I can’t believe we are one week out from Halloween. We have so many fun Halloween activities planned between now and then and, honestly, I’m living for all of them. I don’t even think Jack knows how fun the actual trick-or-treating part will be 🙊 I can’t wait! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Honestly the whole week…
I’ve recently been making a concerted effort to really be who I want to be. I think between years of the pandemic and simultaneously becoming a mom during that time, I kind of fell off the tracks. Especially now that I’m pregnant again, I realized I had been cutting corners in so many places in my…
This is my uniform right now. I’ve always been a “jeans and sweater” kind of girl and I wasn’t sure how this would work or even translate while pregnant. I lived in smocked dresses while pregnant with Jack and postpartum (who was born in August) but this fall/winter pregnancy is going to be different. Thankfully, I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks, according to my camera roll. After an unlucky start to soccer, it’s in full swing now and it’s been a blast! Jack is loving it way more than I could have imagined and it’s a bright spot in our weekends. It’s incredibly muddy…
I am feeling quite fulfilled at the end of this week. I feel like I had a good balance of everything in my life– which rarely happens! Getting an even balance across the board is pretty impossible, but every week, I really aim to fill each of my cups up in a meaningful way. Jack…
Jeans are an absolute staple for my wardrobe and I couldn’t imagine going through the fall and winter without a few solid pairs of jeans I can rely on. I have grown to love a wide leg jean and think they are an absolute must have and also very much on trend right now. Over…
Up until five years ago, I hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since sixth grade (except in the case of a college party or two). I wouldn’t say I’m a big costume person, but over time I have had fun putting together some of the best Halloween costume ideas for women. Plus, now that we have…
Can you tell it’s sweater and jeans season for me… And my feet are already swollen so lots of sneakers! After kind of a rough week, we had a much needed nice weekend. I got to see my best friend (and “get away” for a night) and also had some fun fall activities with Jack,…
Did we go apple picking again? WE DID. My sister in law and I made it happen with four kids in tow. She was really the miracle worker in getting all three girls to agree to wearing matching outfits 😉 Jack and I rushed over to the orchard after an OBGYN appointment and it was…
✨ 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 🤪
