I love my non aesthetic, messy girly Apartment.

My apartment is LIVED IN. And I love it. I’m not that aesthetic girly who needs her flat to look like a magazine ad 24/7. My apartment is a direct reflection of how busy and robust my life really is. I have 4 pieces of luggage that haven’t been fully unpacked spread across my living room. A pile of clean laundry that will never make it to my closet. Wigs sprawled over my counter chairs. A Christmas tree that hasn’t been taken down. A big comfy couch that houses jewelry, a handbag or two, half read books, and an occasional lip combo. My home is MINE. My rent is paid ON TIME. And I’m not here to influence you to have a messy apartment but to remind you that your safe space is perfect if you feel the most comfortable and alive in it regardless of its tidiness or lack there of. 🩷 #messyhome #unfiltered #Lemon8Diary #blackgirlslemon8 #roomtour

... Read moreHaving a lived-in apartment that isn’t perfectly styled can be incredibly freeing. I’ve found that allowing myself the grace to live fully without constantly worrying about appearances makes my space so much more comforting. Like the scattered luggage waiting to be unpacked, or a pile of laundry that never quite makes it into the closet—these little chaos moments tell the story of a life well lived and priorities beyond superficial aesthetics. For me, the messiness isn’t about neglect; it’s about embracing the real rhythms of my daily life. I love having my wigs casually displayed on chairs, a Christmas tree lingering beyond holiday seasons, and my big comfy couch doubling as a catch-all for books, handbags, and lip products. It makes the space feel personal, authentic, and inviting. What truly matters is that the apartment reflects who you are and supports your wellbeing. For those of us balancing busy schedules and multiple roles, a neat, styled apartment can sometimes feel more like a chore than a haven. But when your apartment is a reflection of your colorful, complex life—complete with its quirks and imperfections—it becomes a sanctuary where you can truly relax. I also appreciate the reminder that paying rent on time and having a functional home environment are major wins that often go overlooked when aesthetic perfection takes center stage. This perspective shift helped me focus on what really cultivates peace and joy—comfort, functionality, and authenticity. In a world that bombards us with picture-perfect home tours and magazine-worthy décor, it’s refreshing to celebrate the beauty in our lived-in, unfiltered homes. If you feel alive and comfortable in your space, regardless of tidiness, that is what truly makes a place home. Every item, even if out of place, has a purpose or memory that contributes to your unique story. So, don’t stress the mess—embrace it as part of your beautiful, fearless home vibe.

Well it sure is messy….. almost like hoarding. This doesn’t give cozy vibes if I was a guest.
