A Coat Your Tween Will Wear | Abercrombie Lightweight Packable Puffer

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Last year our oldest started 6th grade and it was her first year in a building that was operating like a middle school (switching classrooms for each period) and she did not want to wear a big coat to school. I get it, I remember being the same way. I wore a thin corduroy jacket in the dead of winter when I was 14, sorry Mom. I recently got her the Abercrombie Lightweight Packable Puffer and she LOVES it. It’s adorable, thin but fairly warm, and best of all? It’s a coat that my tween will wear.

I think this jacket would be fantastic for traveling, and I plan to pack it on a trip that we have coming up (we will be on the trip when you read this, Montana!) and I wish I had one myself!

If you’re not using a silk pillowcase yet…

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! Enjoy your Labor Day if you’re in the U.S.A.

I’ve been using a silk pillowcase for years, but if you’re not here is your perfect opportunity. This mulberry silk pillowcase from Amazon is absolute perfection and is less than a Starbucks run.

Amazon Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases are smooth which helps to reduce friction to help your skin and hair not tug. A silk pillowcase will help you to not get frizzy hair, or wrinkled smushed into your skin from your pillowcase, and as an added bonus? It feels much cooler than a regular cotton pillowcase.

Have you tried a silk pillowcase? I’m also a BIG FAN of silk eye masks.

Adult Acne Over-The-Counter | Differin Daily Deep Cleanser Acne Face Wash with Benzoyl Peroxide

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been using Differin Gel and Tretinoin for both adult acne (mostly blackheads) and wrinkles for several years. I recently saw a dermatologist for a skin check and was talking to her about the fact that despite my good skincare regimen, my blackheads are very persistent. She suggested that I try an over-the-counter face wash with Benzoyl Peroxide. I have not been using it enough to see fantastic results, but I also have noticed no negative side effects or drying out of my skin. I would be happy to share an update after I have used it longer.

Differin Daily Deep Cleanser Acne Face Wash with Benzoyl Peroxide

I am including the product details below. I am using the Differin Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser in the morning and continuing the same dual cleanser routine that I’ve been doing for over a year in the evenings (I start with a mild exfoliant and finish with a gentle cleanser).

Highlights

  • TARGET ACNE: Penetrates deep into pores with 5% benzoyl peroxide with less irritation & dryness
  • DUAL-ACTION FORMULA: Micronized, dual-action formula absorbs excess oil in the skin, while releasing a gentle moisturizer that won’t clog pores
  • KEY INGREDIENTS: 5% benzoyl peroxide that can effectively target and treat acne
  • HOW TO USE: Apply to dampened skin and gently massage, rinse thoroughly with warm water

Description

Differin Daily Deep Cleanser was developed by dermatologists and is effective without being abrasive. That means you get the clearer skin you want, with less redness and irritation. This unique, dual-action micronized formula works deep in pores to absorb excess oil while releasing a gentle moisturizer that won’t clog pores.

Feel More Confident and Fashionable This Fall

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s back-to-school week here and that means getting into a new routine. Often in a busy season, it is easy to wake up and just want to be cozy because you’re so overwhelmed, or feel like NOTHING looks good. Today I want to share a tip I know you’ve probably heard: Pick your clothes out the night before. But I will take it a step further.

Feel More Confident and Fashionable This Fall

Each evening I ask Alexa what the weather will be the next day, and then I think about what activities I/our family has. Do I have an important meeting? Do I need to run the kids around outside? Appointment? Etc. Then I pick my clothes, steam or de-wrinkle things, and put it all out in my closet. I also grab socks, bra, undies, and a workout outfit if I’ll be running or working out.

Do you pick out your clothes the night before?

Braided Rhinestone Slide Sandals | Target Dupe

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I found the most stunning pair of braided rhinestone slides from Target, the Women’s Lucy Braided Rhinestone Slide Sandals – A New Day.

Women’s Lucy Braided Rhinestone Slide Sandals – A New Day

The Women’s Lucy Braided Rhinestone Slide Sandals are 29.99 and you can often snag them for 20% off. They’re a dupe for the Madden Girl by Steve Madden Park Slides. I am a neutrals gal, but these are such a fun girly pop. They’re incredibly sparkly, especially in the sun, and this summer I am fully embracing everything Barbie Core and girly. I am wearing these at an upcoming rehearsal dinner with a dress, but they look equally good with jeans or sweatpants.

Normally a rhinestone slide would be a pass for me, but these? SO GOOD.

Abercrombie Denim Sale | My Favorite Abercrombie Jeans

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

The Abercrombie Denim sale is coming 8/11-8/14 and this is the time to grab your favorite jeans or to try out a new Abercrombie TikTok Jean. Today I want to share my favorite Abercrombie and Fitch jeans.

Curve Love Mid Rise Baggie Jean

If you haven’t heard, lower rises are back. Thankfully, the low rise doesn’t mean what it did circa 2003 (I am not ready to go back to the Christina Dirrty era, as iconic as it was) and I am a big fan of the mid-rise option.I have these jeans in cream and they’re so comfortable and go with everything dressed up or down. I size down in this style.

High Rise Loose Jeans

These are on my wishlist, and look so flattering on so many body types. They’re not *too* baggy.

Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean

My favorite jeans!

DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 Medical Grade Skincare

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It has been HOT and humid this summer and I’ve been wearing five makeup products each day with the favorite being the DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 because it is a super light coverage but enough to blur my imperfections and gives me SPF on my face.

DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46

I apply this with one of my favorite Real Techniques beauty sponges. I apply a layer all over my face and build it up a tiny bit on any imperfections. The DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 is a best seller on Amazon for a reason!

What is your favorite tinted SPF?

Camp Collage | Camp Trunk Decor

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Our daughter, Hailey, attended her first sleepaway camp a few weeks ago and we wanted to do everything we could to make it memorable. In a newsletter from the camp, there was information about Camp Collage and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted us to get one for Hailey.

Camp Collage

Camp Collage was founded by the Willoughby family after Darla, the mother, had made her three children collages for years. It is a family business founded in 2021 and I can tell already, they’re just getting started.

Camp Collage is an App that allows you to upload pictures straight from your phone into a collage that is then printed and ready for you to attach to the inside of your camper’s trunk, on the wall, or to the bunk. You can have the photos auto-populate or arrange them yourself, or do what I did which is autofill and then edit as wanted/needed. You can pick 15,25, or 35 images. I love that this is an affordable way to have a perfectly sized and nicely printed collage without having to deal with the hassle of making it yourself. Hailey LOVED having pictures of friends and family up while away at her first camp. She told us that her friends and counselor asked her about her college, and it helped with homesickness. As soon as we got home, she hung it in her room, and I love that it has the year because she can hang get one each year as a special tradition.

If you have a camper in your life, I think this is a fantastic gift idea!

Have you been to summer camp? I’d love to hear about it!

The Best White Sneaker | Elevated White Sneaker

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I kept running into situations where I needed an elevated white sneakers. I recently purchased the Frye Low-Lace White Leather Sneaker as my Mother’ Day Gift and I have reached for them so many times already.

Frye Low-Lace Leather Sneaker

Pictures do not do these shoes justice. The leather is pebbled, gorgeous, and incredibly soft. The inside of the shoe is nicely cushioned and I love that it’s a brown color so that it doesn’t get dirty from bare feet or sunless tanner. I have tied the laces and tucked them under the insert so that I can easily slip them on and off. These look great with shorts or a dress, and I love that they’re not clunky and are a bit more elevated.
