Since Eleanor started walking, I have found myself buying more and more on Amazon and going to the store less and less. There have been a lot of hits and a lot of misses. Today I'm sharing the best things I bought on Amazon this year. No surprise, a lot of it is house stuff.... Like the shower curtain hooks I bought on a whim and LOVE. They make taking off your inner curtain so much easier (we wash ours frequently). And the headbands I bought - I've been living in them! The clear bags are …

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers + Gifts Under $25
I don't know why, but I always stress over the "smaller" gifts - like when you have to get a gift under $25 for an office party swap. I usually do gift cards for my mailman and the UPS man (bless him, he comes here so often), but gift cards just feel so impersonal in some cases. As for stocking stuffers, I feel like stockings should be stuffed and overflowing, but I also don't want to spend a ton of money on silly stuff. Everything here is under $25 and appropriate as a stocking stuffer OR …

Sephora VIB Sale: What’s In My Cart
There are two major sales that I get really excited about: Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale and the Sephora Sale (which used to only be a VIB Sale but is now open to everyone!). Here's what I'm purchasing this time around from the Sephora VIB Sale. I'm (unfortunately) not at the VIB Rouge level - though if I was, that would probably mean I had way too much makeup! I'm at the mid-tier, which has access to the sale until Monday the 11th! During this sale, I always replace certain items that I …
Hair Accessories for Spring and Summer
Last summer I bought matching headbands for me and E, and I LOVED how well mine kept my hair out of my face. My hair is naturally curly (and frizzy in humidity). It's not the easiest type of hair to have in the summer, especially at the beach. (That's why you'll mostly see my hair up in a bun when I'm in a humid climate - there's just not much I can do with it!) Photo from this Orlando hotel post I've found some really cute hair things lately, and I'm just trying to decide what to buy and …
The True Cost: Fast Fashion Documentary
I watched this documentary a while ago, but I had to rewatch it over the weekend. There are so many people posting about clothing that you can find on Amazon for $25, $15, $10...And while I love a great deal as much as the next girl, it's something we have to talk about. When you stop and think about it, you can't buy just the fabric for that price, never mind the labor of actually making a shirt or a skirt or whatever you're buying. I am not at all suggesting that all moms should go out and …
