Oh this past week was full on summer mode!!! We had a little bit of everything from intense heat to afternoon thunderstorms. June is one of my favorite months and I am trying to relish every single day the best I can!! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I took a really hard barre class at the gym….
It’s been a while since I did a round up of needlepoint canvases and thought now was a perfect time to share some of the best fun, summery ones out there. Right now, I’m furiously working on baby’s stocking. I barely stitched a thing for the first few months of the year (a weird “symptom”…
I don’t know why but I kept thinking today was Father’s Day… but good news! It’s in two weeks so you have plenty of time to get the father(s) in your life the gift(s) they want most. Is it just me or is buying gifts for guys 100x harder than buying gifts for the ladies…
It’s been a FUN couple of weeks around here. We’ve been settling into a nice summer routine. Happy to see our friends again, celebrate and prepare for baby, and just trying to savor these long sunny days! DIARY No.57 Our good family friend couldn’t make it to my Tampa baby shower so she offered to…
I had such an easy, breezy week and it was so nice. Mike and I are heading down the shore this weekend to celebrate our niece’s second birthday and get some quality time in by the beach. I’m hoping it stays pretty warm to really lean into a summer mood. ON MY RADAR 6.4.21 Here’s…
I’ve started receiving more requests for wedding guest dresses to wear this summer. With so many couples having to postpone their weddings last year, I have a feeling wedding season is just starting to ramp up again. I tried to find a mix of dresses that fit almost every dress code. WEDDING GUEST DRESSES Midi…
TUCKERNUCK SPORT COLLECTION Okay, this is NOT a drill. Tuckernuck’s NEW sport collection is live and let me tell you: I want everything. While I’m hoping to get a few pieces that I think will (fingers crossed) work with my bump right now, postpartum, and beyond. Like everything that they do, Tuckernuck nailed this entire…
I am so looking forward to lots of summer reading over the next couple of months. (I imagine my reading time is going to be significantly affected come August once baby is here!) Here’s what I read over the past month: WHAT I READ IN MAY 2021 ONE TWO THREE by Laurie Frankel 4.5/5 Stars One…
This was such a chill week here and I loved it. Slow mornings, easy afternoons, and low-key evenings. I took some time off this past weekend too and despite crummy weather it was definitely a great time to recharge. We had planned on going down the shore and the whole family decided last minute to…
✨ 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 🤪
