Six Years Later: How I’m Using the Stylebook App

More than six years ago, as I was still adjusting to life after college, I downloaded an app to help me organize my closet. Well, I downloaded two apps, compared them in a massive blog post, and chose one to use moving forward: Stylebook.

To be honest, I’m not sure I expected to still be using the app six years later. But I am. In fact, it’s pinned to the bottom of my iPhone so I have easy access to it, no matter which screen I’m on.

Now that I’ve got six years of use under my belt (and more than 1,100 days of continuous calendar recording!), I thought it would be helpful to provide an update on the original post about what features I’m still using every single day.

Sunday Scratches #107

August 9, 2020 | Behind the Scenes

Sunday Scratches is where I share the little stuff that has happened throughout the week. In hockey, “scratches” are people who are on the roster but do not play in the game. On the blog, “scratches” are the things that have happened to me throughout the week that aren’t necessarily big enough to be an entire post.

Happy Sunday! Here are the scratches for the week.

Recipes I Want to Try

August 8, 2020 | Food

This is now my third Recipes I Want to Try blog post, and it’s honestly one of the posts I look forward to the most! I wasn’t sure it if would stick, but it totally has—I’ve been using these recipes as inspiration, which has been especially helpful during the pandemic.

Last time I shared 8 recipes and made 6 of them. Let’s see how many I end up making this time around!

Some sort of Ramen recipe (this Budget Bytes recipe will help!)
Seared Tuna
Crispy Shrimp Tacos
Antoni’s Latkes
Pita Bread
Sesame Ginger Dressing
Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes
Tiramisu

What recipes are you excited to try?

I was able to get so much reading done in July! I’m still a little bit behind on my goal of reading 52 books this year, but I’m definitely catching up. Here’s what I thought of everything I read.

August Goals

August 1, 2020 | Behind the Scenes

I woke up this morning to my beginning-of-the-month reminders on my phone and thought to myself… there’s no way it’s a new month already. I JUST gave Stanley his flea meds… right?

What is time any more?

New Furniture in the Sunroom

A lot has happened in the sunroom since my latest update! Most notably, it’s no longer a collection of leftover furniture that didn’t really have a place in the house.

Home Tour: The Guest Bedroom

July 23, 2020 | Home

I’m excited to share a tour of our guest bedroom today! This was originally our bedroom when we moved in, but then we found a fireplace in the other bedroom and, well… the rest is history.

For a while this room was basically our “junk room.” We wanted it to be a home gym, but to be honest it’s weird thinking about having a home gym on the second floor. We had our pull-out couch in there for guests, but other than that, we couldn’t really commit to anything.
