Y’ALL it was 73 degrees in Raleigh today, and I Y’ALL it was 73 degrees in Raleigh today, and I died of happiness! 😊🌞 Unfortunately the skin on my face also died due to the sun because I completely forgot that sunscreen was a thing. 😬 I do not regret spending the entire day outside because Vitamin D and joy is > than perfect skin. But still, here’s your yearly reminder to wear ya sunscreen, folks!

Adding a link in my bio to my favorite non-toxic, eco-friendly sunscreens in case you need to stock up for spring!

Kelly put her e-Design skills to work and proposed two space plan options for my new socially conscious living room. Head to the link in my bio to learn more about the process and find out which option we chose!!

Would you choose Option 1 or Option 2? Remember, this is layout only - not exact furniture colors/styles!

Top of my gratitude list today: the fact that with Top of my gratitude list today: the fact that within the next month or two, the weather will warm up again here in NC. 🙏🏼😎 I am beyond grateful right now to have heat, power, and shelter; yet I cannot deny that the month long parade of cold, rainy, dreary days are weighing on me. Warm weather girl through and through! The winter teaches me so well to appreciate the summer. 

How are y’all hanging in there?

Where all my fellow beauty product junkies at?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Even if you’re not a junkie, this post is for you...read on!

When a friend in the nontoxic product industry asked if I had tried NakedPoppy, I was excited to learn about a new beauty brand and clean skincare marketplace (because...#productjunkie). When I tried their Beauty Assessment tool myself, I realized I had stumbled upon pure gold. This online tool matches you with the perfect nontoxic skincare and makeup products for YOUR skin’s unique needs, coloring, etc. And long story short...it works, based on my test run of it!! Whether you’re a junkie like me excited to learn about new clean beauty products OR someone who hates testing out tons of new products to find “the one” and wants an easy button OR someone who is overwhelmed trying to transition your skincare and makeup to nontoxic formulations, you will love this tool! Read my full review on the blog for more about my experience - link in bio. I hope this helps y’all find cleaner options that you love!

Love you, weirdo. Life hasn’t always been easy f Love you, weirdo. Life hasn’t always been easy for us (despite your constant sunshine-and-rainbows outlook!), but the last 10 years with you have been nothing short of amazing nonetheless! Through the good and the bad, you have been my constant. Thanks for being the anchor to my emotional, passionate, carried away self. There’s no one I’d rather have calm me down and find me a Mickey ice cream when I’m hangry at Disney World and dissolving into an existential crisis. Here’s to 10 x 10 more!
Every couple of months, I do a Small Joys post - a Every couple of months, I do a Small Joys post - all of the little things I’m loving or little life events that are bringing me joy! My latest Small Joys post is up on Fairly Southern. Naturally there are foster dogs mentioned...along with my new favorite snack, the new exercise routine I’m loving, and more! I also couldn’t resist sneaking a BIG joy in there as well. 😉 Link in bio!

Feeling 🎉🎉🎉 because I have PLANS tonight! Feeling 🎉🎉🎉 because I have PLANS tonight!! Zoom cocktails to celebrate a friend’s birthday! I feel like I need full makeup/hair and a ball gown to celebrate this momentous occasion! 😂 But actually, I do think it’s fun to dress up (and by dress up I mean something other than my uniform of old sweatpants/sweatshirt) for special occasions, even if happening virtually right now! I styled this “Galentine’s” outfit from @ashandrose to be very couch comfy in addition to cute—perfect for virtual occasions! Outfit details at link in bio if you’re interested. Be sure to check out the special meaning behind the elephant necklace! 

Also, just gonna throw it out there - silver lining of virtual social gatherings is all of the gasoline I’m saving. 🙌🏽 My carbon footprint has gone way down during the pandemic, and that is something to celebrate too!

Gotta find some quiet and stillness for a hot seco Gotta find some quiet and stillness for a hot second after the craziness of the past two days! As soon as one foster dog left, an emergency call came in from a rural NC shelter where 17 beagles had just been dropped off. Swipe —> to see the cutest lil nugget who ended up coming to our home from the shelter. Piper is still terrified and doesn’t like us to get too close just yet, but she sure is cute! And good thing too, because little lady is in heat and I have cleaned up just about every bodily fluid I can think of in the last 24 hours...poo, pee, vomit, blood ✅. It’s a glamorous life I lead, but someone’s gotta do it. And that lil face! 😍

Add onto all of that the usual battery of work calls, dentist appointments, etc etc and I am ready to take a dang break! 

I plan to sit in some quiet and stillness tonight. Then read a book. And only do one load of pee towels. 😂

How are y’all showing yourselves some love tonight? This week?

Who else has made their physical health a priority Who else has made their physical health a priority for this new year? 🙋🏻‍♀️I’ve been focusing on various aspects of health (emotional, mental, physical, etc) for several years now and have had my life transformed a thousand times over!

Anywho...if you’re someone like me who knows you probably need to get back on the multivitamin train to ensure you’re getting all the essential nutrients you need to feel your best, my latest blog post is for you. I tried out ethically sourced Ritual Vitamins for a month and have my honest review up on the blog. Go check it out to see whether these are for you! Link in bio.
