Fall wedding season is approaching, and choosing the right dress for the occasion can be challenging! I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite styles to help you look and feel your best. Fall is the perfect time to embrace rich, jewel-toned hues. Think emerald greens, deep sapphires, and rich burgundies. This merlot jacquard dress, for instance, is…
If there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s that Nancy Meyers is iconic. She’s behind so many of my comfort movies– The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, Something’s Gotta Give… I love the plots, but what I REALLY love are the set designs. It might just be the TikTok algorithm, but I’ve noticed…
Last week was an absolute blur. We’re at the point of the summer where I’m losing track of time and days. I was talking with my friends and we all agreed that this has been the longest August on record! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Biggest win was truly just how productive I was. I haven’t gotten…
Listening to audiobooks has revolutionized how I consume books… and I’m not the only one! More and more people are turning to audiobooks, which has led to a fantastic boom in the industry. Publishers are taking note and have been investing in creating better and more entertaining audiobooks, which makes the whole listening experience that…
After I wrote yesterday’s blog post, I was inspired to start looking for fun fall fashion finds for toddler and baby boys. Rory and Jack are almost exactly 2.5 years apart so they’re different sizes in different seasons. I realized I’m going to have to get him some warmer weather items and Jack is growing…
What a nice week here in NJ! We kicked things off celebrating Jack’s third birthday and it was everything and then some. Toddlerhood is a full contact sport but oh my gosh is it fun and Rory is a classic second child right now just trying to keep up. Here’s what has been on my…
I love browsing J.Crew whenever they add new arrivals and they just dropped a pre-fall collection earlier this week with a mix of transitional pieces and fall staples. It’s making me very excited for cooler weather and I wanted to round up a few of my favorite finds. Merino Crewneck // Cotton Poplin Shirtdress //…
I’m a denim girl through and through. My time is usually spent either parenting or working from home, so once the weather cools down, it just makes sense. I’ve tried a lot of jeans through the years and have a pretty good idea of what works for me: high waisted with only a little bit…
I feel like we lived through a full month in the last seven days!! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We really had so many “wins” last week. I would be remiss to not mention that a major win was our house and garage surviving the craziest storm with minimal damage. Then my girlfriends and I had 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
