It's a game-changer.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I originally posted this in November, but I'm coming back a few months later to update this as I have perfected my at-home gel manicure! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On a whim, in early fall, I bought supplies to attempt my gel manicure at home. I love having my nails done, and over the past 10 years, I have gone practically every 2 weeks. Not only is it costly but I love the results. I just don't love the experience and time it takes. I love a pedicure, but there's just something about a manicure at a salon that I would happily avoid. It seems like such a task. Champagne, problems, I know. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The supplies to do your own gel manicure at home are minimal. It costs about the price of a salon gel manicure for all of the supplies, so I figured even if I only do my nails once or twice, it's worth it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az02Z69NfxypA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gel Nail Light</a></b> is exactly like what they use at the salon. Now that I have had mine for several months, it has held up perfectly. I originally bought <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0vdZMBRN6Ku" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this gel nail set</a></b>, which comes with a top coat and base and a bunch of colors, but I also got the Gelish brand <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0rV4bo9teCg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Base and Top Coat</a> </b>since it's one I recognized. However, I don't love the colors in the gel set and would recommend just purchasing the Gelish <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0rV4bo9teCg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Base and Top Coat</a> </b>and then buying your own favorite colors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now that I know I can actually do a gel mani at home and I don't mind doing it, I've also been collecting some other OPI colors (<b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0CskuOUmw1w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one of my fave pinkish nudes</a></b>) since that is my favorite brand of polish. You can find many colors available on <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3TGpMeR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beyond Polish</a></b> and I've also had luck with <b><a href="https://bit.ly/4afIdfM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Walmart</a></b>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, I thought I would share some tips with you all since I'm basically a seasoned pro at this point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- From start to finish, it takes me about 20 minutes. It would take me 10 minutes to get to my nail salon and 10 minutes to get home, so I figure it is a time saver right then and there. It took me longer when I first started, but now I can move pretty quickly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- It's relaxing. I like to put on a show, set up my little salon area, and go to work. I enjoy it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- The prep is the most time-consuming part. The actual painting is quick. I use this <span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0lRTuhDMUtX" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Buffer and File Set</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- There are three things that I think make the biggest difference between an OK manicure and a great manicure: ensuring your nails are bone dry, applying very thin layers, and capping the nails at the top. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- To make sure my nails are bone dry, I use nail polish remover on my nails right before I go to apply the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0fX1TITpKZc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bonding Primer</a></b>. I do this even if there is no polish on my nails because it dries the nails out. I will sometimes lightly buff them so that the surface is rough. You want to create an environment where the gel will stick to the surface. Then, I go in with a light layer of the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0fX1TITpKZc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bonding Primer</a> </b><span style="text-align: center;">which is a must. Do not skip this step. It helps SO much and is, in my opinion, better than the OPI pro bond. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- When I go in with the base and then onto the color coats, I try to make the layers as thin as I possibly can. I started out way too heavy-handed. This was one of those things where it took some trial and error to figure out how to get the layers really thin, but you just have to wipe the brush on the bottle a lot. The thinner the layers, the better they will hold up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- I only cure each layer for 30 seconds. I originally assumed, the longer you cure the nails, the better, but that's not the case. You want to keep the gel layers slightly tacky so that they all stick to each other. Only at the top coat do you want to cure for 60-90 seconds to finish it off and make sure nothing is sticky. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Practice capping the nails with a light color. You won't notice your mistakes as much, and capping with a darker color is harder! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Removing is really easy. You just soak your nails in acetone with the aluminum foil like they would at the salon and you can buff it off in stubborn areas if needed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Even though capping the nails with a lighter color is easier, painting with a darker color can help you get used to making sure there is no pooling of polish at the cuticle. If there is pooling, the gel will start to lift after just a few days. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGVCQPKVWUrBLxVUo5DXkbx1gFkSItu2Tu2Paz6O9tB9TZS57a3Axn3DgDdCs_IixGAccnqE2G-u8C4HF1pnUJt1LCkNbnyENWFJCzzKDXZI57l_Ioz2TzBkP4qzFQbzfA3TD1B4qjeraSwiLU6cyrNitqjEHTsU9AbmsA69ivT5-uiDCXjp6zBMBq-9k/s5712/IMG_6045.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGVCQPKVWUrBLxVUo5DXkbx1gFkSItu2Tu2Paz6O9tB9TZS57a3Axn3DgDdCs_IixGAccnqE2G-u8C4HF1pnUJt1LCkNbnyENWFJCzzKDXZI57l_Ioz2TzBkP4qzFQbzfA3TD1B4qjeraSwiLU6cyrNitqjEHTsU9AbmsA69ivT5-uiDCXjp6zBMBq-9k/w480-h640/IMG_6045.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I don't have great nails or hands, but I really do think I'm getting almost the same result as I would at the salon. I haven't perfected it yet, but I've gotten significantly better since I started just a few weeks ago. It's also pretty calming to do this, and if you are somewhat of a perfectionist like me, you'll have a field day. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

They are sold separately but come in so many coordinating colors. They're modest without being *too* modest, if that makes sense. The tank is so breathable and very loose, which I like. I love how the two pieces look together. I wore the pink set to Orange Theory yesterday! I sized up to a medium in both pieces. I would say they run true to size, I personally prefer things like this to fit very loosely, so you may want to get your true size and not size up like I did if you prefer a closer fit. The medium shorts are a little loose at my waist but I like that. Are you <b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b>?!

I was hesitant because I wasn't sure how much wear I'd get out of them, considering they are somewhat similar to my Hermes sandals, and they're also pricey. I finally ordered them for myself as my birthday gift (coming up in a few weeks). I am so glad I did. They are even better in person and in person, I can tell they're definitely different in style to the Hermes sandals. These look more structured/ladylike/polished, whereas the Hermes sandals are very casual. I was also concerned the patent would be rough on my feet, but I was so glad to find they're very comfortable. All-in-all, if you are on the fence, I'd say go for it. I have no regrets! They run true to size. I sized up to a 39.5 in Hermes but got my true size 39 in these!</div><div class="lookbook-widget" data-widget-id="575781"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t)

It apparently happens when the bristle gets on the food, unbeknownst to the griller. I don't think it's common, but it can happen. We love to grill and so I found t<b><a href="https://amzn.to/3v9znBh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">his grill brush</a></b> and <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0DaXXRolaYr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this grill brush</a></b> that are supposed to be safer. Have any of you used either before? Both seem to get good reviews and honestly, it will help me to sleep better... I wish I was kidding!! I have both sitting in my cart right now trying to decide between the two. You can find more of my <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0KX1F7qltuT" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon favorites, here</a> </b>on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Traveling:</b> This weekend, I am hoping to stay low-key with little plans as my mom and I are headed on a fun little trip to the Greenbrier! I wanted to plan something fun for my mom and me as we always have the best time together. I haven't been to the Greenbrier since our mini-moon in August of 2021, so it's been over 2.5 years. I have to say that the Greenbrier was just OK on our mini-moon... honestly a little disappointing. I mean, it was our mini-moon, so we were just elated, but the Greenbrier was not the Greenbrier I experienced even in 2019. But that was still somewhat the pandemic, so I gave them a pass. I'm hoping it's better this go-round. We wanted to pick a place that is easy to get to/driving distance, and there aren't many options from Pittsburgh. You know my mom is the OG Taco Bell lover so I am excited for us to get Taco Bell either on the drive to or from the Greenbrier, ha!!! </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Quoting: </b>'<i>We suffer more from imagination than reality.</i>' - Seneca<b> // </b>See more of<b><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/SummerWind41490/a-cultured-life-books-quotes-and-art/" target="_blank"> my favorites, here.</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">T</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">his content may contain affiliate links; when you click the link and make a purchase, I may receive a commission (at no cost to you). </span></i></div><script type="text/javascript">

