Today I'm honored to be back with another '5 Women On' topic. You might remember that I asked a handful of inspiring women to share how they're balancing motherhood + Quarantine back in April (which is still just as relevant). The article got a great response and I truly enjoyed learning from the other mothers in the article, and it sounds like you did, too. With that, I wanted to keep this going. ...

5 Women on How They’re Balancing Motherhood During Quarantine
This is a post I've been excited about for weeks and can't wait to share with you guys! Like most people out there, March and April have been a struggle. While I'm beyond grateful for our health, our jobs, and our family, it's a trying time for everyone in the world. Working while caring for George has been comical and quite honestly, I'm just trying to survive one day at a time.
Through it all, I've been leaning on connecting with others, especially other women and mothers who are trying to *balance* everything. With that, I thought it would be fun to share some tips from women I really respect. From women I work with every day to others in the industry who make it look easy, I've asked each woman below to share tips on how they're handling daily life right now.
Whether you're a mother or a woman trying to get through this time, I hope this article makes you feel connected and a little more sane. :) ...
15 Businesses Owned by Black Women
Today I want to highlight a handful of women run Black-owned businesses that create and sell a variety of beautiful, high-quality products. While it's always important to diversify where you shop, it's more crucial now than ever with a disproportionate amount of Black-owned businesses being negatively affected by Covid-19. The most recently available Federal Reserve data shows that black business owners are denied loans at twice the rate of white owners, so they are more likely to have trouble finding capital to survive the pandemic, among endless other unfair statistics. ...
5 Airport Outfits That Are Easy + Stylish
Travel is back, at least in some capacity, so I thought I'd round up 5 of my favorite looks from previous trips. When it comes to flying (or travel in general) I keep comfort in mind, but I also like to feel somewhat pulled together - especially if I'm hitting the ground running for meetings or plans once I land. ...
5 Things I’m Buying for the House (And They’re on Sale)
I feel like a broken record when it comes to Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home content but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to shopping the NSale. I always always stock up on candles. That is my #1 recommendation to anyone trying to navigate the sale. ...
5 Ways to Style a Blazer While Expecting
It's no shocker that I love blazers. They've been a closet essential for me for about a decade now - when I was teaching, and then post-teaching styling them down with jeans, over dresses, and so on. And as Austin would say, I hoard blazers...but at least I wear them often, right? Right. ...
How I Styled Maternity Staples Under $50
Since I was pregnant during similar seasons with both Charlie and George, I didn't have to (or want to) buy too many new clothes to fit the bump. First off, you really only end up wearing them for about 6-8 months, and secondly, there were only a handful of true maternity items I liked anyways - leggings, certain jeans, dresses, etc. Since I already had some of the staples needed, I was pretty particular about what I actually bought for my body during this pregnancy. And because I didn't want to spend too much more money, I really relied on places like Amazon for affordable staples that could be worn with or without a bump. I knew I'd be able to wear them while pregnant, and then again postpartum as my body recovered and was in between sizes. ...
The 15 Peasant Dresses You Need to See
I've gotta say, the peasant trend has come at a convenient time for me. Between pregnancy and now postpartum, it's safe to say if I'm not in leggings or biker shorts, I'm in some type of flowy dress. Plus, bump or no bump, I love the effortless look that a peasant dress can give. While my style isn't necessarily boho, I tend to seek out the peasant styles that have a simple, feminine touch, without too much fabric to get lost in. I'm sharing the 15 dresses you need to see within this style, from pricier options like this beautiful pink dress to a $30 Amazon midi that I own and really like. ...
I Tested 30 Affordable Makeup Brushes. Here’s My Top 15.
A few months ago I got a DM asking if I could review and share a list of affordable makeup brushes. Specifically brushes under $20 that blend nice and don't shed. I love a good challenge and was pretty excited to work on something like this. Makeup is something I've always enjoyed and it's been fun to test out over 30 brushes (yes, 30) and pull together a list of my top recommendations. The best part? They are all $20 or less. ...
The Only 5 Sandals You Need to See This Spring
Dallas is hitting the 70s this week so you know I'm pulling out all the spring things, officially. And at the top of my shopping list each spring is, of course, sandals. From casual ones to throw on with denim cutoffs or a skirt, to heeled options that elevate a look, I honestly get a little giddy shopping for spring sandals. What can I say? I'm an accessories girl. ...
