So I’ve been keeping a “stash” of links for gifts and they didn’t make their way into any gift guides this year. Wanted to be sure to share everything so why not just throw them into one post! Bam! Blue & White Earrings I got an ad on IG for these and absolutely LOVE the…
It is no secret that I was bitten by the “handmade” bug this year. I have been crafting up a storm and I have a better appreciation for anything handmade because of it. But look, handmade gifts take time, creativity, and energy… which sometimes we’re all short on! I’m teaming up with Amazon Handmade for…
Coming in a day early because I have a sponsored post scheduled for tomorrow! Nothing too crazy happened around here. We’re celebrating Taylor’s birthday tomorrow and having neighbors over Saturday and then I’m going into the city Sunday for a New York Philharmonic concert so it should be an extra fun couple of days. Here’s…
I splurged on this cardigan and absolutely LOVE it. The jeweled buttons really add a nice pop to an otherwise plain cardigan. I went with the grey so it would be extra versatile, but honestly every color looks amazing. Really loving the neon peony!! Right now J. Crew is having a cashmere sale… most pieces…
Oh my word am I feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Between the snowfall we had and all the decorations everywhere. I’m just loving it. I braved some big stores on Sunday (World Market, Target, HomeGoods) and despite leaving my phone behind and lines for days, I was totally loving the buzz and excitement. I’m…
Surprise! Louisa is here today with a fun roundup of holiday cookies and gifts for foodies!! The Best Holiday Cookies & Gifts for Foodies Guest Post by Louisa from Living Lou I am in full-on holiday baking mode. Once December hits, I start thinking about all of the cookies I will make this season. For…
L’Occitane has been a go-to of mine for holiday gifting (and really any gifting) for years. I’m excited to partner again with them this year to share some great gifting ideas. My mom got me hooked on the brand because she always (and I mean always) had every sink and shower stocked with L’Occitane’s Verbena soaps…
Two weeks worth of holiday fun!!! Gosh, I’m loving it this year. Seriously. We had a great game night a couple of weeks ago with Mike’s sister and brother in law. We are all obsessed with Catan– if you haven’t played it yet it could be a fun thing to do over the holidays with…
We kicked off this week with a gorgeous snowfall. The forecast called for rain but we got lucky with snow. I’m sure I’ll be sick of the snow once April rolls around (those late spring snow days are the worst), but there is something quite magical about the first of the season. And it was as…
#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
