I’ll admit it – I love higher end makeup products and don’t mind splurging on bronzers, blushes, foundations, finishing powders and more. But one product that I find myself using almost exclusively drugstore products for is mascara. I’ve used high-end mascaras that are great too, but I keep going back to these affordable ones that give amazing ...

Hi ladies! Happy Tuesday! So much has sold out from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but I'm updating as popular items go back in stock so don't forget to follow along on Instagram and Facebook. I thought I would share some beauty favorites from the sale and mini reviews. I tried to be really selective for this post so I'm only sharing holy grail ...
How to Use a Curling Wand + Hair Styling Favorites
I'm SO excited for this post because I'm finally sharing my NEW hair curling routine so many of you have been asking about. Seriously, where was this curling wand my whole life? To rewind a bit, I've been using a curling iron with a clip for years and was really happy with those curls. I would often see women with more beachy/undone/mermaid waves ...
Spring Beauty Favorites – Skin Care + Makeup
When I was thinking about writing a Spring beauty post, I thought about what most evokes Spring to me when I think about makeup --- and those things were fresh and glowing skin, pink and brightness. With these things in mind, I'm sharing the products I'm loving for spring --- including skin care products that I ordered from Nordstrom. With free ...
Friday Five
(the cutest little bee earrings, here) I'm back with another Friday Five...but if I'm being perfectly honest, I’d like to call this week a write off. On Tuesday morning I woke up with a ball in the pit of my stomach and was pretty nauseous but I (stupidly) ignored it and went to my morning workout (mistake! mistake! abort mission!) I told ...

Briefly, though, let's press ...
Laundry Hacks + How to Get Out Tough Stains
You know the saying "boys get really messy?" I'm not sure I believed that was true. Maybe I even rolled my eyes a few times when people said it. Then, my son started eating solids and he's the messiest eater ever, to the point that he enjoys spreading food around in his hair. When he gets up from his high chair, even when wearing a bib, his food ...

The Best Nursing, Pumping & Post-Baby Bras
Confession time: (don't you love it when a post starts like this?) I have not worn a real bra in over two years. Yup...Two. Years. I got used to wearing stretchy nursing bras and sports-bra like bras when I was exclusively pumping for Harper because they held my pumping parts in place (I was able to pump hands-free) and are so comfortable. Then, ...
