FRESH SPRING FAVORITES

woven basket storage

woven basket storage

I spent the last couple of days spring cleaning at my house and it feels so good to freshen up the house and my routine to welcome spring!  Here are five of my new spring favorites that I’m enjoying.

I’ve been using wicker baskets for storage in closets for over a year now but I recently found these cylindrical baskets and I love the way they look.  I like the white wicker bands and handles for a slightly different look, almost like they have been dipped in paint! I’m going to use these to store extra blankets for lounging on the couch so they have a stylish spot to home.

peony candle

At any given moment, I have a candle burning in the house when I’m home.  I love the way the scent fills the air and makes a house a home.  I recently found this Peony Petals candle by DW Home at TJ Maxx and I’ve been buying up every one I can find–they are that good.  I’m a picky with my candles and I’m not a fan of ones that smell too sweet or artificial, so these ones are a nice balance of natural peony scent.  I keep one in my office and another on the kitchen counter.  If you see more of these, snag them for me, k?

Ok quick update–I wrote this in the afternoon and then received another one of these candles as a gift this evening…this must be my signature candle scent! So in love!

dove bodywash

Speaking of scents, spring time means stocking up on more bath products!  Nothing like spring time to say out with the old and in with the new!  I just picked up these two new body washes from Dove and St. Ives (I was late to joining the apricot scrub bandwagon as seen here) at  Target and love popping open a new bottle to lather up with.  I’m replacing shower loofahs and puffs once a month to keep them clean, and I was happy to learn that you get a free up & up sponge with purchase of two body washes from Dove, St. Ives, and others.  I’ve been using this Dove dry oil moisture one for a few days now and I love the scent.  The argan oil is so moisturizing! (Can you tell I have a thing with scents?)

white open toe block heels

I love moving some of my fall and winter booties aside and pulling out spring sandals and open toe shoes.  I got this pair of white leather chunky heels from Zara last spring and am so excited to wear them this week!

wheelbarrow planter box

I’m so excited to actually have a backyard now and have been decorating like crazy (maybe a post on that soon?).  In addition to having a few potted plants, I’ve been wanting to plant some beautiful flowers to add some color to an otherwise very green yard.  How cute would it be to plant all of these flowers in the wheelbarrow?

    My favorite things about spring are definitely the brighter colors, open windows, planting and of course great skincare. I use dove because of my dry skin.

    I love those baskets, they’re so stylish! I need something like that myself for my bedroom. My boyfriend keeps throwing his work shirts in the corner, haha. Those open toe booties are lovely, too!

    Spring is in the air, and it’s fabulous! Your white, open-toe shoes… LOVE THEM! Must get some. You also reminded me that I need to start planting.

    Eeeeek, I love all the flowers!! I wish we had space to plant some, but we only have room for a few pots on our patio and I save them for veggies and herbs!

    Love your list of spring faves! I will be heading to TJ Maxx soon to see if they have any of those candles to try out! Having a yard is so great (except for all of the weed pulling) getting to plant all those awesome flowers! Hope you enjoy this spring and summer with those awesome flowers! Thanks for sharing.

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
