True to size. Pair 2: Universal Thread Vintage Straight Jeans I’ve had these … Read More
Nordstrom Sale Purchases

I love the N Sale for that reason! This year I picked the items listed below, heavy on the jeans (because I need some for fall that fit well post baby) and a couple sweaters along with a pair of shoes that … Read More
My Clean Skincare Routine
Years ago, I had a goal of developing a “big girl skincare routine.” It seemed silly to me when I said it out loud, but I longed to feel better in my skin and enjoy the products I was using.

Over the years of partnering with Beautycounter, I’ve come to love … Read More

Dazzle Dry Review!
Let’s start with a bit of background on my complicated nail polish history…. Most people probably know me as someone who does not care for nail polish on my fingernails – my husband would probably even tell you that! He has seen me paint my nails 10,000 times, only to remove the polish two minutes later. Why? Well, the answer is twofold. First, I like things to look neat and put together. Which means the second my nails smudge it … Read More
