Now that we’re back from Nantucket, I’ve started thinking more about the holidays! I’m looking forward to spending more time with family this year and making up for last year’s unusual holiday season. One of my favorite parts about the holidays is all of the traditions associated. This year feels extra special since it will…
This was one of my very favorite mom moments so far. Obviously we’re not too far into it, but it felt like a little taste of all the fun to come. While I admit that the other day I started sobbing looking at pictures from the day he was born, I am more okay with…
J. Crew just launched their holiday collection for this year! Right now you can get 25% off your purchase with code “NOVEMBER” and up to 50% off certain sale pieces too (the prices are marked). Just when I said in today’s earlier post that I wasn’t feeling excited about new clothes lately, this collection may have…
This was a great week in general, terrible week for outfits! First of all, Nantucket got hit pretty hard by a nor’easter in the middle of the week and it brought chilly, rainy, and extremely windy weather with it. Then we spent a couple of day packing, getting home, and unpacking. Super thrilling stuff! I…
Two great, one not-so-great book. While this was a lower yield month book-wise, I’m still pretty proud of finishing three books. Still trying to find time for reading. I’ve been trying to read via the Kindle app in the middle of the night while nursing, but I can barely keep my eyes straight. Mike and…
It’s the first gift guide of the season! As someone who loves to hear what other people are gifting to their friends and family, I thought a great way to kick off the 2021 gift guides would be to look back on the most popular gifts from 2020 and share some of the top-selling items…
Ugh our last two weeks from this very special trip. Every day seemed to be filled with some sort of magic! My best friend Nicole and her husband came over from the cape to spend the weekend with us. I have been dying for her to meet Jack and it was everything to see them…
This was kind of a crazy week. Lots of work deadlines mixed with my parents visiting and a nor’easter hitting Nantucket pretty hard. This was our last week here and we had really gotten so lucky with the weather up until this week. Certainly a lot of drama to go out with a bang with! Here’s…
With the start of November being a few days away and the recent Dudley Stephens holiday drop, it feels like a good time to share three ways to style one of my favorite fall and winter staples. I’ve been a fan of Dudley Stephens since their initial launch. You’ll notice I wear them a lot in…
✨ 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 🤪
