This might as well be a sponsored post for Target because all but one of the pieces is from there. With a new baby on the way, we’ve been reevaluating a lot of the storage in our house– kids toy storage especially. The focus has been on our playroom for obvious reasons, even though it’ll…
Oh last week was a good one!! So many of my friends, including myself, have been feeling extremely burnt out this summer. It’s crazy how it doesn’t matter where we live, how many kids we have/if we have kids, what their ages are…. we’re all having the same feeling of burn out. Maybe because I…
My friend Fran just did this blog post ahead of her own birthday and I thought it was such a clever idea. I already bought myself my birthday present because I couldn’t wait, this is just a list totally for fun– and let me tell you, it was fun to put together. Dreaming up a totally…
It’s been so nice to have a beautiful space to go to work. I’ve been going almost every day while Jack is in daycare and I haven’t felt this inspired in a while, and forgot how nice it is to have a dedicated office space! On that note, it got me thinking about workwear. I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll the last couple of weeks! I love going on little dates with Jack. We’ve been doing this since he was a baby and I think it really helps with restaurant etiquette. (Or at the very least easing my own nerves dining out with a…
Happy (almost) weekend! I’m having a solo weekend (just the dogs and me) and I really can’t wait. I plan on tackling some big organizational projects around the house that are hard to do with a little toddler in tow. Excited to roll my sleeves up and get to work. And maybe sleep in…. although…
Hill House just gave me a code for readers of my blog! You can use CARLY20 to get 20% full priced items. USE CODE CARLY20 FOR 20% OFF FULL PRICED HILL HOUSE STYLES. I received some questions about this nap dress after I shared it, so I thought I would add more thoughts. I think…
I love a Tuckernuck new arrivals day! With fall on the horizon, I’m adding a couple of transition pieces to my wardrobe that I can wear as the temps cool down. They have definitely leaned into the chic outfit vibe and, considering my personal fall vibe ideas, I’m here for it. The cozy sweaters and cute jackets…
I know it’s still hot out, but…. fall is so close I can taste it. I’ve already posted about fall outfit ideas (I’m SO impressed with J.Crew’s assortment) but I’m in the mood to cover some fall wedding guest dresses too. Depending on where you are in the season, the weather can be drastically different,…
✨ 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 🤪
