What I Eat in a Week
I was thinking about doing a post like this, and I was kind of on the fence about it. I inquired on social if this was something you guys were interested in reading it and the response was an overwhelming “yes!” A few disclaimers though: – I’m not a foodie. I’m not creating elaborate meals…
6 Recipes for Meal Prep Sunday
I’ve been slowly (very, very slowly) getting better at preparing my meals at home. I’m sharing more about that this week, in fact, but a big part of it is grocery shopping on one day and getting what I need for the week. I know this is common sense, but, um, it took me a…
Stripes for Days
It seems like I’m really focusing on all those classic staple pieces in my closet on my blog this year. Today, it’s all about the striped shirt. Now, I can’t lie here… there is not “one” striped shirt in my closet. There are many striped shirts. I can’t get enough– and not without good reason. More often than not I find myself reaching for a striped shirt instead of a plain tee. The stripes are a bit more interesting, and they really are so classic looking.
I’m all for all kinds of stripes, but if you were to get just one, a Saint James navy and white shirt would be my top recommendation. I’ve had this shirt for years. I’m pretty sure I got it in 2012, and it’s remained one of my favorites.
Your Ideal Weekend
I was taking a look at my calendar this weekend, and it dawned on me that my weekends have changed drastically over the years. As a kid, my weekends were spent schlepping around the state of Florida for my sister’s soccer tournaments. Then in high school, I had an insane amount of homework on top of…
On My Radar
It has felt so nice to be at home for a full week. I had such an amazing time traveling, and I’m grateful for every experience, but I’m just such a homebody. I like to be at home with my routine, sleeping in my bed every night. As part of that routine, the pups and…
My Spring Staples
When I think of springy outfits, I typically think of floral prints (groundbreaking… right? hehe) and girly pinks and flirty skirts. In reality, my spring wardrobe is mostly just my classic pieces that are warm enough for the cold spring days. I was going through my archive to pull some inspiration and, well, I clearly…
Spring Cleaning
Oh man, you guys. The state of my apartment right now is downright shameful. I’m embarrassed by how disorganized things have gotten. It’s clean, but it’s not organized. At all. The past month has been a whirlwind of packing and unpacking, which didn’t bode well for clothes going back in the right spots. I was also in…
Gingham to the Max
I immediately purchased this gingham dress the minute I saw it online. It’s a stunner, and dare I say it, a must have for the summer. It fits amazingly and feels just as great on. Even though it looks super fancy, it’s surprisingly easy to wear. You could certainly dress it up for a night out or bring it out for a casual day too. I wore it shopping in Palm Beach.

Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
