This week was a doozy. I felt off all week from having such a crazy weekend. Even with great things happening around me, I couldn't shake the feeling. I took a mental health day to clean the house, work out, take a nap, and try and reset. Hopefully it was just what the doctor ordered.

Harper's Bazaar has some great online articles. Last week I read - and embarrassed myself - with an article on how to pronounce designer names. And this week, another great article - 10 Must Have Items in your House By 30.

1. Art You Love

2. An Organized Bookshelf

3. Matching Towels

4. A Plant

5. A Nice Mattress and A Headboard

6. A Collection

7. Bathroom Accessories (that aren't plastic)

8. A Favorite Candle

9. Two Bedside Tables

10. A Luxurious throw

A few years ago I would thought you were crazy to buy a $150 dollar throw, or a fancy candle over twenty bucks, but now I get it. Quality makes a difference and if you buy it right the first time, you only cry once.

See Joel, we need a tempurpedic!

I made Natalie's chicken meatballs and they are To. Die. For.

Click here for the recipe and do yourself a favor and make them next week. SO good.

On March 1st, my cousin Amanda and I are jet setting to Punta Mita, Mexico for a week of pure bliss. I've never been on a true girls trip, and I'm just giddy thinking about our sleepovers, days lounging by the pool, and tequila filled dance parties that are sure to happen. 3 more weeks!

Plus, before I even leave for Mexico I have a girlfriend coming to visit next weekend and the following weekend my mom, Grandma and Aunt will all be here in LA. pinch me. It's nice to live in a place that people want to come visit you and vacation!

And, obviously, since the next 4 weeks are slammed, Joel and I are not doing a whole heck of a lot this weekend. We are going to try and stay in both nights, mop the floors (!), and maybe go see a movie. Hope you have a great weekend too!
