DIY Wedding Decor

DIYs

One of the weddings this summer was of an architect friend of mine, M. She wanted to do a DIY wedding with a lot of industrial elements. She had a vision and several of us helped carry it out with her. The Backdrop The Detail We used purple carnations, baby’s breaths and a few eucalyptus branches along with some other greens. We used wreath metal rings that you can find at the Dollar Tree. We separated each wreath wire and got 4 circles out of each one! #frugal Then used floral wire to wrap the greens and flowers around the rings. The Center Pieces You can learn how to make the geometric “cage” from Home Talk blog. Additionally, we used aluminum cans as vases to put in the center of the “cage.” The Party Favor You can learn how to make these at Ugly Duckling House blog. Can you tell I’m…

Detroit Michigan

Exploring US Cities: More From Detroit, Michigan

Eating Out

I’ve been to the Detroit area before; however, ever since my parents moved here, I have been going back more often and have discovered many new places! On one of the recent trips, I had a chance to go into the actual city and explore other places around the area. The Places I Visited Heidelberg Project Before the trip, I had researched a few places to check out and kept coming across this community art project, Heidelberg Project. It was started by Tyree Guyton, who upon returning to the street where he grew up, found it in a state of disaster. With the help and encouragement of his grandfather, he cleaned it up and ultimately turned it into a huge art installation. In 1988 they turned this effort into the Heidlberg Project whose mission is to “inspire people to appreciate and use artistic expression to enrich their lives and to improve…

Tropical Bridal Shower Party, Tropical Decor,

A Tropical Brunch

*This post contains affiliate links. I will earn a commission at no additional cost to you if you make a purchase using my links.* It’s summertime which means its also wedding season! So naturally, I have two weddings to attend. This also means I am going to be hosting a party or two and helping with the planning. Which are some of the things I love doing! Here is the setup for the first one I did just this past weekend. I had a brunch at around 11 a.m. with a tropical theme. It was set up in the patio and I kind of went crazy and designed all sorts of fun stationery to go with the whole thing. GARLAND I started off by making a garland that I made from real and fake plants. I literally went into my friend, D’s yard and asked if I could pick some…

Falling Water, Mill Run, PA

A Weekend Getaway – Falling Water, Mill Run, PA & Berkeley Springs, WV

Tay Explores

FALLING WATER!!!! I studied about this architectural masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright in school and ever since, I knew I HAD to check it out in person! In planning it all out, my friend, M (my fellow architect friend and appreciator of everything design) and I debated whether it would be a day trip or a weekend trip. We ultimately decided that a weekend trip would be perfect because  we wanted to get away and find a cool cabin near it and just relax. However, it was hard to find a good place near Mill Run that was decently priced so I had the genius idea to look up places in West Virginia which didn’t seem too far from Mill Run, PA. It actually wasn’t that practical at all lol but it all worked out for us. The cottage we got via airbnb was 1 hour and 45 minutes from…

Hawk Rock Overlook on Appalachian Trail

Hiking

One of my favorite trails in Pennsylvania so far is Hawk Rock in Duncannon, PA. I hiked this trail for the first time ever, 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve gone back to it a couple of times. It’s beautiful both on cool, cloudy days as well as on bright, clear sunny days. We even spotted a hawk (I think). But also, I think it’s named Hawk Rock because the rock looks like a hawk from afar. It takes us about 2 hours to climb up and back down which is a pretty decent workout. Hike Details: Parking Location: Watershed Dr, Duncannon, PA 17020 Hours: It looks like it’s open daily Length: 1.6 miles out-and-back Level: Moderate Elevation Gain: 750 ft Helpful Llinks: All Trails – A lot of helpful reviews Uncovering PA – Detailed map and outline of how to see Hawk Rock Overlook as well as Cove Mountain Overlook…
