I LOVE skincare. I could go on and on and ON about it. I love it so much! In today’s post, I am sharing the best (and my favorite) skincare products with clean ingredients. These are items I use daily and religiously. I am dividing them up by morning and night routine. The night routine is, of course, much more important! I hope you enjoy a peek into my medicine cabinet. Related: Emma’s Skincare Routine When recently asked to describe my skin type, my reply was “old.” Haha. I was joking, of course! I know that I’m still young(ISH). But being 40 years old means taking great care of my skin mo ..read more

A couple months ago, I shared a video on Instagram showing how I style this super quick and easy top knot. I think I called it a five-minute messy bun, as that would be another name for it. But, this is truly the easiest way I know how to throw my medium/long (thin! postpartum regrowth) hair into a cute top knot style.

This time of year, I love to live in pajamas and loungewear. My favorite thing to do is spread out all our holiday activities like wrapping gifts, decorating, and making cookies into mini sessions so there’s a little magic in every day. This post is partnered with Walmart. They are a great source for pajamas, slippers and so much more! Trimming the Tree I love collecting ornaments and holiday decor. Every year, I add a little more to our home. There’s nothing better than a cozy day at home decorating (while wearing slippers, of course).

As we move into the holiday season, I wanted to share three looks I am loving lately based on (pretty common) outfit situations that come up for me. I also decided to give each of these looks a little holiday- themed name. Lol. In this post I am working with Walmart, which is a great resource for winter fashion finds. While I did put together these outfits for myself, I also think Walmart has so many great options for gifting this year! I’d love to hear in the comments which of these is your favorite look. Home Alone- This outfit is very much about hanging out at home and getting cozy. Now tha ..read more

Growing up, we always called the Dutch braid an inside-out French braid. I didn’t know there was another name for it, so when someone asked me if I knew how to Dutch braid, my answer was a pretty quick “I don’t think so.” Once I did a little research, I found out that they are one and the same. If you know how to French braid, this Dutch braid tutorial is easy peasy. Basically, you are just reversing the direction of the braid. If you aren’t quite as experienced in the French braid department, that’s OK! I’ve broken down the Dutch braid steps for you, so you’ll be braiding (like a pro) in no ..read more

On our podcast, I’ve mentioned The Curated Closet by Anuschka Rees a number of times. It’s a fantastic book, and there is also a workbook available. I first worked through Anuschka’s methodology in late 2019, and I can honestly say it completely changed my style and the way I shop and think about clothes. I loved it! I’m still benefiting from many things I learned from this book years later. Since I am such a fan girl, I thought I would share three things I learned from The Curated Closet. If you have been struggling with your personal style or are in a season of life where you need to change ..read more
