Pamper & Chill

Pamper & Chill

While a mother’s work never is really done, I am technically on-duty with my twin toddlers from 7 AM-7 PM (yes, on the weekends too.) Of course we are talking about two toddlers under the same roof, so you can imagine the extent of overtime put in, but for the most part the time between the boys’ bedtime and my own is essentially sacred. Some days are definitely harder than others, but either way it’s always a long day, and come 7 o’clock I am in dire need of some major R&R.

As a mom your daily life is very scheduled and repetitive, but the plus side to this dynamic is that it’s easier to structure time into your day to unwind and reboot. Evenings are exclusively reserved for hanging out with the Mister and getting in my me time right before bed. Having a calming and rejuvenating night time routine is essential for taking care of your body and preparing yourself to wake up feeling fresh and ready to take on the day. Because everyone deserves a good nights rest, I’ve partnered with Crane & Canopy to show you the steps I take each evening to pamper, rest, and relax this season. Read More

Pops of Red

Pops of Red

I don’t have a favorite color per say, but shades of red and blue are hands down my favorite statement colors to wear. I’m not playing favorites here, but because Valentine’s Day is fast approaching I’m putting the spotlight on the color du jour. Classic, feminine, sexy, and powerful, red is perhaps one of the most impactful colors to have in your wardrobe. No matter the item, adding a pop of red adds an understated touch of femme fatale and instantly upgrades a look. Not to mention, bright pops of red are going to be trending this coming season, so be on the lookout for some fresh inspo during SS17 fashion month. Read More

Winter Skincare On the Double

Winter Skincare On the Double

My philosophy on makeup and beauty in general has always been less is more. I’d like to pretend that’s only because I don’t like the feeling of heavy make up on my skin, but it may also have to do with the fact that I’m hopeless at applying makeup. A few years ago I took an online quiz to test my knowledge and overall know how on make up and my results were basically “You are such an idiot about make up that you shouldn’t even be allowed to buy it.” Undeterred, I’ve dabbled in experimenting with an assortment of products and techniques that go for the no-make up look (and feel,) but ultimately have come to the conclusion that the best formula for good make up and a fresh face is a stellar skin routine. If your skin is out of sorts whatever make up you try applying on top just won’t look good. And of course, once you finally assemble your perfect skincare routine, the seasons change and you’re back at square one. Recently finding myself in this predicament, I’m sharing my winter skincare essentials that have rejuvinated and brightened the desert that was my face. Read More
