This is beginning to look like the summer of smocked dresses, and I’m not mad about it! Between being pregnant and the recent heatwave, my summer wardrobe has consisted primarily of comfy dresses. They’ve quickly become my go-to choice for days when I want to wear something cute and comfortable. I’m honestly not sure I…
When I got an email from Madewell with their new arrivals a couple of weeks back, this dress immediately stood out to me. It’s a very similar cut to a dress I purchased this spring, and that one has become a staple for me during the third trimester of my pregnancy. (While my feet are…
All of last week’s outfits are from our trip to Nantucket. It was a perfect trip and in true Nantucket fashion, we got a little bit of everything weather wise. Each day was a little different: hot and humid, hot and windy, chilly and drizzly, rainy and breezy… You definitely have to pack for a…
Mike and I have been thoroughly enjoying our vacation this week! It’s also so crazy to think it’s already July– this year has absolutely flown by and with my due date fast approaching, I’m sure it’s only going to speed along even more. (If baby comes early he could be a July little guy!) ON…
Recently I have found SO many great affordable options while shopping! I feel like retailers are stepping up their game this year when it comes to the detail and quality of their pieces. I’ve been impressed by all of the new arrivals, and there seems to be no shortage of cute and affordable dresses this…
Summer reading is upon us!!!! Sharing the books I read during the month of June here. Would love to know if you’ve read anything great lately…. I always get the best suggestions from you guys! WHAT I READ IN JUNE 2021 THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE by Katherine Center 4/5 Stars I really, really…
It was a pretty typical week over here. Pretty warm and humid with some thunderstorms mixed in, so I’ve been wearing all of my go-to summer dresses. (You’re probably sick of seeing the same ones heavily in rotation.) LAST WEEK’S WIN: Maybe not the “biggest” win, but certainly a “feel good” one was getting to…
I’ve shifted into a slower gear for summer (and very grateful to be able to do so) and it means a lot of things for me. From a generally slower pace to less screen time. And, of course, more time in the sun. We’re doing a week at the beach right now and when we…
I thought I’d take this Sunday post to share some of the things bringing me joy right now. I have been in a great mood lately and I feel like I’ve been finding “joy” in all the things, big and small. WHAT’S BRINGING ME JOY NUTPODS So I love following Sasha and Christy on Youtube…
✨ 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 🤪
