On a sun-drenched Tuesday in July in Chicago, this cool stay-at-home city mom opted for pure ease in a black athleisure skirt and a teal tank, her go-to sneakers carrying her from one indulgent moment to the next. With her usual gold hoops and necklaces taking the day off—save for her ever-present stack of permanent bracelets—she dropped her son off at daycare, checked off a few blog to-dos, and then leaned fully into self-care. She had a facial booked, but when the spa offered to add a massage? She said yes before they could even finish the question. The afternoon brought a return to blog work and a quick pivot to physical therapy—because balance, right?—before scooping up her little guy for an evening filled with giggles, sidewalk chalk, and the satisfying hum of a day well spent.
