One of the ways I do self care is by doing my own manicures at home. One of my favorite nail polishes is cateye gel nail color because it is highly impactful, and low effort!

These days I love builder gel over natural nails- everything i used to create this look is linked

This year we are leaning into colorful traditional colorful Christmas tree lights. Timers have saved my sanity when it comes to holiday decorating! I set these and forget them, we use various different types of timers (some are even built into extension cords) to keep up with holiday inflatables, indoor and outdoor lights.

Pleated black lace slip skirt and dark denim vest

✈️ Our whole family needed new luggage 2 years ago for summer travel plans and they have held up for many road trips and flights!

Things I look for when choosing luggage :
CARRY-ON SIZE- I LOVE the versatility of carry-on sized bags because they’re great for long weekends and even week-long trips if you pack well 😉
LAPTOP/TABLET storage - a must for work trips and traveling anywhere with kids
BUILT-IN charging cables/space for power bank.
COMPARTMENTS- keep dirty and clean clothes separated - bonus if there’s a wet bag or compartment so shoes and other messy things can be stored neatly.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND SMOOTH SPINNING WHEELS - because we can’t stand to be weighed down while on the go (especially with kids in tow)
COLOR- a cute aesthetic, fun. I chose pink because it’s not a typical suitcase color, much easier to spot at baggage claim than a basic black/navy blue/red one.

I’ll also link the luggage the rest of the family is using because it has travelled all over with us! The hard sided spinner suitcases are great for the kids and my husband’s work travel needs.

Latest DIY manicure — cat eye gel nail color over builder gel. I’m loving builder gel on my natural nails, no tips!

#LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip

Since I’m my own nail lady, I made sure to get myself in for a fill. (I am not a nail tech, I just love to treat myself to an at-home manicure.)💅🏽

I started by using the cordless e-file to remove the existing gel nail color from my nails, but leaving the builder gel on. Then, I cleaned up the cuticle area, making sure not to slip on this crucial step of nail prep. Once my nails were fully prepped, I moved on with the manicure.

I apply base coat to the bare nail area, being sure not to touch the skin with the product. Fully cure with a UV LED nail lamp between each coat of builder get and then applied cat-eye nail polish. ✨🪩 cateye nail color it gives it the fun nail art vibe without any art skills required. I finish with a clear topcoat, cure, then wash my hands and apply cuticle oil.

Style tip- keep your manicure looking fresh by keeping a cuticle oil stick / pen handy so your manicure stays looking fresh!

Stop throwing your berries away! These produce storage containers are the real MVP. They keep our fruits, veggies, and lettuce lasting so much longer. I literally never have to throw berries away anymore!

The best part is the fact that you can wash the grapes/etc first and the container is designed to keep your produce stored in the ideal environment. The storage container actually IS a strainer/colander itself (so you could also store straight from the store, then wash as needed, like I do for broccoli). There’s a snap-on tray at the bottom to add water, to help produce items that need it to maintain adequate humidity, and air vents on each end of the box allowing you the option to close off or encourage airflow, again catering to the needs of your produce items.

There is no guess work involved in using these containers. Each lid has examples of items you would put inside (leafy greens, peppers, grapes, etc.), as well as exactly how to store the produce, are printed directly on the lid.

The produce boxes are clear keeping everything visible, so the kids are encouraged to help themselves to fresh healthy snacks! Having everything accessible and ready to eat is a game changer, and reduces food waste.🫐🍓🍇🍒

Latest DIY at home manicure 💅🏽 Iridescent Cateye gel nail color over natural builder gel nails

#LTKBeauty

On weekday mornings my kids always get excited so excited to see the stainless steel lunch containers out on the kitchen counter. That means they’re having a hot homemade lunch at school. I absolutely love their enthusiasm for a warm meal to bring to school.

Turning leftovers into lunch is a great way to stretch a buck! I just make extra of foods that reheat well. Leftovers turn into meals my kids get excited for because it feels like a warm hug.

These stainless steel meal containers are full sized, fit to hold a meal large enough for an adult or 5th grader! I much prefer these to round soup thermoses because the opening to those containers are always so narrow, and they don’t hold enough food to keep a first grader full. I can literally lay a slab of lasagna in our rectangular lunchboxes. They also come with a removable divider in case you want to have two separate components inside your hot lunchbox.

• heat water to boiling, use a hot water kettle to save time
• warm your hot lunch containers with the hot water
• heat food to piping hot (it will cool to a safe warm temperature)
• carefully empty the water and place hot food in your heated container

Caution ⚠️ Be careful when handling hot water and hot foods! Don’t do this with any containers that are not safe for high temp / boiling 212 degrees. These stainless steel containers are what I use with hot water and my children’s hot food. ♥️

Visual timers are my fave for adult ADHD and also great for students / kids who can’t really picture what 10 minutes looks like! They’re a great classroom tool, to help with time management, and so the kids stop asking “how much time until…” 😅

Visual timers are so helpful for us as parents that we have several different ones in various areas at home they are good for timing showers, use in the kitchen, and for pacing out tasks.
