My 2022 Word + Goals

I don't know about you, but I love hearing other people's goals or resolutions. It's kind of like seeing what they have in their bag or grocery cart - I just find it interesting to get a glimpse into other people's lives like that. So with that, I wanted to share what my goals for this year are - plus, my word of the year. I'm going to be sharing some resources that I've created in my newsletter next week so if you're into goal setting or want to know my general resources for supporting my yearly goals, definitely sign up for that.

Holiday Outfits for the Boys

This post is written in sponsorship with Carter's, Afterpay and ShopStyle Collective When I found out I was having another boy, I knew right away I wanted to dress them in coordinating outfits while they were little. Especially during the holidays! Everyone always talks about how girls are so much fun to dress, and while that's probably true (I mean, they really do have so many more options) I absolutely love dressing my boys. Carter's has plenty of festive options if you're looking for matching outfits for the family or siblings. I found this Green Vest for George and this 2-piece Sweater + Corduroy Pant Set for Charlie and it was perfect for some holiday photos. ...

How To: Bent Curls Hair Tutorial

I have really enjoyed having my hair shorter. It's honestly so much easier to style and less to manage. And as a mom of two little boys, I am all about the easy-button these days. One hairstyle that I have been particularly gravitating towards is the bent curls look. Or as my hairdresser calls it "fettuccine noodles". It's my favorite way to style my hair and it looks really good on Day 2, which means less work for me. Win-win. I've been using the Limited Edition Holiday Gold 1" Styler to achieve this look. This styler can be used to flat iron, curl or create waves. Think of it as an all-in-one type of tool for heat styling. The ghd Gold Styler utilizes dual-zone technology for premium performance so you only need to do one pass through your hair. It has two next-generation heat sensors, one across each plate, to control the optimum styler temperature of 365ºF constantly and evenly from root to tips making it easy to curl or straighten hair. I got it at Nordstrom and it would make the perfect gift for the beauty lover. Keep reading if you want a step-by-step look at how I get these bent curls. ...
