One of my biggest travel hacks is taking a little extra time to pack my toiletry bag intentionally. It makes being away from home so much more comfortable when I have my favorite beauty and hairive products with me.

I use travel-size vacuum pumps for skincare and hair products, plus compressed face towels for quick, clean refreshes on the go. No leaks, no bulky bottles, and no settling for hotel products that never work quite the same.

Why it matters:
– You stick to your routine
– Skin and hair stay happy
– Everything stays organized
– Packing is lighter and more efficient
– You feel more put together while traveling

A little prep goes a long way—because travel is always better when you don’t have to compromise on the things you love.

Create the cutest hand-drawn Christmas village on your windows—no artistic talent required. These window clings give the look of a chalk marker illustration, but you just peel, stick, and enjoy instant holiday magic.

They’re perfect for kids’ bedrooms, kitchen windows, playrooms, classrooms, and large windows that need a little festive charm. I love how simple they are while still adding so much warmth and whimsy—like a cozy Christmas storybook scene right on the glass.

They remove cleanly and can be reused year after year, which makes decorating easy and mess-free.

#AD We gave my son’s room the ultimate teen bedroom upgrade, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Working with @loweshomeimprovement, we painted the walls a rich deep green and added slat paneling for that elevated, modern look he’s been wanting.
The transformation feels clean, cool, and so grown-up—exactly the vibe for this new stage of life. It’s incredible how a few high-impact updates from Lowe’s can make a room feel completely new. Huge thank you to Lowe’s for having everything we needed to bring this space to life.

Fast, high-quality prints, a simple DIY with big impact, and the perfect touch for meaningful gifting or decorating. A quick craft that looks so magical on the branches.

Why we chose the Yoto Player over the Toniebox 🎧✨
After comparing screen-free kids’ audio players, the Yoto Player just made more sense for us long-term. It has a huge content library — stories, music, podcasts — that actually grows with your child. The compact cards are easier to store than figurines, plus it charges with USB-C and has better battery life.
For our family:
• Better value and variety for older kids
• Less bulky storage (cards vs. figurines)
• Extra features like Bluetooth, podcasts, and alarm clock — more than “just stories”
If you’re trying to decide between the two, think about age range, storage, and how long you want it to last. We wanted something our daughter could truly grow with.

Creating a cozy book nook for my daughter has been one of my favorite little projects yet. 📚✨
I wanted to give her a space that feels warm, peaceful, and hers — the perfect spot to unwind with a good book (or her Kindle).
A comfy chair, soft blanket, rotating bookshelf, and even a little electric fireplace made it feel extra special. And of course, snacks and a tablet holder are must-haves!
Whether you’re designing a cozy nook for kids or refreshing your own reading corner, it’s amazing how a few thoughtful touches can make it feel magical.
