There’s nothing quite like having a newborn to make time absolutely FLY by. It’s kind of funny how slow time felt towards the end of my pregnancy– January felt like a whole year! And now I’m trying to dig my heels in the sand to make time slow down…. 😭 My needlepoint for beginners tips!…
I’m continuing with the Easter theme on the blog this week and rounding up some of the best Easter dresses for women in 2024. There’s just something about Easter that calls for floral prints and pastel hues, don’t you think? I came across some adorable pastel dresses while browsing online, which immediately excited me for…
Believe it or not, Easter is right around the corner! Instead of being in April this year, it’s happening on March 31, which is just crazy to think about. I wanted to round up the best Easter baskets today so you have plenty of time before the monogramming deadlines pass– top of mind for me…
Back with another week of outfits, postpartum edition. I will say, I’m feeling a bit more normal. Still can’t fit into most of my clothing (and I doubt I’ll fit into most of my shoes ever again 💔) so I’m working with a limited selection of clothing for the time being. And, I really having a…
Not the greatest month of reading for me, but it was a short month (😉) and I had a baby smack dab in the middle so I think I have a good excuse for not reading quite as much. Nevertheless, some good recommendations coming your way. THE ENCHANTED HOUR by Meghan Cox Gurdon 4.5/5 STARS The…
Rabbit, rabbit! HAPPY MARCH. When I first moved to NYC, I will never forget my first (very long) winter…. I thought surely we would have spring weather by March 1 and I remember looking out the window in my office at snow and thinking, “wait where’s spring?!” and then realizing that we were very much…
I’m two weeks into this postpartum period with Rory and I thought I’d round up some of the must-have products I’ve been relying on. Postpartum is a super personal experience though, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt. These are just the postpartum must haves have worked for me in my journey! I’ve…
I don’t know how I’ve been able to post so much since having Rory, but I have to say, it feels good! After rotating through the same few outfits at the tail end of my pregnancy and now navigating my postpartum body, I’m looking forward to the weather warming up so I can wear dresses…
I thought I’d share some of the recent things I’ve worn since giving birth nearly two weeks ago. I mostly have worn comfy clothes while home, but it’s been nice to put on the occasional “real” outfit here and there. Even though I physically feel soooo much better after my second baby, I am experiencing…
✨ 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 🤪
