The easiest, classiest way to look good at the pool | The perfect coverup

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

My go-to pool cover is affordable and always makes me feel pulled together and good whether I am at the beach, at the pool, or out on the lake. I wear a pair of shorts and a long button-down top. My button-down is years old at this point from Walmart. It’s perfect. It’s sheer, it’s long, and it gives me coverage. I also have an old one from H&M. Today I want to share a few options I have found that are similar.

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.

My No Buy/Low Buy Update

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

We are halfway through 2023 already, and it’s time for me to update on my no buy/low buy for 2023.

I have so far followed all of my rules, but I have definitely pushed it a little bit. For example, I asked my mom for clothing and shoes for my birthday, and I had a few gift cards, and when I used those I would pay the difference and allow that. For example, I had a $50 gift card but spent $70. I also bought myself a Mother’s Day Gift that I picked which is what I told my husband I wanted.

Shopping Triggers

Shopping definitely gives a little happy boost, and fashion is my weakness. I notice that I want to shop when I’m really stressed, or sad, and sometimes just when I see a great piece that I think will be impactful in my closest.

What I’ve Learned

While I haven’t been perfect, the no buy / low buy has stopped me from buying things right away and made me pause. And a lot of times the “must have it” feeling will fade. Having to be creative with gifts and gift cards has also ensured I really research what I want. It helps me to save a web browser and I can always go back to the item later. It also helps me to organize what I do have, for example organizing my shorts or all of my hats. I also like putting together outfits from my closet instead of seeing a new item and putting an outfit together in my head with the new item.

Powder Sunscreen | Summer Beauty Must Have

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you tried powder sunscreen? I wear SPF on my face, neck, décolletage, and hands 365 days a year, and in the summer I add SPF slathered all over my body. This is my favorite body sunscreen and this is my favorite face sunscreen. I keep a very simple handbag (belt bag…) and unless it’s a special occasion, I keep a lip gloss and a face powder. But what I have been loving over a compact and powder is a powder sunscreen.

Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Skin Nourishing Sunscreen Powder Brush – SPF 30

I love this SPF powder makeup to toss in my bag. I am going to get another one to send with my oldest to school and then to camps. It shouldn’t be used as your primary or only sunscreen, but when you need to touch up this helps blot the oil AND gives you a little more protection. Plus, it isn’t messy. It’s a win, win, win.

Have you tried powder sunscreen? I would love to hear your favorites!

Full Brows |The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have decent eyebrows, they’re fairly full and I thankfully missed the overpluck of the ’90s, but I decided to try a hair growth serum to try to fill in the more sparse areas and get a little bit more fluffy brow hairs. The brow serums tend to be expensive, so I wondered if the well-reviewed hair growth serum from The Ordinary, a company I love, and I have loved the results. I love The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density.

The Best Lip Gloss of All-Time |Buxom White Russian Lip Gloss

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Today I want to shout out my favorite and most-reached-for lip gloss, Buxom White Russian Full-On Plumping Lip Polish. I love that lip gloss is on trend, it makes my ’90s girl heart so happy! I still remember applying Bonnie Bell Sparkle Lip Smacker in Vanilla Frosting (now a cool $100 on Mercari…) during commercial breaks during T.G.I. Fridays. Ah, the simple days. And I love that lip gloss offers a youthful, fresh look, or can be applied over lipstick to add dimension.

Buxom White Russian Lip Gloss

This lip gloss isn’t too sticky but lasts well, and the smell is pleasant. I love the color White Russian because it is the perfect pinky nude.
