Spring 2024 Favorites
I think what I hate most about the end of each year is actually the looming presence of spring. She’s off in the distance, just out of focus enough to forget about her, but then WHAM – she hits you in the face! Literally. With sideways rain. I mean don’t get me wrong, I hate January through March too but those are typical hated months. April and May are SO much worse because they tease the…

Vision Boards, Schmision Boards
First let me start by saying that I am not hating on vision boards. As an equal opportunity supporter of all things self-improvement – if you must board your visions, by alllll means. I just tend to take a more gradual, easier to swallow approach for reaching goals. Maybe it’s the Hufflepuff in me (omg I’m being such an elder millenial rn) but can’t we take it easy on ourselves? Disclaimer: This…

10 Years of Christmas Lists
Some things never change. The sun will always rise in the east and set in the west. What goes up will always come down. Wicked on Broadway. And the annual posting of my Christmas list. As I look back on years past, I realize that really – I haven’t changed. Sure, it’s always a different perfume, skinny jeans have evolved into wide-leg, gold jewelry, then silver. But really, I still like what made…

2024 Fall Beauty Favorites
Well, shucks. ‘Tis November already and your girl’s been a little bit absent around these parts. It’s tough to keep all the plates spinning, especially when the plates are full of stressful work, broken Christmas ornaments, and a (now) 3-week school closure. But lucky for you I fall victim to guilt. Guilt of all kinds! Of course Mom-guilt, but there’s also Catholic-guilt, and most relevant here,…

When Did it End?
Why is this song so perfectly applicable to anything sad? Billie just get it. I almost didn’t write this post at the risk of sounding like another millennial mom, droning on about how time is a thief, how we blink a year drifts by, but today I am putting that aside. I am writing it TF down because another summer has gone, and doggone it – it’s the year of the Barbie movie! Clara is going to 5…

NYC Family Vacation Recap
NYC!! What is it about you?? Like Annie’s “star-to-be”, I am still asking myself this question. Is it the FIVE Ladurée locations? The abundance of rainbow bagels? Or just the knowledge that SJP’s Manolos have clickety-clacked upon the same upper east side sidewalks that you find yourself standing on? Back in May our little family descended upon the city that never sleeps and packed a week’s…

Our 4-Year Favorites
“Three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time.” Yeah no sh*t Gandalf. Countless nights in my younger, single years wondering if “he’d call”. Going to bed early because I was bored. Sauntering to-and-fro the aisles of Goodwill to kill time. What I wouldn’t give for time like that again. Alas, my husband and I find ourselves near middle age with a 12-year-old and a…

2023 Mother's Day Gift Guide
Hear ye! Hear ye! Mothers Day is upon us! A day where it’s finally about us, the moms. Maybe it’s a traditional breakfast in bed, or our favorite Starbucks in a Venti, a meal out, a day of shopping, A NAP. Growing up, we would bring my mom breakfast in bed and she’d be so sweet and act surprised and eat as we all watched. As I got older I realized my mom doesn’t even like breakfast, and was…

Achieving Lovely Locks: My Hair Journey
Recently I’ve received several compliments on my hair. “Natalie, your hair is so long!”, “Your hair looks so healthy!”, “What are you doing with your hair these days?” Ok maybe it’s only been like 3 people. Either way, it’s enough to inspire a blog post and incite hair euphoria because as many of you might know, it hasn’t always been like this. I’ve written about my hair countless times, most…

First Makeup Haul of 2023
Oh, dear lord. It is March. MARCH. This might be the longest I’ve gone without writing it’s really been eating at me. About 4-5 days ago, I broke out all along my jawline. Like, it’s giving high-school. Things have been crazy at work and in my life but I honestly think I have pent up creative aggression. Hopefully after I hit publish, all my problems (and zits) will just go away! So yes, things…

My 2022 Christmas List
My 2022 Christmas List
Can you believe I have been posting my Christmas list on this blog for 9 years? NINE. If you need a laugh, go take a gander at my 2013 list where I include a statement necklace from Forever 21, a DVD, AND a Lord of the Rings phone case. No words are needed. Millennial me has slayed and will continue to slay. But now. Now I slay in a slightly different way. With outfits purchased at the bins,…

My Grown Up Christmas List
My Grown Up Christmas List
Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee. Unfortunately this post is anything but a “grown up” Christmas list. Although I would love for no more lives to be torn apart…it is definitely not my lifelong wish. Well, it is and it isn’t. Can’t everyone have a friend AND I get the new Jo Malone perfume? ANYWAYS. For those of you don’t know – my birthday just happens to fall on Christmas Eve. And save…

Self-Care and Fall Favorites
Self-Care and Fall Favorites
Holy November. Life has really gotten the better of me lately. A combination of work and an escalating side-hustle have left me completely depleted as of late. Then, you factor in 2 kids, a dog who pees on the carpet, and menty b struggles – it’s been a busy fall. But also, everything is great. E is doing well (all things considered) in middle school, Clara is tolerating preschool/daycare. David…

Disneyland Vacation Recap + Tips
Disneyland Vacation Recap + Tips
So I realize I am about 3 months late with his post, but better late than never eh? It sure has been a minute since I did any kind of a vacation re-cap, but this time I might actually have valuable information to share, so let’s go. But first, a quick run down of our June vacation itinerary and the reasons behind the choices we made. Tickets – We decided to spend 2 days at Disneyland, and…

We Started Daycare
Hi folks. Today, I am callin’ it as I see it, no sugar-coatin’. I am doing this for a couple of reasons. First, the state I am in just plain sucks. And because I notice that ESPECIALLY when it comes to our kids, we have a hard time admitting when things are less than ideal. And I get it, it’s way more fun to post a pic of their toothy little grins with captions like, “First day of school…

Summer Favorites
So the summer is just flying by for me. Anyone else? I blame June. June was an asshole this year. Just abysmal and then all of the sudden it was the 4th of July and I have barely had any watermelon or walked around outside without shoes on. Luckily I think we’ve had enough nice days to qualify as a pseudo-summer, at the very least. My summer usually involves air-dried hair, no makeup, shorts,…

Updated Skin + Body Care Routine
Updated Skin + Body Care Routine
Ladies and gents, it is time! So many new things have entered my life as of late, but the most notable is arguably all the new skincare I have been using! And I don’t know about you, but I am a “switch it up” kind of gal when it comes to certain beauty products. Of course we all have our tried-and-true, ride-or-die faves, e.g. Cetaphil cleanser, Donna Karen Cashmere Mist deodorant, or the…
