Last year, Chase invited me to attend the US Open with them, and I was so fortunate (and excited) to get invited again this year. It’s such a fun sporting event, and this is coming from a non-sporting event kind of girl. There’s something really nice about watching tennis and, at the US Open, plenty…
Burnout is the worst. I’ve hit breaking points before and it’s never pretty. I do believe in working hard and getting things done, but it should never be at the expense of your sanity! (I learned this the hard way, so trust me on it.) Want to avoid the burnout? Stop it before it happens. Maxie…
I know we have three more weeks of official summer, but Labor Day always feels like the true season finale. With this cold weather that we’ve been having, it feels much less like summer and more like fall. (I am at the beach right now, but thankfully stopped at a store to pick up leggings, socks,…
Happy weekend! Hope everyone has fun weekend plans for Labor Day. I’m down the shore for some beach time. (Although, I don’t think the weather is going to cooperate.) Looking forward to winding down after a hectic couple of weeks. With so many great sales happening, you’re bound to get AMAZING deals. Rounding up some…
I say this every birthday, but I honestly just think life gets a little sweeter with every passing year. Even with a few bumps in the road last year, it was an overall win. So many incredible memories and opportunities. I’m thankful for every single one. My goal for every birthday is to make the…
I spent the weekend celebrating my grandma’s ninetieth birthday in Tampa with almost the entire family. It was fun to catch up with one of my cousins whom I haven’t seen in years and to see my grandma surrounded by her children and friends. (My grandma definitely has more friends than I do, by the way;…
My obsession with thredUP has continued throughout the summer. I’d say it’s a borderline problem right now, but I don’t consider it a bad thing. thredUP is the largest online consignment store where you can find your favorite brands like J.Crew, Lilly Pulitzer, and Kate Spade for up to 90% off retail. Every week or so I pop on to search for my favorite brands to see if I spot something that I love. It’s so much fun because every week there are more items to look through– they add 15,000 new items a day!
Remember when I made it a resolution to “stand up straighter”? Well, I failed miserably at it for more than a year. I gave up at some point during 2016 and figured I’d always be a sloucher. In March, after hurting my neck/shoulder/back while sleeping, my quest for better posture was reinvigorated. I implemented a…
Good morning friends! Are you guys ready for the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale?! It starts this morning around 8am-ish. I wanted to pop onto the blog this morning for some last minute tips, and I’ll update this post after the sale goes live too.
This is hands down the best Lilly sale of the year. In fact, they only put their clothes on sale twice a year, so it’s the best way to get discounted prices. The sale can (will?) be insane, as it is every year. Like, insane insane.
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
