It’s been ages since I gave myself a pretty nail art manicure or even just painted my nails. In fact, I think the last one was in fall, way back in September, the exact opposite of spring, and it was a twist on a french manicure in brown tones. With all the extra vitamins I’ve …
Last summer while we were waiting for a table at Antlers in Twin Peaks, Chad and I wandered into the little Mountain High Market (the one they used in the film “Blue Jay“) and at checkout, Chad added a few bars of soap from local maker, Song of a Sparrow, that were sitting on the …
I must admit that I’m pretty lazy when it comes to my skincare routine. When my expensive brands run out, I often just head to the drugstore because I’m never ultimately sold on anything… and also, like I said, I’m a tad bit lazy and think to myself eh, it’s good enough. However, THIS TIME …
In an effort to get into a cozy fall mood, I searched for a little fall fashion inspiration and fell a little in love with the brown and white color palette Instagrammer Mary Lawless Lee wears so effortlessly. I decided to give it a try on my nails first and must say that it is …
This was such a lovely excuse to shoot in my new and improved office bathroom that I had to share! As a disclaimer, I was sent this product for free and sponsored for an Instagram video but I always like to give a brand/client more than I’m asked when doing collabs AND I figure why …
A few weeks ago I did a fun pastel nail art manicure on my nails and just loved the little pops of pastel color I’d see while my hands were busy doing their thing… it just made me smile. It had been so long since I’d painted my nails that having ANY color on my …
Spring has SPRUNG on my fingers! My pretty floral ear jackets from aurate finally arrived and I love them (see photos below)… and then they inspired this little nail art manicure, kind of. My nails have been growing like crazy during quarantine and I think it has to do with all the extra vitamins I’m …
I’m a strict believer that beauty and wellness care must start from within. This belief is handed down from my mother, who was considered a “health nut” by the standards of her time (70s/early 80s) when it wasn’t so widely accepted or understood even. When once on a trip with the family when I was …
My nails have grown SO LONG during this quarantine and it’s kind of amazing! I mean, okay, they’re not THAT LONG comparatively speaking, but for MY little nails, this is something! Usually by the time they get this long they start breaking but I’ve been lucky so far, so I decided now was as good …
I know I just did a DIY Braided Hair Headband, but this seemed like an obvious second choice that may work similarly… and since I’m in a DIY mood lately, I whipped it up in a few minutes because yes, it’s that easy… and you can too! Although I only show it worn wrapped around …
Okay… I’m sure this removable braided headband has been done a million times, or maybe not. I didn’t really investigate because I didn’t care, I just wanted to make one for myself because I’m seeing them pop up everywhere right now and it’s a much simpler option than creating this look with your actual hair! …
I saw this short film on Instagram the other day and watched it at least 5 times before sharing it on my stories as well… you’ve probably seen it by now because within a few days it’s gone viral… and well it should because it’s so absolutely on point you just want to see it …
Lovecats, this giveaway is LONG overdue! In fact, I was planning on posting it last OCTOBER! I know… I know. BUT, better late than never, right? RIGHT! I was inspired by the book release of Beginner’s Pluck by founder of Sseko designs, Liz Bohannon, who asked if I wanted a copy of the book to …
I was introduced to The Colorful Wild through longtime blogging friend, Holly (@hollyconda on Instagram), who shared a photo of her two adorable kids with “girlprenuer” Avery, who started her very own organic lip balm brand and is totally crushing it. Since I was immediately motivated by this little entrepreneur, I thought you might be …
Lovecats! It’s Giveaway Time! My intention was to have this giveaway launched at the beginning of the month so that it ended on St. Patrick’s Day BUT I’ve been having blog/server troubles since the end of February, so I had no choice but to wait. But now I’m back up and running and hoping for …
