You can find me in biker shorts as often as I can wear them because 😍 These ones are a significantly cheaper alternative to the LL ones (I have some and can confirm, I may even like them better!) I’m a medium! These boots are suede so they’re waterproof PLUS they have memory foam insoles! True to size! Socks aren’t THAT exciting but Hanes has new and improved versions of these specific crew socks and they’re thicker and cozier plus they fit the foot better! I don’t even want to use my old versions anymore and will SCOUR my laundry until I can find the new ones because they’re THAT different! LTKSpringSale LTKSeasonal LTKStyleTip

Let’s chat PRIMERS!

I have a wide range of primers that all have their own benefits. In reality, I could live with only the Iconic London Velvet Smooth for pore filling, Elf for longevity, and Covergirl for a redness neutralizing/pore filling combo!

1. ELF - She’s stickkkky 😍🙏🏼 (and inexpensive!) There’s a reason this one is so beloved, she’s essential for keeping makeup on. I focus it in the T zone and around my mouth

2. Iconic London Velvet Smooth - she’ll give you baby skin with a powdery plush doll-like effect. I use this on minimal makeup days, too, with just a touch of bronzer, brows, and mascara!

3. Covergirl - i’ve only tried the green version of this one, but it’s essential for my summer days! It has a smoothing effect, but also neutralizes redness, so I can use it on its own to take away a little sunburn and smooth the skin, but it also layers as well with makeup.

4. Shielded Beauty primer - this one is so much more than just a primer because it hydrates, firms, gives you a little glow AND fills pores! Realistically, this one could be in second or third place, but they all serve such different purposes. I do find myself applying the iconic London velvet, smooth primer over top of this one in problem areas occasionally.

5. Tatcha - this is the liquid version and the reason that I put this in fifth place is because the solid version is so much better, but I still think that the iconic London primer gives about the same effect as the solid version silk canvas primer, just with a slightly more powdery finish.

6. Iconic London Underglow - I go back-and-forth with this primer because although I love the way that it hydrates and glows, I don’t find myself needing a glowy primer because I have so many other glowy products that I tend to use on a regular basis. This one works so well though & smells like a baby doll!

7. Maybelline baby skin - I loved it while I had it, just love the Velvet Smooth more! (Baby skin is silicone-y)

8. Urban Decal all nighter - I’ve always loved the setting spray but haven’t tried the primer - is it worth it to try it?! 🤔💬

It’s practically Spring with the time change and perfect weather so I’m in full organization mode already!

Our closet was due for a cleanup and after rearranging around the house, this piece was left available! We’ve used it for shoe storage for years by the garage but the kids don’t have toddler feet anymore and it was time to level up.

I couldn’t find this exact piece on Amazon again but there’s endless cabinets and drawers that perfectly fit under 2 level shelving (even with the triangle brackets)!

I’ve linked some favs below (we have some of the drawer units and LOVE them!) - some of these are even on major spring sale!

Happy organizing! 😍

It’s easy to slack on SPF as summer cools into fall but this is your reminder that sun exposure is the #1 cause of aging, wrinkly skin so having a good base is essential. (Don’t forget the neck, hairline, and ears!)

For me, I have the biggest fear of skin cancer on my face ESPECIALLY and I already have had a significant amount of sunburns from an Arizona childhood, outdoor sports as I got older, tanning beds in my teens & 20’s, and then another decade of straight neglect. It’s NEVER too late to build good habits!

I’ve been loving using GlowScreen as a primer and then a hint of foundation in place of concealer for a more minimal, everyday makeup look!

This is your sign to CLEAN your dishwasher! I’ve been testing a few brands of dishwasher cleaning agents over the last year and this one was a true winner! 🧼 (Plus, it’s under $5!!)

Currently obsessed with these sneakers! And can you tell they’re my vibe by how well they match my kitchen rug?! 😂

Inkkas are artfully designed and HANDCRAFTED in Mexico! 😍

I’m usually between a 7 and 7 1/2 shoe size and I sized down to a 7 with no issues. They’re comfortable, cute, and definitely a showstopper shoe! 👟

💙 The sweatpants are PERFECT, but size down a size or two!

