I’ve been finding myself feeling in the mood to wear makeup again. I went through a fairly long phase where I simply wasn’t wearing much (only my eyebrow gel and maybe a swipe of mascara) as a result of the lockdown. I was only putting it on when I needed to shoot photos, really, but…
What even day is it? I’m in a holiday fog right now. Or maybe it’s just “end of year fog”? Unsure, but whatever the case, I can’t believe it’s December. And December 10th at that! Time is flying and I’m trying to keep up. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE //…
It’s been a while since I last did a roundup of dresses, and with all the added special occasions and festive events this month, I feel like now is the perfect time to share some cute dresses under $150. I also tried to pick dresses that you can still wear into winter. As someone who…
One of my favorite parts of writing my book was getting to interview some entrepreneurs that I really admire. It was a pretty tight turnaround and I’m so grateful to this group of entrepreneurs who were up for the interview! The book is set up into two sections: one about all the nitty gritty things…
This was a pretty fun week all things considered. I think I’m beginning to feel like we’re in a good everyday life routine here. Not that everyday is a walk in the park, but all of us know what to expect for the most part and that makes a huge difference. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Seeing…
While I’m not that proud of how much (er, how little) I read in November, I do have a bit of a “unique” reading win: I started and stopped reading a few books that weren’t holding my interest. I’m notorious for trudging along and finishing a book no matter what, even if I know I…
I’m making an effort to double-check my Christmas list and wrap up my shopping this week. So I put together a list of some fun gift ideas under $20 that would be perfect little gifts for friends and co-workers or as stocking stuffers. I LOVE a good stocking stuffer. As a kid, diving into our stockings was…
I’m a little behind on these diary posts, so let’s catch up! Here are some highlights according to my iPhone’s camera roll over the past few weeks. So many afternoon walks! I usually like to look up the weather first thing in the morning and figure out what will be the driest and warmest (and…
It was a nice and quiet week at home. We got our Christmas tree all set up and as many decorations as I had the energy for. I must admit that I was being a big ole grinch about it, but had to get it set up early this week for an upcoming campaign. I’m…
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_us!
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 created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
