I’ve officially lost all sense of time. 😅 The time change this weekend threw off our entire house. We were just getting into a good rhythm at home and bam! Who knew one hour could make such a difference for the baby’s schedule! Or how much one less hour of light at night could throw me…
‘Tis the season for tartan—my favorite season! All of the recent holiday new arrivals inspired me to share a round-up of some of the best festive pieces this year. I’ve already started taking out my tartan printed clothing and home decor to make this holiday season special. There’s such a short window where tartan feels…
I had to dedicate a full blog post to J. Crew’s lady jacket in boiled wool. It’s one of the best pieces I’ve gotten from the brand in a while, it’s that good. It’s a versatile, instant closet-staple that I can see myself reaching for again and again. The best part is that it is currently…
The weather is definitely turning chilly– our heat is on for the season! I’m kind of dreading winter, so I’m forcing myself to think cozy thoughts and to just appreciate all the nice sweaters that I have (and love). LAST WEEK’S WIN: We got to see our friends who moved to PA last year. When we…
I wanted to dedicate a whole blog post to our recent “parental leave” trip and why I think it was the best thing we did as a new family of three. (If you missed it or just stumbled into this blog post from somewhere else around the internet, we rented a house for four weeks…
I put this up on my TikTok today and thought I’d share it here too as a bonus blog post of the day. (Quickly putting this up while Jack is finishing up a nap!) NECESSAIRE BODY RITUAL SET I am a full blown Necessaire convert. Everything makes for a more luxurious shower experience and I’m…
Personalized gifts are one of my favorite gifts to give! You may have to put in a little more planning to leave enough time for customization, but it’s always worth the extra step and makes for a truly special gift. Some of my favorite monogrammed gift ideas this year include my everyday tote that’s under $100, this…
Thought it would be fun to round up my personal Christmas wishlist, just for fun. By wishlist, I should clarify that this is a dream wishlist. Just for fun. BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR FRYER PRO We don’t have an air fryer…. yet. And right now our toaster is fine, but I don’t like it enough to…
This past week went by at warp speed. We hit the ground running upon our return and I feel like “real life” hit us fast. Catching up with family, friends, and (of course) work. I felt like I needed 48 hours to get my life reassembled here. We had to get Jack readjusted to being…
✨ 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 🤪
