I love dressing up my son in nice clothes. I know it's a harder bullet to bite when they grow so quickly. But he just looks so cute and I can't resist sharing my own love of fashion with him. As I shift so much of my approach to my own wardrobe to buying better and buying less, it's a bit trickier applying the same philosophy to children's clothes when they are constantly growing and getting their clothes dirty. However, I can't shy away from investing in quality even when it comes to my boy's wardrobe, so I've employed a couple standards to purchasing quality pieces for him. First ..read more

I've been transforming my wardrobe over the last year - minimizing quantity and bettering the quality. I've sold a lot of old clothes to Crossroads LA and reinvested my earnings into higher quality pieces with timeless sensibility. A distinct shift in my approach to shopping designer recently is that I am diverting my spending to more luxury, well-designed clothing essentials that make me look polished and feel confident. For so long, we've been conditioned to spend a ton of money on designer handbags as our luxury item and I totally get that the ROI is there with an item that one would u ..read more

This post has been sponsored by Renew Life, all opinions are my own. As a mom, my highest priority behind taking care of my family is taking care of myself. Self care is essential, because little things like drinking enough water, eating meals on time, and feeling beautiful help make sure I am the best person I can be for those who depend on me. Part of this ritual is making sure I take my Renew Life Women’s Care Probiotics every day and I’ll talk about why probiotics are such an important step in my wellness routine. In the mornings while my husband can watch our toddler, I set ..read more

As parents, our roles are inherently full of stress and disarray, but to parent through a pandemic surmounts to an unprecedented level of pressure that we all collectively feel. For some families who live in urban spaces with limited access to the safe outdoor play, it’s especially harder with cooped up children. This post is in partnership with Airbnb. All opinions are of my own. The idea of travel and vacations have completely changed and a lot of us are looking closer to home to safely get away and find joy in a simple change of scenery. A staycation is a wonderful solution fo ..read more

Reactivate it to view this content.     I perused the sales from my favorite online retailers like Farfetch, SSENSE, and Net-A-Porter to scope some designer pieces that I might add to my wardrobe. Sales can be so glitzy, thrilling, and urgent, but I've learned over so many years past that spontaneous shopping doesn't reap the most rewards. I took out my Notes app and wrote a checklist of items I've been wanting for the past few months, like basic tees but elevated, flats from St. Agni, and a showstopping dress for the day we c ..read more

      I’ll never forget my mother’s sapphire and diamond ring that she bought for herself when I was little. I think it was supposed to be an upgrade from her wedding ring or maybe it was a gift to herself just because (as any hardworking woman and mother should do). I vividly remember how striking the deep blue sapphires were, surrounding the brilliant diamond right in the center. I’m sure she bought it just around the time the movie Titanic came out, so all I thought about was my mom wearing the heart of the sea right on her hand. My mother was so in love with the rin ..read more

This post is sponsored by Rooted Rituals. When we think about skincare, we instantly think about our face and everything we need for our conscientious routine. But we shouldn't forget about the skin that's all over the rest of our body, including our scalp. It was only recently I had the epiphany that my skin all over deserves the same effort and love I put towards my facial skin. Why shouldn't we be exfoliating, hydrating, and treating our body and scalp the same way we do for our face? I actually suffer from mild scalp psoriasis and I think that postpartum hormones and seasonal ..read more

The sunscreen category is innovating quickly, much to my relief. Gone are the days of inferior, thick, pore-clogging goops in tubes. I’m here for the bloom of beautiful, thoughtfully-formulated sunscreens that pair sun protection and skincare with clean, non-toxic ingredients. There are two types of sunscreens: physical and chemical. Physical sunscreen uses naturally-occurring minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that sit on top of your skin and act as a physical shield to deflect the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. Chemical sunscreens use active chemical filters like avobe ..read more

I’m proud to share with you about our partnership with Crate and Kids to welcome a new stage of life into our home! These last two years have gone by in a blink of an eye. If I knew how quickly today would come, I would tell my younger self as a new mom to take time with everything - keep my baby in my arms a little longer, stare at him a little closer, and hold his little hands more. I know how hard it can feel in the moment with the exhaustion and postpartum, but wow I can say it's a harder, bittersweet emotion now knowing that that chapter is gone and closed. But now, Jacob, Kyle, and ..read more
