#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKStyleTip

Motherhood, aging, and trying to remember what I walked into the room for—it’s all a ride. But I’m figuring it out, one supplement and calendar reminder at a time.

What’s keeping you sane-ish these days?

#LTKBeauty #LTKFamily #LTKSummerEdit

Leopard print, my favorite summer sandals [which now come in a plethora of amazing new colors 🤌🏼] and just enough slay to say “I’ve still got it”—without trying too hard.

Style that works for all things summer— camp runs, grocery hauls, and reminding yourself you’re still that girl.

GRWM: Ballfield Athletic Fit

Today’s look: comfy, breathable, and ready for a full day of sun and cheering my kiddo on!
• Athletic shorts that move with me
• A relaxed tee that doesn’t cling (because this body is changing)
• Tinted SPF
• Hair back, casual but cute

At this stage, it’s not about chasing trends — it’s about feeling good, and showing up for the moments that matter ⚾️

Spring is in the air! The days are getting warmer which means it’s the perfect time for a little seasonal refresh.

Back again with another edition of, “Well I can’t leave the house like this” 🫣

Honestly though, I have no big plans other than school pickup, and sports practice drop off so I decided to do the bare minimum to make myself presentable ✨

Today, I’m using my #voloom iron. It’s as easy as sectioning off my hair starting from the bottom up, tapping this iron a couple times at my roots, putting in my favorite texture powder and walking out the door.

☘️ MARCH ☘️

Get Dressed for You today 🫶🏻

It’s been snow day after snow day here in the Midwest and it is taking its toll on my mental health. So today, instead of reaching for my leggings for my son’s last basketball 🏀 tournament of the season, I opted for a little more of an elevated fit.

This look is cool and classic. It can be dressed up or more casual depending on shoes, etc.

Jeans & Blazer Style - I love this look with a good pair of pointed toe boots 🤌🏼

My jeans and blazer are thrifted 🛒 so I’ll link my favorites for you! My earrings are from a local favorite boutique @blackchameleon

Here’s a #styletip 👉🏻 find yourself a pair of worn wide leg jeans (check out #ThredUp) and buy them a size bigger for a slightly baggy look. Don’t be afraid to fray them yourself! Give the knees a good snip and rough up the hem!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKPetite #LTKMidsize

✨ February ✨

I have been searching for the perfect wide leg, distressed, black jeans to wear with my #Abercrombie #Chiefs Super Bowl jersey and well, I hit the nail on the head!

Since turning 40, I’ve gained a little bit in my midsection so I opted for ordering both the regular and curvy styles. These are the curvy and they fit me like a glove 👌🏻 I’m 5’1 and I typically wear a size 8.

I opted for the regular length because I like a baggy bottom with my wide legs, but I could definitely sport the short inseam. Can’t wait to style these for the #SUPERBOWL 🏈❤️🖤💛

#LTKPetite #LTKMidsize #LTKStyleTip

What to wear when it’s -4 degrees outside but you’re willing to brave the cold for a diner coffee and a warm stock of hot cakes!

If you struggle with flat, lifeless hair due to fine texture, the @voloom Iron is the solution you’ve been waiting for. It works by texturing the hair at the roots, creating the appearance of thicker, fuller locks without the need for heavy products or chemicals.

No more limp hair after styling—this tool gives you a natural lift that complements your hair’s texture without weighing it down. Plus, it works beautifully on all hair lengths, whether you have a short bob or longer locks.

By incorporating the Volume Iron into your hair routine, you can achieve the volume, body, and fullness that fine, thin hair often lacks, making it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their hair’s texture and style.

I’ll also include some of my other fine hair fixes, including my all-time favorite tools and products!!

How to Make Your LIPS POP 👄 With Little Effort— You’ve seen the demo, now here are my favorite lip finds!

Something to Consider— Colors vary depending on skin tone. I like a good neutral liner for everyday but depending on what I’m wearing, sometimes I reach for a mauve liner and blend it into my lip for a more put together look.

Whatever colors suit you best, just make sure you choose a cool colored contour for that bottom lip shadow.

After canvassing the crowd in the wind, rain, and cold this past month, I’ve put together a list of several items that make weekend-long sports events a little more… well comfortable ☺️

Apple Air tags on rogue siblings, heated stadium chairs, portable battery chargers, full-body sleeping bags, and the list goes on!

Psst: these also make GREAT #MothersDay gifts!

Lifestyle Finds

My hair in my 20s vs. now? Not even in the same category. In fact, if I did a before and after you might die laughing 😆

In my 20’s it was bleach & heat damage, but these days it’s hormones, stress, aging, and life— after 40, they’ve come for my strands. ⚡️ I do wear extensions now, thanks to my incredible stylist, but I’ve always had super fine, thin hair (thanks, genetics 🙃). After 40 though, I’ve noticed even more breakage, dullness, and an overall decline in appearance.

So here’s my routine: 💅🏻
I don’t wash daily.
I baby my hair with the right product and tools.
And I’ve found the perfect combo for my fine-thin hair + extensions.

⚡️ Linking my GO-TO products + tools
