3 Cozy Christmas Gift Ideas For Her From Amazon | Holiday Gift Guide For Her

October 18, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s too early for some, but with the way shipping is looking for the 2021 holiday season, it’s really time to start thinking about holiday shopping and holiday gifting. Today I want to share 3 cozy holiday gift ideas that you can snag easily on Amazon.

Amazon Gift Ideas For Her

Fuzzy Slide Slippers

These are SO adorable! [I want them in blush] And the price is right!

Sherpa Throw Blanket

We own two of these and they are the first to be grabbed when we have family movie nights.

Fleece Hooded Bathrobe

I LOVE my bathrobes. I put it on every morning and wear it until I get dressed, and one of my favorite parts of the day is when I take off my makeup, toss my hair up in a claw clip, and put on my robe [This may or may not happen around 5p.m when we don’t have activities or plans, judge away]

Shop

*NOTE: Yes, I love the color blush pink, it’s a neutral for me, but all of the above options are available in several wonderful colorways.

Happy Trails Project | Anti-Hunger Organization

October 11, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Do you remember those [possibly illegal] chain letters? Do you love the excitement when you get some happy mail? A friend of mine sent me a Happy Trails Project bracelet and today I had to share it with you.

Happy Trails Project

What is the Happy Trails Project?

Happy Trails Project is a project that hopes to spread positivity and create a positive impact. Happy Trails Project donates 10% of all proceeds to Feed The Children, an anti-hunger organization.

How does the Happy Trails Project work?

You can continue a trail (if someone sends to you) or start a new trail. Or, both!

I love that you can also track your trail.

You get an adorable, bright yellow bracelet with a small smiley face and a sticker (which looks so cute on a water bottle!) along with a postcard so you can track your trail.

HOW-TO STYLE A CROPPED SWEATER | JUST FAB

September 27, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I remember in high school when cropped sweaters were popular but we wore them with cami tank tops under them. Now, crop tops have been popular for the past couple of years, and this fall I’ve been seeing cropped sweaters cropping [get it?] up everywhere. I snagged a super cute cropped cardigan from JustFa b and wanted to share how I style it.

I have been a member of JustFab for years and to tell you the truth? It’s sometimes a love/hate. The shoes are SO cute, my favorites are the boots, and I typically have great luck with fit and comfort. I set up reminders on my phone, and *almost* always remember to skip the month, so I end up purchasing only about 4 times each year. I do get frustrated when I have a credit for months I forget to skip and get charged (valued at $39) and can’t use it towards more expensive items or use it for a less expensive item. I have noticed lately that the shoes I like are either $10 more or less than that value. I won’t sugarcoat it, that is annoying. HOWEVER, because of this, I have found several sweaters over the last year that I love.

This cropped sweater has precious pearl buttons. I think this sweater would be cute alone, but I prefer to wear it with a light nude-colored cami tank top that I tuck into high-waisted jeans so you can’t see it.

Nadine West | Clothing Subscription Unboxing

July 12, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable-style subscription service.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for three years now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work?

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Coupon Code

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

Nadine West Unboxing

I like, but don’t love, these tops. I tend not to like tops that have a faux knot, I think they look cheap, but this one actually looks pretty legit. I may pass both of these on, though.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

Did this title make you cringe? Make you click SOFAST because it made you angry or curious to see why on earth I’d ever suggest that a mom shouldn’t feel comfortable rocking a mini dress [or skirt]? Good. You’re here. First of all: Wear whatever the heck you like that makes YOU feel good. Period. That said if you’re like me and you love mini dresses but you also love to be able to bend over comfortably or hold your kid’s hands in a parking lot on a windy day without flashing everyone, this post is for you.

I RAN A MARATHON | ALL THE GEAR I USED

June 21, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there, Happy Monday!

I DID IT! I ran 26.2 miles and finished a marathon. I couldn’t have done it without the grace and support of my husband, first and foremost, who never complained when I would spend HOURS training. My kids, who are sweet and encouraging and always wrote me little “You can do it” notes. To my family and best friends who showed up for me and supported me and cheered for me virtually and in-person. It made a difference. My longest run in training was 19 miles, and I added 7.2 miles to that largely thanks to my crowd support. And the medal, let’s be real.

SEE MY PICS HERE

Today I will be sharing EVERYTHING I used during the marathon. It isn’t a beauty or fashion post, per se, but I did rock mascara and brow gel without issue if anyone is wanting to know ; )

MARATHON GEAR I ACTUALLY USED

Under Armor Visor

BondiBand Running Headband

Senita Hustle Sports Bra

Senita Baseline Running Shorts

Nike Women’s Miler Breathe Tank Top

Nathan Running Belt

CEP Short Compression Socks

Under Armor Running Underwear

Ascis Gel Kayano Lite Shoes

Goodr A Ginger’s Soul Sunglasses

The Best Amazon Pajamas | Blush Pink Satin Pajama Set

March 15, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I celebrated my birthday on Friday, and I spent most of the day in my mind in pajamas. It. Was. Glorious. And I had several folks message me on my Instagram asking where the pajamas I was wearing were from.

