The Awkward Blogger Contest Reveal!

I can’t believe we have a winner but we do! Thanks again for letting us have a humiliating time showing you all our best awkward photos from the “awkward years.” It was quite painful. No joke.

Did you guess who I was? I can’t believe I am posting this picture even LARGER, but in case you didn’t know I was B.

See the resemblance? Me either. Gosh that is seriously painful to look at. And did you know that my mom actually text me and said she had to look at the big photo collage 3 times before she “recognized” me? What the hay??! Hahaha.

Moving on. Forever from that picture hopefully.

There were so many of you who were soooooo close to guessing all the DIY bloggers correctly, but finally one person…one blogger…one true DIY fan rose to claim victory!

Please meet the winner of the Before They Were Bloggers Contest:

Sara from Mom Endeavors

This girl knows her DIY blogs because she’s a blogger herself. Please take a minute to congratulate Sara by leaving her a comment on her blog today. She spent a lot of time holding a sick little baby yesterday and clicking back and forth to the different blogs to match all 29 faces with their blogs (she’s quite the multi-tasker isn’t she.)

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for… here are the match ups.

A. Pretty Handy Girl

B. Decor Chick

C. All Things Thrifty

D. Tatertots and Jello

E. The Lettered Cottage

F. Infarrantly Creative

Did you do good in your match ups? Check out each blog because most of them will be posting a side by side photo of themselves. Feel free to laugh a little more.

It will be back to reality and decorating tomorrow I promise. No more baggy white turtlenecks for me.

xxoo,

Decorchick!

Hey, I’m Emily – and if it’s been a while, w Hey, I’m Emily – and if it’s been a while, welcome (back)!🤗

A lot has changed in the past few years—personally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve been through some heavy seasons… but I’ve also done a lot of healing, growing, and rebuilding.🙏

So here’s what you’ll find here now:

• Wellness that feels good and fits into real life
• Fitness and strength-building (yep, I lift—and love it!)
• Little peeks into our new home and everyday life
• Beauty, inside and out
• And an opportunity to join me in a business that’s been a total blessing—and just might be for you too

This page has always been a part of me—many of you know me as DecorChick. That version of me is still here… it’s just evolving into something more.🥹

And if you’re curious about the thing that’s helped me feel better, have more energy, and create a new stream of income…

Getting stronger—inside and out!💪 I’m not Getting stronger—inside and out!💪

I’m not just building muscle—I’m building longevity.

There’s something powerful about moving heavy weight. It reminds me of what I’m capable of—not just physically, but mentally too.

Lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics. For women, it’s essential. Here’s why:

1. It preserves bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis

💪As we age—especially post-menopause—our bone density naturally declines. Lifting weights helps slow or even reverse that loss, reducing the risk of fractures and improving long-term mobility.

2. It builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism

💪Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, which means strength training supports fat loss and makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting.

3. It reduces the risk of chronic diseases and supports long-term health

💪Lifting improves insulin sensitivity, lowers inflammation, and supports heart and brain health—helping reduce your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own strength journey—this is your sign. It’s never too late, and you don’t have to be perfect—just consistent.☺️

What’s something you’ve done lately that made you feel strong? Drop it below—I wanna cheer you on!🎉

6 years without alcohol. Honestly… still one of 6 years without alcohol.

Honestly… still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.☺️

Not because I hit some big rock bottom. But because I wanted more — more peace, more clarity, more freedom to not let wine-o-clock dictate my life.🍷

Saying no to alcohol has allowed me to say YES to so many other things:

👫Deep, honest relationships
☀️Early mornings without regret
💕Trusting myself fully
🥹Feeling everything, numbing nothing
🙏And being so at peace in my own skin

If you’re sober, sober curious, or even just thinking about your relationship with alcohol — I’d love to hear your story. Share it in the comments or send me a message. You’re not alone!

Here’s to living fully, feeling everything, and having the ultimate FREEDOM!🙌

#6YearsSober #SoberCurious #alcoholfree
Today we celebrate the victory of life over death, Today we celebrate the victory of life over death, hope over despair, and love that knows no end. 💕May the joy of the risen Christ fill your heart and home with peace, purpose, and renewed faith. He is risen indeed!

Happy Resurrection Day!!
