The Sephora sale kicks off today and it’s my favorite time to restock on favorites and try out a few new products. It’s the perfect time to pick up gifts and get those holiday sets too. I’m trying out makeup and hair care, but not changing up my skincare routine this year. Happy shopping!

I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m a spring/summer girl, but with fall right around the corner and mornings already dropping into the 50’s… I’m getting prepared! Last year, my closet felt like it was lacking weather-appropriate clothing, so this year I’m purchasing a few key pieces. I kept a list last year of what I was missing, and have been hunting down the best of the best (with cost in mind of course). These are my picks!

August rolled around so quickly this year! This is everything my 8 year old daughter and I are currently wearing. She loves to match and I am leaning into it for as long as possible! She is very into Stevie Nicks’s style mixed with LoveShackFancy and I am very into simple basics so we’re blending all our favorites together! I find it easier to coordinate than to buy mommy/me styles so we can shop around for the perfect fit :)

Everything in my everyday makeup/beauty bag! As I get older I tend to keep it simple for day to day and love the routine! My goal is always to have natural, glowy skin, long lashes, and soft lips! I have combo, sensitive skin and everything on this list is my tried and true and never makes me break out.

Summer is my favorite season and after a big spring clean out, a little refresh is always needed! This summer I’m leaning into ocean hues with a few sunset pink/yellows thrown in. Think mermaid summer complete with satin and sparkles ✨ and a dash of cowboy neutrals and naturals 🤍 This is everything I bought from clothes to beauty and everything in between!

Every coffee lover has their favorite machines and gadgets - mine make school drop off/work mornings easier but also give me slow, whimsical weekend mornings. Expresso, cappuccino, iced, or hot coffee… whatever your flavor I’ve got you covered!! These are the machines and accessories we use on a daily basis - easy to use, easy to clean, and always make the perfect cup. PS - for the best cold brew, brew the night before and keep in the fridge - also make ice cubes with the same coffee!

My packing list for our upcoming two weeks away. Warm weather means light layers, mix and match options, workout gear, swimwear, and of course some fun accessories ✨ I love to pack in a colorway because it’s easier to mix and match for outfits and it makes laundry a breeze. I am diving into sea greens and ocean blues for this trip but couldn’t resist just a little bit of pink.

Consider me the friend who will try all the newest beauty items and only recommend the absolute best. Once I find something I consider my tried and true I stay loyal - and I’m sharing them here with you.

I have frequented Myrtle Beach for over twenty years now, and lived there for three! Now that my daughter is a little older we are taking more frequent trips there and staying for shorter periods of time. We stay at a family home, so I put together a list of a few of the places we frequent while we’re in town and options of what I pack so everything fits in a carry-on.

I’m an agenda enthusiast and have been since I was young. I’ve searched for the best covers, best inserts, and even best pens to keep my thoughts clear and my days organized. Personalize to you - daily, weekly, or monthly inserts, finance, habit trackers, or to do lists - if you’re someone who likes to write things down this list is for you!
