Guess what?! It’s that time of year again– the annual Nordstrom Anniversary sale is HERE. Cue the confetti and get your online shopping bevvie of choice ready (mine’s an iced matcha, of course). I’m pumped to give you an inside look at my picks and things I personally have my eye on, in order to hopefully […]

Anyone else keep music playing in their homes at (almost) all times? While y’all know I *love* listening to podcasts when I get some time to myself (on my daily walk preferably), there is something so MAGIC about music. Especially in today’s day in age, with so much info and noise and stuff coming at […]

Mmm, summer reading. It’s the best kind of feeling! Is that just me getting older? Maybe…. but I’m HERE for it you guys. There is nothing better than the slow, warm days of summer,  making it so much easier to escape into a book, even in little moments. Double that on summer vacations or weekend […]

  I like to approach design for our home AND our outside spaces with a few intentions in mind: minimal-ish feeling (so it’s soothing on my eyes), yet cozy and comfortable feeling.  Oh, and also super functional, because, hi this stage of life with two little ones running around. My goal is always to create […]

Traveling is always worth it, in my book. Hands, down. (And yes, with kids too. Can it be funny? Mmm-hmm. Can it be a few more logistics to figure out and plan for? Double-yes. But to see the joy in their eyes as they take in new experiences and places is unlike anything else. It’s […]

Picture this: you’re curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and cup of your favorite tea. Or glass of (good quality) wine. Or in a glorious epsom salt bath after a long day. Or laying back in your bed, in those few minutes before you fall fast asleep. Or even better? Snuggled up […]

Sometimes, when I feel like I have nothing to wear, it’s actually because I have too much to wear. You know the feeling? As the seasons pass, our closets get cluttered with items we really don’t even reach for anymore. When I start to feel this way, I know it’s time for a refresh.  First […]

Finding fun, useful & one-of-a-kind gifts for my sweet fam is one of my FAVORITE parts of the holiday season! Even though I’m not a big shopper— when it comes to the holidays, I always aim to get my family & friends things that they’ll genuinely love and use for years. And that often requires […]

If you know me, you know I love a cozy at-home situation. Dim lights, a warm bevvie in my favorite mug, soft music playing and preferably a soup simmering away in the crock pot. And for a lot of years, that scenario included allll the scented candles lit all around the house— especially in the […]

With sales on sales kicking off and the holidays around the corner, there’s a lot of STUFF coming at us these days. Whew, ‘tis the season, right? While I don’t want to add to any consumer noise orrr overwhelm (ever), I always get questions in my inbox & DMs about: my favorite beauty supplies, wellness […]

Something about the changing of seasons always makes me want to give my closet a refresh… a full-blown dig-through, clean-out overhaul where I edit down the pieces I haven’t touched and know I probably won’t wear again. And then I take note: What pieces/staples am I missing? What is worn down and could use replacing? […]

Eeeek… It’s here, it’s here! My team and I have been hard at work behind the scenes all summer long working on something *just* for you… the new and improved Simply Real Health: The Shop!  (And through the weekend, you can use code LABORDAY at checkout to get 15% off any SRH products *not including […]
