I’m crossing so many things off my Christmas shopping lists… I shared almost all of my gift guides. I have one more to ready to go this weekend. I wanted to touch base about some Cyber Week sales that I don’t think you should miss. I think 98% of the internet is currently on sale,…
Another week of very realistic outfits that I wore! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Biggest win was being able to lean into work more. I’ve really scaled back how many hours I spend working as I lean more into this stage of motherhood. This is the busiest time of year though I leaned hard into work. Grateful…
This is a niche gift guide for…. the needlepointers in your life! Honestly needlepointers are easy to please and delight. Even a gift card to their favorite LNS (needlepoint store) would be well received and I guarantee you will make their day. There are always more canvases and more thread and more accessories to hoard,…
I’m not exactly feeling my best physically at the moment and so when I find something that I feel great in, I want to shout it from the rooftops. I keep reaching for this sweater dress when I need to dress up a little bit or whenever I need a little mood boost or whenever…
Grandparents are notoriously difficult to shop for! They seemingly have everything and “grandparent” also encompasses so many different age groups. I think the key here is to be thoughtful with your gifting. Are they an experience kind of person or someone who’s very sentimental? Do they have hobbies they love or want to explore more?…
When I think of holiday outfits, my brain almost always goes towards something to wear to a festive Christmas party. Always fun! But most days I’m just in casual outfits for everyday living. I still want to be festive though. When in doubt, wear red. I think red is my best color and I don’t…
This was such a fun guide for me to put together. I have always loved shopping for little kids, but wow it’s even more fun as a parent! I tried to really put this together thinking about what has worked for us (i.e. what’s tried and true) and also added a couple of things that…
Here’s what I’ve been up the past two weeks according to my camera roll…. My sister came into town and helped me so much with this MacKenzie Childs campaign and, of course, we had a lot of fun with Mr. Jack. Soooo much time at the park and biking and scootering around town. We do a…
My favorite gift guide every year to put together…. GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS! I feel like people who like books are actually very easy to shop for. (Like who wouldn’t want just a big gift card to their favorite book store or, better yet, an in person shopping spree!) Luckily for us, there are also…
✨ 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 🤪
