it’s friday, and again, this week has felt so short yet so long. i thought today i’d keep a little more casual (i mean, i’m always casual, but ya know) and just share a little bit about what’s been going on in our lives as well as some things that have been on my radar lately.
we had both kids out of daycare for most of last week, and luckily they’ve been back this week. they both thrive around other kiddos, and we absolutely love our daycare provider, so i’m super happy to have them back. i shared a post earlier this week about work/life integration (not balance!), and it’s funny because i sometimes feel guilty that i DON’T feel guilty about working. logan and i both have this routine we go through every morning where we tell each other “work hard, be nice!” before i head to work and she goes to daycare. i tell her about how mommy really loves her job and it’s something she enjoys doing, and also it pays money “so we can buy things at target” (lol). someday we will get a little deeper on that one, but for now it’s just ok for her to see that i’m happy with my day-to-day and that doesn’t make me love her any less. anyways, all that to say, i’m infinitely grateful i can send my kids to a place they enjoy and i can be sure they are well cared for every day.
in other news, i have a really fun “project” (i’m not sure what else to call it) that i’ve been working on. it will be live soon, but in the meantime, be sure to leave your email since everyone on my email list is going to get exclusive access before it is public! i’m about as excited about this as i was to launch this blog (!!!)
i don’t want to share too much (yet), but it’s going to be cheeky, fun, and sentimental all at the same time. i’m all about personalization and having your own, unique style while being trendy and classic at the same time, and i think this new endeavor does just that. (again, !!!!!) more to come, soon!
ok, now. on to some of my favorites on this friday:
i just re-ordered this eyebrow gel along with this one. i’ve used the glossier one before and love it, but wanted to give the beautycounter one a shot. i feel like the true mark of adulthood is caring for (and not over-plucking) my eyebrows.
my mom has one of those little self-infrared saunas, and i’m SO excited to try it out this weekend. i normally hate sweating, but i feel like my body just needs a really good sweat sesh. also, the thought of sitting still for an extended period of time and not having my phone or anything to do is a little disconcerting for me, i know i need to treat it like a meditation session. isn’t that crazy and sad all at the same time?! i am afraid of sitting still with no distractions (i’m really afraid of not “being productive”). anyways, i’m super excited to try it out!
i ordered daily harvest smoothies (finally!) and am SO happy i did! they’re handy as heck and super good. at first i was kind of like “ehh, this is not going to be enough food for me,” but after adding protein powder and some extra nut butter for healthy fat, they’re perfect. my current favorite flavor? the chai! so good. use the code RE-6EAR2TT for $25 off of your first box (and let me know what your favorite flavors are).
