It’s been a while since I did a quick “currently” post!

  • Podcast - How’d She Do That by Emily Landers. Each episode delivers a little dose of inspiration and Emily’s voice is smooth as butter! I love hearing from all of the entrepreneurs and visionaries she books. On days that I feel uninspired, this is almost always a cure. I enjoy that my Instagram feed is increasingly filled with some of the artists, bloggers and creatives she hosts. I’m learning fast that I am drawn to this podcast for how it makes me feel. Anticipation, excitement for what’s to come, and an assurance that anything is possible! What a dream it is to be on a show someday like this, talking about my blog and photography and creative pursuits.

  • Morning Routine - wakeup at 5:00 AM or so, fix hair and do makeup, get dressed. I have been taking a daily outfit picture for instagram stories (part of my capsule journey wardrobe) so I try to squeeze that in before baby wakes up around 5:45-6 AM. Then, wake up the baby, get her dressed and ready for her day. We share a quick bite of breakfast together while my coffee brews! Then, out the door. I have been loving how the morning commute is a bit more bright. All of that will soon change with upcoming daylight savings, but the chilly morning views of frosted fields and pink skies have been so enchanting.

  • Home Decor Inspo - I have a lot of plans and dreams in my head for some cosmetic and decor projects in our kitchen and living room. Until then, this beautiful spring centerpiece that I styled with faux tulips in a textured vase. It is giving me so much excitement for Easter and spring but the moody urn also feels serious and earthy. I love the juxtaposition! These tulips were inspired by a display I found at an antique store in Lake George, NY from this trip. As soon as I saw them I knew that I needed to scour Etsy for high-quality handmade faux tulips to achieve the same look and feel. They are so luxurious!! (Tulips source is Etsy || similar vase here- I got mine at the same store!)

  • Recipe - I’ll be honest, my go to of the last few weeks has been take out. Ahh! If I am cooking, it’s been really simple. I’ve lately been just doing a simple skillet chicken seasoned with oregano, adobo, pepper, paprika, and garlic. If I have more time, I am prepping dishes for oven baking. The other day I roasted garlic and some flavorful cherry tomatoes and threw it in some cavatelli pasta. It was delish!

  • Trend I’m Into - Cropped tees with high-waisted jeans, slugging and gua sha, white sneakers.

  • Trend I’m Skipping - Flare jeans and the denim maxi skirt trend…

  • Coffee order - I have been in my at-home coffee heyday. I used to be in the “nothing is better than Starbucks” camp but honestly I am really into my homemade Nespresso. I recently switched to oatmilk. So I do a big pour of heated/frothed oat milk, a Nespresso pod, and a dash of cinnamon.

  • Show - Clarkson’s Farm has been on repeat in my house. I find it to be absolutely delightful and peaceful; it is beautifully filmed and is visually a masterpiece. Jeremy Clarkson and his team is hugely entertaining. We’ve also been watching Outer Banks. Can’t wait for Succession and Mrs. Maisel to come back!

  • Travel dreams -Lately I’ve been feeling the pull to fly again. I haven’t flown since this Florida Keys trip which I am astonished was now 4 years ago. I think it’s time for a new trip for sure. Domestically, I am feeling drawn to the South….Charleston, Savannah, 30A. Internationally, Europe and the UK.

  • Wishlist - This makeup, new jeans, and this camera!
