Vicki Gunvalson is making her new Puerto Vallarta condo feel like home!

Last month, the Bravo alum revealed in an Instagram video post that she had officially moved south of the border to a condo she purchased in Mexico at the end of May. Over the weekend, Gunvalson gave fans some decorating updates on her new residence in the resort city.

Sharing a series of snaps on her Instagram story, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum, 58, showed a peek into how she's styling her dining and living room. She seems to be embracing her tropical location with a vibrant green and orange color scheme.

"First 4 pillows and orange rug delivered this week. More to come," she captioned a snap of her cozy new living room area, which features a large beige couch decorated with orange and green floral pillows.

Opposite the couch sits a "new lime green custom swivel conversation chair" and a marble coffee table.

Next to her living room nook is where Gunvalson placed her dining room table, which was coordinated with green and orange plush chairs. Unfortunately, her "marble table broke in transit" she explained to her fans, as she waits for a replacement.

Gunvalson also shared a snap of her den area, which she outfitted in a similar color scheme with deep orange couches and a floral rug. "Den is coming together nicely too," she captioned the post.

When she first moved in, the reality star told fans that she would be donating the home's existing furniture and bedding to "an orphanage" and hiring a decorator to redesign the space.

The Chicago native has called her move to Mexico one of the "best decisions" of her life.

"I took a leap of faith, I ended up closing on a condo last month and I got here last night," she explained to fans in a video in July, filming herself in front of a view of the ocean from the condo's balcony. "And I thought, you know what? This was what was meant to be."

Since moving, she has also put her longtime California home in Coto de Caza on the market. Gunvalson listed the five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom house for $3.35 million, per the Los Angeles Times.

Sudan war deaths are likely much higher than recorded, researchers say
More than 61,000 people are estimated to have died in Khartoum state during the first 14 months of Sudan's war, with evidence suggesting the toll from the devastating conflict is significantly higher than previously recorded, according to a new report by researchers in Britain and Sudan. The estimate includes some 26,000 people who suffered violent deaths, a higher figure than one currently used by the United Nations for the entire country. The preprint study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's Sudan Research Group, released on Wednesday before peer review, suggested that starvation and disease are increasingly becoming the leading causes of death reported across Sudan.
