Today’s post is all about how indoor greenery can anchor a room and give life to design. I personally have about five orchids in my home and my friends joke that I’m the crazy orchid lady which I take as a total compliment. It’s like saying I’m like Taylor Swift, except orchids instead of cats. I wait quite along time for them to bloom and am trying to coax them to bloom more often, but they really do breath life into my home even between blooms. I pulled most of these photos from our Pinterest design board which was not surprisingly filled with lots of greenery in almost every photo we’ve pinned!
Modern Mommy Gift Guide
April 30, 2015With Mother’s Day a couple weekends away, we wanted to share some great gift ideas for the woman you admire, your mother! Moms are truly so special and one-of-a-kind and I can only imagine how hard their “job” is yet somehow they’re so full of love, patience, understanding and care. I know my mom is always there for me and bends over backwards to make sure my siblings and I are taken care of. I probably don’t tell her enough how much I appreciate all the sacrifices she made for me but on Mother’s Day I can at least treat her to a little gift to show my appreciation. My momma is a modern lady and always stays on trend. So with that in mind, I chose some great gift ideas that can appeal to the modern mom no matter what her age.
Women Who Inspire: Kendra Scott

This past weekend was my mother’s birthday and as a treat to herself, she bought a pair of the classic skylar earrings in periwinkle from none other than the fashion jewelry maven, Kendra Scott. Who doesn’t love to gift themselves? But if you’re gonna be buying your own jewelry as a b-day present why not get a discount. So you may be asking yourself, how do I get this said discount? Well, I’m so glad you asked because the oh-so-popular brand offers a 50% off birthday discount during the month you were born on one item. How cool is that!! This is one major reason I love Kendra Scott .
Meet Me at the Beach : Pinspiration
April 25, 2015“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” – The Great Gatsby

Earth Day Every Day
April 22, 2015In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to share some of my favorite eco-friendly brands that are changing the world. I’m such a fan of companies that are committed to making this earth a better place for future generations. I sound like such a hippie but it’s so important that we take care of the resources on this plant and consume in a responsible manner. From sunglasses to concrete planters, you’re going to become huge fans of these socially responsible businesses.

Women Who Inspire: SXSW Edition
March 21, 2015I’m such a believer in women empowering women and lifting each other’s spirits so I love to go to events based around women supporting each other. Luckily enough, I live in Austin and have been able to attend SXSW. The one event that I did not want to miss this year was Neiman Marcus’s Make Some Noise . It was filled with beautiful ladies from the inside out discussing how they are leading the way forward for women around the world.

March 4, 2015

So today I’m going to share with you a few simple code tips and tricks that Melissa and I live and breathe by.
Get your dream job
March 2, 2015
photo cred: The Everygirl
The other day, I had an intern approach me at work and she wanted to set up time on my calendar to go over interview tips and tricks. I was a little surprised for a couple of reasons – first, I was flattered she trusted my opinion and that she wanted to learn from me. Second, I felt a little old! I’m really not old but it never occurred to me that I’ve been in the workforce for seven years now and have some good experience under my belt. However, it feels like I just graduated college. So after the initial shock, I was more than happy to help with her upcoming interview. I shared with her my fav tips that landed her the job! This advice is helpful for someone entering the workforce with minimal experience.

Delete every other app you have and save yourself the storage space by downloading and signing up for the simple to use app that makes shopping….in their own words, dangerously easy!

A way to a man’s heart

What’s the best way to a man’s heart? You guessed it, his stomach. Feed a man a home-cooked meal and he’s putty in your hands. This Valentine’s Day, stay in and cook a romantic dinner followed by…dot, dot, dot. You can use your imagination on that. If you really want to turn things up a notch, you can cook with an apron on and some sexy lingerie (shop this post) underneath. I’m pretty sure your man will be drooling but not for dinner. And if things get too heated in the kitchen, just make sure you don’t burn the food. I’ll share my favorite Italian dinner which is an easy and delicious 3-course meal to prepare this Valentine’s Day. Bon Appétit!
Gift Guide: Galentines
February 9, 2015
Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas. Galentine’s day that is! Just like Leslie Knope put it, Galentine’s day is clearly the best day of the year. You finally have an excuse to run out and get your girls some super fun gifts that tell them exactly how rad, cool, awesome and amazing friends they truly are to you!
Secrets from the boudoir
February 7, 2015There’s is no room for shyness when you are behind closed doors with your man. Let’s keep it real, men are visual creatures and giving them a private show can be a fun way to connect on a more intimate level. Remember, no matter what you are wearing to the bedroom, confidence is key and you will scream SEXY when you strut your stuff!
Creating a Gallery Wall
February 3, 2015Give your walls the love they deserve by creating a one-of-a-kind gallery wall. Let’s be real, there are far too many bare walls in my condo and they are just boring. I’ve decided to transform a focal wall by my dining room and jump on the gallery wall train by creating a statement with various art, mirrors, and wall decor. I’ve chosen a rather daring color palette of white, gold, and black to make to my home feel a little more glamorous. It’s taken time to collect these pieces but I’ve finally created the perfect gallery wall that I am so proud off. I wanted to share some tips and tricks to jazz up your space.

February 1, 2015
Today we wanted to share with you our favorite gifts for him this Valentines day! Valentines day for me has always been super fun with or without that special someone but I can’t deny that when I’m in love, I really do enjoy coming up with surprises, hatching the perfect plan for awesome gifts big or small and making that special someone feel as special as he makes me feel.

January 26, 2015Jennifer and I were beyond thrilled when we were nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely and beautiful Kelsey from The Young and Wild Wife . Since our blogging adventure began in December, we have been so awe-inspired by all the amazing and talented bloggers we’ve connected with. It’s incredible to see such a supportive community that is so willing to help you reach your potential. The Liebster Award is such a fun way to get know all the fellow bloggers you follow on a more personal level. It’s a unique approach to spreading the word on new bloggers with 3,000 follower or less. For those lucky ladies that have been nominated, just answer the 11 questions listed at the end of the post and then nominate 11 new blogs to answer a set of new questions (by the way, it’s so hard to narrow it down to only 11 blogs). Kelsey, thanks so much for thinking of us!
Sincerely, Seek Wander Share
January 23, 2015There’s an art to sitting down, putting pen or pencil to paper and sharing your thoughts with the world. Even if you keep your creation all to yourself, and never stamp it and drop in the mail box, or crumble it up and throw it away, or tuck it behind nicknacks in an old drawer, your creation still exists. That’s not the case with a file on your computer when you press delete, and I’ll admit it feels much more impersonal and unconnected. Today is National Handwriting Day, and although I would have wanted to send you something the old fashioned way, our favorite quotes, thoughts and musings will have to do.
