Photography by Susie Brenner When we bought our home nearly two years ago, one of my favorite rooms in the house was a sun-drenched space overlooking the garden and accented with a cozy fireplace at one end; I immediately imagined our little family spending afternoons there. Its location in the house makes it perfect for the children’s playroom… And someday, when they no longer need to play within eyesight of Mommy, it will become my home office and sitting room. One day when I was walking through the house, imagining the little changes and decor we might do in each room, it came to me… I wan ..read more

As someone with super sensitive skin, allergies, and rosacea I have to be consistent with my skincare routine because the smallest change can completely throw off my progress and wreak havoc on my skin. For example, I was recently traveling and my skin even reacted to the hotel towels and sheets I used; I was thankful to get home and begin focusing on my skincare routine again.

And one way I’ve been able to improve my skin and control the irrita ..read more

It’s that time of year again, when we flock to our local Nordstrom (or laptops) to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I know there’s so much hype and panic-buying surrounding the sale, but it’s truly a great time to pick up some things you need to restock and even snag a few early holiday gifts. Below I’m curating my favorites; items I’ve actually bought before or am currently shopping this year. If you haven’t shopped the sale before, the reason so many of us are a bit addicted to it is because the sale offers new fall items and often exclusive colors + larger packaging at discounted prices ..read more
