As I've gotten further into my 30s, my obsession with beauty has taken a hard turn into all things skincare. OK so I'm still obsessed with makeup and hair, but I will say I spend more time and money on my skincare these days. I'd much rather get my skin right and then need to wear less makeup to feel confident. Plus, since having George, let's just say the time I can dedicate to makeup routines has decreased significantly. ...
Today I'm honored to be back with another '5 Women On' topic. You might remember that I asked a handful of inspiring women to share how they're balancing motherhood + Quarantine back in April (which is still just as relevant). The article got a great response and I truly enjoyed learning from the other mothers in the article, and it sounds like you did, too. With that, I wanted to keep this going. ...
If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know I love to find a good deal on designer accessories. I often buy pre-loved or take advantage of designer sales like the Nordstrom Designer Clearance Sale when I'm looking to add to my collection. ...
When anyone asks me where to find a pair of cheap (but cute) sunglasses or an oversized t-shirt, my first answer is always Amazon. You really can't beat the shipping speed. Which answers why we usually have a package or two each week at our doorstep. I mean, with a baby and the fact that I hardly leave the house, it's easy for those Prime packages to add up. ...
We are finally starting to see what will be in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 catalog this year! This year is a little different in that there will be no paper catalog. Instead, we get to preview the catalog before the sale starts. Your first look is below! ...
I think we can all agree it feels good to actually get ready these days. Even if it is just to pick up coffee or groceries. And since I'm not wanting to invest in a big summer wardrobe at the moment, these under $50 basics have been ideal. ...
If you read his 1-Year Update, you know that George is now 14 months and officially a walker. He's changed so much over the last few months and let's just say keeping him entertained is harder than when he was a baby. He definitely likes to be on the move and switching things up constantly. And now that we're all at home and trying to work while entertaining him, I've tried just about every activity suggested to keep him entertained. If you're a mama to a child around George's age, I thought it would be helpful to compile what's worked best for us. ...
It's been a while since I shared my thoughts on batching tasks and I realized it's not something I've talked about enough - at least in terms of how much I value it. First up, if you aren't familiar with what time batching is, it's essentially grouping similar tasks together. From answering emails for an hour straight to running all errands while I'm already out of the house to shooting a lot of content at once (while I'm in full makeup and hair), I batch non-stop. It's something that became even more important once I had limited time as mom and then even more important once Quarantine went into play and we didn't have childcare. ...
We all love an easy dinner recipe and if you're trying to stick with a low-carb lifestyle, here are a few meals that we have been enjoying lately.
Since starting F-Factor in January, we've had trouble finding low-carb meals that are 1. satisfying and 2. easy to make. This list checks both boxes for us. My personal favorites are the Garlic Crispy Brussel Sprouts and the Tortilla Pizza.
Let me know what you think if you try any of these! ...
Is anyone else loving what's coming out of H&M lately? I'm personally really into their inventory right now and love how their prices always feel fair on the wallet. Especially when it comes to their Summer 2020 dress situation, I'm kinda loving it all. From the puff sleeve trend to easy pieces to throw on for mom life, here are 12 dresses that you need to see. Oh, and even if you don't end up buying anything, head to their site for great styling inspiration (I'm liking Mango for styling inspo as well). ...
