5 More Sustainable Clothing Brands For Black Friday

Shopping

Happy Black Friday shopping! I threw this post together in hopes that it inspires someone to check out these brands during this crazy sale time (is it me or does it seem more intense this year?). I have just started to learning more about the manufacturing of clothing and how it’s contributing to climate change. It’s something I didn’t really think about until recently because it doesn’t seem like it would be as bad as planes and cars and such,…

2020 Favorites

Clothing Finds Shopping

On the last day of 2020, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite things from the year: APL shoes – these were a big postpartum splurge and I was hesitant because I didn’t know if they would be worth it. So worth it! I have worn these SO much in 2020 – for errands, walks, workouts. Love them! The beach! I’m so glad the beach was a safe activity this year (well, maybe not those crowded beach…

The Big Beautycounter Holiday Sale

Shopping Skincare & Beauty

I can’t believe the holiday season is here. We usually do a secret Santa with my family, and since I won’t be going to stores this year, I’m trying to get organized in advance. Shipping delays are also expected, so Beautycounter started the ‘Black Friday’ sale early. This is their biggest sale of the year, so it’s a great time to try new skincare or purchase gifts! Everything is 15% off with free shipping over $50. The big regimens +…

Nordstrom Sale Finds

Finds Shopping

I haven’t been too big on the Nordstrom sale in the past because I generally don’t much on clothes all at once.  But, when we were shopping for baby gear last summer, I realized there is so much more than just clothes on sale!   Hydroflask – I’m snagging this for myself. I’ve debated buying a hydroflask for a while, and you usually have to buy the straw top separately. So, it’s a good deal! Ezpz set –  We used…

Postpartum Finds

Baby Food Pregnancy Shopping

Distance Jogger – My sister told me about these at Athleta! They are perfect for postpartum because they aren’t as fitted as say the Align legging from Lulu, but are still very comfortable and stretchy. And, they are more dressy than leggings or sweatpants. Milkies Milk Saver – I’ve mentioned this before because it’s been great for my oversupply (not able to pump yet). Not only does it help me build up my freezer stash, but it catches all the leaking…

Beautycounter Holiday Gift Guide

Shopping Skincare & Beauty

Can you believe it’s almost time for the holiday season? I know it’s early November, but I wanted to share these holiday bundles with you early because they’ll likely sell out.  And, if you’re like me, I do my shopping mostly in November and try to avoid malls at all costs in December. Many of the gifts are under $50, and you can split up the sets for teacher or co-worker gifts. The smaller sized products are also a great way…

Nursery Tour

Baby Home Improvement Shopping

Here’s a little peek at baby Allen’s nursery! It’s a little bit plain/simple for two reasons. One: I was too tired this time around to plan every little detail and decided it was too expensive to do wallpaper or deal with paint, which is really what this bright white room needs. And, two:  because after using Emerson’s room (well the stuff in it)  for 3 years, I realized that the decor and room will evolve as baby acquires stuff and…

Cooking Food Ramblings Shopping

This beautiful star mobile from Friday Street Project on Etsy.  I saw something similar by Pehr, and this one was half the price and custom! This recipe for salmon burgers.  I’ve made it three times now with fresh salmon from the skillet + gf panko and it’s a good one. Reusable food storage bags – How did I not know these exist?  I actually bought them to store my pump parts in and will be getting more (maybe the silicone ones)…

Nesting Before & Afters

Home Improvement Pregnancy Shopping

I’m nesting like crazy over here.  It’s more intense this time around because: We haven’t been in our house that long and there are still a bunch of things I want to work on Emerson was in camp for 3 weeks this summer and I felt like I had to  accomplish all.the.things during those 3 weeks.  I want to spend some good quality one-on-one time with her in August rather than be running to Homegoods and such. Having one baby…
