I know there is a bit of controversy around wearing masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19, but I am 100% on board with doing whatever I can personally to aid in flattening the curve as much as possible. Where I live, we are not permitted to enter most public spaces (the few that have reopened) without wearing one. I will admit that most masks I have tried are uncomfortable, I cannot even begin to fathom what it is…
It’s officially peak mutiny in my house, and I’m going to have the scars to prove it. After taking a metal Matchbox Wonder Woman car (the irony) to my cartilage courtesy of my toddler, I’m stitched up and fine but permanently cosmetically scathed. A stylish friend suggested I start searching for an ear cuff, and now I feel like I need one even if I come out on the other side of this without a keloid. Here are the 10…
While this Memorial Day Weekend may look a little less social than years past, we can still treat ourselves while social distancing. BBQ’s, rose, with a side of online shopping are the much needed antidote. I’ll be updating this list as any breaking shopping news occurs. I got you. Here are the best Memorial Day sales hands down:…
While I won’t be going all out on my summer wardrobe shopping, I am looking forward to adding a few laid back updates and replacing some staples. Shopbop is now giving us 15% off orders of $300 or 25% of $600 or more off everything labeled Key Style with code JUST4U so we can do just that and save a little green. This sale includes sale items like this gorgeous Misa dress I currently have in my cart, and rarely…
One of my best online orders of the entire season last summer was a few swimsuits from Modcloth. I was just a couple weeks post partum when it dawned on me that my suits had seen better days, and I dreaded trying on swimwear after having my third baby. I bought several thinking I would like one or two and return the rest. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved them all. They are well made, flattering,…
I have tried self tanners in the past and had given up hope that any brand would ever work for me. My skin is on the browner side of the spectrum thanks to my Mexicana mama, but I sometimes want a little more even color on my legs and face. After week 6 of quarantine, I caught a glimpse in the mirror and thought I had seen a ghost (maybe I’m being dramatic but I feel it). My complexion looked…
I remember my first SoulCycle class better than my first kiss. It was a turning point after which I compared every spin class from that day forward, and Soul became the gold standard of cycling in my mind. When pre-orders of SoulCycle’s at-home bike launched amid social distancing and the imminent COVID-19 quarantine, I couldn’t have put down the deposit fast enough. I’ve been using it for two weeks now and here is my honest review of SoulCycle’s at-home bike:…
It’s moving season, and post-quarantine I feel a major moving boom on the horizon. We moved right before shelter-in-place became a part of our every day vocabulary, and now it feels like we’ve lived in this house forever. Moving with 3 kids under 4 was a lot of logistics, but I implemented a few tricks that helped ease the big change for my brood that really went a long way on a very long day. Here are my 4 best…
There is no time like the present to get a jump on spring cleaning. The time spent after-houring and happy-houring in the evening last year is now ripe for closet purging, donating, and reorganizing. I was able to do a big clean-out before our late February move, and I am almost done. This goes back to one of my cardinal rules of closet editing: set a deadline. I am giving myself till the end of this month to finish, and…
It’s Friday even though it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s about to because these Friday finds are going to make a weekend happen all over your screen. Does that even make sense? Does anything anymore? What does make sense right now: making the most of your work from anywhere at home situation, ordering the best Mother’s Day Gift if you haven’t already, and maybe a little something for yourself for when you eventually do crawl out of this giant…