AMAZING life hack for parents of young kids - though I also tagged a couple of other ones for different ages!

The kids were SO excited to shower last night! 😍

#LTKFamily #LTKKids #LTKHome

#ad I’m ALREADY regretting not getting the shimmery brown because HOW GORGEOUS is the touch of golden glimmer? 😍✨ This one also has gold hardware!

I also snagged this exact one in the red (tagged below) and it’s the perfect bright watermelon red with black hardware. 🍉

📏SIZING: I opted for medium bottoms and large tops, both which fit perfectly! I was concerned that the band of the top would be too big around but it fits comfortably and has a little stretch for anyone needing a little more room!

Let me start by saying, I’M NOT FOOLED! They say this is a new launch of lip stains but I remember having this exactly color, scent, EVERYTHING in like 2010, just under a different shade name. (Praline was the name before)

Either way, I’m so happy to have this back in my life. It’s the perfect base color for a glossy topcoat and it’s surprisingly buildable for a deeper color and it lasts! I have naturally pale lips so having a “my lips but better” base goes a long way on balancing out my features!

👄 My shade: 10 Sugey Girl

Imagine my surprise when I found a clean deodorant that ACTUALLY WORKS! 😍 I tested this for a couple of weeks by the pool, doing yard work, working out, and for a few days straight in the ARIZONA SUN. Now, THAT’S the test!

It goes on clear and has a light & fresh scent - I went with cooling water Lilly & citrus.

It’s an all over body deodorant that’s natural, aluminum, free, and non-staining. I didn’t notice residue on my pits or clothes and the ph-balancing prebiotic worked wonders at blocking any stink! 😍👃🏻

The Kitchenaid mixer has an option for attachments and we’ve had the meat grinder one and have used it a few times but I have a feeling the pasta maker will be getting more use for a while! 😍

First of all, homemade pasta dough is 2 ingredients and a couple minutes of work with zero tools needed and you can totally just roll it with a rolling pin and cut with a knife but this was SO fun, a lot more precise/consistent, and I like feeling like a pro 😜

PLUS, you can use it for small amounts of fondant for decorations and details (it’s not wide enough to make a sheet big enough to cover a cake!)

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome #LTKFamily

Even if you only make macarons occasionally like me, you NEED a set of two mats. You want to be able to work on two trays of cookies at once and these guide circles give total control over how consistent the sizing is!

#LTKFamily #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHome

Using a fan during cookie decorating to help crust the icing quickly between steps is perfect but a dehydrator works faster, better, has a million other uses, and you have a sanitary place to safely tuck your cookies away while they dry, too!

Need an excuse to buy it? Get your husband one for Father’s Day with a ton of good quality beef for homemade jerky! I promise he’ll be happy to test it out first!

🧴 SPF 30 isn’t my first resort but for something SO EASY to throw in the purse and put on anywhere, anytime, it’s PERFECT! 👜

☀️ I ideally have this as backup, reapplication, or for special uses (like sun protection in weird areas like hairline, ears, and over top of makeup!). 💄

✨ It has the TEENIEST hint of shimmer (I still use it on Julian at football so it’s boy approved!) and it even smells subtly like the old fashioned Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil my mom used in the 90’s. 😍👃🏻

This is your sign to give your elderly dog a bubble bath! 🛀 Our Max is 15! 🥰

We just fill up the bathtub halfway, (or sometimes up to above his hips when he standing) with warm water, epsom salt, and his dog shampoo! The water alone relieves so much weight and pressure off of his hips. Plus, I can give him a deep cleaning - sometimes I get in with him! We finish by giving him a cool rinse off afterwards.

Just remember to brush your dog first! 🤙🏼

🌱Raw Generation’s juices and smoothies are a favorite because they pack so much goodness into a variety of convenient and TASTY drinks!

Did you know Starbucks now has the viral (and for good reason) Truff sauce?! 😍 And they even have two flavors!

