Oh, it’s beginning to look a LOT like Christmas. I wish it felt like December all winter long. Something about the holiday decorations that just puts a permanent smile on my face. The 60 degree weather we’ve been having is a huge bonus. It’s like the best of the holidays minus the freezing temperatures. I’m…
I am a huge fan of Sugarfina candies. It’s actually one of my most favorite gifts to give and receive. I love sending the bento boxes for birthdays and if someone sends me a box or two of the sugar lips candies I will love them forever. I’ve even done Sugarfina chocolate bars as my…
Potluck dinners always cause me stress because I never know what to bring! Louisa is here today with great suggestions. Definitely worth pinning for future reference!!! How to Be a Great Potluck Attendee Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou I’ve attended and hosted my fair share of potlucks; there’s nothing better than getting together…
Ah! This was such a fun week!! Many trips into the city, dinners every night with friends, and a few fun events. Including… an event for the launch of Lilly Pulitzer’s coffee table book. (It also comes in a few gorgeous special editions.) I love coffee table books, and this one is so incredibly well done. It’s packed…
When I put out a request for people to submit small businesses for a gift guide, I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away by how quickly the form filled up… and then going through everyone’s websites I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of items. I am so proud of everyone,…
How amazing is this 1983 Polo Ralph Lauren advertisement? I’ve been really obsessed with hunting down vintage Polo sweaters ever since I started looking for one for Garrett last year. I found him a mint condition skiing teddy bear. Well now I check on eBay for vintage sweaters every week or so. (When I say it’s…
Mike and I have been talking about going into the city for a staycation for a long time. Once we both got fully vaccinated and we were able to put things on the calendar again, we found a weekend to make the staycation happen. It is so nice to be so close– it makes for such…
Ah! I had a few rugby dresses back in the day and I’m so happy to see that they’re coming back. I had a Lacoste one that I wore all the time in high school. It’s fun to see trends come back around! This dress is from Nordstrom’s new 1901 line. It’s very J. Crew-esque with…
As I write this post, we have fully weaned and my boobs (hallelujah) feel a little bit more like “mine” again. It’s been a long, amazing, difficult fourteen months of breastfeeding though. Highs and lows. I loved and I hated breastfeeding. It was the best thing and the worst thing… all. at. once. Before I…

✨ 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
