I’ve been working on this playlist for a while and it’s one of my favorite ones. It’s a weird, weird mix as always. I don’t know that it’s exactly an “autumn specific” playlist, but I know when I hear it in the future I’ll always think of this specific fall.
Just wanted to share a few recent purchases… WINDOWPANE RUFFLED BLOUSE I know I’m going to be spending a lot of the fall in jeans and cozy outfits. I thought this blouse was a good balance of cute and comfy…. ANKLE SOCKS This is not very exciting… but I needed new socks. I HATE socks…
This week was a blur. On Monday, I thought it was Thursday all day and now that it’s Friday I feel like I blinked and have no idea what I did for the past four days. Really, nothing too exciting. The fourth quarter is always the craziest part of the year as a blogger and…
This top from Tuckernuck remains one of my favorite silhouettes. I absolutely LOVE it and have purchased it in quite a few colors and prints for multiple seasons. (Maybe you’re sick of seeing it?!) It just works. I pretty much exclusively wear it with skinny jeans (white, blue, and black) because of how loose and…
Our family room is hands down our most used room in the house. We spend SO much time in here. It’s connected to our kitchen, which is also where you can find Mike and me a lot during the day, and our television is also in here so that’s a big draw for us 😉…
Back again today with more outfits! I was able to capture every day except for Sunday. I got pretty into a sewing project and it took a lot longer than I expected. Totally didn’t take a picture of my outfit and I’m not sure it was even worthy of making the blog post… just a…
I had a beautiful feeling the other day and it was how much I felt at home. It isn’t necessarily about our house, though I love it dearly and am so grateful for it, but I just felt rooted. Or something. For a homebody who loves (even needs) routine, I haven’t felt very rooted since I…
I couldn’t have started my CBD journey at a better time! Right at the beginning of the year, I decided to give CBD oil a try after hearing my friends r a v e about it. It has become a topic my friend group and I discuss a lot, really, and I’d say almost every…
I just love these little diary posts honestly. It’s a good practice for myself, even if I wasn’t going to share on my blog, because I go through my camera roll and remember the highlights over the past two weeks. Life is crazy right now for a thousand reasons, so feels like a good reminder…
Holiday magic is in full swing at our house, and this year we’ve added a new tradition: listening to classic holiday audiobooks together! 🎄✨ From How the Grinch Stole Christmas! to A Christmas Carol, @audible has been a lifesaver, turning everyday moments like car rides and baking cookies into cozy family memories. 🥰 Bonus: new customers can get Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 for 3 months (and a $20 credit if you sign up by 12/2)! 🎄 #AudiblePartner #audible #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Matching aprons from @weezietowels!
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you. From mugs to framed prints to calendars filled with favorite memories, it’s the little things that make gifts unforgettable. 🎁 Use code CARLY40 now through 12/18/24 for 40% off + free shipping on orders $40+!* Make something that means something this holiday season! #shutterflypartner
#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
