Ever since I cut my hair back in November, I've loved styling it with these jumbo rollers to get the 90's blowout look. It feels fresh, bouncy and actually really easy to do. Below, I'm listing out the products I use and I'm sharing a video on how I use them on my stories today. Oh and a lot of these are on sale right now a Sephora for the Spring Savings event (just use code SAVESPRING). ...
Most of the recurring messages in my DMs lately have been about postpartum, so I know a lot of mama's are going through it too, or are about to be. From what SPANX I'm loving to my postpartum beauty faves (aka things that are quick and efficient) to what I'm wearing, I'm happy to share what's been working for me. ...
It's taken me a few weeks to get this post together, but I definitely wanted to share what I'm actually living in postpartum this time around. Since Charlie's case was different from George's and I needed to go back to the hospital (sometimes multiple times a day) to be with him, drop off milk, etc., I ended up having to actually get dressed a lot more often than I did with George. And don't get me wrong, it wasn't cute, but postpartum is raw and real and I am totally OK with that! Not to mention I was still recovering from my C-section so truly, I had to be careful with what I was wearing so that I was decently comfortable. ...
As most of you know by now (and if you don't, head to the 'Charles' highlight on IGS if you're interested), we had Charlie much earlier than anticipated. So much so that I didn't have a hospital bag packed...or really anything ready, if I'm honest. So while I had intentions of sharing what I was packing for the hospital in my content calendar, our story didn't go that way. Instead, it was basically Austin tossing stuff in a bag for me, and then once I found out I'd be in the hospital indefinitely, a more curated packing job that I talked him through on Facetime. ...
Wow, what a blur April has been. Thank you all again for your support as Aus and I navigate our new normal, but I'm happy to report Charlie is doing really well! I'll share an update on George soon as well. Luckily I was able to get this month's top 10 together pretty quickly - I didn't want to skip it because there are tons of affordable Amazon finds in this one, among other crowd-favorites, that are definitely worth sharing again! ...
I've always been proactive about taking care of my hair. Whether that's through supplements and collagen or the styling products I use — I am all about making healthy habits to keep my hair looking its best. ...
I love the look of messy, loose curls. I often get asked how I curl my hair since I cut it (here's how I styled it when it was longer) and figured the easiest way to show you would be through a video. I tried to be specific and detailed since I share a few tips (and things to avoid) if you are trying to achieve that piecey, "undone" curl hairstyle. ...
We are finally starting to see what will be in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 catalog this year! This year is a little different in that there will be no paper catalog. Instead, we get to preview the catalog before the sale starts. Your first look is below! ...
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. ...
It's been 2 weeks since we've been home with baby George and I'm constantly asking myself what life was before this little one. While it has been a big adjustment, I don't think we've ever been happier.
I know many of you have requested a "hospital bag" blog post and it's still a question that continues to pop up in my inbox. The reason I didn't share this before baby was because I wanted to wait and see what we actually used and what we could have left at home. You guys know I am a minimalist when it comes to packing and I wanted to keep it that way for the hospital. ...
