Bentley has been digging the new office as much as I have been this past month! He is always bopping across my screens to say hi when I'm working...usually when I'm on a Zoom. 😹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then this little coworker will curl up in my lap. Having a furry friend while you work is the best!! 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're currently working from home, do your pets hang out with you during the work day??

Happy Saturday, my friends. I hope the weekend is relaxing for you and full of time to recharge your batteries! 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The weather is so much warmer (going up to 50 today here in Ohio) so I'm looking to take a stroll around the block to get the fresh air that we all need right now before diving into some pre-spring cleaning! ☀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But first I want to leave you with a gentle reminder before you continue scrolling on with your day. ❤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who else has a stash full of @bathandbodyworks candles? 🙋‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you - but I am just itching for spring to be here. While I haven't minded winter quite as much as usual this year since working from home makes it much more bearable...I am ready to be able to go outside without freezing my tush off! 🥶🍑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have these beauties out and ready for some serious spring vibes! I reserve the flowery smells for spring. 🌸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whereas summer is full of more beachy scents - cue Island Margarita. 🏝🍸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stocking up on BBW candles has been something I have done ever since I worked there in college. Working there was legit one of the most downright fun jobs I have had. I mean...how can you not have fun when you are smelling goods like these all day?! 🤷‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What candles do you have in your candle shelf right now?

My little shadow and I. ...

My little shadow and I. 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bentley always loves to hang around me, night and day. He has been absolutely as "happy as a lark" (a phrase my gram always used to say 🥰) that I have been working from home for the past year! Every day, he hops on my lap while I'm working and often times says hello to my coworkers and associates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At night, he will often curl up in my lap or in my arms. When I go to bed, he hops up on the nightstand and sometimes just hangs out there until he decided to lay at the foot of the bed to sleep next to me. I think he chooses the foot of the bed since I'm so dang restless and I'm sure he doesn't want to inadvertently get kicked. 😹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is definitely the cuddly one, whereas Avery is more rambunctious. Love both of my little buddies so much!! 🥰💕

Just a reminder to act with love and kindness, as you never know what challenges the person you are talking to is facing.

More people are struggling now more than ever, even those who previously haven't suffered from mental health issues. Please know friends, there is no shame in taking care of your mental health.These past few months I have really been struggling with my anxiety. After losing my gram, my anxiety, which is typically pretty manageable, got a lot worse. I have been back in (virtual) therapy, which I am so grateful for!For me, one of my main "grounding" techniques that my therapist and I have been working on is actually here and on my blog! Having a creative outlet works for me. Likewise, short meditations on the Calm app help me, too. As do sensory awareness exercises.These grounding techniques are different for everyone - but one thing is for sure: self care is more than a bubble bath and face mask. It truly is taking care of your mental well being, too.Stay strong • hopeful • grateful • and full of love, friends. 💕

I am so excited to share the scoop about Bareminerals new Ageless Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate! #giftedTurning 30 this past year means I'm starting to REALLY notice my wrinkles. But I don't want to put a ton of chemicals into my skin to counteract them.Before breaking down the new product, I'll share that I've already been a Bareminerals fan for years now - Mineral Veil and Prime Time are two of my faves!Bareminerals Phyto-Retinol is actually derived from plants! So it is much cleaner than your typical retinol. It also has protein peptides and hyaluronic acid for some additional anti-aging effects. Oily skin? Not a problem. Sensitive skin? Ain't no thang!This night concentrate is also vegan, free of formaldehydes, parabens, and gluten!I tried this for a full month before reviewing as I really wanted to put it to the test before sharing my feedback with you. Not only does it smell amazing...but it absorbs very well. As a bonus, I didn't get splotchy skin like I typically do when trying a new moisturizer!But here's the coolest thing that happened. I have had a milia under my right eye, on my lower lash line for the past 5 years. I asked my dermatologist twice about removing it. She advised that the procedure may hurt and instead recommended that I take a sterile needle on my own to poke and squeeze it out.With how close it was to my eye...that was a HARD NOPE for me. On 2/2/21, the milia came out on its own! I am ecstatic and cannot help but think the Bareminerals Ageless Phyto-Retinol night concentrate helped make this happen because there nothing else in my routine had changed. And this formula has been clinically proven to improve texture and the smoothness of skin!Overall, it is a win in my books and I have officially swapped out my evening moisturizer with this product! Check it out at a Sephora near you or online! You won't be disappointed! 😊

I’m a total cat mom and definitely spoil my cats. Over the years, I have bought them so many useful (and useless) things. Sometimes they love what I bought them…and other times they turn their nose at it and walk away, tail high in the air.That being said, there are a number of items that…
