pops of colour it often comes from the use of art, natural fibre throws or furs, or a single piece of furniture

3. INDUSTRIAL STYLE
Sawhorse.The industrial look is all about utility and could be used as a rack or desk support.
Go thrifting. Metal, or metal and wood, chairs or small cabinet can bring an industrial vibe to any room.
Paint it black. Paint anything black for an instant industrial update.
Pipe bookcases.
Black, white and gray palette. Limit your decor to a fairly strict palette of black, gray and white, with some natural wood thrown in.
Raw. There’s a sense of unfinished rawness in many of the elements.

Now, choosing the best POP of colour (pop because I want to keep it mainly white and neutral) for a productive, inspiring office space
By deciding what you want to impact, add accents of colors with the following in mind:
mind – shades of blue/grey
emotions – shades of yellow/beige
body – shades of red/pink
balance -shades of green

Whether you have a full or part time “at-home” job, just need this space to pay the bills and classify your documents or are a small business owner as a second job, I think that a home office or work area is always nice to have.

Good evening mamas.
As a mom of 3 boys, I’m always on the hunt for safe and secure, non-toxic, durable and cool, minimalist baby accessories. With my 2 first babies, I didn’t have the chance to get teething necklaces, not available at the moment. Baby toys and accessories have changed so much since the past years, so many items making their apparence on the market. Being a mom is of course my first full time job but I need also, to not forget that I’m as well a woman, wifey, entrepreneur, girl boss… reasons why I love to take care of myself and look good. See me coming? So if to my eyes my look is important, what I wear and accessories I choose for myself are very important as well. Having the possibility to choose over stylish, chic, minimalist and class teething jewelry makes me happy. I know it will complete my look without having the tag on the forehead “I’m wearing my babies toys around the neck!”
I had many emails and messages regarding my necklaces so I thought it would have been a good idea to share with you my thoughts and review about teething necklaces.
Here are my favorites.
NATUROCO
Minimalist and modern necklace, with 2 buttery soft silicone beads and 1 organic maple wooden bead as well as a strung on pure stainless steel ball chain.
They have some other models from different makers. As well as all their products offered in the shop, they are tested, high quality and ethically sourced products that are safe for your home, your family and our Earth.
Our favorite from the boutique Naturoco is definitely the “NOIR teething necklace”.
STRING & CHEW
These stylish handmade mama necklaces are also free of harmful chemicals. Each bead is hand strung on a nylon string with a knotted finish at the end of the beads, and all closed with a plastic breakaway clasp. They all measure 36” in length.
Our favorite are the HUE, SIMPLE and CLASSIC.
ORGANIC MAMA
They specialize in chic, stylish teething jewellery. The collection was created for mama’s that want to look fabulous and with necklaces that would remain practical for the little ones.
Our favorites are LUXE peach and MADISON for a more neutral look and if your’e looking for a bolder look, AVA and LUXE black will answer all your wish list.
I find that silicone teething necklaces offers me a practical, convenient way to ensure teething relief and I know that it will always be at hand. My little one really loves the soft, flexible nature of child-safe silicone. I also find that it is really convenient not only when little man is in my hands but when breastfeeding or when I wear him. He loves to hold it in his tiny little hands and of course chew on it for minutes…
You want to make sure that the teething necklaces you are choosing have the following features that are just as important as for teething rings and teethers.
