This post is sponsored by Byte. All opinions are my own. I’m getting invisible aligners. When I told some people, they looked at me really strangely. “You have perfect teeth,” one friend told me. Yes, I did have braces when I was a teenager, and yes, my teeth are decent, but they are far from…
I never really thought much about astrology until I got this vintage Pierre Cardin necklace (from here). When I first saw it, I knew I had to have it. I’m a sucker for gold necklaces, as it is, but this one felt extra special with the floating diamond that you can place on your actual…
I’ve thought about posting this picture for about two months, but I’ve been afraid. I’m not perfect, it’s not perfect, my body isn’t perfect. Being an ‘influencer’ and in the public eye, so to speak, I often think long (and way too hard) about what I’m going to post. I sensor myself to the point…
When I was a kid, my parents took thank you notes very seriously. Every birthday, Christmas, graduation – the very same day I received the gift, I wrote a thank you note. I know that might seem pretty intense, and it was, but I’m so glad they instilled the value of hand written thank you…
Do you clean your house every week? I spot-clean when I notice things aren’t as clean as I’d like, but I definitely don’t do a thorough clean as often as I’d like. Now that spring has finally arrived in Boston, spring cleaning is on my mind. But here’s the thing, there are a lot of…
Thank you Council for Responsible Nutrition for sponsoring this post. This is #MyWeekSupplemented. A few years ago, I was at the Dr. and I complained of being overly tired.

Us grown-ups have our own hassles, but for kids, the process of moving across the country, leaving everything they’ve known, being thrown into a situation…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. There are so many different things you need to plan and think about when you’re planning a move. Our cross-country move to Boston could have been very overwhelming, but I found so many great resources online to help me organize for the move….
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. What’s better; should you hire a moving company or drive a rental truck yourself? There are so many decisions to make when you have to move your life across town or across the country. We should know – we’ve moved roughly 9 times…
As a busy mom, I’m always looking for little craft projects we can do on the weekends to keep my kids entertained. Recently, we made these simple lion crafts out of paper plates. Not only did my kids have a blast, but it kept them entertained and busy for close to 30 minutes. To make…
Boss babes, I get it. You’ve been blogging for a year or two years and you finally received an email from a company asking you to promote their product on your blog and social media. They are going to send you this cool item FOR FREE and all you have to do is post on…

If that term is confusing, my favorite definition is ‘to live on the earth like we intend to stay’. Basically, sustainability is about finding ways…
Thank you, Jenny Craig for sponsoring this post. — Get serious about losing weight with Jenny Craig! I don’t talk about it very much, but for those of you who knew me in high school and college, you knew me as a much larger person. In my mid-20s I managed to lose over 60 pounds…
