DO YA THING, B

Hey y'all!!

I jumped on the Trend Train real hard. I have been OBSESSED with everyone's Instagram pictures of the letter board-inspirational quote combo lately. I was bitten by the letter board bug this weekend and I had. to. have. one.

Does anyone else follow Whoa, wait. Walmart? on Insta? If you don't, you need to! I am an avid Walmart shopper, literally one of my favorite places. No shame. These ladies search Walmart for the best finds and they reposted a photo about a week ago of Walmart carrying...LETTER BOARDS! I wanted to hop in the car so fast and drive as quickly as possible to Walmart and snag one...which I did.

I took to Pinterest to find the perfect first quote to tack on the board. One of my most pinned quotes is of course about Beyoncé. I landed on one of my more sassier choices: Do ya thing, B. *hair flip*

I love this little board. It comes with over 100 letters and best of all, it was only $10! It is felt with grooves the letters cling between and it looked good pretty much anywhere I sat it. It was adorable on the kitchen counter, but I couldn't get a good picture due to the lack of light.

I'm saving it for my future apartment, but couldn't resist testing it out and attempting to style it. We have very little natural light in our house, so I had to get creative. My room is the brightest because of the gigantic window, so I jacked the curtains up and attempted to reflect as much light as possible.

I did catch myself laughing at the aftermath of this "styled" photo. I had a real-life-blogger moment and had to snap a semi-embarrassing picture of my room.

My usual white comforter is in the wash because Messi, my pup, decided to throw up on it yesterday. It's temporarily replaced with a bright and flowery patchwork bedspread by grandma made me when I was in middle school. Messi is staring out of the wide open window with the blinds pulled as tight as possible to let as much light in the room and the curtains are out of sight and pushed as far as they can go to the left. Oh yeah, I can't forget the glamorous dog kennel in the corner stacked with everything that was on the table that is now styled for this particular post. I was trying to drink my hot coffee as fast as I could because I decided to snap these pics when I should have been getting dressed for work.

In all seriousness, these hectic mornings are my favorite. I was still dressed and out the door when I was supposed to be and I actually had time for a second cup of coffee. I guess this quote really was inspirational.

I hope everyone takes the time to think about the meaning behind Memorial Day today. I'm guilty of thinking about a three day weekend instead of why we have a three day weekend. Thank you to everyone who has served, is serving, and will serve in the United States' armed forces. Today we focus on the ones who fought and gave their lives for this country. Make it a safe and memorable day.
