4 Things I'm Loooving Right Now

5/23/2017

Just want to share some products with you that I'm really feeling right now! Note that none of the products/services in this post are sponsored or paid. Bringing you 100% recommendations that are part of my everyday routine :) Check em out and let me know what you think!

1. L'Oreal Extraordinary Clay

I have never "sworn" by a shampoo product in my life. Until now. I received this product via Influenster, naturally being fairly hesitant that L'Oreal would spend the money to test their products this way, but WOAH. My oily roots and dry ends were never happier. A full 2 days post-shower and I am hair-flipping my way around the office.
​
Get in your car, drive to the store, and put all four products in your cart, NOW. Trust.

2. Colourpop Brow Pencil

My brows have always been a tough thing to navigate: brush, tweeze, pencil, brush, bald, repeat. Colourpop has saved my life, and now yours. :)

My go-to color was originally Bangin' Brunette, but have since dyed my hair black. I didn't want to dye my brows too because, well, gross. But the Black N' Brown pencil is my perfect solution!

3. Erin Condren Notebooks and Life Planners

Picture
When it comes to organizing, I am SUCH a paper person. I make lists upon lists and schedules upon schedules. When I first heard of Erin Condren, I laughed at the thought of being that organized.

fast forward three years...

​I've had two Life Planners, and now use the 8.5x11 Notebook as my daily Bullet Journal. Life Planners are a whole other universe. Personalized with covers and stickers and layouts, to schedule your every move from Mimosa Mondays to that dreaded staff meeting. Erin Condren has got your back.

4. CorePower Yoga

Picture
Never in a million years did I think I'd fall in love with yoga (Okay in reality, I just never thought I'd have a serious interest in it). But here we are!
I've taken a few yoga classes in my lifetime, but was never really jazzed by it much. Until I took a Hot Power Fusion: Candlelight class at CorePower Yoga. I was instantly hooked. I mean deep, HOT, sweaty yoga in a room only lit by candles?! YES PUHLEASE.
​
Your first seven days are free, and I am so excited to see what the future of my Black Tag Membership is going to bring.
What are some of your current go-to's? Let me know so I can check them out! I'm always looking to add to my list! Trying out some of my favs? What did you think?

A Poem from a Half on this Mother's Day

5/14/2017

There is a special kind of joy a daughter feels when told she resembles her mother.
A burning combination of blessing and accomplishment.
As though that voice in the back of her head, now her own, stares back at her with new meaning: less directive, with more mutual respect than before. Maintaining that womb-like connection while allowing for failure and growth.
Transition is natural, as is maturation and distance.
However, of a rare few, do daughters transition from children to halves. In a sense that these young women both by unconscious choice and blessing, develop the ability to share a brain with their mothers. A superpower that, unbeknownst to them, deems them the true winners of parental lottery.

And this is where I argue...
                we are the luckiest of all.
Blissfully,
                 a half.

Why Solo Dates Are So Important

5/9/2017

1 Comment

 
Personal day, Solo Date, Me Time. Whatever you'd like to call it, it really is essential. I've never been one to treat myself to time alone. My self-care habits have mostly included massages, new clothes, an extra coffee, or new Coloupop Lippie Stix. But recently, on a day when I was feeling particularly absent-minded, I decided to really treat myself. I called into work, and headed to the movie theatre.

    Life is complicated, that's a given. I'm just here to talk through the rough patches, celebrate the successes of adulthood and figure out what the hell we're doing.
