What’s In My Bag x 5

I love “what’s in my bag” posts. Maybe not the best thing to admit, but I’m a little bit nosy about it. For this, I thought I thought it’d be fun to see how I pack for various events. As you can see, there are a lot of repeats. I strongly dislike repacking and packing purses…

Cutting Back on Caffeine and Sugar

Bah! Guys! I’m cutting back on caffeine and sugar, and it is hard. I decided to do this a couple of months ago, and I’ve been okay with it. Some days are better than others for sure. I decided to cut out caffeine and sugar because I was having too much of both. I would say…

First Day Outfit

Even though I’ve always loved summers, I would get a little antsy for school to start back up. As the days started to grow shorter again, we’d have a few telltale signs that classes were right around the corner. There was the scramble to read those summer reading books that collected dust for two months. The mile-long school supply list and the little postcard with our class schedule that showed up in the mail. Both followed by a four-hour trip to gather said supplies and a frantic call to best friends to ensure that we had the same lunch period!

And my favorite part? The careful selection (and re-selection) of the perfect FDO aka First Day Outfit.

6 Ways to Untether from Devices

Ugh! This is at the very top of my mind lately. Having a smartphone can be a blessing and a curse. I recently went through an iPhone-related-crisis right around the same time that Maxie was too. We both were talking to each other about it and trying to find a good solution. Her tips today are…

Rainy Day Outfit

While I love sunny days, I can’t resist a foggy one on Nantucket. It was pretty rainy all day, so we loaded up into our rented Mini Cooper and went on a driving tour of the island. We went from one end to the other and turned down roads as we wished.

As luck would have it, the rain turned to a drizzle as we neared ‘Sconset, so we hopped out to take some photos by Sankaty Light. I think it’s my favorite lighthouse– it’s definitely the most picturesque!

Silk Scarves

Over the past couple of years, I have grown a little obsessed with silk scarves. For being just simple squares of silk, they are so versatile. My favorite use for them is to tie them around my handbags. I tend to swap them out every few months depending on the season and occasionally switch one…

On My Radar

I don’t have a ton to report to you this week. It was mostly boring days sitting in front of my computer, working, and getting organized for the kick off of the “busy” season for blogging. A couple of highlights though: – My workout classes have been going SO well. I felt like I was improving…

My Favorites in the Kitchen

Now that I’m back in my routine, I am back in the kitchen more and more. I paused my Hello Fresh account and amped up my grocery shopping because I’m trying to eat a lot healthier. I’m still splurging on ice cream and the occasional sweet, of course, but I want my everyday meals to…