Whenever I share, you all ask for a recipe! I am not a food blogger and don't measure, but the best part about this recipe is that you don't need to measure anything. My husband and I created this because I love Chipotle bowls. I have tried to get that similar flavor for a while, and I think I've nailed it. My husband and I both think this is actually better than Chipotle as it tastes fresher and has even more flavor. The nice thing about this is that, health-wise, there are very few processed foods in this recipe, and it is packed with vegetables. </div><div><br /></div><div>The biggest thing about this recipe is knowing that the flavors you are tasting in Chipotle's food are mostly lime and cilantro. I substitute things and bend the recipe as needed based on what I have on hand, but you *need* these two items for this recipe. We use an entire bushel of cilantro and probably four limes, which serves about four people (I love this as leftovers). </div><div><br /></div><div>This has a lot of ingredients, so here's your shopping list:</div><div>- 3 tomatoes (whatever looks best right now since they're not in season, I typically use Roma)</div><div>- at least 4 limes</div><div>- one large bunch of cilantro</div><div>- Jasmine rice</div><div>- 1red onion</div><div>- 1 red pepper</div><div>- 1 green pepper</div><div>- 1 white onion</div><div>- 1 bag of frozen corn</div><div>- 1 small jalapeno</div><div>- 2 avocados </div><div>- 1 lb chicken breast</div><div><br /></div><div>Add ons:</div><div>- sour cream</div><div>- shredded cheese</div><div>- Trader Joe's salsa (with the yellow lid) </div><div><br /></div><div>You'll also need olive oil, garlic salt, regular salt, pepper, and the <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0gzzLEr9u82" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spicewalla Carne Asada seasoning</a></b>.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Pico </b></div><div>First, we will start with my favorite part of the recipe. It is SO easy!! </div><div><br /></div><div>You'll need:</div><div>- Tomatoes (I use two Roma tomatoes or whatever looks nicest at the grocery store, considering they are still not in season)</div><div>- Cilantro</div><div>- Lime</div><div>- Red Onion (Traditionally, I think, pico calls for white onion, but I personally prefer red onion and think the purple color makes the pico look prettier)</div><div>- Garlic Salt </div><div><br /></div><div>Finely chop the tomatoes, cilantro, and red onion. Mix together. Juice from one small lime (if it's a big lime, do half and add more if needed). Love <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0l5IkmRILrD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this citrus juicer</a></b>. Top off with garlic salt and mix everything together. If I have time, I like to make this in the morning so it has time to marinate together until we eat at dinner! Sometimes, I add in finely diced jalapeno for a nice kick. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Fajita Vegetables</b></div>My favorite part of Chipotle is their fajita vegetables!<div><br /><div>You'll need:</div><div>- 1 red pepper</div><div>- 1 green pepper</div><div>- Half of a white onion</div><div><br /></div><div>Slice one red and one green pepper. Slice one-half of a white onion. (I toss in a yellow pepper if I have it on hand for color and variety, but it's unnecessary). My husband sautees these in a <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0hNxPeJYyVL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cast iron skillet</a></b> with some olive oil (<b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0XwTL26QgDE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this is the best</a></b>), salt, and pepper. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Chicken</b></div><div>- 1 lb chicken</div><div>- <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0gzzLEr9u82" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spicewalla Carne Asada seasoning</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>If you can, pre-season the chicken the night before. Season it generously with seasoned salt, pepper, and the <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0gzzLEr9u82" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spicewalla Carne Asada seasoning</a></b>. If you haven't heard of this seasoning brand, check it out; it's one of my favorites. After it has had a chance to marinate in the seasonings, slice the chicken into fajita-style strips. Fully cook in a cast iron skillet with some olive oil. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Corn</b></div><div>I love the cold corn salsa at Trader Joe's but I actually make this warm! </div><div>- Frozen corn</div><div>- Finely diced red onion</div><div>- Cilantro</div><div>- Finely diced jalapeno</div><div><br /></div><div>Cook the corn, red onion, and jalapeno in a skillet with a tiny bit of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. At the end of cooking, toss in a bit of cilantro. So easy.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Guac</b></div><div>Guac is not extra in this house!</div><div><br /></div><div>- two avocados</div><div>- garlic salt</div><div>- red onion</div><div>- cilantro</div><div>- lime</div><div><br /></div><div>Mash up the avocado, and add the juice from half to one whole lime (depending on taste). Finely dice the red onion and add that to the avocado mixture. Add in finely chopped cilantro. Season with garlic salt. You can add tomatoes but I don't like to! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Rice</b></div><div>I love to purchase jasmine rice from the Trader Joe's freezer section. </div><div><br /></div><div>- Jasmine Rice</div><div>- Cilantro</div><div>- Lime</div><div><br /></div><div>Cook your rice and then add in a big handful of chopped cilantro and squeeze 1-2 full limes to taste. This is so simple, but it makes a huge difference. </div><div><br /></div><div>Once you have everything made, the final step is to assemble your bowl. You can add on:</div><div>- Sour Cream (the key is to mix it up with a spoon for a fluffier texture)</div><div>- Shredded cheese </div><div>- Cilantro</div><div>- Lime </div><div>- Salsa (the Trader Joe's salsa with the yellow lid is my all-time favorite) </div><div><br /></div><div>It's a lot of prep work and assembling, but it's nice to have leftovers, and it is truly so incredible. I don't love to cook and loathe longer recipes, but this one is truly worth all of the chopping and assembling.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

The photos have nothing to do with this post, but it's an outfit I wanted to highlight as <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3rXlW5Y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lake just launched some new pieces</a></b> and sent me <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3TtJavk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this gorgeous spring dress</a></b>! I styled it three different ways: lunch with girlfriends, beach/pool, and walking Henry or a spring/summer sporting event. I also just got <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0E7vWyB2MMC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this inexpensive lipstick</a></b> (under $10), and I've been loving it. I have both Glass Rudy and Shine Stealer and both are great colors. They're pigmented and very moisturizing! </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok now back to the focus of this post! To give you a quick rundown on August's list and where I stand with that:</div><div><br /></div><div>- Less anxious, more calm: I've worked hard on this and am much better. </div><div>- Read more: total failure. Total. Really need to prioritize this.</div><div>- Improve Flexibility: Every single day, I love to stretch! </div><div>- Improve gardening skills: I work on it every season. </div><div>- Do something with my photos: I started to organize them, but then I dropped the ball. </div><div>- Explore Pittsburgh: I have improved but could do more!</div><div>- Eat more vegetables: I have definitely improved my intake!</div><div>- Find another workout: I have recently started at-home workouts with my husband in the evenings. This wasn't really the goal, but I've really enjoyed it. They are just quick and decently easy, but because of that, it's easy to stick to them. I'm still doing Orange Theory, walking a ton, and rowing at home, but this is a good addition! I'd still love to find a once-a-week pilates class. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, let's move on to more things I'd like to work on...</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Not Leaving Clothes On End of Bed Bench</b></div><div>This is a small 'issue,' but it drives me nuts that I do this. I am a neat and organized person. Everything in our home has a 'spot' which helps keep any visual clutter at bay. Our beautiful bench at the end of our bed matches our headboard. It's more for decoration than anything else, but we sit on it to put on shoes and whatnot. Henry loves to lay on it. However, I have this annoying habit of putting clothes at the end of the bench. They're usually clothes I have worn but still need to wash. So, for example, I have a sweatshirt I wear to and from Orange Theory but I can get one or two more wears that week before I toss it in the laundry. Or maybe it's an outfit I wore on Tuesday that I plan to repeat and wear again on Friday. It clutters up the bench, and it's just annoying that I do this! My husband has this odd but also practical system where he has a double laundry basket. Instead of separating his laundry by lights and darks, he separates it by half-worn items and items that need to be washed. He says he doesn't want to return the half-worn items to his clean closet, so they go neatly into one side of the basket. Maybe I'll adopt his system, but I want to work on this! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Judging Myself Less</b></div><div>There is that saying, 'We are our own worst critic,' and I am exactly that. I am SO harsh with myself. It's gotten worse in recent years, and quite frankly, sometimes I am just downright mean to myself. I often ignore milestones and accomplishments and focus on shortcomings. Part of it is that I am always wondering how I can do better and be better, which is not bad, but it too often crosses a line into detrimental territory. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Go To Bed Earlier</b></div><div>I'm a night owl. I have written numerous posts about how I SO BADLY want to be a morning person. I've been going to bed too late, and I really need to get back into my routine of going to bed at a decent hour! My husband and I go to bed at the same time every night, so I keep jokingly telling him he needs to tell me it's bedtime, ha! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Clean Our Garage and basement</b></div><div>If I'm being honest, our garage and basement are ridiculous. It is organized chaos. We have WAY too much stuff, and a lot of it is unnecessary. We have a small finished basement, and originally, when we moved in, we set it up as a media room with a sectional, big comfy chair, coffee table, TV, etc. It was cozy and had a nice setup. We bought a huge TV, thinking we would go down there and watch movies and have parties. We have never once watched a movie down there. When we host, we never host down in the basement. That space makes no sense for us and how we live and entertain. I'd love to remove the furniture and turn it into an organized storage space or something along those lines. I really have no idea, but it stresses me out. We have so much random stuff stored in our garage: things like coolers and Christmas decor; we are very suburban with our garage refrigerator and a few shelving units. It's not as annoying as our basement, but we must purge. I don't think we will be in this house for many more years, so I don't want to invest too much money or do anything too permanent. We shall see, but I am motivated to eliminate so much stuff! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Volunteer More</b></div><div>I'd love to find an organization where I can volunteer on a more scheduled basis and where I can go several times per month! Mostly, I give financial donations or attend one-off yearly events with a donation component. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

Most of my sneakers are reserved for either fashion, trips where we do a lot of walking, or just walking in my neighborhood. </div><div><br /></div><div>I just hit my 400th class at Orange Theory last week, which inspired me to share my favorite workout sneakers. I wear them for Orange Theory classes and running, jumping, games like Pickleball, and anything else intense. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have super high arches and require a sneaker with adequate arch support. While I have tried on many pairs of sneakers from many brands, I have found two pairs that I have purchased over and over again from two different brands:</div><div><br /></div><div>- <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://howl.me/clN4W70Sksv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nike Pegasus</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div></div></div><div>- <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/4a3yaKG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Adidas Ultraboost</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>These are not the most 'in' sneakers, the 'coolest' sneakers, or even the cutest sneakers.

