I know how expensive the holidays can be. My 4-year-old has a list that’s intimidating my bank account. I wanted to share some great options that are budget friendly! Happy shopping!

It’s not the prettiest topic, but it’s real. I struggle with anxiety and skin picking, especially my lips and cuticles. These are some of the things that have truly helped me, and I hope they might help you (or someone you love) too.

This is my first change of seasons in seven years since moving back up north. Here are just a few things I can’t wait for:

Out of the 30+ books my daughter borrowed from the library, these 10 were the ones she couldn’t let go of! Kid-tested, parent-approved, and perfect for adding to your reading list.

These are the products I use in my everyday makeup routine. I’ve also included a few helpful articles on how to apply makeup based on your face shape. Bonus: all products are cruelty-free!

I love supporting small businesses whenever I can. I’ve purchased from every business on this list and wanted to continue supporting them by sharing their info here.

These are my must-haves after trying so many different products over the past 4 years!
