For many of you, the kids will be back in school soon, if not already, and this is the first year that I have a "back to school supply list" for my oldest son. I remember shopping for all of my supplies.. three ring binders, pens, pencils, sharpies and of course my yearly Jansport backpack (it took me years to convince my mom to let me have a white one even though it got filthy.. didn't care, it … [Read more...]

always have my eye on a good moto jacket like this one I snagged from the #nsale! Just a few things I'm lusting after come Fall.. so I'm saving NOW! (You can click on any image within the collage to take you to the product or shop below!) Duster Cardigans are always on my list. Love a good black and white print. Always have. Always will! I've wanted an Anine Bing tee or sweatshirt … [Read more...]

this picture totally sums up our relationship! I can't believe I have an almost THREE year old! I know every mom says this, but it's blowing my mind how fast she is growing up. She already acts like a "threenager", so I guess it's about time her real age catches up ;) I'm not going to lie...2 was a tough age for me and people keep warning me 3 is even harder, but I'm hopeful! As a mom I … [Read more...]

If someone asks me what my favorite feature is, I would typically respond with, "My smile!" Why? For starters, I had two rounds of braces as a kid, retainers, and I have spent countless dollars on in-office whitening treatments and Crest White Strips. However, over the past few years I have slacked on my smile game. I have three kids so I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day and end the night with 2 or … [Read more...]

One of the first questions I get asked after, "How is the blog doing?" is usually, "Do you make any money?" At first it seemed like a rude question. I mean, I don't typically go around asking people how much money they make at their job because frankly, it's none of my business. But then I quickly realized that most people don't understand how blogs work or how influencers make a living out of … [Read more...]

I turned 33 yesterday so I thought it would be fun to share 33 random facts about me that you might not already know! I was born and raised in Southern California (Irvine to be exact) with two brothers.. I am the middle child. Probably why I'm weird..I never moved as a child and my parents still live in the house I grew up in. I am left-handed but do all sports "righty." I kick, throw, … [Read more...]

First things first.. I have a public service announcement. Nordstrom touted that you could shop online and select in-store pickup without hassle + you'd get a $10 Nordstrom note but I think this plan backfired on them a bit. My girlfriend selected this option, went to the store because her app said her items were ready only to be told that they weren't and that some of her order might not be … [Read more...]

Long story short, I lost my Nordstrom credit card when I was shopping in-store yesterday and had to get a new one reissued to me. This means I don't have online access to the full sale yet until I have that card in hand. So sad for me. However, I can still share some hot ticket items with you and all cardholders will be able to shop my picks starting tomorrow. I will update this post as I get … [Read more...]

Warning: PICTURE OVERLOAD! THIS girl got early access to the sale this morning thanks to a VERY good girlfriend who is Icon status (BOSS LADY!!!!).. I couldn't buy anything today (because guess who ISN'T that status ha) and I didn't have time to try anything on because I had the baby with me but I took pictures of EVERYTHING that caught my eye. Tomorrow, I will take pictures from the dressing … [Read more...]