My favorite part of the Ultraboost is that I can slip my feet into them without adjusting the laces. They are also much bouncier, which I like. If you are just doing floor exercises, go with the pegasus because the bounce is noticeable, and therefore, the pegasus feels slightly more 'grounded'. I love the bounce for jumping and running. These also have a bit more cushion to them than the Pegasus. I love the breathable upper portion of the sneakers; my feet never overheat. Because of the bounce, I even like to wear them on walks. <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3TvXVOv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This</a></b> is one of their newer lines in the Ultraboost series and I'm really intrigued! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><b><a href="https://howl.me/clN4W70Sksv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nike Pegasus</a></b></div><div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-khe-OEpSgrw1CDM6fFO2JCRSQRIaIopFguKavPY5DRH9MqG3gw5eEkC15TM5kSiXnZ7KkJsoCunhImYaN2GMhMKR-rGseUcsNCti3GtKV1C2J57ahljANyjfuPnpfA1TPU17vl2JzUEiSI2gXA8CtcXpGHGIc7jClmO3Qy4n36BVYXhLCuXw3wu6RI1/s2048/IMG_2325%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1639" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-khe-OEpSgrw1CDM6fFO2JCRSQRIaIopFguKavPY5DRH9MqG3gw5eEkC15TM5kSiXnZ7KkJsoCunhImYaN2GMhMKR-rGseUcsNCti3GtKV1C2J57ahljANyjfuPnpfA1TPU17vl2JzUEiSI2gXA8CtcXpGHGIc7jClmO3Qy4n36BVYXhLCuXw3wu6RI1/w512-h640/IMG_2325%202.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94_9tckOcUEQp5oR25tvuiULZhSAhnjlH2KuWBRq_3NfoHhpMv2zFFKVjmvnleQjkzHLS91zTPX2eZ-DADXfesmJSy1sJtWHBxBNet710Ml4CMICwlSVAlnFPqftgYBRlU4fKVqTbm4xMyJkwxxR_5EC8y30bmWAbiPm_FxrZW6b7rn0omc0Wxj12N_Bq/s2048/IMG_6231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94_9tckOcUEQp5oR25tvuiULZhSAhnjlH2KuWBRq_3NfoHhpMv2zFFKVjmvnleQjkzHLS91zTPX2eZ-DADXfesmJSy1sJtWHBxBNet710Ml4CMICwlSVAlnFPqftgYBRlU4fKVqTbm4xMyJkwxxR_5EC8y30bmWAbiPm_FxrZW6b7rn0omc0Wxj12N_Bq/w480-h640/IMG_6231.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51Dz4DweEB1WXhv6rMLMrc1pREucSNL_iLsE0UWgZiYYlUkxrKOzhrQc2Tvw1wtTOhU09UfJzrQjH2CiDbHcHpq3ZQRXrVbLIo-OnuK04wIXz7tWNHgY1fK1Y8ra6UoOTNJDMELSSHw5B-iBop0jvFFvqGGUnSZbQhG-1HCEiJpcD8J8J659o5on2gixx/s2048/IMG_6232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1639" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51Dz4DweEB1WXhv6rMLMrc1pREucSNL_iLsE0UWgZiYYlUkxrKOzhrQc2Tvw1wtTOhU09UfJzrQjH2CiDbHcHpq3ZQRXrVbLIo-OnuK04wIXz7tWNHgY1fK1Y8ra6UoOTNJDMELSSHw5B-iBop0jvFFvqGGUnSZbQhG-1HCEiJpcD8J8J659o5on2gixx/w512-h640/IMG_6232.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Pegasus style is the lightest-weight sneaker I have ever worn. They're like air, and they fit my foot as if they were custom molded. The arch support is amazing. There is very little bounce/spring in these, so I love them for the Orange Theory floor portion. They make my feet and, in turn, ankles feel so stable, especially when doing lateral movements. These are my Orange Theory-only shoes. If you run outside, I would definitely suggest the trail model Pegasus. I actually love the <b><a href="https://howl.me/clN6iJ5dxJL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">trail model</a></b>, even for indoors, as it has a better grip and a little more support. The only thing I don't love about the Trail model is that it is less breathable and ever so slightly heavier than the regular Pegasus model. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I'd say if you are between the two pairs, go with the Ultraboost first as the Pegasus are amazing but feel a little more 'niche' than the Ultraboost. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

I really love today's roundup- it has some of everything! I have been in a shopping mood lately so I have lots to share with you all!</div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div><b><i>Some items of note... </i></b></div><div><br /></div><div>- Two things on this list that I own and highly recommend. First, this <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/48InQqw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blue Striped Set</a></b>. It's SO comfortable and adorable. I sized up to a medium which is so comfortable but think it may be more flattering in my true size small. But I wear this SO much in the warmer months.</div><div><br /></div><div>- The second thing I own and love so much is this <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3V6JYre" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crewneck Sweatershirt</a></b>. It's a thick scuba-type material and I love how structed and polished it looks. It does not get wrinly and is so easy to toss in the washer and dryer. It's back this year in three good colors! I got a medium- it's very oversized so I'd so go with your true size for a roomy but less oversized fit. </div><div><br /></div><div>- I am absolutely drooling over the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://howl.me/clMGWfm8kef" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yellow Dress</a></b>. It's SO 1960's in the best way. I picture Jackie O or Samatha Stevens in this. So so so good. Perfet for spring weddings and parties. </div><div><br /></div><div>- I love a dirty gin martini but I prefer it bone dry (aka no vermouth). I thought these <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az05f5TCKkXKi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vermouth Olives</a> </b>were interesting. I figured they would add the tiniest bit of vermouth flavor without actually adding any vermouth. My husband likes to put the vermouth in my glass swirl it around and then dump it out so it's just lightly coating the glass. </div><div><br /></div><div>- I just ordered this <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/3TaFq0q" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunscreen Face Spray Mist</a></b> for our Mexico trip and after that, I plan to put it by our front door so I can spritz it on quickly as I'm headed out on my walks with Henry. It seems so convenient for sunscreen touchups and quick applications. Use code SUMMERWIND at checkout for a discount!</div><div><br /></div><div>- I have been on the hunt for a small, dressy gold handbag. I saw one from Aspinal of London years ago and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it because it was exactly what I wanted and needed. This <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/439bEOj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Small Gold Crossbody</a> </b>option looks great- it has a strap or can be a clutch. Speaking of Aspinal of London, the prices in their<b><a href="https://bit.ly/4c3osd4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 'outlet' section</a></b> are incredible. The quality is that of any $1000++ designer bag. I have a few from the brand and love them. I also love <b><a href="https://bit.ly/48Qwq6l" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this small gold bag</a></b> and am considering it! </div><div><br /></div><div>- Isn't this blue and white <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az032VrJ1Jwks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pet Bowl</a> </b>adorable?! We have a similar version of this in our upstairs bathroom for Henry! I love anything pet-related that is aesthetically pleasing that blends in with my decor. </div><div><br /></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>See last week's <a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/03/weekend-wish-list.html" target="_blank">Weekend Wish List, here</a>!</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><b>For your weekend reading, here are blog posts you may have missed from this week:</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/03/dermstore-sale-skincare-and-beauty.html" target="_blank">Dermstore Sale Picks</a></b> (sale ends Sunday, use coe SUMMERWIND at checkout!)<b></b></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/03/february-favorites.html" target="_blank">February Favorites</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/03/little-things.html" target="_blank">Little Things</a></b> (finding beauty in the minutiae) </div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/03/lately.html" target="_blank">Lately</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="font-style: normal;"><i><span>Are you </span><b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b><span>?!