These pajamas look like a pair from Victoria’s Secret or Slip Into Soft, but instead of a $75 or $150 price tag, the pair from Serenedelicacy sold on Amazon retails for about $25, but I’ve seen them as low as $22.

I love these pajamas so much that I’ve purchased a short sleeve and shorts version, also. They come in other great prints and colors as well, including an adorable blush pink leopard, and the ever classic navy with white piping. I launder my pajamas in the washing machine in a garment bag, and I hang them to dry.

What I Got For Christmas | 2020

December 28, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I love watching and reading “What I Got For Christmas” vlogs and blogs, and I hope that you enjoy this post. If this post will trigger you, please click out now. This is, of course, not to brag. I’ve had Christmases with chocolate and socks, and lavish Christmases. I see you, I respect you, and I ask that you respect that I share this to give ideas for things you may gift or wish for in the future. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

What I Got For Christmas 2020

It’s no secret that I am an avid runner, and I got several running related items.

Asics Gel Kayano Lite

I overpronate and I am so pumped to try the brand-new Asics Gel Kayano Lite. I love the Asics GT 2000, and this is a lighter weight option that still overs stability support for overpronators.

AfterShokz Running Headphones

These headphones deliver music through your cheekbones, ensuring your ears remain completely open to ambient sounds for safer situational awareness.

Quarter Zip Pullover Running Shirt

I gravitate to black colors for my running gear, but want brighter colors for safety and so that during races (come on 2021! Safe races, please!) family and friends can spot me.

Oiselle Flyout Long Sleeve Apple Watch Window Running Shirt

I am so excited because this shirt has a window for my watch. The company, Oiselle, is highly regarded in the running community.

Apple Air Pod Pros

I am on video and audio calls for work every day, and I also watch a lot of YouTube on my phone. I have never had nice earbuds, and I am so excited. These Apple Air Pod Pros from my husband were a huge surprise! WANT SOME? Definitely snag ’em on Prime Day!

I didn’t get any makeup or skincare items, but I did get a few beauty related items that I am excited to share.

Gel Nail Kit [most highly reviewed on Amazon!]

I don’t prioritize on allocating part of our budget for my nails, but in my line of work and being someone who talks with my hands, I want to be better about keeping my nails nice. I hope this Amazon Gel Nail Kit helps!

A New Day Beaded Hair Clips

These are so pretty and perfect for clipping my little baby hairs up when I wear my hair in a ponytail or messy bun.

We also got a couple of gifts as a couple.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp Pressure Cooker

I can’t wait to use this! Do you have one? If so, please share favorite recipes with me on social!

Wireless Video Doorbell

We do a lot of shipping with our business The Mitten Print Shop and this is an item that we feel that we need to keep our business and family safe. This video doorbell is well-rated and affordable.

December 21, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Morning!

2020 is different, but we are continuing with as many of our normal traditions as possible, in different and safe ways. This past weekend was our gingerbread house decorating party, but this year it was just our family and our co-host family (as opposed to our dear friend’s house being packed with 20 kids!). We always wear Christmas sweaters, and this year we kept up with that as well. Today I will be sharing my “ugly” cute sweater dress, holiday earrings, and makeup. I will also link my kid’s looks, and my hubster’s in the shop section at the bottom of this post.

The Look

Target Snowman Dress

Target has some of the best Christmas sweaters and sweater dresses! I found this women’s Target Snowman Dress and a matching girl’s Snowman Dress for Hailey.

Walmart Holiday Time Bulb Earrings

In-Store purchase only! Only $5

Too Faced Melted Matte Lipstick in Candy Cane

LAUREN BUSHNELL STYLE | JUST FAB CLOTHING REVIEW

November 23, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Nope, this isn’t an accidental re-post! I am sharing another incredible clothing item I found from JustFa b.

I have been a member of JustFab for years and to tell you the truth? It’s sometimes a love/hate. The shoes are SO cute, my favorites are the boots, and I typically have great luck with fit and comfort. I set up reminders on my phone, and *almost* always remember to skip the month, so I end up purchasing only about 4 times each year. I do get frustrated when I have a credit from months I forget to skip and get charged (valued at $39) and can’t use it towards more expensive items or use it for a less expensive item. I have noticed lately that the shoes I like are either $10 more or less than that value. I won’t sugarcoat it, that is annoying. HOWEVER, because of this, I have found several sweaters over the last year that I love, and today I want to share my current favorite with you.

Mock Neck Tunic Sweater

Why I Love It

This sweater from the Lauren Bushnell’s collection from Just Fab. I love a chunky knit like this because it is as comfy as a sweatshirt but you instantly look pulled together and chic. This sweater is soft, not at all itchy, and I’ve received compliments on it each time I wear it.
