Can you spot my monogram? This one only took about 30 minutes. Like all Type-A perfectionists, I am slightly addicted to Sharpies. I don’t know how anyone can resist them. Last week, I was shopping with California Funk and Lili Lover. They were coming back from practice and I met up with them at Ralph…
Well pretty much 🙂 V and her boyfriend made the front page of the New York Insider TV website! How fabulous do they look? Little V and I went to go see “17 Again” last night. It started off really cheesy and bad and I was annoyed I spent almost 11 dollars on the ticket (when…
How fitting is it that my 50th blog post is about LILLY PULITZER considering it’s their 50th Anniversary. I’ve been gone for a few days now, locked up in the library. It’s actually a lot of fun, weird I know. I had my accounting exam this afternoon at 4 and was absolutely dreading it,…
Lilly + Crew= LOVE. Please don’t laugh. This was the summer before my senior year. I had been coxing everyday during that summer, and this was the result. I cannot begin to tell you how weird it is for me to actually ENJOY the sun. I have the fairest skin ever (which is a weird…
Why: 1) US Political Systems research paper (Legit research paper, I might add… AH) 2) H&W Poetry of War final paper (hmm.. does poetry have a social utility?) 3) Ethics paper. Enough said. 4) Friday 6:30 am practice. Saturday 7 am practice. Sunday 7 am race. 5) Accounting final. (Let’s just say, it HAS to…
Georgetown Boy and Jack the Bulldog. This picture is the epitome of Georgetown 🙂 Me, Victoria, and CF… and Tucker, too! On one of the rooftop apartments during the campus tour! Wow. I feel like every weekend gets crazier and crazier. Yesterday, as I mentioned in my previous post, was Georgetown Day. Oh yea, and don’t forget…
This was the picture I saw when I first opened my emails this morning. What a great way to start the day 🙂 How adorable are these truffles? I want some!!! FireLilly Chocolates makes them. I’m signed up for Daily Candy. They have great emails. Everyday I get so excited to see what they’re going…
I bought my Vineyard Vines Nor’Easter jacket when it was just starting to get cold in DC. I needed a waterproof jacket for crew practices. I had looked at some Patagonia choices, but didn’t find one in the right style or color. The Nor’Easter is perfect for crew. It was made for sailing, I’m assuming….
I cannot believe that the semester is almost over. It’s so crazy! I have pretty bad testing anxiety so thankfully I only have two final exams: spanish and accounting. Spanish should be OK… I’m going to have to study for accounting. A lot. Since I only have two finals, I have 3 papers due. I’ve…
#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