It's been a good one around here. The weather was GLORIOUS earlier this week. It was sunny and I'm pretty sure we hit a record high at some point. It was in the 70s. I couldn't believe it. I took advantage and took 3 very long walks on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. </div><div><br /></div><div>Work is ramping up- (every year like clockwork- always nice). January and February are slow, and I don't mind it one bit. It gives me a nice reprieve after the holiday madness! </div><div><br /></div><div>This weekend, we are doing date night on Friday at one of my fave restaurants (that's annoyingly hard to get a res) and a fun little St. Patrick's Day event on Saturday. We had absolutely no plans this past weekend, and I was just about as lazy as I could manage. I loved every second, but I can only be so lazy for so long. I also plan to work a bit this weekend. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have a lot coming up in the next eight or so weeks. My calendar is packed, and while it is literally all fun and exciting things, sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed when I see such a packed schedule! We are doing a fun little mother-daughter trip this month, I'm launching my Beth Ladd collaboration, we have a few fun dates planned and some things with friends, Easter, celebrating my birthday a little early this year since we are then headed to Mexico for a wedding that we all extended into a vacation. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6GREvC01CrjKB9SvUAITjKoosBD6QbwzeWkjJHrCTMu9NDMnhq9n-3yrUegPl-KOvmQ-YY92eec_gQXbFIBaVMea7uHH-TsGlbGic7rPRUOCqhHl1nLgecpjn8BKDSdMyXhvUz9yUniXwbkp9vYmx-JHdD__X78N1_b0vsxGF1elRBEkON1ClPUe5tqzJ/s4031/IMG_5685_VSCO.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4031" data-original-width="2267" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6GREvC01CrjKB9SvUAITjKoosBD6QbwzeWkjJHrCTMu9NDMnhq9n-3yrUegPl-KOvmQ-YY92eec_gQXbFIBaVMea7uHH-TsGlbGic7rPRUOCqhHl1nLgecpjn8BKDSdMyXhvUz9yUniXwbkp9vYmx-JHdD__X78N1_b0vsxGF1elRBEkON1ClPUe5tqzJ/w360-h640/IMG_5685_VSCO.JPG" width="360" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="Sweater" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Navy Dress</a></b>// <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3V2AD3R" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">White Linen Top</a></b>// <b><a href="https://bit.ly/48E2PgA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Striped Shorts</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3Vps8QH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Striped Top</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/49lTgE4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pink Dress</a></b>// <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3TquxsI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweater</a></b></div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><b><br /></b></div><b>Wearing: </b>Ordered some <b><a href="https://bit.ly/2Cdpvrc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">J.Crew new arrivals</a></b> recently and loved them ALL.<b> </b>Are you <b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b>?!

I know most think that January drags on but I found it to go quickly. For some reason, February seemed SO long. It's odd, because I was very busy last month so you'd think it would have felt fast! Anyway, not a huge favorites list this month. I haven't shopped as much in January and February so I haven't found a ton of standouts. Though the list is small, these are all great! </div><div><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://howl.me/clLzRtQKUlE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slippers</a></b>// Thes are a repurchase for me. I have purchased at least 4 times in recent memory. I love a good shearling slipper in the colder months. I love this one, in particular, because the sole is so flexible. I only wear these in the house so I prefer something thinner and flexible! I wear these out until they start to get holes in the footbed.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3TlE9Vx" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Tortoise Frame with linen mat</a>// I caved and ordered this. We have a blank wall near our back door and I have searched high and low for art that speaks to me. One issue is that the size needed to be large and finindng something within my budget while also be large and also to my taste was just impossible. I framed a photo I took in Portofino and while I'm not a big photo-on-the-wall gal, I love how this turned out. The framing was done so beautifully and I love the photo- it evokes warmth and serenity. I'm just so pleased. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/3P3jAdU" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Lipstick Gloss</a>// I've shared this a lot lately. It's on sale right now with code SUMMERWIND. My sister was my influence on this. I love that it saturated like lipstick and shiny like gloss! It's just so good. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://www.sloppyjoe.co.uk/products/collar-02-diana-blue" target="_blank">Collared Sweatshirt</a></b>// I don't know that I have ever included this cotton sweatshirt and I can't believe I haven't because it's something I wear weekly. It's a small brand out of the UK and known because Princess Diana allegedly wore the brand back in the 80s or 90s. The sweatshirt is the type of quality you can't find much anymore. It's a thick but soft cotton- it reminds me of Comfort Colors a bit but even better quality. I wear a size 2- it runs really oversized but in the best way! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3IsS4Tq" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Shorts Lounge Set</a>// The very BEST. I love the pants version and this is my first shorts set and they are just as wonderful as the pants. The fabric is silky smooth and almost cooling and the shorts are so roomy and comfortable. I cannot sing the praises of this set more. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0qZWPYPBZLl" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Gold Double Hoop Earrings</a>// These are an inexpensive Amazon find and I'm blown away by the quality for the price. They are a simple pair of earrings but so pretty. I find myself wearing these a lot. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/49FHTXO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raffia Ballet Flats</a></b>// These are SO comfortable. I have them in gold from the holiday season and now for spring, they are done in a beautiful Raffia and piped in leather. They are classic and beautifully but the padded footbed is what sets them apart for me. The sole is flexible and not stiff. They are beyond comfortable! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0XlbwL1v1us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pro Bond</a></b>// If you do your own nails at home and want them to last longer, use this first. It extends my at-home gel manicured immensely and has become a can't-miss step. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://howl.me/clLzJuxSKYc" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Splatterware Mug</a>// This is such a high quality mug and feels so substantial in my hand. The splatterware is so well done and feels very 'artisan'. It's a bit pricey for a mug but worth it, in my opinion, for the joy it brings me each morning. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Monthly Favorites:</i></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/january-favorites.html" target="_blank">January</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div><b><i>2023 Monthly Favorites List:</i></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/01/january-favorites-2023.html" target="_blank">January</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/02/february-favorites.html" target="_blank">February</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/04/march-favorites.html" target="_blank">March</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/05/april-favorites.html" target="_blank">April</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/06/may-favorites.html" target="_blank">May</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/07/june-favorites.html" target="_blank">June</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/08/july-favorites.html" target="_blank">July</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/09/august-favorites.html" target="_blank">August</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/10/september-favorites.html" target="_blank">September</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/11/october-favorites.html" target="_blank">October</a></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2023/12/november-favorites.html" target="_blank">November</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Check out my yearly favorites... </i></b></div><div>- <a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/01/my-favorite-things-2023.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">2023 Favorites</a></div><div>- <a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2022/12/my-favorite-things-2022.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">2024 Favorites</a></div><div>- <a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2021/12/my-favorite-things-2021.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">2021 Favorites</a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="text-align: left;">Are you </span><b style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b><span style="text-align: left;">?!

