We leave bright and early for Nantucket tomorrow morning! We’re just going for a week, but I’m crossing my fingers for great beach weather the whole time. I want to be outside, with my feet in the sand, for as much as possible. Mike and I are planning on doing lots of beach time… but…
This week went by so fast. Usually when I have a trip I’m looking forward to, I feel like time inches along so slowly. But it really flew. Mike and I are heading to Nantucket next week for a little babymoon. The house we usually rent had construction going on, so we rented a little…
There are less than two weeks until the 4th of July, and this summer is already going by too fast! The Fourth has always felt like a marker of how much of the summer is left. It comes around so quickly each year and makes me want to rewind just a little so I can…
It’s so funny how the guest room and nursery situation worked out. And by “so funny,” I really mean, I changed my mind a hundred times and luckily (maybe even miraculously) it turned out better than I originally planned. GUEST BEDROOM IDEAS When we bought our house, I always thought I’d convert the smallest room…
Such a great week of reuniting with friends, spending as much time as possible outside, and just overall soaking up summer. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I got to see a near final product for a big project and… it was incredible. I rarely do things where I’m not involved in every single step of the way…
I need to start this post by saying, I am shocked we were able to have a baby shower for our boy at all. When we found out we were expecting, I couldn’t imagine our life looking any different than it did at the time. We skipped all of the usual wedding things (no bachelorette/bachelor parties,…
With our farmer’s market in full swing and local farms selling their summer-best berries and produce, I have been in the mood for baking. There is something about having a great, fresh dessert after grilling out in the backyard that just tastes extra summery. Cobblers, light cakes, s’mores…. I love them all. Just putting together this post…
It’s been a BUSY two weeks with lots going on! I love scrolling back through my phone and “reliving” some of the highlights to pick for this post. This week was harder than usual as there were just so many good moments. Hard to narrow it down. DIARY No.58 Almost everyone from Mike’s family was able…
What. A. Week. I have gone from zero to sixty in terms of socialization and I have loved every second of it. We had friends over for dinner on Friday which turned into a sleepover, then my mom and sister were in town, then my baby shower was on Sunday, we had dinner with my…
✨ 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 🤪
