I can’t believe it’s almost May. I don’t think I’ll be spending Mother’s Day with Meesh this year sadly. But… I think I’m going to be making those French toast sticks for myself 😂 YUM! 6 Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou With Mother’s Day around the corner, I’ve been…
This is not the most groundbreaking outfit that ever was. But I have to say, it’s one of my favorites. It’s so simple and cozy, which is often what I crave with my outfits. This is something I can wear working from home and traveling! I bought this particular cardigan years ago. It’s Lilly Pulitzer…
I am heading into a rather busy season of traveling. I don’t travel nearly as much as some of my friends (honestly have no idea where they get the energy!!), but I do find myself on a plane quite a bit. I used to be all for checking bags. I’d check no matter what, even…
Today I’m flying up to Boston for Nicole’s bridal shower. Crazy that just a year ago we were celebrating her engagement.. and her wedding is at the end of the summer. It’s been nice for me to get to connect with some of her friends (and in some cases my friends from first/second grade!) before…
Whenever I have to describe my blog to a brand or an agency, I always say that it’s a life and style blog and that I cover anything and everything that I’d share with a friend. Whenever I’m typing, I actually feel like I’m having a conversation. (Which is why I so appreciate comments!) I’ve…
This is such a sweet little wrap dress. I have always been a fan of wrap dresses, particularly for my figure. With a larger chest, I love that I can adjust the dress to fit my body without having to run to a tailor. The length is perfect and makes this dress appropriate for all kinds…
Spring shoes are great, but can be tough with temperature swings. My winter shoes (like booties) might work for the weather, but the outfit style might look too wintry. I would actually say that my shoe choice for the day is what dictates the rest of my outfit. Is it warm enough for open toes?…
THIS. THIS. THIS. Maxie and I were just texting each other about plans and what to do when plans go wrong or don’t happen on our timeline. We also both took an enneagram test and (no surprise) were the exact same type and wing. We’re different in some ways, but I think we really understand each…
Back today with another installment of this Diary series. I’ve really enjoyed doing them every two weeks! Here’s the last segment. Some of my favorite iPhone pics over the past two weeks: Maddie and I knew that it was going to be in the 70s one day so we made plans to find a coffee…

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)
