Nothing brings me more joy than seeing something unexpected, just tucked away unassuming in a corner waiting to be discovered.

Loving browns, oxblood, flowy pants and some cozy things.

Gotta run! Here are the items I keep handy for after my workout when I don’t always have time to run home, or if *gasp* the gym showers are full!!

My skin reacts to anything too occlusive, under hydrating, over hydrating to be honest but I still love a nice skin routine!! Here’s what I’ve narrowed down to over the years…

In order of use!!! Whether it’s Sunday afternoon, Friday going into the weekend, or just to unwind after a bonkers Wednesday- there’s nothing like an everything shower reset. Everyone deserves a little indulgence!

Here is the step by step of my PM skincare routine. I try to keep it mostly to basics but what is life without a little luxury added on! My skin can be draaaamatic but this is what I have found is a good balance of actives and hydrating products.

If you have fine hair but a lot of it - here is what I recommend trying. I’ve also found I’m happier when my hair stylist uses a razor cut instead of scissors, but since I can’t put him on here- here’s the rest of my recs

Here's where you might find me with a free day in the South Hills of Pittsburgh…

I live in 6b and have been developing what once was an overgrown mess of a woods into a moody, lush corner of my garden. Here’s everything you need to start!

This was inspired by the french potager style and it is easily modable to anyone's space constraints! I tried to add structure with the bird cage and then some organization with an herb plant in each corner (thyme, chives, parsley, dill) and a large rosemary in the middle, dotted with a purple petunia in between each - which started to flow over the sides as summer continued. I used a clematis to train up two of the sides, which hopefully will look even better next year! I also added some potted lavender around the base. I love this look and can't wait to do more with it next year!

I am sad summer is over, but that just means that it's time to plant fall bulbs. Fall planted spring bulbs are perfect because they nestle in all winter for a beautiful show in the spring and require basically zero care! These are my favorite bulbs from my favorite online retailers. Now is the perfect time to get your orders in so these get planted before frost. I also highly recommend the tool to make sure they're getting deep enough, so the squirrels don't enjoy them before you can.

This is my most-reached for genre. Other important needs: snack, blanket, face mask, and a candle. Bonus points if its raining!