I love it when brands give me a code because it gives me something of value to provide you all with! But anyway, you can use it even during non-sale periods and still get $$ off at checkout. The code changes on what it works for from time to time- I don't know the specifics or timeline of the changes, but it doesn't work the same 24/7, just a heads up! But this particular sale goes through March 10th! </div><div><br /></div><div>These products I am recommending are only things I have used myself and would *highly* recommend. I love skincare and love to try products, but at the end of the day, the biggest thing about skincare is being regimented in your routine regardless of the actual product. I was talking to my girlfriend about this the other night, and she asked me if I ever skip skincare or makeup removal, and I said literally never skip- no matter what! Consistency is the most important thing you can do to ensure your products work to the best of their ability. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's important to know your skin, too. The same skincare does not work for everybody, and my skincare goals are also likely a bit different than yours! My skin is acne-prone, and I am most focused on hydrating and keeping fine lines as *fine* as possible. My under eyes are my biggest insecurity as I have dark circles, and I feel like that is where I am aging most noticeably! Also, to preface, aging is NORMAL and not a negative. How lucky are we that we get to grow older with every passing day? But I think it's important to do whatever one wants to feel good and confident. I was extremely anxious and stressed in 2020, and I feel like those 18 months leading up to our July 2021 wedding aged me about 10 years. I know many of you likely feel similarly for various reasons. It makes me personally feel good to invest in my skin. Just like investing in my Orange Theory workouts makes me feel physically and mentally good. That's also to say you do not need to spend buckets of money on skincare. One of my favorite moisturizers is <a href="https://amzlink.to/az0VRxCMBG4kW" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">this drugstore brand</a>. I am always sure to have it on hand. </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/48FX0iy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rich Cream</a></b>// This is pricey and even on sale, it's still pricey. Though it is something I have repeatedly purchased ever since trying it. I held off on trying it for so long because I didn't want it to be that good, but it is. You can find it on sale several times yearly, so I never pay full price. The story behind this brand is long-winded, so look it up if you are curious because it really is fascinating. I have seen such great results with this cream. It is SO hydrating, and the texture is unlike any other moisturizer I have used. If you want to use one step in your skincare regimen, it could be this because of all its beneficial ingredients. I love to wear it under my makeup, though some think this is too heavy for that- they make a lighter cream that I have not tried. I also notice that it truly plumps my skin. My fines truly lessen after application, and I also notice my pores look smaller. I noticed this after the first use, but it just gets better and better the more you use it. My mom does not like to spend much on skincare, but even she loves this product. Out of all of the products mentioned in this blog post, this is my #1 recommendation. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/434vFFQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cleanser</a></b>// I love this cleanser. I used to be a Tula cleanser gal. It's my opinion that cleanser is where you can save your money. As long as I find something that cleanses well and is not drying, that's all I care about, and I can focus more on actives in my serums, toners, and moisturizers. This is a really great standard cleanser. My husband and I both love it. It's gentle but cleanses well and does not dry out my skin. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/3v5oX5D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peel Pads</a></b>// I have two peel pads on this list and while they do the same things, they are different and I like to have both on hand. These peel pads are STRONG. If you are new to something like this, I would recommend starting with something gentler (like the ones you'll see me talk about below). They burn sometimes... in a good way! I typically use these leading up to an event where I want my skin to look extra good. They are expensive and harsh, so It's not an everyday thing. In a maintenance period, I use them about once per week. They keep my acne away, make my skin clear and bright, and make my pores look smaller. I also like <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3qYiN1S" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these peel pads</a></b>- they are only one step, which I prefer, but I think they both do the same thing, so I just purchase whatever is on sale when I need to restock. If you want big results quickly, this is it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/3P3jAdU" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Lipstick Gloss</a>// My sister turned me on to this. For the longest time, I just always assumed this lip product was for teens. I think maybe it's the packaging. This has the color payoff of a lipstick, the nourishing feeling of a balm, and the shine of a gloss. It's truly like a 3-in-1 product, and I can't get enough. It has a coconut scent, which I don't love. I was drinking a glass of champagne once and kept smelling coconut as I was drinking from the glass and throwing my taster off. So that is kind of annoying but, this is so good that I'm willing to look past that. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/3P4x758" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Setting Powder</a></b>// This is a newer product for me as I got it only a few weeks ago, but I am enjoying it so far. I don't have a favorite setting powder. I've tried a lot and I have liked most. I liked that this is hydrating. As I get older, I need more hydration and if I use setting powder under my eyes, the more moisture the better. I think this works really well and doesn't leave a white cast. I just bought the small size but will get the larger size when I run out. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/431a4xL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peel Pads</a></b>// These peel pads come in a tub instead of individual packets. They are much gentler than the Dennis Gross peel pads. I use them nightly. Anything stronger would dry me out too much, so I like that this is gentle enough for daily use. They have a light but pleasant scent and contain lactic acid, so you get a light chemical exfoliation. I've tried other brands that make gentle peel pads for daily use but always come back to these. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/3V3NcMm" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Lash Serum</a>// I used Grande Lash years ago and turned the skin above my lashes brownish red. It's a common side effect of the active ingredient, prostaglandin, which is in most brown and lash serums. I had to stop using it, and eventually, my skin returned to its normal color. This lash serum contains prostaglandin but for some reason, I have no side effects with this. Do your own research on this ingredient. I don't necessarily think it is good, so I try to use this only when I feel my lashes need a boost. It really does work, and it works SO quickly. I notice full, long lashes within a week and after two weeks. I have to slow down on usage because my lashes get almost too long. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/4bV0dh3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Midnight Facial Cream</a></b>// I love this! Elemis' Superfood line is great and I don't see many talk about it and I often wonder why. This is a nice thick night cream, but the texture is gel-like, unlike most other heavy night creams. I have tried a lot of night creams, and this is solid, especially for the price. I find myself coming back to it consistently. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/3P7N5eN" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Blush</a>// This is another newer product for me. I was curious about it because the description and even the look/packaging reminded me a lot of my beloved Hauslabs blushes/highlighters. I got the shade pomegranate, and I love it. The texture and color payoff is very similar to Hauslabs as I suspected. It's the prettiest rosy pink-red shade and it's just like Hauslabs in that it applies like a creamy gel but turns to a powder finish. It's so easy to blend and sheerer so you can be heavy handed. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tidd.ly/49Da89y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Curling Iron</a></b>// I've used a 1.25" t3 for years. It's a great curling iron, and I specifically love this size! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://tidd.ly/48vRT4F" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Eye Patches</a>// I use these weekly when I need my under eyes to be plump and depuffed. I have terrible undereye circles and it's a constant source of annoyance for me. It's where I notice I am aging the most. Whenever I use these, my concealer sits better. It's also a savior after a night of sushi or a dirty martini when my face tends to be extra puffy. I love to pack these when traveling. I keep them in the refrigerator at home for an extra cooling effect that feels amazing on tired eyes. I also love to give these as gifts! </div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="font-style: normal;"><i><span>Are you </span><b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b><span>?!

Did you all enjoy your extra day in February?! Although it looks a bit cloudy for the next 10 days, it looks like March will be off to a very mild start, and I'm so happy! Monday is supposed to be 72 degrees, which is crazy for this time of year in Pittsburgh. March usually has an annoying snowstorm, so I am not holding my breath. I was born on April 14th and brought home in the snow, so there's that. All I can say is that I will definitely be getting my steps in outdoors in the next few days! Something else to look forward to is that daylight saving begins on March 10th. I truly cannot wait! Anyway, this weekend wish list is full-on color! I am ready for summer and looking ahead to our Mexico trip. I figured I would share things that caught my eye for that trip since so many of you are headed on spring break soon! <br /></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div><b><i>Some items of note... </i></b></div><div>- Constantly repurchasing these <b><a href="https://tidd.ly/48vRT4F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hydrating and depuffing eye patches</a></b>, and right now, they are on major sale with code SUMMERWIND (it will truly give you the best discount- better than the code advertised on their site). Also adding <b><a href="https://tidd.ly/3OXOc0n" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these exfoliating pads</a></b>, and <b><a href="https://tidd.ly/48FX0iy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Augustinus Bader rich cream</a></b> to the cart to take advantage of the great sale. The AB cream is one of my faves and so pricey- with my code, it saves about $60 on the big one and $40ish on the smaller!</div><div><br /></div><div>- Just ordered these <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3P4oW93" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sandals</a></b>. Love the shiny/metallic looking thread woven throughout. I also love the heel height- comfortable and just enough to give you a little height. </div><div><br /></div><div>- This <a href="https://bit.ly/3Ijs39d" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Rainbow Pareo</a> is on my wish list for summer. I love the colors! </div><div><br /></div><div>- I can't get enough of the colors in this <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/4acvef1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maxi Dress</a></b>.</div><div><br /></div><div>- The prettiest <span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/49TzhMP" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Pink Dress</a>. It's one of those dresses you can throw on, add minimal accessories, and look chic and put together. I'm all about minimal effort in the warmer months. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>- Ordered these colorful <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/4316gN3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sneakers</a></b>. I feel like I've seen them everywhere. They are pricey but I get a ton of wear out of sneakers so I figured I would see what the hype is about. I can't imagine they're worth their sticker price, but I will report back. They are so cute- the colors are so fun. </div><div><br /></div><div>- Love these <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3wC6ZIw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lounge Shorts</a> </b>so much. They come in a pinkish/beige color that is out of stock. I'd love for that color to come back in stock- I think it would look so good with a simple white cropped tee for walks or errands in the summer. </div><div><br /></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>See last week's <a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/weekend-wish-list_02070049563.html" target="_blank">Weekend Wish List, here</a>!</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><b>For your weekend reading, here are blog posts you may have missed from this week:</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/americana-flag-sweater-ralph-lauren-vs.html" target="_blank">Flag Sweater Review: Tuckernuck and Ralph Lauren</a></b></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2022/02/castaner-espadrille-wedges-review.html" target="_blank">Castaner Espadrille Wedge Review</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/callie-cooks-weekday-work-lunch-ideas.html" target="_blank">Callie Cooks: Weekday Work Lunch Ideas</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/lately_29.html" target="_blank">Lately: sneak peek of my collection with Beth Ladd</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="font-style: normal;"><i><span>Are you </span><b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b><span>?!

