I took these photos recently for a special Valentine’s Day-inspired Instagram for Talbots. I ended up loving the photos so much, I had to share on here as well. And, non-Valentine’s related, I also had to share the most amazing discovery pants-wise. The focus of the Instagram is the cute heart crossbody (that I freaking love), but the pants ended up being the best thing ever.
I feel like no matter how old I get, I will always love anything with a cute bow on it. I’ve been eyeing so many pieces with bows right now that I had to share.
I feel like I haven’t stopped this week– in such a great way. I was blow drying my hair this week and realized how much it’s already grown out since my haircut right after the new year. Seems pretty fitting though because I feel like the end of my January looks completely different than it did at…
I love that I’m able to chat with you guys on Snapchat! I do my best to respond when I can and to read as many messages as possible… but I especially love it when you guys send me amazing recommendations. Whether it’s a new book or answering a question I have, it’s like having…
One of my favorite ways to come up with blog posts is to look to my email and Tumblr inboxes. I get a ton of questions and do my best to answer all of them. It’s funny though because there are times where I’m getting numerous questions within a short amount of time. Right now, not sure why, I’m getting a lot of questions about cute cases for iPhones! My guess is that they were Christmas gifts and everyone’s ready for something new and cute. (Or maybe Valentine’s Day gift ideas!?) Regardless, I thought I’d round up fifteen of the cutest cases right now. I want them all, tbh.
Now, I’m pretty good about getting out the door for classes, but sometimes I need a little motivation, like super cute and comfortable outfits. The J. Crew x New Balance collection has been a favorite of mine. They mix and match well, so I can put together the best looks for whatever I’m doing. (I like different fits for yoga versus weightlifting versus cardio.) You can imagine my excitement when J. Crew asked me to partner on a post sharing some of the latest collection.
After posting Valentine’s Day gifts for her, I had a few requests for gifts for guys. I think shopping for guys will always be a challenge. It can be kind of exciting though, especially when you find that perfect something. Below are just a few ideas I
This may, hands down, be my favorite recipe round up from Louisa. My mouth was watering as I read each of them. I don’t think I can pick a favorite; and while I wasn’t planning on going to a Super Bowl party, now I think I must if only to whip up (and eat, duh)…
After visiting Georgetown last week, I had been seriously thinking about what I would tell myself as a freshman if I were to write her a letter. I wish I could tell her all the spoiler alerts, but I know she wouldn’t believe it. (And I think that those amazing things should still remain surprises!)…
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
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!!
