After a slow start to my reading year, April has been a GREAT reading month for me and I’ve been flying through books which has been so fun (and good timing as I finalize this year’s Summer Reading Guide which is coming out in a few weeks!).  Here’s what I’m reading right now Styx and […]

As someone who takes hours to decide what nail color she’s getting at the salon, I live for a nail trend. A celeb inspo pic, viral Pinterest pin, or influencer-approved nail polish shade means one less decision for me to make. But instead of constantly chasing nail trends, I’m ready to get ahead of them.

Ever since my parents left on a church mission to France last year, we knew we wanted to go visit them while they were there. They live just outside of Paris, but since we’d spent a full week in Paris and hit most of the major sites just a few years ago, we weren’t interested […]

When someone asks me how old I am, I say, “old enough to remember wearing Sperry Top-Siders to school every day.” Back then, my loyalty to boat shoes felt like a phase. But apparently, it was just foreshadowing. After a slow return over the past couple of seasons, boat shoes have officially re-entered the chat […]

We just got home from our spring break trip and it feels SO GOOD to be home!  I’m hoping for a quiet weekend getting over my jet lag and finishing up some good books (and probably doing a puzzle or two!)  Here are some of my favorite book deals going on right now. The Unselected […]
