We’ve been having the LOVELIEST fall days. Between the peak foliage and the crisp cool (not cold) air, I am one happy lady. Every afternoon, the dogs and I have been going for extra-long walks. We have our normal loop, but I’m taking advantage of these perfect afternoons and going the extra mile. (I know…
Back today with another iPhone recap of the past two weeks. There’s a bagel shop within walking distance of our house that I love. Not going to lie, I almost always go just for the hazelnut coffee– which is amazing. I popped over there with Meghan before her train back into the city and decided to…
My sister is here for a few days! I’m so excited to show her around town and to just hang low. I think we’re going to do a Halloween type movie night– maybe throw it back to Halloweentown or one of the Harry Potter movies. Popcorn, candy, pizza. Just an old fashioned girls’ night in. (Isn’t that…
This is a little bit of a follow up to this post from the first week of October. I mentioned how versatile I thought this leopard skirt was and I totally stand by that. It’s a great skirt. The longer I have it in my closet, the more ways I think about styling it. (I’m going…
I am so excited for Halloween this year. I don’t think I’ve been this excited since high school. After we outgrew trick or treating, we had this tradition with one of our close family friends’ that we would go to their house to hang out. In middle school, that meant Razor-scootering on the sidewalk (with light-up…
Shopbop just added a TON of product to their sale section. I almost titled this, “I went through 45 pages of the Shopbop sale so you don’t have to.” LOL. I often wish when these big department stores would have a “Carly filter” and just show me what I’d actually like. That’s basically what this…
If nothing else comes from this post, you’ll at least know that a) I wasn’t kidding when I said I was obsessed with black and green right now and b) I REALLY love this style of shirt. I’ve had it for a couple of years now (and own it in four colors, whoops). I just love…
My friend Taylor asked me to come with her to Create & Cultivate’s Small Business Summit. Truth be told, she was interested because she is (unquestionably) Sophia Bush’s number one fan, and Sophia was the keynote speaker. I spoke at a previous Create & Cultivate event and really liked it. I had been trying to make…
We have a pretty cute little corner bookstore on our town’s main street. It was a huge selling point for me when we made decisions about where we wanted to live. It has a pretty good selection and I love supporting local bookstores when I can. It does have a community hub, but I wish…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours

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.usa
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
