Welcome back to beauty week on the blog! I made a Sephora order this past weekend and I wanted to share the items I purchased because they're all highly reviewed and I cannot wait to try them (of course I'll share whether or not I like them after I use them for a few weeks!) Y'all know I've been big on serums this year because I'm trying to make ...
Five Ways to Help Sensitive Skin
*This post is sponsored by Aveeno®. All opinions are my own* Over the years, I’ve shared my skin struggles – from dealing with hormonal acne in my 20s, to chronic hives that I still deal with today, to generally having reactive skin – it’s no secret to any of y’all that my skin hasn’t been the easiest to care for. However, with the right habits ...
Spring Beauty Favorites
Spring is just around the corner, and there's nothing I love more than fresh, glowing skin with washes of pink all over. Bright pink tones that are sheer, but buidlable, are my go-to for makeup because I find they make me look fresh and youthful and bring much-needed color to my fair complexion. I favor simple, easy everyday makeup that any woman ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday -- hope you enjoy today's five! O N E I’ve had some IKEA frames purchased for months with the intention of creating a gallery wall in our upstairs hallway. It will be all family photos, so it feels like a great fit to have it in the hall where all of our bedrooms are. The idea of hanging a gallery wall can be super intimidating with ...
Kayla Itsines BBG & SWEAT App FAQs
Now that I’m on week 4 of Kayla Itsine’s BBG program, I thought I would do a Q&A since I get so many questions about the program. I did an Instagram Live about it a couple of weeks ago, but it was only saved for 24 hours. I hope this is helpful for anyone curious about the BBG program/Sweat app! What is BBG? BBG or “bikini body guide” is a ...
Healthy Banana Bread + A Giveaway
Hello and happy Monday! Y'all know I don't like to cook -- but something I actually LOVE to do is bake, even though I'm the messiest baker ever. I kind of embrace it as part of the process and let the chaos flow. There's nothing greater than making kitchen counters sparkling clean again as you smell whatever's baking in the oven, am I ...
Scalloped Swimsuit Splurges + STEALS!
Scalloped swimsuits are a weakness for me. Every time I see one, I think, I NEED THIS. I found a ton this year at varying price points so I wanted to share those with you today. I personally ordered this top, these bottoms and this one piece. All three options are super affordable -- but I'm also sharing swimsuits in the mid price range and a few ...
January Office Style Favorites
Good morning (or evening if you're reading then) and happy Monday! It's hard to believe the first month of 2018 is almost coming to an end. I'm sharing two office-friendly finds today that I purchased at Nordstrom -- and both are under $40! I love finding affordable items to mix and match with pricier pieces in my wardrobe, like my beloved ...
Three Ways to Style a Long-Sleeved Dress
When this dress arrived from Sonnet James, I immediately knew it would be a classic piece that will be on-trend no matter how many years go by. I wore it to work yesterday with black tights and booties! The reese dress has just enough stretch and shape to be flattering but isn't skin tight or a bodycon style, which as a mom of two, I appreciate ...
Recent Target Loves
Target is my happy place – it’s one of the only stores I actually enjoy going to (I hate crowded malls). Lately though, I’ve actually been ordering a lot of stuff from Target online since they offer free shipping on orders over $35 and they often carry items online that aren’t available or out of stock in stores (btw, this is not sponsored, my love ...
