I almost forgot how much of a difference an extra hour of sunlight in the evening makes! Having daylight savings back, has been so nice this week. Somehow my work day feels shorter and I love getting to squeeze in an evening family walk after dinner before the sun sets. We’re supposed to have some…
Another Easter post! After posting about Easter dresses and the best Easter baskets, now we’re diving into children’s Easter outfits. (How many times can I say the word “Easter” in a sentence?!) Although I love a theme, I don’t typically lean into the holidays too literally. Some of these picks are more on the nose,…
Another week, another batch of outfits I wore. I am so glad I’m doing these posts again because it’s pushing me to put on regular clothes every day 😉 I definitely feel better when I like what I’m wearing! LAST WEEK’S WIN: The biggest win is just realizing that we’re doing the whole “two kid”…
I was graciously invited to stay at Boram, a Korean-inspired postnatal retreat in NYC located in the Thompson Hotel in NYC. I was asked to share a Reel and stories on Instagram in exchange for my stay, but I had so many DMs about how it was from followers that I wanted to write a…
There’s nothing quite like having a newborn to make time absolutely FLY by. It’s kind of funny how slow time felt towards the end of my pregnancy– January felt like a whole year! And now I’m trying to dig my heels in the sand to make time slow down…. 😭 My needlepoint for beginners tips!…
I’m continuing with the Easter theme on the blog this week and rounding up some of the best Easter dresses for women in 2024. There’s just something about Easter that calls for floral prints and pastel hues, don’t you think? I came across some adorable pastel dresses while browsing online, which immediately excited me for…
Believe it or not, Easter is right around the corner! Instead of being in April this year, it’s happening on March 31, which is just crazy to think about. I wanted to round up the best Easter baskets today so you have plenty of time before the monogramming deadlines pass– top of mind for me…
Back with another week of outfits, postpartum edition. I will say, I’m feeling a bit more normal. Still can’t fit into most of my clothing (and I doubt I’ll fit into most of my shoes ever again 💔) so I’m working with a limited selection of clothing for the time being. And, I really having a…
Not the greatest month of reading for me, but it was a short month (😉) and I had a baby smack dab in the middle so I think I have a good excuse for not reading quite as much. Nevertheless, some good recommendations coming your way. THE ENCHANTED HOUR by Meghan Cox Gurdon 4.5/5 STARS The…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ 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)
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.usa
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
