Instead of releasing gift guides one by one, this year I’m just consolidating everything into ONE POST. Honestly, over the years I’ve honed in on what makes a good gift guide. (I think at this point I have a decade’s worth of data to draw from!) I’m hoping that this makes your shopping easier and…
Woof. It’s been… a week? Words fail me right now. This is me trying to show up to work. My social feeds, in person conversations, group chats, and internal thoughts are pretty consumed right now with the election news. So I’m showing up here, today, trying to keep things light. That’s not to say things…
I am getting so excited for Christmas after seeing all of the cute ornaments! I couldn’t resist rounding up a few of my favorites to share with you that would make a beautiful addition to any tree or a fun option to bring to an ornament exchange. Last year I decided to decorate our tree with…
I’m still very much in the fall spirit. I’m just enjoying it so much and I’m not quite ready for winter. (That is despite the turning back of the clocks and the random eighty degree days we’re still having.) My in-laws had a family photoshoot planned for last January, which got canceled due to a…
Even more than the actual books I read this month, I’m just happy to report that I found the best solution so far for actually being able to read every day. I have a goal to read every single day, but between nursing around the clock, working, and also just having two kids, when I…
Rabbit, Rabbit! We are flying through Q4– I can’t believe it’s November. I’m really looking forward to this weekend– all the fun family stuff we love about fall weekends! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Monique Lhuillier for Pottery Barn Dying over so much of the Monique Lhuillier collection for…
Fleece jackets are one of those closet staples that I come back to every fall! I think they’re the best thing to throw on to walk the dog, run errands, or just lounge around the house. They’re warm and cozy and essentially feel like you’re wrapped up in a blanket—say less. Here are a few…
The weather in New Jersey has been in a weird in-between phase– it’s cool, and sometimes even chilly, in the morning, but heats up a LOT by the afternoon. (That hasn’t stopped us from putting on a fire at night though!) Before we know it, it’s going to be dark and cold, so now’s as…
This week is filled more casual outfits. Just that kind of week! Still loving the outfits though because I’m really just a sweater and jeans kind of girl at heart. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Waking up early has been life changing. Two weeks in and I don’t see myself going back. The initial alarm is annoying, but because…
#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
