I’m not shopping right now, but it’s not stopping me from browsing. This is such a hard season to shop for anyway because of how cold it is. I don’t know about you, but finding inspiring outfits when it’s 20 degrees outside is a challenge. As far as I’m concerned, warmth comes first and style comes…
This was the first “real” week of 2019 and if it’s any indication of how the rest of the year is going to go, I’m feeling pretty good. I started BBG back up again and spent the better part of the week hobbling around from soreness. I got back into the groove shooting content (on my…
I’m so curious if people have housekeepers or not. I feel like most of my friends do in some capacity, but I wasn’t sure if that’s the norm everywhere. I have nothing against someone using a service to help with cleaning, but I’m on the fence for it personally. We had a cleaning service come…
I want to start doing more of these kinds of posts every so often. Always reminds me of the good old days of blogging 😉 We taught our friends how to play Catan on New Year’s Eve and we already went back to their condo to play again this weekend. I think they’re hooked. It’s such…
I’ve skimmed Marie Kondo’s famous The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and I’m sure you’ve at least heard of it as well. The practice called the KonMari Method is (very, very basically) about methodically going through belongings and cutting back on anything that doesn’t “spark joy.” I love the idea and I’m constantly trying to pare…
One of my resolutions for the year is to cook more, specifically handling dinner one night per week. (Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but is for me ha.) Louisa’s post is coming at a perfect time for me and I have a feeling it might be a great time for you too. Also SUPER excited…
I was debating on posting these or not? I know Christmas was now a few weeks ago, but I didn’t want to skip a little iPhone photo recap of my trip down to Tampa for the holidays. As always, I love spending time with my family and this time was no exception. I felt very…
I wanted to expand a little on one of my goals for the year. I said I wanted to go green and mentioned that one of the big sources of waste for me was disposable coffee cups. I do want to go on record to say that I’m not going to judge someone if they…
I love that New Year’s Day fell on a Tuesday this year. It made this week go by much more smoothly since it was so short as a result… and I was incredibly productive, which always feels good. I had a running list of things that I had to do this week and I made…

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)
