Hi there! Happy Monday!
A few weekends ago I was in Chicago with my mom and my youngest for his birthday. It was BITTER cold and “the Hulk” (Chicago wind) was living up to its name with a -28 degree windchill. I brought one coat to Chicago, the Abercrombie Dad Coat, and it kept me warm.
Do you have a good wool coat?

I recently shared the Snag Nab-It on my Instagram because I got a new pair of jeans for Christmas and they got a snag. I didn’t want to snip it with scissors because I was worried that they’d get a hole, so after some quick Googling I discovered this video and I was sold! I was able to repair the snag and I know this will be a useful tool for our business, Gumseat Productions, and at home. And it’s less than $5.
Have you this tool? If you buy one, let me know!

My brother gave me the best Christmas gift ever, the best electric toothbrush ever the Oral B iO 7. I haven’t had an electric toothbrush in years and this is far and away the best electric toothbrush I’ve ever used.
I love that the Oral B iO 7 toothbrush has an incredible app that coaches you (more pressure, reduce pressure, how much time in each area, when you have 100% coverage, etc). If you don’t use the app the toothbrush will vibrate every 30 seconds so that you move to a different area of your mouth.
Features:
The Oral-B iO Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush combines powerful, but gentle micro-vibrations with Oral-B’s unique dentist-inspired round brush head design for a professional clean feeling every day. The Smart Pressure Sensor helps to keep you from brushing too hard to protect your gums and enamel. AI Recognition using an interactive display helps guide you to your best clean for all areas of the mouth. A 2-minute quadrant timer comes built-in that pulsates every 30 seconds, ensuring a complete clean.

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.
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.

In high school, at an inexpensive mall nail salon, I got my first manicure. It was 2002, so what do you think I got? A french manicure with airbrushed tips, of course. And now, in 2022, the french manicure is back and it’s the same but different.
So, what’s the new style? It’s almost anything you want that is a bit different than the old classic. Colored tips, reverse french, embellished tips, or what I did which is the white french bordering the entire nail edge as opposed to only the tip.
My nails were done at a salon. My nails are a gel full set. I do still use my gel manicure kit for doing my own pedicures.
Have you tried this style? What do you think?

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, Happy Valentine’s Day!
I wear neutrals, mostly beige, cream, grays, and blush, with a bit of black. I don’t wear patterns, but I love classic materials and prints like tweed, houndstooth, stripes, and so on. I saw this Plaid Boucle Pink Tweed Blazer from Express shared by one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Amanda John, and while it’s a bit more bubblegum than the blush and nude pinks I typically consider a neutral I was willing to make an exception ; )
And a quick note about cost, I did get it on a bit of a sale but what I do when I want a new piece but don’t want to or can’t fit it into my budget, I sell things on local BST pages and make it a game. In a few days, I had enough to justify and pay for this jacket.
This jacket is a gorgeous boucle (pronounced boo-clay and meaning a loosely woven material made with fancy yarn, which has tiny loops or curls. Derived from the French word for “curl”, this type of cloth can be made in a single color or in a combination of several shades) of pink and white threads with a little bit of a clear, shimmery thread that gives the most stunning bit of sparkle without any actual glitter/sparkle/sequins or anything else that would look, in my opinion, less chic. It is fully lined with a pretty light pink. The style is cropped, but not too cropped, it hits about 1.5 inches below the waist of my high-rise jeans. It is structured in the shoulders, but it isn’t too much padding. It is very comfortable to wear and looks amazing with straight-leg jeans, white jeans, or black slacks.
I wore this with a pair of mom jeans and this Cuddl Duds thermal underneath.
Do you have any tweed in your wardrobe? I’d love to hear where you like to shop for tweed (enable me!)

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I remember in high school when cropped sweaters were popular but we wore them with cami tank tops under them. Now, crop tops have been popular for the past couple of years, and this fall I’ve been seeing cropped sweaters cropping [get it?] up everywhere. I snagged a super cute cropped cardigan from JustFab and wanted to share how I style it.
I have been a member of JustFab for years and to tell you the truth? It’s sometimes a love/hate. The shoes are SO cute, my favorites are the boots, and I typically have great luck with fit and comfort. I set up reminders on my phone, and *almost* always remember to skip the month, so I end up purchasing only about 4 times each year. I do get frustrated when I have a credit for months I forget to skip and get charged (valued at $39) and can’t use it towards more expensive items or use it for a less expensive item. I have noticed lately that the shoes I like are either $10 more or less than that value. I won’t sugarcoat it, that is annoying. HOWEVER, because of this, I have found several sweaters over the last year that I love.
This cropped sweater has precious pearl buttons. I think this sweater would be cute alone, but I prefer to wear it with a light nude-colored cami tank top that I tuck into high-waisted jeans so you can’t see it.
Where do you shop for sweaters? Let me know in the comments!

Hi there! Happy Monday!
One of my routines before bed is applying a lip balm product, and I got a sample size of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and I wanted to share my thoughts.
| LANEIGE | |
| Ingredients | Antioxidants, Hyaluronic-acid, Beta-glucan, Vitamin-c, Minerals |
| Active Ingredients | Vitamin_c, Hyaluronic_acid |
| Product Benefits | Moisture To Skin, Moisturizing |
I was worried that a lip mask would be messy, sticky, or uncomfortable for bed because my hair would get in it or it would get on my pillow. That has not been the case, and I use this mask several times a week, just a dab on my lips before bed, and my lips have been super soft. It is summer, so I’ll report back in the winter, but I love it.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I have been rocking very little makeup, but something that I wear nearly 365 if mascara. I curl my lashes some days, but not always, and I like a mascara that is wet, waterproof (a pain to take off, yes, but I prefer that battle over worrying about smudges or the panic that otherwise ensues every time my eyes water).
I purchased the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Waterproof Mascara recently and I’ve been a fan. I love that it’s a very mascara with the double curved brush makes applying mascara from root to tip a breeze. I am able to build up if I get a second coat on fairly quickly before the first one dries (I prefer to focus the second coat on the upper-middle and outer lash). This mascara does not flake or smudge on me. I get a ton of volume and a pretty fanned-out look (I can also wear just a tad of this on my most natural makeup days). The description does say that it is a fiber-infused formula, and sometimes I think fibers = spidery lashes, but I do not find that to be the case with this mascara. I use my favorite micellar water to remove this mascara.
