Josie's Lucky Fin

Josie at 6 months TW: Birth Trauma, Postpartum Depression Mom guilt is an immense force of pain that absolutely nothing could prepare you for. It overwhelms you even during what should be some of the happiest moments of your life. It’s the worst emotion honestly. The feeling that this little being who means the entire world to you cannot count on you to do what’s best for them. It hits you at…

Five years later, I'm back.

Here I am, with plenty of time on my hands. Why didn’t I take this up again during the pandemic? No idea. I’ve decided to start blogging again! I loved this platform the first time and now that my life has changed I feel like I can truly devote the time to making it great. I guess stay tuned to what I’ve got coming?

Summer purse must haves

Summer is officially in full swing in Chicago! With all of the rooftops now open, street festivals, and movies in the park, in outside soooo much more than I am normally!!! With temps now climbing toward 100 and the humidity always wreaking havoc, it can be pretty miserable to have fun. Over this past weekend I attended the pride festival and after a few hours went to the bathroom with a friend.…

We’ve lived in this apartment for almost two years… which means my boyfriend has been bugging me to clean up this closet for……. about two years. I really wanted something that I could actually use to get ready.. not something that just stored my many (many) things. So.. because I can’t put any holes into the walls (we are renters) I had to get creative. The first thing I did was purchase five Sterilite three drawer units and organize all my makeup/skincare.

(Click on photo to buy!)

For me, it was easiest to write out 15 categories I wanted on post-its, put all of the units on the floor around me and play around with how I would put those categories together. This was much easier than putting things in and taking them back out 100 times (I can be pretty indecisive). After I had put the drawers on the shelves, I took apart my old shelving unit and installed a new one. I bought a bathroom towel rack because I felt it was perfect for the space that I had without taking up the entire closet (this way I can store things on the side).

Since the shelves were smaller than the canvas totes that I was using before, I had to find a new way to store curling irons, blow dryers etc. I found this really cute wire basket at Target that was perfect for the shelf above.

I then ran into the problem of storing small items on the shelves of the towel rack that I bought. The slats on the shelves were just wide enough that small perfume bottles didn’t store well and easily tipped over. I went to Lowe’s and bought a 12” x 72” plywood board and got it cut into five 12” x 14” rectangles.

I didn’t want the wood to be super thick so I chose the ¾” thickness but obviously, you can use whichever feels most comfortable! I then spray painted them a baby pink and sealed them so that any liquid spilled wouldn’t ruin the wood. I set everything up.. but still felt the shelf was missing something…

You know those wall clings? That have inspirational quotes that you can semi-permanently put on the wall? They apparently sell semi-permanent WALLPAPER… and it’s AMAZING. I found this rose gold print at target and papered the back wall of the closet making it appear less bland!! It looks amazing and takes the space to another level. Seriously. I hung up this super cute mirror that I also got at target. I threw in a mini vase for flowers and that’s it!

I literally feel so much more relaxed with all of that clutter gone! I can’t even describe how at ease my mind is! It’s crazy what a little Konmari method does to the soul!

I wanna see your beauty space!! Post your photos in the comments!!!!!

Flowers make some so happy. Anyone else feel the same way?? This month I’ve been focusing on doing something every single day that makes me happy. My boyfriend brought home six bouquets of flowers yesterday and literally made my month.

Calamine Lotion

Calamine lotion: The best acne spot treatment!

Calamine lotion is something that my family has used to treat minor skin ailments for my entire life (and probably my parents entire lives as well). I feel like its one of those southern home remedies that every one in the south stands by like corn starch for diaper rash and salt water for sore throats that everyone forgets about but actually helps.

The Best Moisturizer EVER

A few years ago I signed up for a pretty popular monthly subscription box that contained a tiny bottle of this moisturizer and within a few weeks of use I was immediately HOOKED.

This moisturizer is amazing!!! It is lightweight enough that it doesn’t make your skin greasy and heavy, it helps even your skin tone, and gives your skin that dewey glow we all strive for.

The best part about this is…

I took a month off to de-stress. Working two jobs and trying to maintain this page began to be too much! I spent free time that I did have writing; not focused on social media and branding and it has paid off! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 • • • #theroseorder #beautycare #lifestyleblogger #skincare #beautyjunkie #blog #blogger #skincareblogger #selfcare #personaldevelopment #lovelife #beauty #beautysecret #chicago #chicagoblogger #antiaging #health #healthyliving #glam #midwest #manifestation #spirituality #freedom #worklifebalance #inspiration #hydration #cleaneating #wellness #metime #soulcare (at Chicago, Illinois)
