Tempurpedic // Tempur-Flex Giveaway

September 1, 2015

I am so excited to partner with Tempur-Pedic today to review one of their amazing new TEMPUR-Flex mattresses, and give away one queen size bed to one of my readers!

I wanted to make sure that before I wrote this post, that I had a full review of the mattress, so that I can pass along accurate information to you!

The latest mattress to hit the shelves in the Tempur-Pedic line is the TEMPUR-Flex!

It is the brand’s first mattress collection that combines adaptive support and pressure relief with a slightly spring feel thanks to an all-new TEMPUR material and innovative Dynamic Support layer.

It also includes a new moisture-wicking, cool-to-the-touch SmartClimate System. Which has been great for my husband who tends to be a warm guy at night!

The TEMPUR-Flex is available nationwide at authorized Tempur-Pedic retailers, and through www.TempurPedic.com as well as the brand’s flagship stores.

We received our new TEMPUR-Flex mattress back in June. We had just gotten home from a two week vacation, and the thought of sleeping in our own bed was heaven!

My husband and I were so excited to try it out. Even before it was set up we both fell back first onto the mattress, and let out an, ohhh, ahhhh!!! Nice!

My husband and I have been married for 12 years now this August, and we never invested in a high quality mattress. I am not sure why, because it really is life changing. I mean, why didn’t I get one of these beds when I was pregnant three times?! That would have made such a huge difference! Word to the wise, don’t wait! You won’t regret it!

I have LOVED the TEMPUR-Flex because it is firm, but also pillowy at the same time. You sink into it in all the right places, but you aren’t swallowed up by the mattress either.

I had been having this lower spinal pain the last few years, and I have a spot on my spine that always felt tender. The last few months, this bed has definitely helped with that pain, and it feels nice to not only sleep in the bed with no more tossing and turning, but also it gives nice support to sit in bed and watch TV or check my phone updates, which I’m guilty of doing way too often. My bed is my happy place, and much more so with my new TEMPUR-Flex! It has been nice as a side sleeper to not have too much pressure on my joints when I sleep, and I can get a better quality sound sleep!

It’s safe to say that both my husband, and I are LOVING our new mattress, and we are for SURE getting a better nights sleep!

Now, I am so excited to give away one Tempur-Flex Queen size Mattress to one of my amazing readers!! (Queen size mattress range from $1999-$3199!)

Florals Flowers How to Arrange Flowers Centerpieces

As I mention in my post a few days ago, I was able to put together the Ultimate Guide to a Dinner Party for Wayfair’s Emagazine Wayfair@Home Experts Issue.

One of my tips to staying on a budget for a dinner party, and setting up a nice centerpiece was to arrange florals on your own with in expensive florals from the grocery store, or from around your yard. I picked up these beautiful flowers while shopping at Trader Joe’s, and I knew they would be perfect for my Dinner Party colors.

I have honestly only tried my hand at arranging flowers a handful of times, so if I can do it, so can you!

I wanted the florals to have a little movement, but remain nice and low for guests to be able to see over them.

I used a jar from an arrangement I received in the past that had a plastic palm leaf in it, which is nice to hit the stems of the flowers. You can also add small sliced lemons around the edges or limes. I have done that once before, and it looked great!

I was pleased with how they turned out for being quite the amateur at arranging flowers.

Be sure to check out all of my tips for Hosting the Ultimate Dinner Party and more of the Dinner Party over on Wayfair.

Home Decor // Living Room Progress + Minted Art

Moving into a new home has been so exciting, but also so overwhelming. I have a hard time living in the now, when I have so many plans for our house, and so many things I would like to do. But, it obviously takes a lot of time and patience (and lets be honest, money too).

Minted Art Emily Jeffords Caitlin Wilson Textiles Pillow Lemmonlane Pillows West Elm Curtains West Elm Coffee Table

So, I’ve come to terms, with the fact that our home will be a constant work in progress, and things are going to take a while to get to where I would like them. For this room, I am thinking so beautiful finish work that will frame out certain walls, crown molding, and perhaps some wall sconce lighting around the Minted Art work.

So, while I still have a lot of vision for this room, I wanted to start sharing photos of our home and the progress.

Our living room is one of the first rooms that you see when you enter our home. It gets amazing light, and is a room that I try to keep clean and picked up at all times just in case a visitor stops by. I’ve always wanted a room like this, so therefore it is off limit to my kids so I know it is always in order. They don’t always listen, wink.

I fell in love with Emily Jeffords art, and when I heard that Minted was selling her art prints, I knew that her Land of Plenty print would be the centerpiece to our living room. I also was able to draw color inspiration from it as well!

When The Minted Art print was sent over, it came framed and ready to hang. The quality is amazing, and colors are beautiful.

When I realized the color scheme I wanted, I knew that Caitlin Wilson Textiles and Lemmonlane pillows would be perfect for the room.

We currently have a little love seat in there, but we will be moving our larger tufted linen sofa into this room when we find the right furniture for another part of the house that it is being used in.
