For the Love of Summer

I find joy in each season, as they each have a special something that excites me. The change in the air, the change of colors and the special holidays that each season brings. Summer ushers in a childlike carefree feeling, a time to venture outdoors, wear all the colors and live outside of the usual day-to-day routine.

Life Lately As a Family of Four

Life as a family of four is in full force. Vivienne is just over one month old. She arrived a little over one week before my scheduled c-section date. She actually joined us on the morning of her baby shower … so we missed the party, but had our own little party at the hospital. We are over the moon with this sweet girl.

This rainy California weather has me thinking of the classic trench coat. No matter your style, this classic coat is a particular piece of outerwear everyone needs in their closet.

Last year, I donated my go-to trench that had been worn, loved and used to the point where stains were becoming permanent and the belt buckled finally broke. So, I am on the hunt for a new investment worthy one. Here is why I love it.

Skin Care Products I’m Bringing Into 2023

Last year I made some updates to my skin care routine. I enjoy testing new products from brands I already own, and discovering new clean beauty brands. Over the past several years, I’ve made a big effort to use only clean and non-toxic products or finding brands that use the best ingredients. Skin care is an investment and there are tons of skin care products on the market, so, if you’re willing to invest in your skin and invest the time to find what’s right for you, it is worth it!
