Kerry is such a sweetheart and recently looked out for me 🙂
Check out her blog (and her completely accurate new post)

I feel like pictures taken with boyfriends reveal the best smiles 🙂
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
Moisture rich balm + Ritual Oil + Balancing Mist
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)
My 2025 Ins & Outs:
IN
More freedom, firmer boundaries
Silver
Red as a neutral
Spontaneous lunch dates
Photography
Redefining perfection
Silk scarves
Going to the movies
Trying new hobbies
Luxurious showers
OUT
Sticking with a book I’m not enjoying
Letting my car be a mess
Guilt around sweet treats
Unnecessary people pleasing
The comparison game
Staying up too late
Over complicating things
Holding in emotions
Yes, I’m an iPad adult now ✌🏻 I have been feeling all over the place with how I stay organized. In a dream world, I’d have a good ole fashioned paper planner, but I need something digital that I can access wherever I am and set alarms and reminders and appointments in my digital calendar. Kicking the new year off with a fresh iPad in the hopes that it helps?? Kind of felt like back to school shopping with fresh school supplies (but more expensive lol)… here’s to an organized twenty twenty five!! 🥂
PS I am trying out @goodmondayspaper on @goodnotes.app and went with an 11” iPad Air!
I completley agree that photos taken with boyfriends reveal the truest and brightest smiles 🙂
you look beyond gorg in the middle picture. you look gorg in all three but the middle one is fab. you should do your makeup like that everyday. love it!
haha boyfriend photos are definitely great, but i love oens with my single girlies as well…some of my most joyful times! your eye makeup looks beautiful in that second one!

Hi College Prep!
I'm a former rower, a former college prep, and now a preppy lawer. I just started blogging and we seem to follow similar blogs.
Check out my new blog "Once a Model, Now a Waddle". It's a preppy lifestyle blog that also covers my weight loss journey and talks about how i was once a model, and then one hundred pounds heavier, i became a self proclaimed waddler. Join me on my journey back to looking fab.

hi carly! so true about the smiles. you're glowing in all the pics and your makeup looks fab in the middle one!
is it just me or does the link to "ode to nice girls" redirecting to a different random website with every click and not to Preppy Perfection?
