New Shopping Feature
Hello everyone!
I wanted to announce a new feature I have on my site now. I often get asked for suggestions on items to shop for so I figured I’d create a curated series of picks I would recommend. I’ll have it on my main menu alongside my ’Shop My Instagram’ feature. It will be seasonal picks or themed picks, such as ’Shop Beauty’, ’Shop Spring Picks’, or ’Shop Summer Picks’. I’ll change it as each season goes by or when I find things that I would recommend purchasing!
Cooper’s Favorite Treats
I can honestly say that we spoil our dog, Cooper. We rescued him a couple of years ago and since then, have grown our bond with him. He really is the sweetest thing and we love him more than anything. So we make sure that we give him plenty of good treats as part of his training and just as snacks maybe for after dinner or when we leave the house. We generally try to choose snacks that are good for him like dental chews to help with his teeth, bully sticks, yak sticks, etc. Here are a few that we often get for him!
President’s Day Sales
I usually save my shopping for major holidays so that I can restock or replace my staple pieces on sale. There are a lot of sales running this weekend for President’s Day so here are some of my staple clothing pieces that are currently on sale! They will probably run until tomorrow so take advantage!
Primally Pure Dream Getaway Sweepstakes
Primally Pure is a brand that I have been using for a long time and love. When I decided to switch to a natural, aluminum free deodorant, it took me a long time to find the right one that works for my body. I finally stumbled on Primally Pure’s and it was the first one that really worked for me.
I recently purchased a starter kit for myself which includes lip balms, facial sprays, deodorant, and a body butter. Because I already loved their deodorant so much, I figured I’d try out the rest of their products too. EVERYTHING smells so good and I love that there isn’t anything artificial about their products.

Oversized Coats
Although I’m looking forward to warmer weather and Spring coming up, I do enjoy being able to throw a sleek coat over my outfits to create a complete look. But in many places, it’s still going to be really cold for a while longer, so if you’re not over coat season (like me), here are some of my picks for oversized coats perfect for throwing over any outfit!
Beige Tones
If you look at my closet, you’ll see a lot of neutrals in white and beige tones. I find this color palette so serene and soothing so I always gravitate towards it.
January Home Refresh
January usually means a refresh in some ways for everyone. Sometimes that means just changing up your home, cleaning up all the holiday decor, and maybe even switching up the style a bit. It’s a good time to do it because a lot of home decor companies run a sale in January. Traditionally, linens go on sale in January in a ‘white sale’ because people have white linens and I think it’s because everyone wants new linens, towels, and textiles in the new year. But use it as an opportunity to refresh your space! Especially when there are some pretty good deals!
Here are some things I chose!
Goals for the New Year
Another year has gone by and it’s been yet another challenging one at that. I blinked and we’re about to hit two years of this pandemic but I’m going to try to set some goals for myself that are sustainable to better myself in various ways. They are not necessarily resolutions because I find that it often doesn’t mean longevity and after a bit, you stop doing it.
- I’m going to try to drink more water. I have a hydro flask and I tend to drink maybe one bottle of it through a work day. My goal is to try to work towards drinking maybe two of it during a work day. I usually will have a glass of water in the morning with my vitamins, my hydro flask during the day, and then a glass of water in the evening. I do have maybe a tea or coffee sometime each day but I don’t count that towards my water intake. It will probably make my skin look better and make be feel better overall.
- The Welly bottle is something I use to steep my teas and keep it hot for the majority of the day. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but I do drink a lot of tea. It makes me feel better and it’s a good amount of caffeine; although I don’t really need the caffeine. It’s more of a treat for me. Something tasty to drink while I’m at work that’s not horrible for me.
- I picked a Kindle because I want to read more books this year. I picked it up again recently but need to make more of an effort to read a bit each day. Rather than watching tv or looking at my phone, I’ll try to work towards finishing more books this year.
4. Another goal I have is to continue being less wasteful. I make it a goal to try to use less plastic in our household, more reusable products, and just create less waste in general. I love reusable produce bags for grocery shopping and I want to invest in a good bento box for lunches I bring to work each day. We are big on leftovers so that we save money and don’t waste food so I want to get cute lunch boxes soon.
5. SPF, SPF, SPF. I am in love with Supergoop’s because it gives me this amazing glow. I often get asked if I’m wearing any makeup or highlighter when I don’t and it’s because of this SPF. Not only am I protecting my skin but it also looks great! I started wearing more SPF this year and I am definitely doing to continue next year. Gotta keep that youthful glow!
6. I started taking Pilates with my friend this Summer and we purchased a membership so that we can go about twice a week. I’ve been feeling great because we’ve added weekly Pilates to our routine.
7. My last goal is to try to organize the house more. I love the Container Store for storage and organization options. We have accumulated a lot of things in the house and I want to work on reorganizing all the clutter.
That’s all I got! What are your goals for the next year?!
