My friend Grace just did this post last week and I loved reading her responses. I am going to steal her post idea! After reading her post, I was sitting there really trying to dream up what I was looking forward to the most “after.” I’ve been trying to just take things one day at…
I’ve been trying to think of things to do on the weekends that make them feel a little different than the regular Monday-Friday routine we’re in. I am not trying to necessarily do the same thing every weekend. But just want something fun each weekend to make it feel a little more weekend-y. (Can you…
I think this may have been one of the hardest weeks personally for me during the pandemic. I really hit “the wall” on multiple fronts. This weekend I felt so overwhelmed, I made an appointment to restart therapy. Even just putting it on my calendar gave me a sense of relief. I was worried about…
Cashmere is my ultimate clothing weakness. Once I was able to start affording cashmere pieces here and there in my 20s, there was no going back. I’d rather have a few great cashmere sweaters than a bunch of lower quality ones. COZIEST CASHMERE J. Crew just released this sweater and I immediately added to my…
I bought a new camera a couple of months ago and I promised a post about it once I had tested it for a while! I’m super excited to share my Sony a7 III review. MY NEW CAMERA: SONY A7 III A handful of years ago, I purchased a camera for video content. I purchased…
I had an unsurprisingly low key week again. Lots of casual, comfy outfits per usual. We have a LOT of snow in our forecast, so I imagine I’ll be going even more cozy as the week goes on. WEEK OF OUTFITS 2.2.21 LAST WEEK’S WIN: Getting OUT. Mike and I had such a fun time…
This post is sponsored by Olay! As you probably guessed by now, I am a full blown Olay convert. I have yet to try one of their products that I don’t love. Not only are you getting a high quality product that tackles some of my peskiest skin issues and insecurities, but it is also…
I had a pretty good reading month! I also read every single night before bed since January 1. I’ve been trying to read every night, even if it’s just a page. (I always end up reading more, but having no pressure beyond opening the book and reading one sentence definitely makes it an easy goal…
Rounding up the last couple of weeks according to my iPhone’s camera roll. Apparently I’ve been super into food pics lately– almost like it’s 2013! DIARY No.48 Our brother in law came over to watch some football. He and Mike both love to cook so I’m totally spoiled when the two of them decide they’re…
✨ 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_us!
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
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
