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

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!
Definitely chocolate chip cookies!
chocolate!
french fries, sugar, chips and salsa, and apples & peanut butter (:
Completely agree. Macrons make my heart melt. As does a new shade of nail polish. 🙂
Vanilla Latte from Starbucks always does the trick.
im sorry but how is this post preppy? can we get some creativity here, please?
Those macaroons look exactly like the ones at Cafe Luxxe in Santa Monica! Best coffee in town.
What makes me cave…….dark chocolate and a great cup of coffee. I could sit under a blanket and melt into happiness with those!
Sweet potato fries, a margarita, brick oven pizza
These pictures are absolutely STUNNING :)!
chocolate or cosmetics make me cave in, lol 😀
SUGAR!
gummy candy (peach rings, Sour Path kids, Haribo or black forest bears), nail polish, chocolate, wine, ice cream.
The last picture of the candy is beautiful and so vibrant! Where did you find it?
Who makes that candy? it looks amazing!
Macarons (Vanilla), Nutella, Chic-fil-a, and Frozen Yogurt (preferably with Reeses Pieces!)

(I'm hosting my first giveaway this week!)
those macaroons look amazing…..i can never resist some retail therapy!
i have a serious sweet tooth… so that is always a good thing to persuade me with 🙂 xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
Those macaroons look delicious – can you believe I've never had one?? I think your picture may have just inspired me to go find some 🙂
i think food period could persuade me to just about anything! especially sweets! i could eat cake, ice cream, and candy all day long! and probably shoes!!!!! omg shoes, i would do anything for shoes.
I adore that first picture. I cave for a second vanilla latté, an extra hour in bed, and always always always ice cream.
P.S. Get lost, anonymous.
Always the anonymous ones being snarky…
Otherwise, those macarons look DELICIOUS. Can I just say I'm glad other people spell it correctly?
Cake!!
Where are those macrons from?
I cave in when presented with a Skinny Vanilla Latte. Second a delicious brunch out in downtown DC. <3
cosmetics. i lovee visiting the clinique counter.
Love the blog, Carly! I'm another preppy WASP in college (small liberal arts schol in New England) and you inspired my roommates and me to start our own blog! Thanks for the inspiration!
I definitely cave in when presented with chocolate chip cookie dough or a cute guy (: Great blog!
