Felt pretty, won’t delete later.

I’m loving the sun kiss look lately. Something light but still making a statement with a fresh canvas around my eyes. Less really is more sometimes 🤍

Lately I just haven’t been in the “Let’s deck the halls with fancy clothing,” and have leaned more towards a relaxed fit.

I do however want to still look like effort was made. Easily an oversized button up adds a little spice under a graphic sweater.

These last two crewnecks are oversized, thick, and exactly what I’m looking for. Just add a simple hoop and my hair thrown up in a bun… I’m ready for the day/event.

When I purchase this coat it was on sale towards the end of the winter season (beginning of 2023) and I haven’t found anything close to the quality.

I think it’s safe to say I found a close second (from Banana Republic - where this jacket I’m wearing is from)

BUT

Also a much cheaper option from Abercrombie. I love everything about this pattern because it screams “classy”

Paired this tank crop with some high rise tailored pants from Abercrombie. This particular color is limited in size but the color options for the same style has a variety to choose from.

I used this spray this year and didn’t apply using a brush as it’s recommended, but instead I used an old washcloth, gently making circular motions.

This spray is also good for hats or other articles of clothing that need protection

I have this baby tee jersey top in three colors. Originally I only bought one and my husband kept giving me compliments so I bought two more. It’s such a beautiful refresh to my closet. Perfect for fall to dress up or dress casually. I’ve worn with both a high waist jogger at a festival and here for church with a high waist pencil skirt.

Just add some one of a kind jewelry with your favorite perfume and effortless is the word.

Ring Concierge and Lili Clasp are not only my favorite, but most reliable places to go for all my jewelry needs.

Best combo - Both products are water based, which compliment each other to longer staying power

Makeup that feels and moves like skin is important to me, especially as I get older.

Stay tuned for an application video coming soon 🤍

V Shaped Tee Shirts are, in my opinion, the most flattering.
I ordered an XS - Men’s from Vitality.

I ordered a few for myself after buying my husband a whole drawer full. They’re his favorite and they also wear beautifully, as they’re not boxy or cheap looking.

I pair these tees with some high rise jeans and tuck it in (front or back) or with a pair of my favorite align leggings

I didn’t have time to take my makeup off and workout, so I rushed to my basement, did a 45 minute workout and to my surprise, my makeup pretty much stayed put.

I swear by a few things here… My mascara mix and my eyeliner.

TIP : Waterproof mascara first and last.

The foundation is new and I think it’s my favorite 🤍 So far I’ve really fallen in love with the light weight look

Spring is such a beautiful time of year. The weather is beautiful today and I got to see our perennial peonies come back today, it’s their 5th year…. Maybe 6th and they make me so happy. They were a gift from my mom, so they always make me think of her.

#LTKFind #LTKGiftGuide #LTKfamily

These would be ideal gifts for a mama that’s been hard at work and didn’t slow down, just because she didn’t have a gym bag, perfect shoes, a good shaker for protein/pre workout, or tools for recovery.

As a runner, priority is always the right shoes and than a really good roller. If she’s got those, anything else geared to show support is a kind way to show how proud you are of her wins.

There’s no better way to show how proud you are than to gift her a

I’m just leaving this here for my husband.

My house stays pretty cool throughout the year because I would rather have a chill home and cover, than a home that feels like I’m suffocating.

I had a heated blanket that was well loved and often used. Unfortunately the cord has broken due to rough handling…. But most likely my dog did something to it. But originally when I was gifted this blanket, it was a well loved one I need gifted again from the husband (but I possibly will just buy myself the gift instead so that I have two gifts) 🤣

Gifts for Mother’s Day is often more about an opportunity to let the mama in your life know that she isn’t invisible.

Sometimes letting her know that you remember the details in her day to day, can speak volumes in your relationships with the mom(s) in your life.

Does she complain about headaches?
Is she a physical health awareness, mom?
Does she crave smooth skin?
(this is my favorite sugar scrub)
But maybe…
Getting out the bath with a ready and warm towel helps her see just how special she is.

This locket is one of my most treasured items I own. Right after my mom passed, the first holiday we faced was Christmas and a week later, it was my birthday.

When my dad asked me what I wanted, I wanted something that I can hold onto, that resembled a piece of my mother’s love.

The closest thing I found was a locket. I hold two photos inside, of her on her wedding day and of her and I on my wedding day.

I think this would be such a special gift to offer a mother with the sweetest note that would forever be cherished between you and her.

For working out, travel wear or running errands… Lululemon and OnCloud are always reliable.

Lululemon Align - From any of the collections, are my most reached for leggings.

OnCloud - These are my third pair. I run 3/4x week and they’re Heaven sent 👌🏼

#LTKfit #LTKFind

Just a post about products that make me feel refreshed and clean.

Lately my skin has been going through hoops to stay healthy because of the indecisive weather. Nice one day. Really poor the next.

In other words it’s drying out my skin worse than my skin type already accomplishes all on it’s own.

The newest product is from Glossier and even though it’s only been two weeks, I’ve noticed a HUGE difference. I highly recommend it.

SALE - A mention worth mentioning is the Scuba zip ups from Lululemon and even though it’s not the exact color, it’s the exact Scuba zip up camouflage style on sale.

I love when my kids don’t participate in photos, said no mama ever… BUT, here are the outfits and the details I love.

Cable sweaters and plaid skirts paired with some chunky boots make my heart sing. The suit worn by my son is also one of my favorite things he wears. He looks sharp and crisp.

This Sunday morning we decided on a breakfast joint my own mother and I loved to go to. Her heavenly birthday was a little over a year ago and there isn’t a day that goes by where I am not thinking of her. These kids remind me to take things slow and everything isn’t always so serious 🤍 and everything imperfect is exactly what’s good for the soul.

The in between stages of winter not done making its debut and summer not available for her appearances yet.

Basically it’s cold, but you don’t need your Eskimo jacket anymore.

North Face kept my kids dry during this on and off gloomy day. They love playing in the rain and it’s important that they get to do that in something warm.

They’re in between sizes so I sized up, crossing my fingers that theses jackets fit for the fall season as well.

I can not tell you how much of a mess my kids make every single night over a tube of toothpaste 😩

It should also be mentioned that WITHOUT FAIL, once it’s open, the cap is lost forever. Never to be seen again.

As you can imagine, it’s frustrating.

Now I have everything our family needs to keep things tidy for four days until the bathroom goes through it’s weekly deep clean.

This tube squeezer is great for moisturizers, lotions, face primers, sun screens and an endless list of other family and beauty products we want all our money’s worth for.

Nothing feels better than a freshly cleaned BUT ORGANIZED kitchen drawer.

It all started because the expensive silverware I received 10 years ago from my wedding were slowly but surely disappearing into nearly nothing. It was so frustrating to have to hand wash a fork or a spoon because they grew legs and walked off.

Raising kids does that sometimes…

Since I have two kids that aren’t even teens yet, I decided to go the cheaper route for now. Once they’re nearly adults or moved out I can lavish again in my finer silverware and get the quality/weight I crave.

I found nostalgic classics as a comfort. These ones from Target brought me back to my childhood home.

The measuring cups I have here in the video are from Crate and Barrel and are no longer available, but I listed some space savers for those who like to save on space and aesthetics

Loooove Danessa and her creativity.
What I love the absolute most is her iconic ability to keep our skin looking refreshed, dewy and healthy.

Cream blush is the way to achieve this, doing so with multiple colors complimenting so many different skin tones.
