cosy bedroom vibes with parabo press

Ohhh baby, fall is finally here. Not sure about where you live, but here in Toronto September-October is this kinda awkward time where none of us know if it's going to be hot af or starting to get chilly. We had some really random hot days in October that served no purpose other than to truly confuse the heck out of all of us!

But, it seems as though fall is finally here, in fact the last few days have really been quite chilly. I'm talkin' time to wear slippers inside and put extra blankets on the bed kinda chilly.

We're getting our home ready for hygge season and that means little new additions and ways to switch it up and make sure we're even cosier than ever before.

Pete and I were trying to decide what to put above our bed. We knew we needed some sort of print or photo but couldn't decide. After looking through some photos of last years trip to Joshua Tree we realized that was the *exact* print that would be perfect for our above our bed (so we can dream about Joshua Tree every night, obviiiiii)

As soon as we decided on the photo to get printed, I hit up my favourite place to print beautiful photos - Parabo Press! What a dream. And since I am such a visual, crafty, kitschy kind of gal I still absolutely love to get actual prints made. Nowadays it's so tough to even find a place that prints photos, and this is a way to not only do that, but do it from your own home (while in your jammies!)

I'm always beyond excited to receive my prints from Parabo and this was no different. The packaging is beautiful and so unique and the quality of the photos are top notch. This print turned out perfectly and it was just what our room needed. 

If you've been saying forever that you want to get some prints done, then let's make it happen! You can use my code HEYXO for 25% off your prints // offer valid until October 31st!

HAPPY PRINTING, BABES!

mailing christmas cards + parabo press

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! It's been a wonderful, yet busy one for us! On Saturday night we hosted our annual Christmas party! It was so fun to celebrate the best season ever with the bestest friends. Although the party was great, I am feeling pretty happy it's over too! Now we're on to the next one!

I've got another jam packed week of Christmas events and celebrations and really tried to take Sunday to rest, get caught up on some things and re-charge (wrapped some gifts, wrote out some cards, and stayed cosy inside since it's very chilly here)

I want to talk a bit about Christmas cards, snail mail & why I still LOVE to send cards, letters and packages in the mail in the mail! I absolutely LOVE the cards we got made from Parabo Press! They are amazing. Their packaging is to die for and the cards are so lovely, and the envelopes! Ooooh baby! SO good! Can't wait to mail these out.

1. It's so personal to send something handwritten to someone you love to show them you care!

2. People tend to only get things like bills in the mail these days, this'll brighten their day!

3. This is a great excuse to be creative and get your own custom cards made!

4. In a world where everything is digital and on the internet, sending something real is so lovely!

5. Christmas time is the best time to show people you love them with a hand written note!

Mailing out cards is definitely a tradition of mine and in the last 4 or 5 years getting custom cards made have been my go-to move. I'm always so happy with Parabo and these photo's don't even do them justice. For more inspiration on the beautiful things you can create, follow Parabo Press on Instagram!

I wanted to share some photo's of the beautiful prints I recently got from Parabo Press -- they are beyond wonderful. And I've got to say, I am so glad that places like this exist because I am personally a lover of printing my photo's, no matter how old school this may be.

I've always been one to take (and print) photo's and I love the evolution of prints and what they've become over the past few years. There's so much room to get creative and create some really special keepsakes, gifts and ways to commemorate special moments.

I've been especially excited about ordering prints since the wedding (of course!) and I've ordered so many for us, family & friends! 

Today I am sharing some prints I recently ordered from such an amazing company - Parabo Press! I absolutely love what they create and was beyond thrilled with how my prints turned out. Not to mention they literally have the most beautiful packaging EVER(!!!) Also, I made a 2017 calendar all of my FLOWER photo's *swoon*

& since I love y'all so much I am offering you 25 FREE prints if you use the code JULES at check out! Now for my next adventure? Finding a way to organize & display all of these cute prints!
