Summer is unofficially here and let me be the first one to tell you: The Riordan family is ready! We’ve been eating outside every night (as long as it’s not raining). We’ve been playing with bubbles, scooting with our cousins, and practicing our bike riding skills. I just rewashed all of our bathing suits to get…
My hunt for fun dresses that I feel extra good in continues! I loved chatting with you guys on stories last week about having cute dresses in our closets but nowhere to wear them, or rather no energy to go out and wear them, ha! As the weather starts heating up, I love reaching for easy…
My favorite kinds of gifts to give are the ones that are so practical it completely changes their lives, or so indulgent they’d never purchase it for themselves. This roundup of the best Father’s Day gifts for dads has a little bit of both! BEST FATHER’S DAY GIFTS FOR DADS Solo Stove // How amazing…
Time for another week of outfits! I love this round up too, super practical and comfortable outfits for when the weather starts heating up. LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had such a fun long weekend. We typically travel this weekend and we were disappointed that we weren’t able to, but I have to say it ended…
We were originally going to be down the shore this weekend for Memorial Day, but our plans changed and now we get to spend the weekend at home! I’m so excited for a slow weekend without having to pack anything or worry about parenting outside of our space…. you know? I’m getting our bathing suits,…
I can’t believe it’s already almost Memorial Day! The sales are starting early this year, so I wanted to help you cut down on some of the noise, and share a curated list of my favorite retailers running sales that I think you guys will like the best! Memorial Day Sale Picks J. Crew //…
Amazon and Target seem to have better and better home decor every year. While some of it can end up being junk, there’s always some gems worth buying (this set of 12 cloth napkins is definitely catching my eye)! After rounding up affordable fashion under $50, it only made sense to now do inexpensive home…
This was not my most inspired week of outfits. Truth be told, I was feeling a bit overextended and ended up in leggings and the same sweatshirt more times than I care too admit 😉 But I will say, I loved the outfits that I did wear. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Truly the biggest win was…
I love coordinating my outfits with the boys. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s something I enjoy doing on occasion (and frankly, it makes for the cutest pictures). With two boys, I’ve been trying to go for more coordination than straight up matching, even for their outfits. There are so many options out there…
✨ 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 🤪
