Another week of outfits! It doesn’t feel like it’s been enough time to have another one of these posts, but I checked my calendar twice and yes it’s Tuesday. (Time is just flying by…) LAST WEEK’S WIN: Elsa and I had so much fun in Newport together. We roadtripped together and it was just nice to have…
DEAR EDWARD by Ann Napolitano 4.5/5 Stars This was such a beautiful book. I must have been living under a rock when it came out in 2020 because I hadn’t heard anything about it. It was picked up for a bunch of different book clubs and awards and after reading it I can see why….
Kind of a random post today… but I’m searching for a little pouch to use on an everyday basis. I mostly carry around my diaper bag in lieu of a handbag most of the time lately, but I like to keep my personal items in a small pouch so they’re separate from everything else. If…
This week was a full week. I haven’t done this much interacting with people in… well… years! Mike and I spent the weekend down the shore, then Elsa and I drove up to Newport to attend a conference we were both speaking at, and then I had my first real event in the city since before…
With tomorrow being the start of April, I feel like I can finally, really, start thinking about my spring wardrobe! I love putting together these capsule wardrobes every season as a resource to come back to on days when I’m lacking inspiration or stuck on what to wear. So whether you like to follow a…
Loving these random lists of the first ten things I think of. I’ve been enjoying a nice “old school” approach to blogging lately. I used to read so many blogs– it would be the highlight of my morning routine. Now so few update routinely and I miss the “personal” feel of others. These posts feel…
Was this my best week of outfits, no. Not at all. We had so much stuff going on behind the scenes last week that everything, myself included, felt like a HOT MESS. I keep laughing at myself that I thought I was going to “coast” this year. I don’t feel like I’m coasting, at all….
I’ve been slowly adding a few things into my closet that I feel good in and can mix and match into what I already have. After purchasing these pants in black last year, I recently got the ivory. I am obsessed with the silhouette of the pants– a bit of a kick crop, the perfect…
Just sharing some happy photos from my camera roll over the past few weeks! Lots of fun things have been happening lately and I just feel like my cup is full! My hair is growing back out nicely from the cut I got around the holidays. I’m contemplating going shorter again, but in the meantime…
✨ 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 🤪
