SELF IMPROVEMENT CHALLENGE
I challenge you to spend the next week creating a space that’s just for you
WHY WHY WHY
- Creating a space of your own where you can sleep, eat, put on make up, read, surf the web or just sit in silence is like winning the lottery

DIRECTIONS
- Take the time to think about what kind of space you want to create and what kind of space you're working with
- Example: lets say you want a reading space but you live in a studio. Find big pillows and a special lamp that you can break down easily
- Find room inspiration on Pinterest
MY TAKE
My boyfriend went home for Easter and I was left alone to do nothing but relax. Surprisingly I didn’t the opposite of that, I creating my very own space, I finally put together a vanity. I’ve never wore make-up so this vanity is a large jewelry holder with is exactly what I needed, a place where I can sit down, stare out at the bay and bejewel myself. I went DIY crazy making jewelry holders and even made a chair! I love this new space, I spent hours sitting at my new vanity and smiling ear to ear. I hope this weeks challenge inspires all of you to create a unique space where you can spread out and be yourself.
XOXO
