I kind of feel like I’m going through a midlife “style crisis” of sorts. I don’t really think 32 is midlife (or at least I hope it’s not!), but there’s something about being in this new stage of life and in this new decade that’s really making me rethink, well, everything when it comes to…
What a fun week!!! Truly gorgeous weather and Mike’s friend came and visited for a few days, so that was great, too. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Mike and I squeezed in a couple of date nights together. Jack is there too and for the most part sleeps through dinner, but it’s just been so nice to…
I recently hit a 1,000 day streak on Duolingo (today will be day 1,040!!) and I wanted to share my experience with the app. If you’re unfamiliar with Duolingo, it’s a great app to learn new languages with. It’s very user-friendly and there is a free version as well as a paid version. WHAT LANGUAGE…
I’ve been having way more fun shopping for Jack than shopping for myself. Everything is just so much cuter in miniature! I maintain that there are many, many more options for cute baby girl clothes, but cute boy clothes exist too! It just takes longer to find. Some of my favorite fall looks for Jack:…
We had an insanely gorgeous week here… and I’m in denial that we only have one more week left of this incredible trip. Truly, it’s been a dream. Don’t make me go back to real life…. In the meantime, here’s what has been on my radar: ONE // Five Cozy Fall Soups I’ve been craving…
It’s been a while since I last shared an Amazon Fashion edit. I’m trying to soak up this gorgeous fall weather as much as possible before the temperature starts to dip and the time change sneaks up on us (trying not to think about it!!!). I’ve gotten a few requests recently to share another Amazon…
Let me just come right out and say that I watched an obscene amount of shows this summer and during the first few weeks postpartum. Not going to lie, at times looking forward to another episode of tv was the only thing getting me through an evening or tough day. Towards the end of my…
Hi! Back again with another week of outfits! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Getting in a bathing suit was a huge win. First of all, I haven’t been able to swim since the day my water broke! I had gotten so used to ocean swimming and pond swimming and pool swimming while pregnant and didn’t realize how much…
There have been so many collaborations this year between different brands. It’s been a little overwhelming to keep up with them all because they’ve all been incredibly tempting. Feels like every week someone is teaming up with a brand or two brands are coming together for an exciting new launch. Well… I think this might…
✨ 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 🤪