Mine sped by as we were away Sunday- Tuesday skiing with family and friends at Holiday Valley which is a charming little resort in Ellicottville, New York! We have been many times. We went often growing up and then last year was the first year we had visited in a long while. We had so much fun we are trying to make it a yearly thing again. The skiing is SO much better there than Seven Springs and if you go on a weekday, you avoid crowds/lines. It's only 3.5 hours from Pittsburgh which is the best part! The conditions were really good Sunday and early Monday, but after that, it just got too warm and started to get slushy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3UPtT4fKd117RL-f053rjCsXCwHMX3FLoYlAE24KxRebmDJaJnUCnhNS-0lPfLRCCxnPTeGx8i7e94Yz0t1aU3jFc8cInOaH6jWbcOQGPdPA9tOkeYC0qtQiE4ZX59VknGJjujh84ap7j6Z82i75YyaOzsY32K5Ik92SLAOTg8R6R815qxm98JWrhH2u/s1923/IMG_5505.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1923" data-original-width="1221" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3UPtT4fKd117RL-f053rjCsXCwHMX3FLoYlAE24KxRebmDJaJnUCnhNS-0lPfLRCCxnPTeGx8i7e94Yz0t1aU3jFc8cInOaH6jWbcOQGPdPA9tOkeYC0qtQiE4ZX59VknGJjujh84ap7j6Z82i75YyaOzsY32K5Ik92SLAOTg8R6R815qxm98JWrhH2u/w406-h640/IMG_5505.jpg" width="406" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Sneak peeks of the sample photos!</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzd5cZfLHjmXcmaQm0FKCbzh02ClBG7H7h3xXp7_qWkP9hlxAxnV3OMF49pB8-cyYzbazozWtH79n7dWF3ol-FEV2iLU5EHNykGl970roVUELqz5rLQTf2uLcBUai-txTDg_D0fgJ0IWtH0dIz9UXShyphenhyphenwDrfZj5XJ_FJtIiIQ20FeWnGFgudn6xy3nS3td/s1932/IMG_5506.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="1290" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzd5cZfLHjmXcmaQm0FKCbzh02ClBG7H7h3xXp7_qWkP9hlxAxnV3OMF49pB8-cyYzbazozWtH79n7dWF3ol-FEV2iLU5EHNykGl970roVUELqz5rLQTf2uLcBUai-txTDg_D0fgJ0IWtH0dIz9UXShyphenhyphenwDrfZj5XJ_FJtIiIQ20FeWnGFgudn6xy3nS3td/w428-h640/IMG_5506.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div>I'm launching two products in collaboration with <b><a href="https://bit.ly/461NJRN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beth Ladd</a></b> in late March! I am so excited, albeit a bit nervous! I have been working with <b><a href="https://bit.ly/461NJRN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beth</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/piquedpr/" target="_blank">Patricia</a></b> behind the scenes on this, who are amazing, creative businesswomen. They really let me run with these designs, and Beth took my vision and made it a reality while Patricia has kept us on track. It's opened my eyes to how much work goes into one singular product. I just got updated sample photos in yesterday and I am so excited. I got samples in early February and made edits to get to where we are today! I hope to have the updated samples in my hands late next week. AH! They're all handmade, so they take 6 weeks to ship, so we are launching in time to order for Mother's Day as they are a really nice giftable item. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This week, I’m bringing you lunch ideas for work. I have a traditional 9-5 where I go into the office several times a week. It can be difficult to pack a healthy lunch that hits all your food groups and can be heated up or eaten cold. </div><div><br /></div><div>I got spoiled working from home for so long where my lunches were homemade when it was time to eat. I’ve had to update what I bring to lunch to be portable and recipes I don’t get tired of eating all week. I like to eat a lighter lunch and a bigger dinner so many of these meals are mostly veggies, protein, and a carb. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR8WagQ20WLwcb15ObFWhZ9odORgLKrB4en3_E6wDR0mPlNbNyrj5ctj76EEjwEj5wWsB1cC7sMhsD7ui6kW6jrDmKYngJhd2iDIPa5Z1ThiSxw9q5YWohxu9fx0rSUo6iWzmh1RYSYRJIk7gE14bVrs0djBIbSYYVTdZJGAmZ8dGyaf6Byrp_PrxAxKUS/s4032/IMG_6856.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR8WagQ20WLwcb15ObFWhZ9odORgLKrB4en3_E6wDR0mPlNbNyrj5ctj76EEjwEj5wWsB1cC7sMhsD7ui6kW6jrDmKYngJhd2iDIPa5Z1ThiSxw9q5YWohxu9fx0rSUo6iWzmh1RYSYRJIk7gE14bVrs0djBIbSYYVTdZJGAmZ8dGyaf6Byrp_PrxAxKUS/w480-h640/IMG_6856.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cold Lunch: Kale Salad</b></div><div>I really love salads. Not just because they are healthy but how versatile they are. You can top them with anything and get creative with the combinations. One of my favorites is this fall-inspired kale salad I look forward to eating.</div><div><br /></div><div>Salad Ingredients (I eyeball these to my liking):</div><div>- Massaged Kale (use salt and a bit of olive oil. A few drops go a long way)</div><div>- Roasted butternut squash </div><div>- Pepitas or pumpkin seeds</div><div>- Dried unsweetened cranberries </div><div>-Spiced pecans (you can use any kind of nut, but I like the spiced pecans from Trader Joe’s) </div><div>- Goat cheese </div><div><br /></div><div>Dressing (makes several servings to be stored in the fridge):</div><div>- ½ cup Olive oil</div><div>- ¼ cup Red wine vinegar</div><div>- 1 TBSP Dijon mustard </div><div>- 5 minced garlic cloves </div><div>- 1 finely chopped shallot </div><div>- Salt</div><div>- Pepper</div><div>- Honey to taste </div><div><br /></div><div>Note: You can choose to blend the dressing or not. It just depends on the consistency you like. You can also add quinoa or grilled chicken for a heartier meal.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggDe_YiaPtFG__pZn1eedWlTxbcAry6yVdY-iGDpZ_ynZ6o5SC48AkC9FORMlFrD3fiJN25OOFsaZus_aVZwJI96ZU61LNPDpIp5NHMJPk5595i5Ki7cs6nAEwIioMoPnDzQKqz8L1C2NAAKdo9r1ern-YBurdyQrO5xWO_Ga6p7D47UHgCQ1KhBhcupc7/s4032/IMG_4192.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggDe_YiaPtFG__pZn1eedWlTxbcAry6yVdY-iGDpZ_ynZ6o5SC48AkC9FORMlFrD3fiJN25OOFsaZus_aVZwJI96ZU61LNPDpIp5NHMJPk5595i5Ki7cs6nAEwIioMoPnDzQKqz8L1C2NAAKdo9r1ern-YBurdyQrO5xWO_Ga6p7D47UHgCQ1KhBhcupc7/w480-h640/IMG_4192.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Hot Lunch: Asian Beef and String Beans</b></div><div>I like this lunch a lot because it is so savory, and you can also pop the entire container in the microwave to be heated all at once. I love meals in bowls where everything gets stirred together. It makes things so easy and tasty. One thing about me is that I love Asian-inspired dishes. Anything I can add, chili oil or tamari, I am in. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div>- Fresh green beans (blanched and then seared in a sautée pan for color)</div><div>- Rice (I do 50/50 rice and cauliflower rice for this one)</div><div>- Ground beef (I use ground turkey when I want to be healthier)</div><div>- Scallion </div><div>- Sesame seeds </div><div><br /></div><div>Sauce (I eyeball this):</div><div>- Tamari (you can use soy. I use tamari since it is gluten-free)</div><div>- Sesame oil</div><div>- Honey </div><div>- Minced ginger</div><div>- Minced garlic </div><div><br /></div><div>Note: I absolutely love using the frozen rice from Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods that take 3 minutes to cook. I usually do 50/50 frozen rice and frozen cauliflower rice, and once they are combined, you can barely tell. </div><div><br /></div><div>Tip: If this is already too many steps for you, try using <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0GycezciAit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauces</a></b> in place of a homemade sauce. They make a gluten-free version that is SO good. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h2RxWXB20Eu_qnyWMI3YkfASfLVUbhUeRa_F_ZYE14_NTsyTsWlm-aB-Xnbhcia5Ab2D1b71o0GUrXWZysLsJNJbogtjkbz6kJg8nl_voW0nEneCs6hIiFxKOhAKYJPjjROZXTDVAAdzEY0jEcnpLtacRBs5r0owERwl-5CALeuPMVUCOr5o8f5mLTEt/s900/30C94B18-B18E-4034-8348-E145750317FD.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h2RxWXB20Eu_qnyWMI3YkfASfLVUbhUeRa_F_ZYE14_NTsyTsWlm-aB-Xnbhcia5Ab2D1b71o0GUrXWZysLsJNJbogtjkbz6kJg8nl_voW0nEneCs6hIiFxKOhAKYJPjjROZXTDVAAdzEY0jEcnpLtacRBs5r0owERwl-5CALeuPMVUCOr5o8f5mLTEt/w512-h640/30C94B18-B18E-4034-8348-E145750317FD.HEIC" width="512" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Easy Meal Prep: Tomato Soup </b></div><div>I love making soup in winter, and this one is SO easy. Everything goes in the oven then it is all blended in a blender. The extra step on the stovetop makes a difference and tastes like super smooth restaurant-quality tomato soup. I pair this with a cheese toast which you could swap for crackers when taking it to the office.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ingredients (this makes like 10-12 servings):</div><div>- Container of cherry tomatoes</div><div>- 4 Beefsteak tomatoes </div><div>- 4-6 Roma tomatoes or medium-sized tomatoes </div><div>- 1 Yellow onion </div><div>- 1 Red bell pepper</div><div>- 2 Heads of garlic </div><div>- 1 quart of chicken broth (I use bone broth for added protein)</div><div>- Balsamic </div><div>- Basil</div><div>- 2 tbsp butter</div><div>- 2 tbsp flour</div><div>- Milk to taste (any kind will do, but whole milk has a lovely rich taste)</div><div><br /></div><div>Directions:</div><div>1. Quarter large vegetables and arrange in a large baking dish (you may need to use two)</div><div>2. Heat at 450 for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender</div><div>3. Put all ingredients into blender — you will need to squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb into the blender</div><div>4. Add a splash of balsamic and a couple basil leaves and blend </div><div>5. In a pot on the stove add 2 tbsp of butter with 2 tbsp of flour </div><div>6. Then add in your quart of chicken broth </div><div>7. Stir in the blended veg into the bone broth</div><div>8. Add milk to your liking (about half a cup for me)</div><div>9. Add salt and pepper to taste </div><div><br /></div><div>Since packing and transporting your lunch to work can be a whole ordeal in and of itself, here are some of my favorite things to make meal prepping, storing, and transporting easier!</div><div><br /></div><div>- I love <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0gUOL2mkcod" target="_blank">this reusable bag brand</a></b>, but I especially love <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0gUOL2mkcod" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this small size</a></b> for nuts, vitamins, and other treats.</div><div><br /></div><div>- I am obsessed with this <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0Fpx7SjqCRe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">salad container</a></b>. There is plenty of room for lots of lettuce, and you still have space to give it a good shake to mix the dressing. The bowl is glass, which is important to me, but the lid is plastic.</div><div><br /></div><div>- Don’t make fun of me, but <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0nbOc6iZ7av" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this kid's snack container</a></b> is another thing I use constantly. I usually put chopped-up carrots or pretzels on the big side and use the other side for berries, chocolate, or a little Babybel cheese. It’s great for travel too and easy to clean. It’s plastic, which I don’t love, but it gets the job done. </div><div><br /></div><div>- I don’t love storing my food in the communal fridge, so I use <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0qZvYn0w8Zb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these ice packs</a></b> to keep my food cold until lunch. They work almost too well and store nicely in the freezer.</div><div><br /></div><div>- I love collecting reusable packaging for lunches; <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0yVW8f6Py4k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this set</a></b> is great. It's glass and is easy to clean. </div><div><br /></div><div>- Lastly, <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az0yZmBKxGE9E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these small glass bottles</a></b> are great for things like homemade juice shots or bringing homemade dressing to work!</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>More Callie Cooks Posts:</div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/01/callie-cooks-homemade-gifts.html" target="_blank">DIY Food Gifts</a></b></div></div><div>- <b><a href="https://summerwind41490.blogspot.com/2024/02/callie-cooks-valentines-dinner-ideas.html" target="_blank">Valentine's Dinner Ideas</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

