One Less Thing to Stress About in December 🎄

Hi friend! Holiday parties have a way of sneaking up on us, and suddenly you're standing in your closet 30 minutes before you need to leave with absolutely nothing to wear. Our first holiday party is just 3 weeks away (!!!) so instead of buying an overpriced outfit at Anthropologie only to wear it once, I'm thinking ahead and finding a couple outfits TODAY that I can wear all November and December (and beyond). I love so many of the ones below because they can be mixed and matched well beyond...

Happy Tuesday! If you're anything like me, you're slowly trying to check off Christmas boxes now before the craziness of Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas takes over. I grabbed the kids' teacher gifts already as well as some other kid gifts over prime day and I just saw that Target dropped their Christmas pajamas!! We have a tradition in our house (that started when I was a little kid) to gift the kids new pjs on Christmas Eve. Everyone knows that this is what they're getting but it helps curb...

Hi friend! Happy Labor Day! It's the last day to shop tons of Labor Day sales and here's the ones that are actually worth shopping! Top Amazon Sales: My everyday foundation - the IT CC cream (I wear 10N) is 20% off! Perfect for sun protection and great coverage. The viral sheet mask that I always buy to add to my kids' teacher gifts for Christmas (and save a few for myself). I am obsessed with these chargers and always have them on hand. I let a friend use one at our kids' soccer game and she...

Hi friend! I don’t know about you, but it is still COLD here in Minnesota! I went for a run outside today and let me tell you — I will be very happy when I no longer have to bundle up just to step outside. On a happier note, I’ve had so many of you asking for help taking the guesswork out of what to wear in the morning, so below you’ll find a variety of outfit ideas you can easily recreate using pieces already in your closet. And if you’d rather shop the looks, I’ve linked everything for you...

Hi friend! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Here you'll find the 3 best sellers you’ve all been obsessed with + 3 fun finds I've been loving that you're seeing first. Let’s dive in! This foundation/concealer stick is SO easy to use - I'm wishing I would have bought it forever ago! Blends so well and you can always add a bit more for extra coverage. They also gave me a code for a free mini mascara (code: FREELASH). I use color sand in the stick! This ribbed tank top is so high quality and crazy...

Hi friend! I think we all can agree that packing for trips is one of the most stressful parts of traveling. If you're like me and constantly overpacking because "WHAT IF I want to wear this sweatshirt that I forgot I owned and haven't worn in 3 years while away on a beach vacation"?! 😂 Over the years I've learned it's best to pack using a color palette. While that feel a little boring it will actually open up the possibilities in your suitcase to create so many different outfit combinations...

Hi friend! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Today I'm wrapping up February's top sellers for you all - there's some good ones! But first, here's 3 things that happened with me in February: Our neighborhood puts on a Valentine's delivery day where you can drop off Valentine's to any neighbor that's participating. My kids LOVE running through the neighborhood dropping off cards! 10/10 recommend doing something like with your own neighborhood next year! We said goodbye to our sweet dog Chloe after...

Hi friend! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Here you'll find the 3 best sellers you’ve all been obsessed with + 3 fun finds I've been loving that you're seeing first. Let’s dive in! If every jogger you try is either too short or too long, try these joggers! They come in 3 lengths, perfect for girls of all sizes. A few months ago I got a new eyelash curler and opted for the cheap, $3 one. It was HORRIBLE. I suffered through for about a month and finally splurged on this one (that's still under...

Hi friend! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Here you'll find the 3 best sellers you’ve all been obsessed with + 3 fun finds I've been loving that you're seeing first. Let’s dive in! These under eye patches are so affordable yet do just as good of a job as their more expensive counterpart. Over 9k were sold just in the past month! One bottle of this will last you quite literally forever but regardless of that it's the best at removing makeup - even that stubborn eye makeup! The viral snap style...

Hi friend! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Today I'm wrapping up January's top sellers for you all - there's some good ones! These joggers are quite literally the best of the best. They've been a top seller every month since fall of 2024. And they're on sale!! My favorite Levi's that I wear all year round - size up one if you're in between sizes. A wider version of Levi's? Yes, please! Apple watch wearers, get this watch band to instantly elevate your look (that's only $10). I own this batwing...
