February: Life Lately

the first forty days bookI say this every year but February truly FLEW BY!!! I mean, here we are in March and I can officially say I’m due NEXT MONTH?! What? How did that happen? Here’s a little about what I’ve been up to this month:

Listening to: Oprah SuperSoul Conversations podcast & Justin Timberlake’s new album, both on Spotify (I’m a HUGE fan of Spotify)! I love to listen to Oprah’s podcast on my way to work in the morning! SUCH inspiration. And reminders that we are in charge of our attitude in this life.

Reading: The First Forty Days… here and there. Third trimester exhaustion has been setting in after work and reading puts me straight to sleep. 🙂 This book is so insightful though and is a must for any new mom to read!

Shopping for: Spring shoes like these ones and these ones! Also, definitely have baby clothes on the brain as well as Ava’s spring wardrobe. Zara has been a total score lately for her!

Watching: Mad Men on Netflix! Late to the game, we know but Nic and I aren’t huge TV fans except for that we like to have a show to watch after Ava goes to sleep! We are at the end of Season 2!

Wearing: Basically anything that fits at this point (I’m 33 weeks now)! Living in leggings, flats, tunics, and oversized sweaters.

Loving: My current skincare routine which has been helping my pale/dry/hormonal skin tremendously this winter! I’ve been religiously using the bareMinerals Ageless Genius line and have recently tried the new Elemis Superfood line and love particularly how it smells! I’m also currently using the best Aveda Shampure shampoo/conditioner. Makeup-wise, my new Too Faced Born This Way foundation is giving me the extra coverage I need right now.

Working on: Potty training sweet Ava! It’s going well so far! She was definitely more than ready! Also, starting to hang some things on the wall in the baby’s room!

ootd^^ Before heading out to Cassie’s baby shower! Love these new mules from Target! They also come in black. My bag is vintage but this one is very similar!

short north columbus^^ Shopping in the Short North after brunch, feeling pretty large! 🙂

pistacia vera macarons^^ Rainbow colored macarons from Pistacia Vera! Y’all know I love this place!

wiw^^ Before going shopping with my mom for the baby! Wearing: These flats, this bag, and this sweater.

volunteers of america thrift store^^ I picked up the cutest things from Volunteers of America Thrift Store – a few skirts and sweaters that I can’t wait to wear when I’m not pregnant! My total bill was $14.99 for 2 sweaters, a purse, and 3 skirts! Some J. Crew & GAP!

marcellas^^ Lunch with my mom at Marcella’s… sooo delicious!

hello fresh^^ I partnered with Hello Fresh this month! Use GIRLABOUT30 at checkout to get $30 off your first box HERE.

the pearl brunch^^ Such a nice brunch at The Pearl with Nic. You can read all about our experience HERE.

sky organics bath box^^ These bath bombs from Sky Organics quickly became our favorite things to entice Ava into the bath!!! She loved picking out which color she wanted to use and throwing it in the bath! Plus, we loved how it made our entire bathroom smell like a spa for hours!!!

Swipe for the before + after of my organized bathr Swipe for the before + after of my organized bathroom built-in! #Ad
🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization
Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simp Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simple. // I’ve been absent on social this week, actually really since the change of the New Year.  This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
2 0 2 1 ✨🤍🥳 Anyone else’s kids up at the 2 0 2 1 ✨🤍🥳 Anyone else’s kids up at the same time they always are although they stayed up late last night?! 🙈 Our 2 from our “2021” balloons popped soooo we just put up 21 ☺️ We danced forever, played games, had a 9pm ball drop & wrapped up 2020 the only way we knew how... with each other. 🤍 #nye #bye2020 #hello2021
Cue the confetti ✨🤍 2021, we’re SO ready! 🎊 #newyearseve #nye #2021
New Year Wishes & Midnight Kisses ✨😘 // Chang New Year Wishes & Midnight Kisses ✨😘 // Changing out the décor a lil’ over here for the new couple of days- stashing away all of our Christmas decorations except our wreaths + anything white + wintry. ❄️ We also still have our tree up! Tinsel has replaced our ornaments! Are you guys all packed away for the holiday? After NYE I plan to organize, clean, + declutter! 🤍 #nye #2021 #goodbye2020
Although it’s been said many times, many ways, M Although it’s been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you. 🎄✨❤️
Fresh new holiday bedding! 🎄 #Ad Our bedroom ha Fresh new holiday bedding! 🎄 #Ad Our bedroom has honestly been last on the list since we moved over a year ago!  Since redoing this room, I've instantly felt more relaxed and more like it's ours. 🤍 We finally painted and refreshed our space and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! First, we painted the yellow walls white for a bright + clean look. Next, I layered in the comforter, candy cane sheets, pillows, faux greenery as well as the candle and decor from @meijerstores to add some cozy  + festive elements. ✨ Finally, I added twinkle lights for some more holiday flair! #Meijer #HappyHolidays #Bedroom
