I never thought I’d be someone that gave beauty advice, but here I am. I spent years (and lots of money) buying every brand of natural deodorant. You name it and I bought it. I tried Schmidt’s, Tom’s, Native, Primal Paste, Lume, EO, and that Thai crystal spray. None of them really worked and I…

This post is long overdue. Our kitchen is not actually done, but I’m at peace with the fact that it may never be perfect. When we started this process in January 2020, I could not have predicted a global pandemic. It took a village of contractors and friends to get the kitchen to functional status.…

Word on the street is that BeautyCounter’s Black Friday sale starts tomorrow (11/16), so I’ve compiled my eight favorite products for you. If I were a good consultant, I’d tell you to buy everything (and I’m not stopping you), but I’m lazy when it comes to my skincare. These are the products that are worth…

A year ago this week, I was pregnant with Lucy and I was frantic to replace my BMW convertible with a mom car. I don’t recommend buying a car when you’re hormonal and nauseous, but that’s exactly what I did. I ended up buying a BMW X1 after a quick test drive, thinking I had…

I love, love, love to read. I tend to read popular books of the moment, the ones chosen by Reese Witherspoon and Jenna Hager for their book clubs. However, I am trying to get better at choosing lesser known books or returning to the classics. I enjoy a quick, entertaining read just as much as…

Subscriptions can be a great way to save money, find products that may not be available to you locally, and remind you to restock before you run out. I’ve subscribed to many brands over the years and I try to do a yearly audit to see what products I actually used and which ones were…

Since I’m 39 weeks pregnant, I thought now is as good a time as any to share a few of my favorite pregnancy finds. I read several articles, blogs and received advice from others, so I will do my best not to repeat the obvious pregnancy must-haves. I wish I had known about a few…

If you’ve followed along with my kitchen remodel adventures via Instagram, you know it’s been a process. This past summer, Nick and I got serious about remodeling the kitchen and set aside a budget to get the job done. I try to support small businesses when I can, so I chose a local boutique design…

Crazy to think that Thanksgiving is only a week away. I compiled a holiday gift guide two years ago and it was well received, so I thought I’d give it a go again this year. As my 33rd birthday approaches at the end of the week, my gift giving has become a little more practical.…
