The holiday season is flying by so fast! I can’t believe Christmas is a little over two weeks away. I’m trying to soak up as many holiday festivities with Jack as possible, and I still need to wrap up a few decorating tasks and finish Christmas shopping. I have a couple of holiday occasions on…
It should come as no surprise that I love a good hair accessory. I really like how my hair looks down, but the reality of wearing it down can drive me crazy. Too humid? Frizz. Too dry? Static. Curls falling out, hair wash schedule, etc. I also just sometimes want it out of my face…
We had a good week here. Playdates, mini roadtrips, holiday festivities. Sometimes I crave a slower life, but I’m really grateful for all the fun we’re having. Most importantly Jack is genuinely having fun and really that’s all I care about right now. Doen top + pants (c/o) Here’s what has been on my radar:…
Since books are my love language, I wanted to round up some crowd-pleasing gifts for book lovers. Truthfully, I’d like one of everything for myself on this list! You can give one or two things on their own or an item with a book you think they’ll like. I love giving books for all sorts…
I have a good amount of nostalgia for very specific things. (My sister and I are constantly sending each other links, TikToks, songs, etc. that trigger memories!) I just love that feeling of seeing something that brings you right back to feel-good moments! At the beginning of the month, I brought out my holiday mugs…
I’m so sorry for the lack of post yesterday. We were having such a great Sunday that I just didn’t get it done. But we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming 😉 LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had the best time with our neighbors this weekend. (Hence the no blog post yesterday! Too much fun!) I…
Today I’m rounding up a few fun gifts for dog owners and furry friends to get your gears turning! As a dog mom, I like to get Teddy and Hamilton some fun treats around the holidays and wanted to share some gift ideas, whether you’re a pup parent like me or more “pup-adjacent.” I don’t…
It’s been a fun few weeks around here and we have a lot of catching up to do! Sarah O Jewelry sent me the nicest holiday gift. An extra dainty pave bar bracelet. I love that it’s an everyday bracelet but still feels fancy. Not too flashy. This boy. He’s 15 months old and just…
I started the week feeling a little overwhelmed– nothing crazy, just the usual holiday hustle and bustle. I have been a little bah humbug about the holidays. Last year, I think I was really going through it postpartum-wise (I was dealing with “stuff,” Jack was in a difficult transition, I was just in a bad…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ 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.usa
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
