Easy Summer Makeup for Glowy Skin

Summer for me usually means less makeup, more bronzer and lots of SPF. And now that life in the newborn and toddler stage  are both in full swing, I don't have quite as much time for getting ready like before. It's key for me to find products that work well and won't melt off my face (like this all-in-one face palette or tinted BB Cream with SPF from Nordstrom)  I've found a routine that works great for me and leaves me with that glowy summer skin that I desperately want to achieve. This look is breathable, has SPF and still gives you a little coverage even without an actual foundation. Need I say more? ...

What to Shop From Amazon Prime Day Sales

Amazon Prime Day Sales start today so I wanted to share the items that stood out to me. As you might know, the sale lasts two days only (today and tomorrow) and essentially, items go on sale for a limited amount of time (until they are 100% 'claimed' or sold out). So, it's a little tricky to shop, but if you're patient, you can find some serious deals which you can see here. From home to fashion to kids stuff and tech, they mark down thousands of items. Below are some favorites, either items I have and love or ones with great reviews. Reminder that you can shop all my Amazon favorites on my Storefront here. ...

My List of Baby Essentials After Having Two Kids

One of the most requested posts as of late has been my baby essentials or to link certain things I'm sharing for Charlie.  I know it's taken me some time to get around to it, but I wanted to make sure I could recommend and use some of these items on Charlie before publishing this. Between George and Charlie, there have been certain things that I didn't end up loving, but what you see below are things I can confidently recommend as my baby essentials. I hope it's helpful, and let me know if I left anything out. I'll share what we keep in the rolling cart soon, as I know that's another popular topic in my DMs. ...

The $29 Dress I’ve Worn Non-Stop Over the Last Few Years

I've shared this dress more times than I can count, and while I've shared it again and again on LTK, I thought it deserved its own blog post. At this point, it's by far one of my most worn items in my closet...and did I mention that it's $29? Yep, one of the best Amazon Fashion finds ever. I've dressed it up with heels, dressed it down with sneakers, and usually tend to throw it on with sandals as a cover-up or easy summer option. It works well with a bump, too! Should I keep going? ...

May Top 10

Phew, it's been a whirlwind of a month and I just want to say 'thank you' for hanging in there while I'm not as active on IGS and everything else. I know everyone understands, but there's definitely a part of this job that makes you feel out of it if you're not working and posting, even on maternity leave. ...

What to Gift New Mamas

After sharing a thoughtful care package idea for new moms last week, I had some of you ask for more ideas, which I loved putting together. I've been on both sides - being the friend who wants to give a new mama a gift, and always being a new mom going through the tough newborn stage, so I think I have a good sense of what's helpful. Obviously every woman is different but I don't think you can go wrong with something cozy, something relaxing, something monogrammed, or something lux that you know she'll love. ...
