As a mom, there are never enough hours in the day. Between my children, full-time job and this blog, time to relax and decompress can be hard to come by. Most of the time, when I have a free moment, I use that time to do things around the house, work on content, or run errands, instead of doing something relaxing for myself. The busy holiday ...

The Best Beauty Gifts for Your Bestie
It's safe to say that throughout our nearly 10-year friendship, Candice and I have often gone the pampering route when we buy gifts for one another. Whether it's a favorite perfume, spa services or cosmetic splurges, we've always enjoyed treating one another to beauty-related gifts. I know it seems early to be thinking about holiday gifting (after ...
My Morning Beauty Routine + Beauty Tips for Working Moms
I get asked all the time how I "do it all" and, spoiler alert, I definitely don't! I don't always stay on top of everything that needs to get done and my endless to-do list, but something I think I've perfected as much as I can is my morning getting-ready-for-work routine. I always opt to look polished for the office, but my beauty routine has to ...
Favorite Amazon Purchases Part Two
Before I start this post, I want to take a moment to express that though things on the blog will be "back to normal," that certainly isn't the case for our city. Rebuilding the city we love and call home will be a long process -- and one during which continued support is critical. I will continue to share opportunities to give, brands and shops ...
Favorite Amazon Purchases
One of my favorite bloggers Katey recently shared her favorite amazon purchases and I thought that was a really fun post idea! This is going to be the most random list ever spanning a ton of categories, so brace yourself, ha. We are Prime members (#notsponsored) and have been for years, and nothing beats having things delivered to your door in two ...
The BEST Drugstore Mascaras
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.

The Truth About Rodan + Fields: Do the Products Work?
Update: I no longer use Rodan and Fields products. You can read about my current skincare routine, here. If you haven't heard of Rodan + Fields, then you probably don't have Facebook, where scrolling through your feed, it seems like a third of your friends are selling it. It's a premium skin care line that promises to deliver amazing results, by ...
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 ...
