Only five outfits this week. I’m feeling a lot better now that I’m in my second trimester, but some days I’m still pretty drained. I’ve been leaning into leggings and t-shirts more than I actually want to. (Putting on a cute outfit does help mentally… sometimes I just don’t have it in me 😜.) LAST WEEK’S…
I’ve hesitated writing this, but it’s something that keeps coming up as a common “fear” and I wanted to kind of talk about it. Probably once a day, someone sends me a message to say how glad they are to follow me because they just found out that they’re pregnant with a boy and feel…
As you know, I’ve been swept away by the amazing fall clothes coming up. However, it’s still August and it’s still hot, hot, hot. Whew! I’ve been having a bit of whiplash while getting ready in the morning because I need to wear my summer clothes, but I’m craving the fall color palette that I love…
I have been on the hunt for a desk lamp for my new office space. I don’t really need one in terms of light– my office gets the best natural light– but I felt like my desk was missing something. Lamps add the perfect coziness vibe, too. There are so many options out there that I’m…
I had a fairly productive week, which felt amazing. I had absolutely been letting certain balls drop from a mixture of travel, exhaustion, and overwhelm. It felt good to get things done. This weekend should be nice and low-key, too. My favorite kind of summer weekend! Dress (on sale!) // Sunglasses // Phone Crossbody Here’s…
I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I am over summer. This heat has truly gotten to me and the first trimester (with an active toddler) took a lot out of me! It honestly seems to be the consensus from all of my mom friends, pregnant or not. We’ve had a great time, especially…
Since starting the 1,000 Hours Outside challenge, we’ve spent a lot less time in our playroom. And even though it’s the middle of the summer, I’ve already started thinking about how we’ll keep our energetic toddler occupied once the weather cools down. Honestly I’m more than happy with our playroom setup, but I’ve definitely caught…
A bit of a short week of outfits. I really didn’t get dressed beyond cozy clothes and workout pieces while we were vacationing upstate. So picking up this week with two outfits on Friday to sort of make up for it. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Hands down, the win for last week was Jack’s birthday. I…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // A Movie Era Years ago, I was obsessed with going to the movies. I had that MoviePass…
✨ 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 🤪