They are easily some of my most worn shoes, maybe ever. They are SO comfortable. I love that theyy're casual but also somewhat dressy. They're a style of shoe that has been around for decades and never really goes in or out of style. Just a great classic. I think they look great with pants, dresses, skirts, and shorts!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifA_NphmON5UshY3unNbDiKGxEm7PEJuLqSuxIzJ4lDJNrxNEQYb-aegV7LoLqk4ATb1jVvFxyRxstw8oHmoNZv7Z8S8YLMN4ULCMalhjMasnhrrSUiHBaCLPo0bKrXYat1QL87xoVSnET6hgPQmQiUTE0MC_bU47_cYQYHpKmfXlWU0pTh6qMBHMeEAop/s4032/429AACC9-A89E-4315-A1F2-5291955F1993.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Castaner Espadrille Wedges Review" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2267" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifA_NphmON5UshY3unNbDiKGxEm7PEJuLqSuxIzJ4lDJNrxNEQYb-aegV7LoLqk4ATb1jVvFxyRxstw8oHmoNZv7Z8S8YLMN4ULCMalhjMasnhrrSUiHBaCLPo0bKrXYat1QL87xoVSnET6hgPQmQiUTE0MC_bU47_cYQYHpKmfXlWU0pTh6qMBHMeEAop/w360-h640/429AACC9-A89E-4315-A1F2-5291955F1993.jpeg" title="Castaner Espadrille Wedges Review" width="360" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdyn3SaTLmFr7mexcFdMkdu8px5PjtMs_j5mhjgHVCzbR81QkXsUYnxrITKzmjTH8YvlSC0FlZX3iwuaXc07OMXLYm6qO8iJ0B5DfCDjxI33nvSarjeaMuj8nAWiira667e0kO7Ydkx1HKa8fnA4DbG9LmL9fvfc_Wo0fpsurwpP5qL2iv5UaAx_bGsx2U/s2048/IMG_1929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1637" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdyn3SaTLmFr7mexcFdMkdu8px5PjtMs_j5mhjgHVCzbR81QkXsUYnxrITKzmjTH8YvlSC0FlZX3iwuaXc07OMXLYm6qO8iJ0B5DfCDjxI33nvSarjeaMuj8nAWiira667e0kO7Ydkx1HKa8fnA4DbG9LmL9fvfc_Wo0fpsurwpP5qL2iv5UaAx_bGsx2U/w512-h640/IMG_1929.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3s4AQES" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">White Platform Espadrilles</a> (also <a href="https://bit.ly/3OXTEAx" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">available here</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I more recently added these <a href="https://bit.ly/3s4AQES" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;" target="_blank">White Platform Espadrilles</a> to the mix and love them.

They are timeless and great for kids, men, grandparents... literally anyone and everyone. It's a staple I wear SO much, and I also wear it year-round. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have both the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/48vwiJv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tuckernuck</a></b> flag sweater and the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3T6IGLs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ralph Lauren</a></b> flag sweater. Many other brands also offer flag sweaters, but I will focus on these two since I own them both! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cost:</b></div><div>Tuckernuck: $248</div><div>Ralph Lauren: $398</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Materials:</b></div><div>Tuckernuck: 100% cotton</div><div>Ralph Lauren: 100% cotton</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sizing:</b></div><div>Tuckernuck: True to size, but you could size down for a closer fit. This has a roomy/boyfriend-style fit, but I love that.</div><div>Ralph Lauren: True to size, a slimmer, closer fit vs. Tucekrnuck. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Fit: </b></div><div>Tuckernuck: both the neckline and the sleeve hems are rolled, which is nice and adds to the casual vibe of the sweater. The neckline is between a crew and a mock neck. the length is a bit longer and more a-line than the Ralph Lauren sweater. </div><div>Ralph Lauren: This is a true, classic crewneck sweater that hits right at the hip and has a flattering, slimmer fit. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>My thoughts:</b></div><div>Tuckernuck: For being about $150 less, I prefer the Tuckernuck version, so I'd say if you are considering one or the other, the Tuckernuck is less costly but just as nice as the Ralph Lauren. If you prefer a more <b><a href="https://bit.ly/49NKU7V" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">classic crewneck style, Tuckernuck makes a version for $298</a></b>, which is still $100 less than the Ralph Lauren version. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ralph Lauren: I love this Ralph Lauren sweater. I've had this for over 10 years, which has held up perfectly. It is high quality and classic. I don't love the RL logo on the sweater; it's unnecessary. My husband has this one in navy, and it looks so handsome on him. </div><div><br /></div><div>The stars are embroidered on both, and nothing is printed on either. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Bottom Line:</b></div><div>You can't go wrong with either, but when it comes down to price, you can save $150 and go with the Tuckernuck option, and I think you'd be just as happy! </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Scroll below to see many outfits of how I have styled both sweaters over the years and seasons. </i></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They have a nice bit of stretch to them, and I feel like they suck me in in all of the right places but still so comfortable. <div><br /></div><div>Are you <b><a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/summerwind41490" target="_blank">following me on the LikeToKnowIt app</a></b>?!

We have them here in Pittsburgh at places like churches and fire halls and so many restaurants have a fish special on Fridays. We love St. Valentine's Fish Fry (I think that's the Bethel Park area). The fish is SO good and absolutely huge. I ate some for dinner and then again for lunch the next day. If you are local to Pittsburgh, do you have a fish fry recommendation? We also love the fish at Recon Brewery in South Fayette. It's insanely good. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu80oThqKozBBU_Lkp2G_r1lkymvwkFbBcj1XSOtHff8KQ4LEhuPebLTGttb5cJ2wDLw7sgfd90TeH3hFajOHMvc1Z6vtvHjOW3g9Oq5kLKAvO6nzFpcJ5IA5kaEc1eAsrFmCt08XzAWNlBKXTPp98LaQXXXD7h1TJU_vUMHThYCE4qkQvWvVq-gQUjGOW/s5712/IMG_4131%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu80oThqKozBBU_Lkp2G_r1lkymvwkFbBcj1XSOtHff8KQ4LEhuPebLTGttb5cJ2wDLw7sgfd90TeH3hFajOHMvc1Z6vtvHjOW3g9Oq5kLKAvO6nzFpcJ5IA5kaEc1eAsrFmCt08XzAWNlBKXTPp98LaQXXXD7h1TJU_vUMHThYCE4qkQvWvVq-gQUjGOW/w480-h640/IMG_4131%202.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div><b>Drinking:</b> If you're looking for a little treat, try the espresso con panna at Starbucks.