The original is my favorite, it’s somehow sweet, smokey, and spicy in the most balanced and flavorful way. I’ve only tried them on the bacon egg bites so far and: 😍

Their sauces are a family favorite for men’s gifting. 🤙🏼🔥

#LTKFamily #LTKHome #LTKMens

The perfect tee! 😍 This one’s for the girls who love margaritas and espresso martinis! 🍸 Plus it has some embroidered details and the Tajin on the marg was the perfect touch!

#ad We LOVEEEE green juice in this house and these have been our favs this year!

The kids love the “Sippers” kids juices that include a rainbow of colored juices with 40+ nutrient dense fruits & veggies! In fact, the GREEN is their favorite color of all the flavors!

My week has been packed with a mix of green juices, some light and refreshing, some more packed with blends of fruits, veggies, and leafy green, and even green protein shakes that are creamy and nutty, with a cashew base!

March is the month to reset and start fresh, PLUS, you need a little green for St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

💪🏻 Ash hack: pull your drinks from the freezer the NIGHT before so they’re still a little slushy and frosty! 😍

LUCKY YOU! (If you’re seeing this in time) because I just saw this was 20% off - the lowest price in 30 days!

This was Julian’s big Christmas gift because that boy LOVES science! I have a less powerful, handheld microscope ($20 a tagged below - 1000x zoom) that we’ve LOVED for years, but this one has 4000x zoom and comes with everything a kid could need, INCLUDING specimen samples like a bee leg & wing, a cross section of a branch, onion skin, and more!

If the big one is too much of a splurge, I promise the handheld one is still so so fun!! We used to go for walks and collect items to inspect and it’s absolutely, undoubtedly worth the $20 and can’t believe it’s so affordable for the quality!

MAKEUP PREP SKINCARE : I will allllways throw an eye mask or two in my makeup/skincare bag when I travel. There’s nothing better than a little boost once the vacation starts to drain me. (Andrew loved using a pair, too!)

Next up, I alternate between toners and think I’ll end up repurchasing the Versed one instead of the one I used because it’s a little more mild and I tend to get red, but I NEED a little extra skin clearing and pore shrinking!

Last, always a moisturizer! Sometimes I’ll opt for a moisturizing primer but this Korean serum truly PLUMPS and absorbs perfectly to allow for a smooth makeup application with no residue! (Plus there’s always sales and coupons!) It has hyaluronic acid, peptides, B vitamins, and niacinamide!

Foundation shade a little too pink?
Green primer.

Sunburnt?
Green primer.

Rosacea?
Green primer.

Spot correcting red areas from picking, acne, etc?
Green primer!

This is one product I always have on hand. My favorite foundation is still a little pink for me for the closest shade so neutralizing with a green primer helps so so much! Not to mention the smoothing factor! 😍

I even use it on NO MAKEUP days to even out some coloring! ¨̮

I was SHOCKED when I had these the first time! They taste like a chili-lime corn nut with a great snappy texture and no weird flavor at all.

They’re gluten free, made with only good ingredients like black beans, corn, brown rice, chili & lime!

They’re great with hummus and cheese!

Mini Target haul!! 😍

I HAD to get the mini jalepeno chomps for some traveling, they fit perfectly in my small purse and are essential for snacking on the go!

I also snagged the new O&J GEL polish they released in their best selling shade of their regular polish.

Lastly, the PEEL OFF BASE gel polish so I can more quickly and easily change my nail color and possibly get a little mani Monday routine going! 🤙🏼

Dabble & Dollop launched at TARGET! You may have to pop online and see which locations have inventory nearby (my first location was out!) but you can order them for pick up and make your life so much easier! (Or find them elsewhere, tagged below also!)

The kids loved mixing up different scents and products to make their own custom bath experience. (All with simple, clean ingredients!)

I gave them each a small bowl as spatula and they had the best time and played for hours!

Red nail theory - going strong!

I’ll be honest, I think I like this color better when my nails are shorter and more square but this has been my go-to red for a year!
