One of the things I miss most about normal life, by far, is seeing family and friends. I miss my weekly coffee catch-ups with girlfriends, weekends with family, and grabbing drinks with friends. I even miss work meetings! While this continues, we're making sure to stay connected to loved ones and I honestly think it helps my mindset so much. On the days where I don't have human contact with anyone outside my house (love my boys!), I definitely feel off. ...
I admit, it's been hard to pull myself together when I'm not leaving the house these days. But after searching for more ways to stay motived and on a schedule with George and Austin (more on schedules coming later this week), I actually found that if I "get ready" I am more productive. Have you noticed that too? ...
It seems like forever ago that I shared the only sandals I'm buying for summer, and let's just say I had to change up my thinking a bit. While I'm still all about those trends listed (and dying to wear them, TBH), the only thing actually being worn lately are slippers and slides. I'm trying to step my game up by reaching for slides rather than slippers every. single. day., and even a little shift like that makes me feel more pulled together. I may be in sweats 99% of the time, but at least I'm also wearing a more chic shoe, right? ...
The big Sephora sales are few and far between and if you are itching to update your beauty routine, now is the time to shop. Sephora just kicked off their Spring Savings Event and giving Rouge members first access to get 20% off their total purchase. But not to worry if you aren't a Rouge member -- beauty Insiders and VIB members will still have a chance to shop later this week. ...
Anyone else been getting 10x more use out of their kitchen lately? Same. Aus and I both have been working really hard this year on cleaning up our diets and trying to strike more of that "balance" they say is possible. For the most part it's been going well, but I have to admit, this quarantine situation has me craving all the delicious baked goods and junk food. Honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's this craving that led me to start experimenting with cookie recipes and you guys, I think I landed on a serious winner! ...
First, how is everyone doing with the craziness happening in the world right now? Sometimes I honestly can't even believe that this is our reality. But, Austin and I are doing our best to stay home and be positive.
We don't want to stress too much and have George pick up on that energy, so honestly, we're doing everything we can to distract ourselves with fun, family-oriented activities while quarantined. I figured a lot of you are going through the same emotions, so I wanted to create a little bit of a resource for you guys.
I shared a similar list in my newsletter last week but saw such a response I wanted to give this info a permanent home on the blog and on Pinterest so you can pin this post or either of the graphics below so you can save for later. Or, you can also right-click (on desktop) or click and hold (on your phone) to save the graphics so you can reference them any time! ...
Since I've had this extra time at home, I've made it my mission to find things that make our home feel cozier and honestly, keep me sane. We all have different things to help us stay calm, cool and collected, but here are my top 5 at the moment. ...
It's hard to imagine swapping our loungewear for normal clothes, but there will be a day when we get back in the office and dress in something a bit more refreshing. And when you do, here are two easy uniforms that you can rely on. ...
There's a good chance, like me, you wear a ton of layers in the spring. A green utility jacket is pretty much a spring staple, but I've been looking for ways to update this classic look. I recently saw this modern version in a lightweight bomber style and figured it would be a great alternative to the green army jacket. ...
Last month, I bought the internet's favorite Jogger and Hoodie Set and haven't stopped wearing them. It's my fault I ended up with three different colors, but I find these sweatsuits to be the ultimate luxury these days.
Many of you have been requesting more of these matching jogger suits and while they seem to be selling out faster than ever, I've found a few good ones that are still in stock. I actually ended up buying three from this round-up -- can't wait to wear them next week. ...
