WeddingTok and the One-Day Aesthetic: Beautiful for a Day, Boring for a Lifetime
You styled your wedding down to the last napkin—but what about your Tuesday night dinner at home?In this episode of Home and Hosting, Loui dives into the world of WeddingTok and asks the big question: why do we allow ourselves to live beautifully for one day… but not every day? From the aesthetics of ambient lighting to the deeper psychology behind performance and presence, this is a conversation about taste, permission, and how we’re all secretly craving more beauty in our daily lives.Plus, we talk about divorce stats (yep), the quiet shame around loving nice things, and why your matcha spoon deserves as much attention as your bridal bouquet.If you’ve ever felt like daily life doesn’t get the Pinterest treatment it deserves, this one’s for you.

Still Haven’t Found Your "Personal Style?" — No wonder! The empty bedroom says it all
We need to talk about the way we’re chasing personal style right now—especially online. Everyone’s hunting for the next hot fashion item, the right silhouette, the “clean girl” formula... but maybe the reason you haven’t found your style yet isn’t your wardrobe. Maybe it’s your home.In this episode, I’m breaking down why your interiors say more about your style than your outfits do—and why your bedroom, your kitchen, your everything is a reflection of how you care for yourself, not just how you present yourself. I talk about my own upbringing surrounded by hospitality and atmosphere, how lifestyle content has become a coping mechanism, and why the secret to taste isn't in the trends—it’s in the space you build around you.Plus: we get into the trap of $99 colourful dopamine décor, why “chuck it on a tray” isn’t interior design, and how to actually start curating your style—through your space.
