'Cotu' Sneaker curated on LTK

Elvis was getting TULIPpy about the expected cold weather today and tomorrow, so we went on a tulip hunt downtown yesterday afternoon to remind us that there are at least some signs of spring around us. #LTKunder50

Raising the BAR for myself and trying my best to reduce my plastic waste. Plastic never completely goes away, which means every shampoo bottle we’ve ever used still exists somewhere on Earth and will be here longer than any of us ever will be. Even containers that claim to be recyclable, usually never get used again and instead end up sitting in landfills or polluting waterways. In an attempt to reduce my plastic waste, I’ve been using shampoo bars for the past 8+ months. This heart-shaped one is under $5 and available at @target! Considering I haven’t gotten my hair cut in 15 months, I’d say it passes the test! Tomorrow is #EarthDay, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be kind to Mother Earth every day of the year. What’s one thing you could do (or already do!) to reduce your plastic waste? 🌎♻️ http://liketk.it/3du5s #liketkit @liketoknow.it

How could I ever fur-get to post about my favorite pup on #NationalPetDay? 🐶 Let’s be paw-nest though - I really treat him more like a human child than a dog 🤷‍♀️

I WOOF my dog! 🐶💕 Just posted my first reel with the directions for how to make these super easy homemade and vegan 3 Ingredient Dog Treats! Elvis can’t get enough of them! http://liketk.it/36tT7 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

My new favorite hair tie: Terra Ties! Made from renewable, 100% biodegradable materials! http://liketk.it/360Ud #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I think it’s a TIE between how many times I’ve worn my hair in a ponytail vs. a messy bun the past 10 months. Because of that, I’ve gone through A LOT of hair ties! (The elasticity of most ties doesn’t stand a chance against my long, thick hair!) As I went to toss a broken hair tie in the garbage recently, I realized how wasteful something as simple as a hair tie could be and how much of a negative impact something so small could have on the environment. That’s what prompted me to look into more eco-friendly options! I’m so happy that I stumbled across @TerraTies! Unlike most hair ties, Terra Ties are made of renewable, 100% biodegradable materials, and they are shipped in plastic-free, recyclable packaging! Not only are they a more environmentally-friendly option, but they are also super high-quality! I’ve been using them on my daily runs and my ponytail no longer annoyingly shifts or falls out! They’re thick, durable, but also soft and gentle on my hair. Check out their website terraties.com and/or shop them through my LIKEtoKNOW.it (both linked in bio!) http://liketk.it/360QS #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKSeasonal #LTKbeauty #LTKunder50 #ecofriendly #terraties #hair #blonde #hairstyle #gogreen #biodegradable #lifestyle #ponytail #updo #hairties #longhair

Laughing at what a laGOON Elvis was being during our adventure walk yesterday. It’s been awhile since we’ve gone on a hike, so his nose was working in overdrive the entire time! Despite the paths being pretty snow/ice covered, it was so great (and much needed after this week!) to get outside for some fresh air and time in nature. We went to Skokie Lagoons just north of the city http://liketk.it/35DGd #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Merry ChristMASK! 😷🎄 Matching pajamas was so 2019. It's all about matching masks now. Merry Christmas from me, John, and Elvis! ❤💚 http://liketk.it/34zpV @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Hope you all have a BOW-tiful holiday! 🎀 Celebrating at home this year means I can wear pajamas and watch Christmas movies all day and honestly, I'm here for it. Also, it's been what feels like months since I've put earrings on, but I couldn't resist wearing these Kate Spade ones to help get me into the Christmas spirit! Merry Christmas Eve, friends! 🎄 http://liketk.it/34xPT @liketoknow.it #liketkit

WHISKING you all a very happy holiday season! 😉 Spent Saturday baking and decorating Christmas cookies! I can't go a Christmas without these sugar cookies, so I purposely bought a dozen new cookie cutters last month to make them at home this year! John and I had a great time decorating them - we'll see if they last past the end of the week 🤤 What's your favorite holiday treat?! http://liketk.it/34qIG @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Gold Coast really knows how to SPRUCE things up for the holidays 🎄😉 Believe it or not, this skirt is 20+ years old (a Target hand-me-down from my eldest sister). Wearing or buying things second-hand both saves you money and saves the environment! 🌎 I'm a huge clothes hoarder because I figure "this item will come back in style eventually, so I will hang onto it." When I do buy new items, I try to buy high-quality pieces that will last me a long time, like these OTK boots! These (and all boots at Target) are currently 50% off, so if you've been PINING for a pair, now is the time to buy! Shop these exact ones for under $20 in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app!

Had a MARVelous time visiting the iconic house from Home Alone! 🏠🎄 Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! 😉 http://liketk.it/34jEW @liketoknow.it #liketkit
