This post is sponsored by my go-to retailer for holiday outfits…. J. CREW. It goes without saying that not only does J. Crew have you covered for your everyday basics, it also is the destination for all things festive. (Plus a great spot for gifts for the whole family.) When I’m picking out outfits for…
Guys can be hard to shop for, so I’m rounding up a few gifts for him that I think would be perfect for any of the men in your life. Most of these products are either things Mike owns/loves or things I’ve gifted in the past. I’ve included a little something for everyone, so I…
Anyone else in disbelief that Thanksgiving is next week? I swear it feels like we were just celebrating it yesterday. This year my parents and sister are coming up and we’re going to do the whole shebang at our house. I’m excited because we haven’t had a big holiday here yet– we usually go to…
These jeans were an instant hit for me when I bought them last August. So much so that I repurchased them shortly after I had Jack. I’ve never been one for trends, so when it comes to styles of jeans, I’m in the camp of ‘you do you.’ Wear skinny jeans, straight jeans, mom jeans… as…
I have a partnership with Madewell for Instagram posts this holiday season and I was so into the outfit I wore for the first round, that I had to share it here too. Everything besides the jeans was gifted and this post isn’t sponsored, but the Instagram is… just for extra disclosure! I know I…
Another week of outfits here! This felt like the first true normal week since we got back. Between being gone for a month and daylight savings, it didn’t feel like we were in a good routine for a bit. But we’re back in action!! Well, as much as we can be. I swear I’m trying…
I’m going to start this post with a bit of a disclaimer. I’ve been trying to write this for… a while. I have a few versions sitting in drafts where I had started and stopped writing it. It’s kind of hard to explain, and I’ll do my best, but I warn that it won’t be…
I usually have one of two starting points when I’m searching for gifts – I either have a general idea of what I want, and it’s just a matter of hunting it down, or I have no idea and go through every site until I find something that feels right! Between Mike’s family and mine,…
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past two weeks: This was the scene when we came home from Nantucket. Mike’s parents were staying in our house and his brother has been helping me with some organizational stuff so we came home to a full house! I was dreading unpacking, but it actually didn’t take…
✨ 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 🤪
