Happy Friday! We’re cruising along through the first month of Q4. During my working days I am feeling the time crunch of trying to get everything done in a finite amount of childcare hours, but I will say (at least so far, lol) I’m not nearly as overwhelmed as I usually am. I have a good…
With the cooler weather rolling in, I’ve been pulling out my favorite fall bags. There’s just something about a great bag that can pull together any outfit, so I wanted to round up the best bags for fall and winter. From roomy totes, to chic bucket bags, and versatile crossbodies, there’s one for nearly every occasion. Mahogany…
The leopard trend is back full-force this fall! It’s something I’ve dipped my toe into over the years but never fully leaned into. Similar to bows, I think leopard is a print that’s easy to get wrong but so good when it’s right. I’ve typically stuck to leopard accessories in the past, but I’m considering…
I was on a rollercoaster of emotions between last week and now. With the hurricane in Florida, I was a bit of a wreck worrying about my family. They’re safe and working on the clean up already and I just got word that their power was restored! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had such a nice family…
I know, I know, I know. I’m so late to this! I can’t really explain it but I felt called to get some sourdough starter The idea of sourdough and sourdough starter felt so intimidating that I was afraid to even start for months (and months). A friend encouraged me though and I finally decided to…
Whew, we had a week. The hurricane down in Florida really took most of my energy. Thankfully my family is safe– it was a relief. I’m definitely looking forward the long weekend ahead. Will be hitting up the playground, maybe doing some baking, and squeezing in some fall activities if possible too. We’re taking family…
The weather has been perfect the last couple of weeks and I am trying to soak up as much time outside as possible! Playing pickleball is such a great fall activity to get outdoors and a fun way to stay active while catching up with friends. I came across some very cute fall pickleball outfits that…
I get it. We haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet… Why are we talking about the holidays?! The thing is, the best kids holiday pajamas tend to launch AND sell out early. A handful of these have matching options for everyone in the family, if you usually do coordinating pajamas. Best Kids Holiday Pajamas 2024…
We hit the ground running this weekend with all the fall fun. Our town’s new playground opened up on Friday so we blew off bath and bedtime and stayed out extra late. Then we had soccer practice in the morning of Saturday and our town’s big fall festival in the afternoon. It was sunny and…
#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
