Easy DIY dimmer switch

Wish your lamp had a dimmer? All you need is a dimmer switch – no need to touch electrical wiring. You plug the lamp into the switch, plug the switch into an outlet and you’re done! Dimmer switches are available in models for both incandescent and LED light bulbs and cost about $15. I used them on pendant lamps that didn’t come with a switch – perfect solution!

So much love for my furry valentine 💛 19 years

So much love for my furry valentine 💛 19 years together from Montreal -> Chicago -> NYC -> LA -> ? can’t wait for the next adventure with her by my side 😻

I’m so glad I took a chance and partnered with @ourkindra to get a bit personal and share my experience with menopause 💛It’s been the catalyst for lots of amazing conversation here on IG and I do hope that it’s helping lift the stigma around a topic that inherently is neither good nor bad - menopause is just a fact of life that every woman will experience eventually ✨I think it’s also important to get educated and know all the possible things to expect with menopause so we can be more prepared. I knew about hot flashes 🥵, but I had no idea how much my mood and sleep would be affected. I also have to stay away from any products that have estrogen in them, so I didn’t think there was much I could do about my symptoms until I was approached by Kindra ✨ all their products are estrogen-free and my doctor gave me the thumbs up 👍 to try their core supplement, which I’ve been taking for a couple of weeks now.So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how much of a difference it’s made 🙏🏻 my mood swings have leveled off and I’m sleeping better, which all has me feeling like myself again✨This said, no two bodies are the same, so I appreciate that Kindra also provides resources to help women navigate this transition, like their menopause quiz. You may learn a few things from taking it and it will point you in the direction of solutions specifically tailored to what you’re going through 💛If you think Kindra might be right for you, you can get 20% with my code ISABELLE20#ourkindra

You’ll be a seeing lots more of this 5’x5’ rental kitchen makeover in the coming weeks ✨🖤✨ it’s loaded with small space ideas plus renter-friendly hacks, and I thought I would share a quick one today: before installing under-cabinet lights, put contact paper on the bottom of the cabinets. That way you can use the strong double sided tape (you know, the kind that’s impossible to take off?!) instead of screws ✨ the lights stay in place, but when it’s time to move out, the contact paper will make it very easy to take off the lights without leaving a trace 🤩 swipe 👉 to see my unorthodox light placement to fit 2 light strips under this narrow cabinet ✨

I don’t know about you, but some of the most important life (and DIY) lessons I’ve learned have come from pushing through uncomfortable and challenging situations. That little “umph” 💪 helped me make it to the other side, and to appreciate the challenge for what it is, an opportunity to grow and become a better, stronger version of myself ✨💛✨

Today, someone took the time to write this comment on a YT video I made 9 years ago: “.... so sorry go get a man who knows how to build you something worthwhile...” My response to him was a link to this video of a Murphy bed I built 2 years ago...for a man ✨💛✨

In case you missed it earlier, I recently shared that I partnered with @ourkindra to talk about my experience with menopause. I love that they are actively working to destigmatize the conversation around menopause - menopause isn’t inherently good or bad, it is simply something that naturally happens to women's bodies.The more open communication about menopause we can have, the better informed we can be about what type of changes to expect. For me, I expected hot flashes but I didn’t realize that the mood swings and trouble sleeping I've also been experiencing could also be menopause related. I hadn’t connected the dots and didn’t think there was anything I could do about it, until I was introduced to Kindra. They have a line of estrogen-free products that are specifically designed to deal with the most common symptoms of menopause.After speaking with my doctor, I chose to start with Kindra’s core supplement and I have to say, it feels so great to finally be doing something to feel like myself again. I’ll be sharing more about my experience soon, so stay tuned!Get 20% off by using my code ISABELLE20 - it’s good for any order or subscription ✨#ourkindra
