The Beautycounter holiday collection is here and there are so many good gift sets! If you’re not familiar with the brand, it’s the skincare and makeup line I started using when pregnant with Avery. I like it first and foremost because it did wonders for my aging, tired, and acne-prone skin, but also because the company is committed to transparency and sustainability. They avoid chemicals that are questionable, harmful, or irritating (based on evidence) and batch test products to check…
Target Sandals – these are the most comfortable sandals ever. They don’t have the stiff bottom like most sandals – feels like memory foam – and I can walk forever in them. J Crew Denim Shorts – I hate shorts season! I have bigger legs and it’s hard to find shorts that fit around my thighs that aren’t too short – these are awesome! Surprisingly, the button fly is also more comfortable for me with high waisted denim. I think…
I thought it might be fun to share some spring favorites since the annual Friends & Family sale is coming up soon. Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be notified when it starts. First Date Lipstick – this is the perfect pink lipstick for spring. I’m not a huge lipstick person, but I may have to pull this one out for re-entry into the world (fingers crossed) or my first real date with Matt at an outdoor…
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 +…
Free People Skinny Sweatpants – I needed a non-legging comfortable option and these are great and reasonabily priced compared to a lot of joggers out there. Silicone Sippy Cup – Avery’s starting to drink milk and I wanted to find a plastic free cup for her because the stainless one I have is too heavy for her to hold. This is great and such a good price! This new concealer. It’s thick and lasts longer compared to the old formula.…
-How are you all? I’m almost too tired to think. I can’t even imagine how these reporters feel staying up late into the night for days. Their concealer must must be amazing. -We had a taste of winter weather over here, but I’m excited for a weekend back in the 70’s. It’s hard thinking about winter knowing that indoor activities aren’t really an option this year. -We had a fun time at the zoo last weekend. We celebrated my dad’s…
Beautycounter has launched so many new products this year. Here’s a roundup and reviews of the new products I’ve tried. The Clean Deo [the launch of the deodorant has been delayed bc of some shipping issues (basically, it wasn’t holding up well in the heat). Check for updates on Instagram or subscribe to my newsletter and I’ll let you know when it’s coming] This is a big product launch and has been 5 years in the making! I’ve been really…
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…
How was your weekend? This week is dragging slowly because Emerson is sick and Matt is traveling. But, we had a wonderful weekend with some incredible fall-like weather! We had our porch screen in last week and we spent a ton of time outside enjoying the space over the weekend. At one point we even had to bring blankets outside because it was so cold! I am in love with the porch and am sooo happy we did it. We…
