I fell off my schedule for this a little bit, so this one is going to cover a bit more ground than usual! Also can’t believe I’ve done 75 of these diary posts so far. They’re one of my personal favorites to write because it feels so old school blogging. Sometimes the everyday doesn’t feel…
I just had to check my calendar twice to make sure it was actually time to write this week’s On My Radar post. I feel like time was suspended a bit this week? I struggled big time with anxiety this week so maybe that’s why everything felt so off. It’s been an ongoing struggle trying…
Father’s Day is June 19th! I’m not sure what it is about picking out gifts for guys, but it always seems to be a little more difficult than shopping for the ladies in my life. Nonetheless, I’ve rounded up some great options that are dad-approved, so whoever you’re shopping for this year, hopefully, there’s a…
A bit of a stream of consciousness post again! Here are the first ten things that came to mind… KINDLE // I think I may have talked about Kindle before. I used to have a Nook (do they even make those anymore?!) and absolutely loved it. Then I went back to reading “real” books. And…
This week was SUCH a good week for our little family. We had a great taste of summer with beautiful weather and lots of time outdoors with friends! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We got together with a bunch of our neighbors last weekend. When Mike and I moved to our street, we were the youngest couple…
A month ago I splurged on the Hatch Restore. It’s an alarm clock, reading light, sound machine, etc. It’s supposed to increase your quality of sleep, which I’ve been working on for a while. This had been on my personal wishlist for a bit and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Finally went…
I typically share these top sellers on Instagram, but thought I could start rounding them up on my blog too. Typically these end up being questions I get a lot, too, so hopefully you find this helpful! BEST SLIP UNDER $20 // STRAW MESSENGER BAG // BLUE FLORAL DRESS // STRIPED SHIRT // BASKET FLARE…
One of my goals this month is to squeeze in more date nights! Now that Jack is getting a little older, Mike and I have been focusing on carving out more time to spend just the two of us outside of the house. Usually, we’ll get a sitter or Mike’s sister to come over after…
After traveling so much and feeling out of a routine, this week was a welcome change. I decided to get in the car with Jack extra early on Monday. It sounds lame, but I was just ready to get home and get started on our laundry 🤣 The pond club we belong to had their…
#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
