still on the journey to embrace my #curlyhair and I am finally getting the hang of it.

the key is to style it when it is dripping wet….i know, i know, it is weird to not tie your hair up in a towel, but it really makes all the difference.

I didn’t reinvent my life today.
I just put on shoes that made me want to leave the house.

These are from @inkkas — and they made me feel lighter.
Brighter.
Like someone I actually want to be again.

They’re ridiculously comfortable, easy to style, and every pair plants a tree 🌱

I linked them here so you can see what I mean.

Because your next step doesn’t have to be perfect…
It just has to feel like you.

Current vibe: self-care, but make it Saran Wrap chic 🫠
Finally taking the time to get these brows under control — aka laminating them myself because I refuse to pay $100 for what this kit can do.

✨ Easy, quick, and actually works (even on my chaotic mom schedule).
✨ Linked the at-home brow lamination kit I use — because good brows should not require childcare or a salon appointment.

If you see me looking suspiciously put-together next week, just know it’s the brows doing all the heavy lifting. 💅

Berry keeper containers = life hack 🍓✨
Because nothing hurts more than buying fresh fruit and watching it die in 48 hours. 😭

These containers actually keep berries fresh for days — rinse, store, forget about them, and still win at adulting. 🙌

Work-from-home but make it… chaotic cute. ☕💻
Featuring my remarkably messy desk, a Remarkable tablet I actually use, my MacBook that’s seen things, and the retro lamp that makes it all look intentional.

Day whatever of the Unemployed Era 🫠
Outfit of the day: leopard hoodie from A&F, Gap jeans, and a delusional amount of self-trust.

Turns out, rebuilding your life looks less like a LinkedIn headline and more like comfy clothes, coffee, and figuring it out one messy day at a time.

DIY Formula One costume… but make it Lamborghini 🏎️💛
All you need is:
✨ A jumpsuit, a printer, some hot glue, way too many Amazon tabs

We’re not just making a costume — we’re manifesting a pit crew and a sponsorship deal. 🙃

Day 109 of figuring out what I want to be when I grow up 🫠
No fancy setup. No dual monitors. Just vibes… and a decent chair.
✨ A desk that makes me feel productive
✨ A candle I definitely lit instead of answering emails
✨ And a workspace that’s holding it together better than I am

Sometimes the office doesn’t need to be functional — it just needs to match the delusion. 💁🏼‍♀️

👉 Linked my home office faves because chaos can still be cute.

Looking “rested” with a wild 5-year-old isn’t about art — it’s about products. 😂

✨ DRMTLGY Luminous Eye Corrector (goodbye dark circles 👋)
✨ DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer (dewy but not greasy)
✨ DRMTLGY Neck Contouring Serum (because gravity is rude)

📚 Books I’m reading as a 37-year-old who hates to read:

The Psychology of Money — Teaches you money trauma is real and compounding interest is hotter than any man alive.

The Reclaimed Woman — Healing your inner good-girl so you can stop apologizing for wanting more.

Existential Kink — Basically shadow work meets Fifty Shades of “oh damn, that’s why I sabotage myself.”

Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life — The logical girl’s guide to believing in delulu on purpose.

The Mountain Is You — The mountain is… you. Spoiler: you’re the problem and the solution.

The Untethered Soul — Teaches you how to stop being held hostage by your own thoughts. Good luck.

You Are a Badass (series) — The OG “get your sh*t together” pep talk in book form.

The Science of Getting Rich — Old-school manifestation but make it money math.

Rich As F*ck — For when you’re ready to stop calling it “manifesting” and start calling it a money era.

🍪 Warm, Chewy, Delicious Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Also known as: “How to make Nestlé Toll House taste like a bougie bakery cookie.”

Recipe:
1️⃣ Take ½ cup of dough, roll into thick balls

3️⃣ Line your baking sheet with parchment paper
4️⃣ Set oven to 400° (ignore the package, it lies)

6️⃣ Double up your cookie sheet — stack one pan on top of another
7️⃣ Bake 10–15 mins
8️⃣ Sprinkle with sea salt the moment they come out
9️⃣ Let them sit untouched on the sheet for 25 mins to finish cooking themselves in peace

🥹 Then enjoy the gooey, chewy magic you just created.

Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you have to pack away all your summer dresses. 🙅‍♀️

Most of them can transition right into cooler weather with the right layers.

Case in point: this Prana dress → lightweight, comfy, built-in bra + pockets 🙌. Add a Target denim jacket + white sneakers and suddenly it’s a perfect apple-picking outfit. 🍎🍂

So before you box up your summer closet, try pairing your fave dresses with a jean jacket, cozy cardigan, or even a chunky sweater layered over. Instant fall capsule without buying a whole new wardrobe.

The only thing standing between who you are and who you want to be? Confidence.

Not a new job title. Not a perfect morning routine. Not a 37-step skincare lineup. Just the guts to show up as her — before you feel ready.

That’s the work I’m doing every single day, even if it’s just putting on a graphic tee and jeans and deciding to show up anyway.

👉 Linked my Target tee because confidence doesn’t require couture — just clothes you feel like yourself in. 🖤
