I did more reading during the month of December than I expected to. You’d think that most of it happened after I stepped away from work, but nope! I actually wasn’t in the mood to read as much during my break at all, which was strange but I just rolled with it. WHAT I READ…
The past two weeks feel like a blur!! I feel… underwater. That’s the best way to describe it. I came into my break feeling super burnt out and, if I’m being totally honest, taking time off didn’t exactly do the trick. I still had some things lingering over my head due in January and just…
HELLO 2021 I’ve made it a tradition to create intentions for every year. Last year, I wanted to focus less on comparing myself to others and the year before that it was focusing on getting into good habits and breaking bad ones. (I also set goals every year, which I’m going to recap how I…
I don’t do a lot of deep diving on my analytics anymore. I used to be obsessed– keeping the live tally on my computer at all times but it started to stress me out. So I outsource it now and it’s so nice to just get monthly reports where I don’t have to think about…
This is my last post until after Christmas! I’m going to take some time off from daily posting. I may be on Instagram here and there but for the most part I think I’ll be stepping away for at least a week. Usually I come back on December 31st to share my favorites of the…
I cannot believe Christmas is at the end of this week!!! After such a crazy year, I have very little sense of time anymore. Especially right now while we’re basically back down to early-pandemic safety protocols– the days are blending together. Despite it being a different season of celebration, I’m still really looking forward to…
I was really excited that Sezane wanted to partner with me for a couple of Instagram posts. I have a running list of “dream partnerships” and Sezane has been on it ever since I discovered the brand. And I love everything that the French brand does. The styles are simply perfection. (And they have a…
Back with another batch of photos from my camera roll! Honestly, it’s been pretty boring around here in a nice way. Not doing much other than working and needlepointing apparently. I was going through my phone and the two most exciting things were the snow day we had this week and all the needlepoint. DIARY…
The countdown to Christmas is on!!! I can’t believe it’s only a week away. I’m really looking forward to some time off of work and being cozy at home. Just as a heads up, I’ll have a posts through the 22nd and then I’ll be back around the New Year– I haven’t quite decided what…
#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
