What’s the Deal with Instagram?
Instagram’s algorithm is changing. We’ve all seen it. It’s just like every other social media site or app. It’s changing to keep people on their toes. Especially with the rise of influencers, social media apps are constantly changing the game. It’s frustrating. Pinterest has even changed its game. With Instagram changing, it might be pushing its users toward TikTok and other apps and platforms. Instagram Instagram is rewarding users that are constantly making reels and story-ing. They are rewarding people that are spending their lives on the app. If we’re being realistic, anyone who works a full-time job can only spend so much time on an app. It’s just not…

Lilly Pulitzer Spring Arrivals February 2022
Lilly Pulitzer Spring Arrivals are here! This means that spring is right around the corner and I am here for it! Lilly Pulitzer has been one of my favorite clothing brands for as long as I can remember. It’s not even just the bright prints, it’s how comfortable the clothes are and durable. Personally, I always know that warmer weather is coming when Lilly starts to drop their spring line! Love at First Glance Gabriel Lileeze Tunic Dress | $198 | I love this silhouette! It’s so pretty and flattering. Obviously, I also love the mix of pink and blue. Aila Skort | $78 | Lilly Pulitzer’s leggings can be…

January 2022 Book Chat + Book Review
I love reading, I really do. I’m always so excited to write this post every month. Writing these book reviews brings me so much joy because it means I get to share good books with you. As usual, I read most of my books for free on the Apple Books app; however, I also read on the Libby app. These books are so accessible, you don’t need to go to the library or order a physical copy unless you want to. God Bless this Mess by Hannah Brown | 3.5/5 stars. I will say this was a very quick read. It’s Hannah Brown’s own memoir about her life, including some…

Winter Workout Routine
Winter workouts are so hard to plan because of the ever-changing weather. I created a winter workout routine to not only help me with my fitness but also allow me to be consistent! I’ve done a few workout posts before and we all know I love at-home workouts. So, what does an at-home workout look like during the winter? Well, it’s not outside, that’s for sure! Winter in Virginia is literally the most unpredictable thing ever. Honestly, most seasons are! Here’s my winter workout routine: Peloton ride | I do a quick 20-30 minute spin ride. I do not have the actual Peloton bike, though. I ended up getting a…

Home Organization
Home organization. This is something I’ve struggled with other the years, especially since the house I live in right now doesn’t have any built-in storage minus closets. One thing that I don’t like is spending a ton of money to organize. It’s tough when so many organizational things are so expensive, so I tried to go to places that have easily accessible things or things that you could swap out for something else that is similar. I’ve also talked about home decor. Decor is great, I love decorating. Everyone loves a good vibe and feeling to their home. But, the decor can also be functional. I picked neutral colors when…

Reselling Tips
Reselling tips are in hot demand as people continue to clean out homes and are trying to find a way to get their items new homes. I’m one of them. I have so many clothes that I just don’t wear anymore. This is an excellent way to help out your financial situation and create some extra income. Reselling also gives you an opportunity to take fast fashion and make it more sustainable. There are also people who no longer buy products first hand, and will only buy from these “second hand’ sites. You will often find items for much less than original retail cost but still in fantastic condition. Reselling…

Mood Board Home Vibes
A Mood board and vision board I find are very synonymous with each other. I have been thinking about how I plan on decorating my future home, especially as I start buying things that are nicer or are things that I can use for a long time. I’m a sucker for Pottery Barn-like those are my home vibes for real. However, I also know it’s not realistic for me to plan on decorating my entire future home in Pottery Barn. One thing that I really want in my future home is storage…I currently live in an older colonial “farmhouse” for lack of a better way of describing it, and there…

Favorite Products
One of my favorite things is seeing what everyone’s favorite products are. There is obviously a reason that you love them. So, today, I thought I would share mine with you. Just a heads up, this post is not sponsored. These are products that I use all of the time and truly adore! Tula’s Purifying Cleanser | $28 | I love this stuff. It lasts for a long time and it makes your skin feel so soft. My face has never been as soft until I started using this stuff. An alternative would be this Neutrogena face wash. It’s less than $9 and found at Target, Walmart, CVS, etc. Rose…

Winter Outfits
Winter outfits are always a struggle for me. I find that I have a difficult time pairing different things together. It’s probably because my closet is full of Lilly Pulitzer. These temperatures below 30 do not exactly scream Lilly Pulitzer wearing weather. I will say I’m very grateful to have power back after this storm that went through on Monday. We got power back late on Thursday and then the internet and phone came back later. However, our phone and internet keep going in and out. I will say one thing I’m having a hard time finding this year is a nice winter dress. Everything seems to be midi length…
