Holiday Gift Guide: 4 Her

No Comments

I love giving gifts and searching for ideas is my favorite! So I’ve finally rounded up some items for my first ever gift guide. This one is for all the gals in your life. Perhaps some of these gifts are extra fancy and indulgent but sometimes that’s the best kind of gift to give since the recipient wouldn’t necessarily spoil themselves – you can do it for them! Under $55 1 – Beauty Bar Chocolate $13This fair trade chocolate not only looks delicious but it’s free of sugar, dairy, gluten and fillers. and is made with superfoods, adaptogens and pearl […]

Seven Things Sunday – vol.2

2 Comments

Hey friends! It’s Sunday again and we are less than 2 weeks out from Thanksgiving – how!?! I’m hosting a small get together this year so I’ve been trying to menu plan this weekend. Trying to be ahead of the game  instead of last-minuting it ya know. My must-haves are green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. I really could do without the turkey, haha, but it doesn’t really feel like Thanksgiving without it so I guess we’ll have that too. What are your must-haves and are you hosting this year? I’d love to know! Here’s this weeks Sunday 7:  1 […]

Seven Things Sunday – vol.1

No Comments

Switching up my regular Sunday post over here because, well the old one was becoming not that regular. If you read the last one, you’ll have seen that while I love to read and consume info and stories from articles around the web, my time to do so has dwindled so I don’t often have that many to share. So from now one I’m going to do a little quick-fire check-in each week of what I’ve been up to, what I’ve discovered and what I’ve been loving. This week flew by in the blink of an eye. My baby girl […]

October Subscription Box Favorites

No Comments

I’ve got a new monthly subscription box favorite items post for ya today rounding up the best of the best. I received a few new boxes this month that came with so many great items it was hard to pick favorites but I narrowed it down to one from each. Really though, they were all packed to the brim with goodness so be sure to check out my full reviews (each linked below!). From Petit Vour (full box review here):Akar Skin Balancing Toning Mist ($12) “Achieve true balance with this fine, non-sticky mist of rose and orange blossom. Spritz to provide […]

Lydia’s October Favorites

No Comments

I’m doing something a little different with this batch of monthly favorites! I’m always testing out new products for the baby to find the safest and cleanest, best performing items and I thought why not share what emerges as favorites here. So now baby Lydia has her own monthly favorites series! Babies have a TON of skin needs actually (especially with sensitive and eczema prone skin like her) so I figure we’ll be trying out a lot of products as the years go by. She obviously can’t speak for herself on how well these products work but I know she […]

October Favorites

No Comments

And here we are at the end of October somehow and I realized I haven’t shared any monthly faves since July! I’ve definitely been trying out products since then, but time has just slipped away from me. Summer always goes way too fast – I blinked and the leaves are falling, the trees look naked, all the sudden I’ve got a coat on and I’m shivering a lot more often. Ugh. But there is a bright side: this change in seasons usually means a change in products to keep up with the change in air and humidity and I love […]

Put to the Test – Round 7

No Comments

I’ve got a new batch of sample reviews for ya! This one is oranges just in time for Halloween. And don’t these look just like little candies – it’s what I’d like to find in the trick-or-treat candy basket for sure. I mean I love candy, but like I’ve said before, samples are my favorite thing and I’ve been trying to cut down my sugar intake anyway. If anyone knows of where they have adult trick-or-treating where this is the kind of loot you’d come away with be sure to let me know haha!   Speaking of being all healthy […]

Second Trimester Essentials

No Comments

If you missed my “First Trimester” post then I should clear this up right off the bat: I’m NOT pregnant, I’m just nostalgically taking a look back through the trimesters of my recent pregnancy to share my favorite things that got me through. For me, the second trimester was really when I started to accept that my pregnancy was going to be successful. Now, don’t get me wrong, I was still worried up until girl was earthside, but I felt a lot more confident hitting the second trimester mark. And if I’m being honest, it was really the 20 week […]

The Sunday Scoop #19

No Comments

It’s been a hot minute since I checked in with my weekly Sunday Scoop. Life, man. For now it’s likely going to be a monthly-ish scoop round up instead of my overly ambitious weekly scoop post. I’ve still been reading interesting things when I can, but my frivolous free time has felt more limited lately. I’ve been trying to enjoy the weather and get outside more, especially since fall is bringing the colder weather, and that means the phone gets set aside. That’s a bit of a lie, what I should have said is that the article reading part of […]
