recently, i’ve been renting high end clothes from Nuuly as an alternative to buying new clothes for nicer occasions and events. not only is it cost effective, but it’s so fun to pick out new pieces- 6 rentals for $98/mo! including a pre-paid shipping label and i don’t have to dry clean it. what could be better?

i’m loving this alternative. have you ever rented clothes from Nuuly or rent the runway? thoughts??

Many of my friends have raved about mouth taping and the benefits from it. they cite reasons such as a snatched jaw, better sleep, and no snoring.

of course i had to try for myself! i bought the skinny confidential mouth tapes from Revolve so i could get the free 2 day shipping. so far, i’m loving it and my sleep is definitely enhanced!

have you tried mouth taping? what benefits have you seen from it, if any?

my son and my puppy Ivy are as thick as thieves now, but teaching them how to play gently took some time! i’m sooo glad they are growing up together, and i know i’m not alone with this thought! there’s nothing more precious than a dog/kid relationship! it has many mental health benefits for both the pup AND the human.

Ivy is a Havanese, which is an extremely family-friendly dog breed. We just love watching their relationship grow and see how they play, learn, and grow together. their relationship is precious and brings happiness to all of us.

If you’re expecting a baby and already have a puppy at home, I’ve linked an ASPCA article which gives some guidelines to safely help prepare your pup with all of the life changes that come with bringing a new baby home. It’s so sweet to grow up alongside a dog, and has great benefits for both

As a self proclaimed skincare girlie, I’ve loved trying all of the different skin products and companies in Paris. Caudalie is one of my personal favorites! it’s really crazy and disturbing what is allowed in makeup and foods by US standards, so I’ve been gravitating towards European makeup as much as I can.

Common contaminants found in makeup range from lead and asbestos to phthalates and more. They can be found in lipstick, powders, fragrances, nail polish, lotions and other beauty products. The health risks associated with this dangerous list of hidden ingredients include cancer, fertility issues, hormone imbalance and neurological issues, to name just a few.

I’ve been doing lots of research into ingredients and what actually benefits your skin. I have TikTok to thank for inspiring me to do so!

Have you ever tried Caudalie or any European makeup? What makeup do you use? Are you inspired to go clean?
