I am prefacing this post by saying I’m the farthest thing from a travel expert. So consider this post with a grain of salt. I’m just a mom, and a relatively “new” one since I only have an almost three year old and a five month old. Oh and I also have a difficult time…
Clearly very behind here, but realized I didn’t put up my post about what I read in June! It’s a short list, but a good one! SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE by Olivia Muenter 4.5/5 Stars I loooooved Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter. It’s a bit of a psychological thriller but only in the sense that…
Here’s what we were up to on Nantucket! I had the hardest time narrowing this down, so I’m sharing some of my random but favorite snaps. The best view in my opinion! There’s just nothing better than arriving to the house after a long journey and knowing you have a whole vacation ahead of you….
Hello, hello! Long time no “on my radar.” Honestly, I barely touched my computer while on vacation (I didn’t even take my charger out of my bag!) and it feels nice to get back into the swing of things with regular posting again. Here’s what has been on my radar: ONE // Puff Sleeve Top…
We came back from Nantucket to another heat wave, and I am already missing the cooler coastal weather! I foresee us spending a lot of time at our pond club throughout the rest of the summer, so I wanted to round up some cute swimsuits and coverups for those of you who are also trying…
I’m back from Nantucket! As usual, it was the best trip, and I was really able to take time off. I’m looking forward to getting back in the swing of things though. A vacation recap is in the works, but today I wanted to ease back into blog posts with something simple: the best Quince…
Happiest Friday! I’m pre-writing this post as we’re traveling this week to Nantucket. It’s a whole lot of logistics traveling with two kids and a dog for a couple of weeks, but it’s going to be well worth the effort. Planning on putting the blog on vacation mode next week for the Fourth of July,…
Is it just me or have we all been sleeping on the TJ Maxx website?! I went down an absolute rabbit hole recently…. So. Many. Tabs. Of course, I had to share all the great TJ Maxx home decor finds with you guys! By the way, if you like this, you’ll love my recent roundups…
I’m feeling a little all over the place lately. Life, work, motherhood. Trying to find a rhythm while also trying to just go with the flow and then trying to find the rhythm of going with the flow 🤣 We are definitely in summer mode, which I have been craving, but there’s just a lot to…
#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
✨ 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.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
