Creative Hub Conference

If there's one thing I've learned since taking the entrepreneur jump, it's that you never stop learning! Since I didn't come from an entrepreneurial or business background when I was first starting out I read, read some more, listened to podcasts in-between reading, and watched just about every Facebook Live session and webinar I could find. Nearly 2 years later, not all that much has changed except I'm also one of the people giving advice <-- woh, that feels cool to say! The truth is, we all have different paths to success and there is no better way to find our own paths than from learning from each other.

So when I connected with the host of Creative Hub Conference, an online conference for creative entrepreneurs, I knew I definitely had to check it out! For one thing, the speakers they pulled together are bomb digs! They really brought some amazing women from different industries together including Lara Casey, Casey Wiegand, and Megan from Scarlet & Gold.

New York City's Sweetest New Dessert Bar

A cookie dough bar has arrived in NYC and people are losing their dang minds!! And for good reason too. The idea is a dream for your tastebuds! Introducing , or rather re-introducing to many of you because they have blown the heck up! They may have only been open for a few weeks but their press coverage has been insaneee. The video below that's been making the rounds on Facebook has over 40 million views alone!

The word on the new spot has spread so far and wide that I was in for a sweet surprise on my birthday from Little Duck, all the way from Oregon! Girl is up on her game! So up on her game, she made it in for a local delivery order before they had to shut it down due to demand!

I was so surprised to have these little cuties delivered to my door! And if you think I was excited.. you should have seen Chris' face when I made him wait a few minutes to snap a few pics

Little Duck picked out two signature flavors, their Signature Chocolate Chip and Confetti and they did not disappoint! Truly just as delicious as you'd expect! And no need to have any warnings from your parents like when you were growing up about eating raw cookie dough 😉 DO uses pasteurized eggs and heat treated flour. If you pick up a cartoon and decide you're in the mood to bake some cookies half way through you can do that too!

Farewell Colorful Studio
Anna Osgoodby Life + Design : Colorful NYC Studio Apartment Tour

Since life was a little cray when we moved and I didn't have time to do a proper goodbye post for my studio, I'm doing a little #ThrowbackThursday today!

Anna Osgoodby Life + Design : Colorful NYC Studio Apartment Tour

While everything turned out just fine (as it usually does) I was pretty sad to say farewell to my colorful little studio! It was my second solo apartment, and will definitely go down as one of my favorites! Bright colors, cute little balcony, subway tile, and a dishwasher, oh heck yes! Living in luxury in NYC 😂

It was also unfortunately the second apartment I've lived in that the landlord ended up selling the building 😳. NYC real estate is no joke guys.. So today I'm giving it one last hurrah to share some of my final decor dets before it got boxed up!

The perk to living in an apartment that is basically just a big rectangle is helloooooo wall space for a BIG gallery wall! Haha, I'm a sucker for a good gallery wall so I filled this baby up.

Something I've adopted in multiple apartments now, is my washi tape wall designs! Such an easy way to add some color or dose of excitement to your walls and it's just as easy to peel off when you move. Ideal for renters like me!

Another fun touch in the studio was my "confetti wall" above my bar cart. To add a little fun to that wall I got 2 different types of gold paper and used a die cut punch to create the little circles. Pop a little double sticky tape on them and wa-lah confetti wall!

I also had the most adorable little balcony that I LOVED! The perk to being on the top floor was there was nothing above me too -- the one perk to living on a 5th floor walk-up! Haha. In true Anna fashion, the balcony was just about as colorful as the apartment!
