I got some fancy cheese this week at the grocery. I’m very off and on with dairy so it was a real treat to get cheese at all let alone anything particularly special. It was a little wedge of white Stilton cheese with mango and ginger pieces in it. I swear it tasted better than cake.

I always prep exactly what I’m going to wear and try it on a couple days beforehand (even if it’s something I’ve worn a million times) to make sure I look sharp. I also get ready super early the day of to make sure there is no risk of running late. Another thing I like to do is jot down reasons why I am interested in…

Best go-to question to ask when you can’t think of anything - “What are you looking for in a [insert whatever job here]?”

I might be a bad influence but I would encourage you to stick with it! It can be such a challenge to find the perfect skincare products and if you have something that has been working for so long why change it? Budgets are important but I’d rather skimp in other areas than skincare because it really pays off in the…

I use 100% pure shea butter. Expensive, but worth it, and a little goes a long way. Also what kind of soap/cleaner are you using? I’m a bit of a compulsive hand-washer so I only use SLS-free stuff, and most of time I make my own house cleaning supplies out of vinegar cut with water mixed with essential oils.

This, a thousand times over. I had a magnesium deficiency, which is hard to test for as it doesn’t show up in bloodwork. I’m very routine with my vitamins so it was a shock at first but adding in an extra supplement made me feel like an entirely different person.

It happens. It doesn’t have to necessarily mean depression although it could be mild burnout. Sometimes your mind and body just need a break and that’s okay. Be kind to yourself. Let go of the need to be “doing” all the time. It’s important to take downtime away from work that isn’t sleep but sometimes that can mean…

Definitely roll your clothes! You don’t even have to roll them all that tight to fit way more than you would by folding. I just think of each item like a little cloth burrito and wedge ‘em all into the luggage. Works wonders!

No judgement here; I too have jumped off a horse. I mean it’s not like it’s all that different than falling off a horse. Just on purpose.

Brinner is the best! All meals should be breakfast!

I took the quiz and got dapple grey stallion which was unexpected but pleasantly surprising.

You should do it! I’ve seen people carry pillow pets on planes so it wouldn’t even be unusual.

That’s what gets me. That you can be punished just for thinking about it. Thoughts are just thoughts. We all have lots of thoughts that do not equate to intentions. How many times in comedy movies or shows do we see someone do something crazy, but then the camera reverts back to the beginning of the scene and we…

I did this to my husband and he was honestly touched at the protective gesture. I didn’t have the heart to tell him the truth.

Nahhhhh top sheets are the worst! Perhaps unsurprisingly, I don’t have decorative towels either. I don’t even have matching non-decorative towels.

Omg Magic Treehouse! I forgot about those books.

Np! I use Andalou 1000 Roses Heavenly Night Cream. It’s super gentle and lightweight. From time to time if I need something heavier, I’ll also add Evan Healy Rosehip Treatment Facial Serum - Blue. Prior to these, I used Philosophy Hope in a Jar for years.

I chuck ‘em after 6 months. Minis usually after 3 months. Some people recommend throwing out the regular ones after 3 months too but that is overkill and an excuse to spend more money on mascara than I need to. Look for the little icon that’s shaped like a cylinder and has a number with the letter “M” after it -…

Sunscreen is good! I get my SPF from Andalou Oil Control Beauty Balm and also use it in place of primer. I use the Clean & Clear blotting sheets (typically 1 or 2 sheets per day) but I have a friend who swears regular ol’ tissue paper is the exact same thing and much cheaper. For powder, I’ve been using Honeybee…

I love Uggs, no matter what anyone says. They are the flip-flops of winter.
