Yesterday was the first glimpse of spring! It was a little windy, but the temperature was definitely in the “warm” category! I was planning on writing my next blog on the cutest croakie that one of my best friends gave me for graduation. Of course, it’s monogrammed. For practice, I normally have my hands…
I was going to post this earlier, but I haven’t had time!!! Tucker Blair is having a St. Patrick’s Day sale! I posted about them earlier and love love love the headbands! Type in stpatty for 25% off! -College Prepster
I know, I know.. I’ve been gone for so long! I’ve really tried to keep up with everyone else’s blogs though. I cannot begin to tell you how crazy this past week has been. Spring training is an intense week of eating, sleeping, team bonding, and, of course, rowing. I won’t go into all of…
I’m been a bit out of the blogging loop. I’ve been so busy! I last posted on Thursday. I was exhausted Thursday night and didn’t have the energy to study for my spanish quiz, but that meant I had to wake up extra early to study before class. It was a bit more difficult than…
I just love love love Lilly Pulitzer bathing suits… I’m typing this as I eat Girl Scout cookies… Hmmm… Anyways.. First, let me say how I am not a fan of the beach. I have very pale skin and the sun is not my friend. My family always ends up going to the beach for vacations…
Handle With Care comes out today!!! Go get it!!! I’m getting it on Friday… AFTER my accounting midterm. I am so excited. I love reading Jodi Picoult’s novels. She is an amazing author. She went to Princeton University, so clearly she’s one smart cookie. Now that I’m on the topic of writers: Ciaran Carson came and…
Last night rumors around the dorms were circulating about school cancellations. I was honestly hoping that we still had class because I really wanted to get my ethics midterm out of the way. I can’t have it hanging over my head anymore! My roommate and I woke up to our Blackberry’s buzzing about classes being…
So today is my half birthday, which normally I don’t think is a big deal… except when I realized that it was literally my last 6 months as a teenager. I will have been alive for two decades… TWO DECADES??? WHAT?!? This is crazy! Twenty just seems so old! Plus, I was technically born in…
So this is going to just be a quick little post! Practice this morning was AMAZING! I was feeling a little uneasy about crew and the time commitment, but I have re-fallen in love with it 🙂 I think I was just sick of boring erg practices. I thought it might be a smidge rainy, but…
#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
