Father’s Day 2019 Gift Ideas

It's Austin's first Father's Day and I can't wait to make this day extra special for him. For his gifts, I went with something  small and sentimental and something fun for him and George to do as he grows up. Ahh, so excited. When shopping for the perfect gift, I came across a few that would be worth noting if you are still trying to hunt down the perfect gift for your Dad, Grandpa or Baby Daddy. Many of these have free 2-day shipping so you will get them just in time! My personal faves include the Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum  (Austin wears this), Tool Organizer and of course the AirPods with Charging Case. ...

The Ultimate Guide to a Nude Lip

It's no secret I love a nude lip. It's my go-to lip color for every day and something I feel the most comfortable in. However, finding the right shade can be a bit tricky. I'm a firm believer that if you have one you love, it can be the most versatile color in your makeup bag. Wear it alone or pair with a bolder color and you can easily create multiple looks. I'm often showing different swatches on neutral lipsticks on here or my Instagram Stories, but lately, I've been seeing more questions pop up asking about my holy grail nude lipsticks. You know, the ones that never leave my purse or I keep purchasing over and over again because they are in fact, just that good.  Below I've sourced my top recommendations and a little tip I picked up over the years to help give you that "perfect pout". I swear, every time I do this, people ask if I got my lips done. For the record, I haven't, but it makes me feel good to know my lips look full.  ...

Ah, I am so excited to finally share this little spring style guide with you. I always look forward to sharing new content with you and although this season has been a little tricky with shooting projects and still "taking it easy", I really love how this turned out. Even if we did have to take little breaks between each dress. Ha. I've had so many requests for maternity dresses, maternity workwear, non-maternity dresses etc. that I wanted to compile a small list of spring dresses I love, wear often and can check the box of both maternity and non-maternity. Are you out of breath from just from reading that? No, just me?  ...
