I intended on publishing this on National Underwear Day last week, but we were hit with a hurricane and lost power and WiFi for a week. One of my best friends was visiting me from Portland, so we turned lemons into shandy and used our off the grid time to reconnect and read books like true pilgrims. We finally got power today, so I’m back, and figured I should go ahead and toast the holiday that was. Better late than…
While I generally don’t subscribe to the #lovesummerhateeverythingelse mindframe, I do believe summer fragrances are superior. There is something about my summer wardrobe style that just feels best punctuated by a final walk through a misted cloud of a spot-on seasonal scent. Although I’ve tried many, there are three that I’ve been loving for years and one is under $20. These are the 3 best summer fragrances:…

As you may have heard by now, all-time favorite eye cream is the Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream. Maybe not so coincidentally, my go-to daily moisturizer with SPF is Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Day Cream SPF 23.

I’m so excited to share my moody blue grey bar pantry with you today. I don’t feel like it’s quite done because I am on the hunt for the perfect odd sized vintage rug (something like this). I love the contrast of the pink that is in there now, but it is too small for the floor space so it’s a placeholder for now. The existing cabinetry was beautiful and in great shape, but needed a paint job and some…
When you tell most people you’re having your first baby, they typically say, “congratulations!” When you have your second baby, it’s usually the same. When you’re having your third, you might hear “I got a guy” or questions along the lines of “was it planned,” or even a “you’re insane.” I have to acknowledge the privilege I’ve been granted in life to be able to grow our family. While it took years for us to have our first child, we’ve…
It’s peak hot girl summer over on the East Coast, and by that I mean I am melting. It’s a sweltering mix of dry heat and thick humidity and I will take any relief I can get. I recently tried a new water mist sunscreen, which vaguely reminded me at first glance of my mother’s Evian spray from back in the day. Apparently, it’s still a popular beauty item. However, my new perk-me-up has SPF and smells subtly like a…
