If you follow me on Instagram stories, you already know some of this story, but I’m going to explain all of my thoughts on eyelash extensions further. Some backstory: Two or three years ago, I got eyelash extensions for the first time. I was very nervous to get them, but the place I went to…
I got the new iPhone and there is something funny going on with the camera. I’ve read all about it and apparently, they did something to “reduce noise” so that photos and videos will look better with low light. Well, it looks like there’s a built-in filter. It’s frustrating because there are SO many ways people…
My camera roll is brimming with photos I’ve snapped from my trips to Nantucket. I have a bunch of outfit posts and a travel guide coming up, but for now… iPhone photos! As much as I love being back in my routine (and trust me, I really love it), I am missing my happy place. I think…
Welcome to another On My Radar. This past week has been one of my favorites, ever. My trip to Paris was incredible and I can’t wait to share more of it with you guys in the next week. In the meantime, you can check out my Instagram for some of the posts + I saved all…
I’m going to be doing a detailed itinerary of what we did in Paris, but first I thought I’d round up the outfits I packed. Not going to lie here… I did an excellent job of packing the right things. Packing is one of the stressors I have when it comes to traveling. (And it…
I’m going to do a separate post for Black Friday. Although, don’t you feel like all the sales have kind of already started? It’s now called “Cyber Week,” apparently. Crazy! I will say though that I think this year the sales are better than ever, but I didn’t want to skip over my “On My…
I’ve been writing this post in my head, as I do for most of my long-form posts, for the better part of the year. Of course, now that I’m sitting down to actually write it, my mind is drawing a blank. In a way, I think it’s because I know there’s no way any post…
This has been a CRAZY week. All great things and I literally can’t wait to share more with you guys!!! Part of me is holding back because things aren’t quite finalized and I don’t want to jinx anything…. so please cross your fingers and send all the good vibes. 🤞🏻 If I’m being totally honest,…
I’m actually trying my best to limit my Amazon purchases. It’s too easy to click “buy now” if you know what I mean. Sometimes it feels like you’re not actually even buying something because the process is so instantaneous. I think it could lead to bad habits! With that said, sometimes you just have to go…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
