Here’s what I bought on Amazon in September according to my order history! Some things to get in the fall spirit, a few pieces of clothing for me, and fun things for Jack. Nest Pumpkin Chai Candle // Nest’s holiday candles are the best!! I think they’re worth it because they burn so well and…
I’ve already posted about the best sweaters for women this past month, but now it’s time to narrow in on the best cashmere sweaters specifically. I am a big, big fan of the soft coziness of cashmere– and being able to wrap myself in comforting luxury. Best Cashmere Sweaters 2023 Crewneck Sweater // V-Neck Sweater…
We had such a nice week here! Feels like our town is coming back to life after a sleepy summer. Activities, play dates, back to school events. You can feel the routine settling in all around. LAST WEEK’S WIN: The biggest win was definitely having Jack’s first real soccer lesson! We had been cursed with rain…
I meant to share these earlier! Jack and I went on a quick little apple picking excursion and it was the perfect afternoon. Apple picking is always one of my favorite things to do in early fall as I think it sets the mood for the rest of the season. Normally we don’t actually have…
Honestly? Not my best month of reading. I almost skipped sharing this month and just lumped it into October so I had something a little more exciting to share. But keeping it real. Probably the biggest struggle is that I started The Secret History and committed quite a bit of time to the book, but ultimately…
I wanted to share two sales not to miss this weekend! One for some fun Halloween/fall goodies and one for Hatch Collection, which is a go-to for good maternity clothes. (No, that’s not an oxymoron in this case!) SHOP WAITING ON MARTHA | Use “ILOVEFALL” for 25% off “Boo” Tea Towel // Jack ‘O Lantern Pillow…
We have some fun family friendly weekend plans coming up. Last weekend felt like a total wash with non-stop rain, so we are all crossing our fingers we have at least a little bit of good weather. Here’s what has been on my radar: ONE // Five Things That Surprised Me About My Divorce I…
I’ve been feeling very inspired after our recent interior design projects. I love our grand millennial living room so much and couldn’t resist rounding up some adorable pieces of decor and tips for how to decorate a coffee table. Joie Coffee Table Book // Home Therapy Book // Blue Poppy Painted Wavy Bowl // Woven…
Because Jack was born in the middle of August, I was able to spend a lot of my pregnancy in flowy dresses. Easy peasy. This time around? Not so much– I’ll be lucky if my coats fit me! I’m anticipating a lot of “open” styling if anything. Though it’s certainly tempting to scoop up something…
✨ 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 🤪
