This weekend, I had the pleasure to host my friend’s bachelorette party at our house. I went all-out with decorating and I’m so proud of how it turned out.
I love the act of making things pretty, creating things by putting ideas together in my mind and then bringing them to fruition. It’s the best feeling in the entire world, even if it leaves me absolutely freaking exhausted in the end (and I have to spend an entire day in bed recovering). Someday I’ll get better about pacing myself, but for now I am glorying in the beauty of this moment.
I was recently accepted as an Amazon associate, so I’d love to share my sourcing for the products I used for this party. If you click my link and buy something, I’ll make a small commission at no extra cost to you. 🙂

Here are a few more photos from the weekend. Thank you for following along with this fun memory.
Beautiful florals from Trader Joe’s. I can’t believe Baby’s Breath is back in style these days. It’s like the 90s are calling and having their moment in the sun again. What’s old is new, always.
We hired an incredible executive chef to make the meal for the party, Kimo Eats. She did a fabulous job. Can’t wait to hire her again for future events and I highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for a fabulous event caterer. She is just starting her own business and I want to do everything I can to help her succeed.
Our beautiful bride, Jeannie. She is getting married this coming weekend. It was so fun to have this bachelorette moment where she can just revel in her love and forget about the stresses of wedding planning. Love her so much.
You know I had to document my clean house! I actually washed our microfiber couch covers in the washer. It’s a bit of a pain in the butt to remove them, but honestly it’s so worth it. Makes you feel like you have a new couch. Here’s a link to the blankets I use to cover the couch. I love that it gives me that white/neutral vibe without actually having the stress of owning a white couch. If you saw how dirty these blankets get on a weekly basis, you’d know why we’ll probably never have a light couch (even though I love the look!).
I love the way our ladder blanket holders look when properly styled. These were $20/each on Amazon and so worth it.
To prep for the party, I went to the Castro on Friday night to get a certain component of my ‘erotic cake’ at Hot Cookie with Keith. I was reminded of just how incredible my home is. I rarely go to SF, but it feels good to expand my web beyond Oakland from time to time.
Okay, one last little random tidbit. I bought a gel kit on amazon and this is my RIGHT hand of an at-home gel mani. The kit cost $40 and came with everything you need to do an at-home mani. I am excited to own this and save some money on my nails. I have BIG PLANS for this summer and every cent I save is going to go to my new projects (more to come on this!).
That’s it for now. So happy to be back writing here on meeshyd.com. Love y’all.
