Taking care of ourselves has never been more important than it is now that it can feel like the world is ending. I found that some little creature comforts go a long way, but my supply is dwindling. Sephora’s SPRINGSAVE coupon works on some of my shelter in place must haves, and some things I’m adding in to my self love arsenal. Here are the 5 self care items in my cart right now:…
I’m knee deep in potty training over here with my middle child, which means cookies are being made along with bribes. You’ve probably seen the viral 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe floating around on the interwebs, and this is my riff on that. It takes 6 pantry staples and an optional 7th ingredient, which I can personally attest takes these over the top and will get you results (in potty training at least). Here is what you’ll need to…
The only thing worse than my nail roots were my grey hairs all over my scalp. For some backstory, I have had grey hair since around my 12th birthday. I started dying my hair Liv Tyler Empire Records era auburn in middle school to mask it, which went well with my Doc Martens and flannels. As an adult, I’ve come to rely on 4-6 week apart root touch-ups to keep things copacetic. At first I accepted my roots and it…

This week’s quarantine life brought some of the best news we’ve heard and some of the worst. I honestly didn’t even know what to write today until I talked to one of my nearest and dearest friends just now. The photo above was taken this morning, after I had cried before 10 AM (I won’t even go into detail because I am sure you can imagine why). I shared it with my close friends and told them how I was…
I am fairly certain that over the course of my past three pregnancies and nursing cycles, I tried every single aluminum free natural deodorant on the market. Some of them just don’t keep you dry or fresh, and almost all of them turned my armpits bright red. My skin is sensitive, and most scents irritate it. The best natural deodorant is the Megababe Rosy Pits Daily Deodorant. Some of us crunchies will be hyped to hear it’s made with sage…
I’m officially at a point where I am stuck somewhere between hell and the life I once knew: a purgatory of sorts. It feels as if some days we are bombarded with messaging telling us to stay positive all the while reading news that says people are dying all around us and we won’t be going back to anywhere anytime soon, let alone back to the way things were ever again. This messaging cycle has been sending me down a…
Part of my new normal includes wearing my fair share of sweatsuits. At this point, I’ll take comfort in any form I can get it, but I still like to look somewhat put together and polished. Lucky for all of us, joggers are in right now, and Saks Friends and Family sale is a gold mine of chic sweats. Soul Cycle’s Big Sale is also worth a look if you’re seeking Lululemon or Aviator Nation, but be advised a lot…
