Since I can remember, I’ve struggled with keeping things neat and tidy. I had the messiest desk at school and my childhood room was always in shambles. My poor mother. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve definitely tried harder to stay on top of things now that Casey (also not a neat freak) and I have a home of our own but there are only so many hours in a day. After a long day of work and my evening gym session, the last thing I want to do is come home and work on organizing things. Honestly, it’s a miracle if I’m able to get the grocery shopping done! Thank god for grocery delivery! I’ve wanted to work with an organizer for years. I felt like having guidance on purging and setting up a system to help our lives run more smoothly would only bring Casey and me more joy when we do have time together at home. Enter, Rachel & Company Organizers. She’s the top-rated organizing specialist in the area and when she reached out to collaborate, I was 100% in! It’s like she knew I needed help.. […]

When I realized that Who What Wear made a line for Target, I dropped everything and made a b-line for the store. I normally do most of my shopping online but when it comes to Target, I like to shop in person. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the quality of clothing online, so I like to go in a feel it out. It also gives me a chance to knock out my grocery shopping in one fell swoop. So I consider that a win-win situation. I’m happy to report that the Who What Wear line is just as good as it looks online. I’m glad I went in to test it out because it gave me an excuse to buy $100 worth of Target random things that I didn’t need. God, I hate that. But the Who What Wear trends, fabrics and prices are all on point. I scooped up this striped ruffle blouse plus a few other pieces from the collection that you can shop below. Happy shopping loves! Top (Who What Wear for Target), Skirt (Zara sold out – similar […]

Just ask my husband or any of my family members.  Sleep has always been important to me, obviously, we all need it to function properly but some people can get by with less. I’m not one of those people. As active as I am in the gym, it’s essential that I feed myself properly and give my body the time it needs to recharge. Before I found the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor, I always thought I was getting enough sleep if I gave myself 8 hours in bed but after doing a little research on their app, I found I was getting much less sleep than I had thought. Much of the night, I was tossing and turning or I would just have a hard time actually falling asleep. Now that I know what’s going on, I’m trying to be more cognizant of the amount of caffeine I take in and how I wind down in the evenings. Coming up with a wind-down routine has been essential for me. Most nights that’s watching a little tv with my husband and […]

Just the word alone can be totally intimidating. When you think of see-through clothing, your mind might quickly jump to riskay lingerie or some kind of costumy piece that you would never wear outside the bedroom. But this season’s hottest new trend was made to be seen and if you style it right, you can even retain some modesty. We’ve been loving the sheer trend but we also aren’t ones to bare all for the world to see. So we have found ways to style these see-through pieces in a way that our mother-in-laws would even approve of.  Wear a pretty bralette underneath and make sure that your sheer piece has enough detail to distract the eye from going straight to the goods. I will also throw a blazer over my sheer pieces when I need to be a bit more conservative and then when it’s time for cocktails, the jacket comes off and it’s party time! I love this high low, sheer, polka dot number from Zara because it looks great paired with leather leggings or dark denim. The cut and fit is girly while the sheer fabric gives it a flirty aspect. Perfect for […]
