CELEBRATING REACHING YOUR GOALS

I am loving this week!  It’s been beautiful here in the bay area so I think I might have officially transitioned to a spring wardrobe!  I’m sure this is a fluke but this gorgeous weather start to March has me smiling ear to ear!

Today I’m wearing a casual double-stripe situation with my dress and oversized cardigan and going for open toed shoes because–It’s 75 and sunny!  This delicate teeny-tiny diamond necklace from Diamond Foundry has been on my neck non-stop lately, as a reminder to go for what makes you happy and to stay strong.  I’ve always been a supporter of sustainable fashion brands (like in these posts here, here, and here) so it’s nice to know what I’m wearing utilizes innovation and technology via a hot-forged process, rather than being mined from the earth.  For a delicate piece that for me represents strength and achievement, its important that they’re committed to ethical processes for sourcing their materials.  The hot-forged process is pretty cool–the eco-friendly diamonds are made locally in San Francisco by placing a thin slice of diamond into a reactor (as hot as the outer layer of the sun!) to then build atoms into the diamond to form the gem.  They even reuse the original diamond fragment on the next gem!

 

I mentioned in my Valentine’s Day post that it’s important to celebrate yourself and take the time to reward for being YOU!  Specifically I’m talking about celebrating my goal of finally starting a YouTube channel when I’ve been wanting to for YEARS.  I’ve always been a huge fan of various YouTube channels but was always found some reason or another not to start my own.  Finally I planned out my approach, what kind of of content I wanted to create, and pulled the trigger–ahhh!  The first step towards your goal is always the hardest and most scary, so it’s special to celebrate and partner with Diamond Foundry to help craft and celebrate your hard work with a special stone.

What special ways do you celebrate yourself and your successes?

xoxo

    I love the idea of celebrating success! These first two days of March, I’ve already met 2 goals of 10 on my Monthly goal list. I think I’ll treat myself to an hour of “me” time when my daughter goes to bed. A nice book and warm bath sounds great 😉

    Congrats on starting the YouTube channel. I have one but never get around to posting. Every year I tell myself, this is the year I will get good at blogging, or at least make it a habit. But that has yet to happen. Alas, at least there is still time this year to think about it. – Katy

    In my world there’s always a reason to celebrate! Investing in a lovely diamond is the perfect way to spoil yourself. The beauty of your sweet diamond necklace lies in it’s simple understated elegance. Congratulations on your brand new YouTube channel. I send good wishes for it’s smashing success!

    You are gorgeous as always!

    Same feeling I got when I’m starting my own fashion blog. I admire a lot of bloggers and youtubers out there and I always wanted to blog/youtube but excuses keep me away from it. I finally took the first step to start a blog not long ago (it feels scary, overwhelmed but so exciting at the same time). I have a day job and can only blog once or at most twice a week. Reading blog post like this inspires me a lot and encourage me to set goals and pursue my dreams!

    You are amazing and I wish your youtube channel goes well! <3

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
