A Day in Half Moon Bay
With all of the travel and work obligations I've had over the past month-and-a-half, I haven't had the opportunity to explore the Bay Area recently. That changed last weekend, as I headed south to Half Moon Bay with my husband and two of our friends (who are also SF transplants from the south). San Francisco is incredible, don't get me wrong, but there is so much to see all around the Bay Area, and I was thrilled to finally experience Half Moon Bay. If you're unfamiliar with


Spring Trend: Culottes Jumpsuits
As much as I love the fall and winter and everything that comes with them (scarves, boots, football season, peppermint mochas, Christmastime...), I equally love spring because of the fashion trends that are back in season. I'm so excited to share my new favorite spring trend: culottes jumpsuits. I'm going to be real with y'all. I was very confused by culottes at first. I am 5'3", so I am used to maxi dresses and jumpsuits being long on me. When I tried on this culottes jumpsu

Everything You Need to Know about Blushington + Makeup Hacks
I do not love doing my makeup in the morning. I think I mostly hate it because I watch my husband roll out of bed and take maybe 10 minutes to get ready for work, and I think about all of the lost sleep in my life compared to him. Hashtag so unfair. But I love doing my makeup for big events like weddings, photo shoots, etc., and I really love getting my makeup done. But how many of us have gotten our makeup done only to look in the mirror and not even recognize the person we'

My New Skincare Obsession: Ole Henriksen
Ole Henriksen isn't new to my skincare routine. I started with the Walnut Complexion Scrub back in August, and because I saw so much success with that product, I've slowly eased into more Ole Henriksen products. I think that's the best way to experiment with new brands. If you see incredible results with X, then Y and Z may be a good fit for you, too, depending on your needs. I previously used Cetaphil religiously. I think I used that product for about seven years. I decided

The Craft Behind Craft Coffee + a Giveaway
If you know me well or if you've been following my Instagram account for a while, you know I am kind of obsessed with coffee. I love finding new and unique craft coffee shops when I travel, frequenting my favorite SF shops, visiting my old favorites in Dallas and learning more about how they make their coffee so dang good. I often wonder why I can't make my coffee as well as these talented baristas can, and I've learned it just takes practice (and really nice equipment). Last

Dresses for the Wedding Guest
Dress // Shoes // Necklace // Ring // Ring // Watch Raise you hand if you've been to more weddings than you can count? (Raises hand.) I love attending weddings and watching my friends and family begin the rest of the lives with the love of their life. Seriously. It's my favorite. I don't always love shopping for dresses for weddings, though. If you ask my husband, he'd say I have plenty of things to wear in our closet, but I always think of weddings as a great time for shopp
