I’m pre-writing this post…. but when it goes live, I should be fully relaxed down in Florida. I’ve been counting down the days until I could see my family again and I’m so happy everyone was able to get their vaccines to make this trip happen. It’s been so strange not being able to see my…
When J. Crew reached out to partner on a post together, I knew I wanted to shoot it down in Florida while I was visiting my family. J. Crew is always the first place I go whether I’m looking for staples and basics or going somewhere special. It’s already hot down at my parents’ house so I…
NURSERY INSPIRATION I know I’ve mentioned that I haven’t done much for the nursery. I haven’t had the chance to fully dig into the details, but I feel like I was being unfair to myself. Yes, the room is currently a disaster. It’s a hodge podge of old furniture and I’ve been using it as a…
Sooooo last week had some winter weather hit us and I’m hoping it’s the last of it until…. October. I also spent most of the week gearing up to take time off. Felt a little hectic but I am just so excited to be in Florida to see my fam, it made the work feel easier….
I haven’t had the chance to sew in what feels like eons. I miss it!!!! I’m hoping this summer I’ll have a bit more time to commit to pulling my machine out. (I actually stored it in the basement because seeing it was making me sad.) Rounding up some great summer fabric choices here. After…
This post is sponsored by thredUP. I have been a big fan of thredUP for years. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m relying on thredUP more than ever!!! If I’ve learned anything in my short time with a baby bump so far, it’s that finding clothes that make me feel GOOD during this stage of life…
DIARY No.54 Here’s the past two weeks according to my phone’s camera roll. Mike and I love these Kodiak Cake pancakes. They are super easy to make and are packed with protein. I don’t make them often but whenever I want kind of a “treat”-like weekend breakfast, these are a go-to. Teddy moves throughout the…
This week has been a whirlwind! Kind of a bit of everything. From hitting a deadline five days early to getting sick again from pregnancy. I’m relieved re: the deadline and hopeful that the getting sick was just a fluke. I have been trying to get ahead of schedule work-wise so I can take some…
Who is ready for “shot girl summer.” I could never really get behind the hot girl summer meme, but shot girl summer? 100% here for it. Last year, I was so sad that most of my cute summer dresses went unworn in my closet. I rotated through many of the same casual dresses where I went…
✨ 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 🤪
