J. Crew just launched a new line of sneakers and omg they are cute. I actually bought them and before the pair I bought arrived, J. Crew had sent me a pair as a surprise. Made my whole day! I live in white sneakers all summer long so I was excited to try this new pair. (My Supergas…
This is not going to be an entirely comprehensive post of money management tips. Of course, with just about anything, there is always more to learn and know. I did want to share my thoughts on personal finances though after writing the post about loving my car. I also have to put the disclaimer out…
Quitting has a bad rap. Most of the time, I agree. It can mean giving up, and giving up for the wrong reasons is not the best way to move forward. Quitting the rowing team in college was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. I knew I needed to quit and that it…
Somehow we’re a week out from Mother’s Day and I’m clearly behind. (In my defense, April seemed to fly by, right? I’m in disbelief that it’s already May!) Rounding up a few things that I think would make perfect Mother’s Day gifts: Slip Silk Eye Mask // White Tea Vanilla Orchid Perfume // Ceramic Canister …
Bonjour ! Back with another Diary post today. One fun thing I’ve noticed about doing this every two weeks is that it makes me reflect on how much fun stuff happens. I, like everyone else, gets caught up in the mundane aspects of life. But going back and collecting positive moments from the past two…
This week didn’t go as planned. We were supposed to be moving, but things have been delayed (wah!) and we’re now on hold. I’m so excited that being patient is proving difficult. The silver lining is that I hadn’t planned a single thing for this entire week so I’ve had so much more “free” time…
I know I keep saying it, but oh am I loving pink lately. Especially as it’s warming up, I am just loving the happy hue. And Hoboken right now has been very pink too. The pups and I go on a walk every afternoon. We do the same loop and I think the three of us…
How happy am I to be incorporating more of my summer wardrobe into my life? VERY. I’m most excited about shoes and going with bare ankles and open toes. These little gingham heels were a gift from the Draper James team. They partnered with M. Gemi and I am totally obsessed. I’ve eyed M. Gemi…
I’ve been SO excited to share my April reading list. I almost posted it early because I just couldn’t wait. But before I get into what I read (and what I highly recommend), I have to confess that I am just loving reading right now. I made a commitment to myself to read 52 books this…

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

✨ 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)
