One of these days, I’ll get my act together so I post these earlier. With that said, it was a totally solid month of reading and I read what I think is a perfect novel. Truly the best book I’ve read all year… maybe ever? Here’s what I read in September 2024: THE WEDDING PEOPLE by Alison…
I’m usually pretty simple when it comes to my jewelry. The one place where I tend to mix things up the most is with earrings. Well, let me clarify. I usually end up finding a few pairs that I love and wear over and over again in a hyperfixation. I occasionally find myself wearing statement…
We had a cozy week at home. Lots of baking (I have been having so much fun with sourdough) and gearing up for spooky season. Jack understands what Halloween is now, so it’s been extra fun. His class did a neighborhood walk to go see some Halloween decorations in town and it’s all he’s been…
I’m slowly getting back into my normal routines after a fun and busy summer. Here’s a little roundup of what I snagged on Amazon in September—everything from home organization to everyday essentials that are making life feel just a bit more organized heading into fall! Double Stroller Organizer // If you have little kids, you know how quickly…
One of the best parts of the fall and winter months? Being COZY. I’ve amassed quite a collection of cozy clothes, which I’d like to think makes me a bit of an expert in them, haha. The first week of October seemed like the perfect time to round up a mix of my newer and…
Rabbit, rabbit! I am looking forward to a fun October with the boys!! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I got some sourdough starter and made my first loaf! Wow, I know I’m extremely late to the “trend,” but I’m here to let you know that it’s never too late to get into this. Literally one loaf in and…
I’m writing this as September winds down. This month absolutely flew by– especially compared to August which seemed to stretch on for eternity. September is usually my favorite month of the entire year. Still giving warm vibes but dipping back into routines and getting a taste of fall…. but this year it went by so…
This post is sponsored by Audible! When Jack was born, I had no idea how quickly my little baby would turn into a busy, curious toddler with endless energy and a fierce sense of independence. At three years old, he’s got his own little personality (and opinions!) and keeps me on my toes all day…
This week was both boring and a doozy! One thing that’s tough about my job is that when it rains it pours. I can go two weeks with nothing due and then all of a sudden every campaign is due within 48 hours. Always keeps you on your toes. Mike got Rory and Jack outfits for…
#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
