This is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever worn! It feels like a dream and the twirlability (which isn’t a word, but it feels like it should be…) is 10/10. This is my first Abbey Glass dress and it certainly won’t be my last. I have had my eye on a few of…
A few weeks ago, Mike and I journeyed out to Colorado to attend the wedding of Victoria and her husband! OG blog readers will remember Little V and all the fun we had in college. She was my very first friend at Georgetown, actually. I had gone up during my senior year of high school…
An eventful two weeks to say the least! Here’s some of the fun things I’ve been up to according to my camera roll…. We got back from Little V’s wedding late Sunday night and scooped Jack up from my SILs house first thing on Monday morning. I was eager to see him. Literally couldn’t wait to…
After a crazy week, it was a relief to have a normal non-eventful week around here! Phew! Nothing makes you appreciate “boring” like some real craziness. I am so looking forward to this weekend. No real plans other than going to our pond for “simming” (as Jack likes to say) and hanging in our backyard (the…
I’m so excited for the Fourth of July! We’ll be on Nantucket again this year and I can’t wait to go to the beach and get an ice cream cone from The Juice Bar! As for what to wear, there are so many great outfit ideas for the Fourth of July, whether you’re heading to a…
Men can be notoriously difficult to shop for, and if you’ve waited until now to start shopping for Father’s Day, I can’t blame you! I’m still always surprised and impressed by the assortment Amazon has available for two day shipping (this is what I bought in May!) and wanted to share some of my favorite…
It’s Tuesday, so you know what that means… Time for another week of outfits! It’s a short week because I was sick last Tuesday and didn’t get a chance to snap a picture of my outfit. Now that I’m thinking back to what we did all week, it feels like it was an absolute blur!…
Sorry this took me so long to put together. I had a bunch of requests to share before and afters of our home design so you can compare…. I had to go deep into my camera roll to find good representations. (Why didn’t I think to do it before we started the redesign?! IDK but…
I usually shy pretty far away from color. Maybe I’ll reach for something fun if I’m attending a special event. For everyday life though? The simpler the better. Except… right now I’m gravitating towards color much more than normal. It’s gotten to the point where it feels very out of character. When I open my…
✨ 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 🤪
