You win some, you lose some, and I am certainly losing this one.

But I am going to practice what I preach and make a conscious effort to be a little more gentle with myself going forward. It is SO easy to get caught up in crushing goals in this new reality of working from home and feel like we must be 150% productive. But guess what, this new reality comes with a whole new set of circumstances and lot of unknowns so be kind. lighten your expectations of yourself and others. and let. that. shit. go. And curl up in something cozy, because some day you have to put on real pants again, but today is not that day. I am loving all things light and floral these days, and pining for approximately 20 flowy summer dresses from Tuckernuck - they have the absolute BEST selection of well curated clothes and accessories for a girl that loves flirty dresses, outstanding basics and fun accessories at a variety of price points! Their buyers have a really great pulse on designers that I don't typically see when shopping large department stores - like the designer of this pretty peachy floral dress below - BYTIMO

Cheers to April Showers bringing May Flowers and a renewed sense of color and energy. Until then, you will find me on the chaise lounge re-reading the Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy for the 64th time.
Anyone else acutely aware of every clogged pore, pimple, or dark spot on their face right now? After reading countless articles about why now is the time to experiment with new beauty products, to prioritize self-care and to cleanse our homes of chemicals and ingredients that aren't serving us, I decided to re-evaluate my skincare regimen. Not to mention, my not-so-casual uptick in running, and sweaty Sculpt Society living room cardio dance sessions between emails and never-ending Zoom calls had left my skin dull and bumpy. I have always been fairly consistent with sticking to "clean" brands when it comes to food and skincare, but until recently, I wasn't paying as close attention to ingredients beyond being "clean." For me, this meant finally taking products out of my skincare regiment that included ingredients my digestive system doesn't tolerate well, in my case, dairy, eggs, etc. While I occasionally allow myself a piece of cheese or something chocolatey, I do my best to stick to a vegan and gluten free diet, about 80% of the time. And when I do - I without a doubt look and feel my best. So here we are, a completely revamped routine that is simple and addresses my specific needs, including solving for dull, clogged, and dehydrated sensitive skin. You will see that I like to keep the number of brands that I use to minimum, and that is for two reasons. One, because many brands formulate products to work well together, and I like to honor that! And 2) because Sunday Riley, Drunk Elephant, and Goop have all been consistently transparent about their formulas. Each brand has a stellar vegan product offering, and many of these products are also gluten free, fragrance free, and cruelty free. AM ROUTINE |
