I didn’t spend a lot of time on my computer this week as I’ve been at my parents’ house celebrating Thanksgiving. It’s been nothing short of wonderful. I’m actually flying back to NYC today and my mom and sister are coming up for a girls’ trip the following weekend… can’t wait!
I have to share this video though. So. Funny. So many things are spot on…. especially the WiFi password part. (It took so long to get my laptop, iPhone, and iPad all hooked up because the code was so difficult to type. And my mom has bowls of M&Ms everywhere.)
Amazon // Great deals! Honestly, you could literally skip all those crazy big-box store lines and just do all your shopping online with Amazon. (If you’re getting new electronics, like a camera, this is the BEST place and time to do it!)
Tory Burch // 20% off $300, 25% off $500, 30% off $750
Code: Lucky
There are few exclusions, but these boots are already marked down and then take an additional 20% off! Crazy!

Nordstrom // The Nordstrom sale is all over the place, but still great. Definitely worth spending the time going through each section (Women, Men, Handbags, Beauty) to make sure you’re not missing one of your favorite brands on sale… you know, for gifts (or yourself, I won’t judge).

Ah! Everything, including the bag-of-the-season, is 25% off. Perfect time to get all your big ticket items and stocking stuffers and gifts for friends!

TUCKERNUCK // 15% off site wide with SHOP15, 20% off $150 with SHOP20, 25% off $500 with SHOP25, 30% + free gift on $1000+ orders with SHOP30 (If you need to get a bunch of nice gifts that aren’t too expensive for your besties, this bracelet would be the BEST idea!)
Yes, I love Thanksgiving Day and the day after the sales on Friday. I do not like to stand in line, so everything I buy online. It is so very convenient. Today, in the era of the Internet, students can even be ordered online writing services. For example here omnipapers.com It's just perfect! :))
Those TB boots are def. on my wish lift this year! Hopefully they don't turn into a New Year's Resolution! Best thing about today is working in an office in a mall… #perfection!
OH MY GOD THAT SNL SKIT… I had no clue how hilarious & spot on it is until I watched it on Saturday!!!!! I was cracking up…it is seriously so true! Glad you got to spent time with your family! Hopefully one day you are in Tampa again I can meet you! 🙂 xo, Amanda affordablebyamanda.blogspot.com
It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you. From mugs to framed prints to calendars filled with favorite memories, it’s the little things that make gifts unforgettable. 🎁 Use code CARLY40 now through 12/18/24 for 40% off + free shipping on orders $40+!* Make something that means something this holiday season! #shutterflypartner
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I saw this episode of SNL and thought that video was hilarious!
