Sharing some inexpensive Christmas presents under $20 for this year that are perfect little gifts for friends and coworkers or could also go in stockings. I love gifting practical items they’ll use and enjoy in the long-term, like a favorite face wash, a new Yeti tumbler, and cozy socks. But of course, you can’t go…
This was my lightest reading month of the year (I think), but it’s mainly because two of the books took me a while to get through! MEREDITH ALONE by Claire Alexander 4/5 Stars If you read and loved Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, you will like the vibes of this book. But if you read Eleanor Oliphant and…
We had a great week. Half down in Florida celebrating Thanksgiving with my family and half back here at home recovering from all the travel. Let me tell you, traveling with a 15 month old is not for the faint of heart 😉 But I’ll give Jack some major credit and say that it went…
I have to share these photos before we turn the calendar to December! My friend Sam and I so wish we lived closer to each other– but it’s always a good excuse for us to “meet in the middle” in NYC. We’ve been going to Central Park and it’s the perfect place to get a…
I’m trying to get ahead this year and plan out Christmas presents for Jack. I have to confess that I didn’t get Jack anything for Christmas last year. Leading up to Christmas, it felt weird to get a four month old Christmas gifts, but of course, I was so guilty on Christmas morning for not…
Happy Thanksgiving! Keeping things short and sweet today – I rounded up some of the best Black Friday sales with my top picks from each retailer. I recommend shopping on a desktop for an easier time swiping through my selections. Enjoy! J. Crew // 50% off your purchase with code SHOPEARLY J. Crew Factory // 50-70%…
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. I love giving personalized gifts, especially to family members. This post is in partnership with Shutterfly– a one-stop shop for customized and personalized gifts. I had too much fun creating all these gifts and I can’t wait to wrap each one up and give to the various recipients. You really could…
It was a full happy week, but one with uninspired outfits. Just over here trying to keep it real. 😉 LAST WEEK’S WIN: Elsa had her baby shower on Saturday and it was such a wonderful day! I was thrilled to get to celebrate her and her baby who will be here before we know…
The pickleball craze is taking over, and I can’t get enough! I started playing a few years ago as a fun pandemic activity but took a break when I was pregnant. There are so many courts around us now, and I’m getting back into it. I signed up for beginner group lessons at our pond…
#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

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
