The perfect dress doesn’t exi–…. We need to talk about Doen’s fall collection. I swear everything they touch is just magic. I have worn a few of their dresses this year in particular and just love how they make me feel. Well-made with dainty details. Somehow they strike the perfect balance of easy femininity. Most…
It has been a goal of mine for a while to cook more. I even did a midyear check in where I wanted to step up and really commit to doing this. When you’re making a goal, you’re supposed to make it measurable and all that good stuff. For me, I wanted to set a…
An October Friday the 13th?! Spooky! This week was a bit of a tough one. I was feeling a little under the weather to begin with, then add some weird pregnancy symptoms, and devastating world events… I’ve been trying to stay positive. I’m actually going to see my best friend in Boston today for an…
I just love fall athleisure! I’ll take any chance to throw on a cozy pullover with leggings for a day running errands, chasing Jack around the park, or hanging out at home. We have been having the best crisp fall mornings, and I honestly can’t explain how much joy our morning walks have brought me…
I love dressing for fall, but my growing bump makes it harder for me to feel motivated and be creative. Roundups like the best fall boots and best cashmere sweaters still have me dreaming of fall outfit ideas though…. so I thought it’d be fun to go through the archives of the past few years!…
This week was a little bit of everything in terms of life and weather. We had a 90 degree day and we had to turn our heat on for the first time! It’s just that time of year. My parents were also in town for the weekend– unfortunately, the big fall festival they came for…
Wow am I thankful sweater dresses are totally in right now. There are so many great styles to choose from…. and they make getting dressed in the fall with a bump a breeze. I felt the same way about smocked dresses in 2021 when I was pregnant with Jack. Finding a style that I feel good…
Here’s what we’ve been up to the past two weeks according to my camera roll…. We have made numerous trips to the Farm at Green Village for pumpkins and mums. It’s such a good kid-friendly outing too. Jack was cracking up that the skeleton was “taking a bath.” This is my favorite spot for picking…
Had such a nice week! It was pretty low-key and that’s just the way I like it! Jack had his first field trip and I got to tag along. I really, really loved the baby days of motherhood (and can’t wait to experience it again next year), but wow it is awesome getting to do…
✨ 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 🤪