I binged all 6 episodes in about 2 days. I don't normally go to bed late, but I stayed up LATE to keep watching, and the next day, I was so tired. I haven't been that tired in ages! So I took a nap with my pup, and look how cute he is! Anyway, more episodes came out last night, and I started watching, but only a few came out, so I couldn't stay up binging (I would have if I could have, ha!!) You should watch it if you are looking for something to watch. It's a WILD reality dating show, but I feel like this season is the best yet. I'm counting down the days until more episodes come out next week. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMHISvnWGcl6HCwnt8pS14WxYjNrS3MIPt32mhYy1yLq3yeUINhcgIpXkw9Djzmp7fonC8VyPhRzg7F2ympAZzjLSMsbnA6bfeT3XprY7JV8w1a-hOTWoYsptAxUk_eF9r9r-fJcEsLyGxTFtn5gwKZx0_HGEiZFEouXJLrg6_qeUsLWkh-9lFr11ayPL/s5369/IMG_5042_VSCO.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5369" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMHISvnWGcl6HCwnt8pS14WxYjNrS3MIPt32mhYy1yLq3yeUINhcgIpXkw9Djzmp7fonC8VyPhRzg7F2ympAZzjLSMsbnA6bfeT3XprY7JV8w1a-hOTWoYsptAxUk_eF9r9r-fJcEsLyGxTFtn5gwKZx0_HGEiZFEouXJLrg6_qeUsLWkh-9lFr11ayPL/s320/IMG_5042_VSCO.JPG" width="255" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMM_rp4fKH5ZHlmfjkWGoA5_UsvC0fslmfCGySzhvuqT5YCAZPRklw4X_9boNgKeE-giF7P7lHY2rCc_PW1y34Az49kBxM3N0aXaJ3QwXLimY2tI68ik1EaXp8JeAGHF_5borbKLE_zvwuXLA3iGXJad9o2EY43idPQ2un2HzU3ie1xIAy_7XOfNdTH1D/s5068/IMG_5038_VSCO.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5068" data-original-width="4045" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMM_rp4fKH5ZHlmfjkWGoA5_UsvC0fslmfCGySzhvuqT5YCAZPRklw4X_9boNgKeE-giF7P7lHY2rCc_PW1y34Az49kBxM3N0aXaJ3QwXLimY2tI68ik1EaXp8JeAGHF_5borbKLE_zvwuXLA3iGXJad9o2EY43idPQ2un2HzU3ie1xIAy_7XOfNdTH1D/s320/IMG_5038_VSCO.JPG" width="255" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj18abP_yIq75bPqHv7SSdE4UKYFq4Fz62Yg_bbZa8T2NcOUE50S6hBb7c6T-53TQoI9oygAXnr71XKwz5LiTXGdX02jNwzr4DsJuTkxPhsV_PSUpnyoM2QhXbHKBaaChhrdywXdocTdTpX83XmecM0JyX4LthRIHVu5sDzY1RXL6s2Cmxb_-88v7s4w61V/s3199/IMG_4750_VSCO.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3199" data-original-width="2435" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj18abP_yIq75bPqHv7SSdE4UKYFq4Fz62Yg_bbZa8T2NcOUE50S6hBb7c6T-53TQoI9oygAXnr71XKwz5LiTXGdX02jNwzr4DsJuTkxPhsV_PSUpnyoM2QhXbHKBaaChhrdywXdocTdTpX83XmecM0JyX4LthRIHVu5sDzY1RXL6s2Cmxb_-88v7s4w61V/w488-h640/IMG_4750_VSCO.JPG" width="488" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://howl.me/clGuFFMUtSb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slippers</a></b> (<b><a href="https://howl.me/clGuIxv2t2e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this pair</a></b> is on major sale)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Loving: </b>It was about time to get new slippers.

We went to Melfi's, one of our all-time favorite Italian spots in Charleston. The stretch Armstrong pizza is a *must*. This tweed dress is fantastic. Such high quality, full lined with thoughtful details. It runs true to size. I feel so ladylike and polished when I wear it. It also comes in navy blue! </i></div><div><br /></div><div>Social media can serve all sorts of different purposes for each user. It is quite literally my job, but I also use it as a form of entertainment, inspiration, and connecting with others who share my interests. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sometimes, it can be hard not to compare myself to what I see on social media. Over the years, I've worked hard to not let that bother me. It's taken hard work, but I have gotten good at separating myself from social media vs. reality. But for some people, it can be a more significant struggle and a more common issue for younger women in high school and college. Honestly, I cannot imagine having today's social media and being a teen. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recently received a flattering and kind DM complimenting my skin. She asked how I get my skin to look like it does. Wow, that was so nice!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>I was flattered that this person thought I had nice skin. I do work hard to have my skin the way it is. I am regimented about my skincare routine. I never skip a day, always remove my makeup, and give myself makeup-free days. So, it was nice to hear that. I mean it is always nice to receive a kind compliment, right?!</div><div><br /></div><div>While I don't use filters when I share or discuss beauty/skincare products, the camera is not showing you those fine lines I can see when I look in the magnifying mirror every morning as I apply my makeup or the crazy zit that shows up overnight or the crazy dark circles under my eyes that I cannot seem to get rid of no matter what I do! You don't get the complete picture on social media. I always remind myself of this, and it can be a helpful reminder if you are ever feeling down on yourself because you are playing the comparison game. </div><div><br /></div><div>There's a quote by Jon Acuff that says, “Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle, or your middle to someone else's end. Don't compare the start of your second quarter of life to someone else's third quarter.”</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know the person who messaged me about my skin. I don't know their age, where they live, or any of their life details. I also don't know that she was comparing her skin to mine, but maybe she was just giving me a lovely compliment instead. But it would be silly of her to compare herself to me if she is older than me, right? I am on TikTok a decent amount, and every once in a while, I think, wow, her skin is perfect; she is so thin and fit, and I have to remind myself that many of these girls are over 10 years younger than I am! </div><div><br /></div><div>Regardless of age, it's silly to compare things like skin, hair, leg length, etc, because of genetics, right? My parents have always looked young for their age! Everyone in this world comes from different circumstances. It is like a fingerprint; no two are the same. Comparing yourself to someone else, while sometimes comforting, more often causes feelings of inadequacy. </div><div><br /></div><div>'Comparison is the thief of joy' could not be more accurate! </div><div><br /></div><div>So when you see someone else's life on social media, and there is an aspect where you find yourself comparing and causing you to feel less than others, I urge you to remember that the only person worth comparing yourself to is yourself! </div><div><br /></div><div>This is a lesson I learned at Orange Theory. In the classes, they don't have you competing against others. Instead, you compete against yourself. Because what good would it do if I was racing the 25-year-old guy next to me? I'd likely have no chance, and even if I was next to a woman my age, she could be training for a marathon and running daily. I don't.</div><div><br /></div><div>We all know this. We all get it. But with the prevalence of social media in our daily lives, it's worth the occasional reminder. We are all unique in our own ways, and I love that! </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

There are SO many good things in this sale and some of the prices are <i>really</i> good, deeply discounted. I am a <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3O5RUE3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lake Pajamas</a></b> fanatic. Ask anyone in my family- I am hard to shop for, and they have all gifted me sets for holidays and birthdays. I have also given many family members and friends sets! For my wedding, I gave my mom, sister, and me matching robes to get ready in (seen above). I recently got my aunt a robe for her birthday and gifted one of my girlfriends a set and a robe for her bachelorette. I got my 97-year-old Grammie a robe recently, too, because I knew she would love it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My husband recently became a fan of the brand after stopping into their store on King Street in Charleston this past spring and buying <a href="https://bit.ly/3rx0DYf" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">his first set</a>. He doesn't really wear pajamas, but he loves this short-sleeved/shorts combo for lounging! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This post is not sponsored, but Lake has generously sent me pajamas throughout the years. Though I also might be one of their best-paying customers- I wish I could buy stock in the company, ha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I really like the <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3QMfaYZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kimono set</a></b> for a more stylish set of pajamas to wear to something like a pajama party theme. For example, I just went on a bachelorette in May, and this was the perfect thing to wear in the evening with everyone else as we were relaxing before bed. The tie in the front does not bother me at all when sleeping, and the fabric has a slinkier drape and stretchy to it. I wouldn't personally buy many sets of this because, day-to-day I prefer the Pima short-long, but I like to travel with the Kimono set and think the kimono set makes a great gift. I also think the Kimono set feels more youthful and stylish so a good option for those who may not like the look of Lake's signature set.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wearing a medium, it's comfortably roomy. This set doesn't shrink like the Pima does. For a more tailored look, get your true size. For example, if I wore these pajamas the morning of my wedding, I would have gotten a size small. These are the pajamas that my mom, sister, and I wore on Christmas Eve into Christmas! The fabric is so silky smooth and stretchier than the Pima! These were gifted to us by Lake!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTvTFcp9VEYqNJqqSosDSPKvjzsNhVkRmBfBlcZ3npKmU9WSujbKx7mdvuXU64seXxZAqDsVYAwU2QlbpWd6ebaRLBZD3rWbRWz7J6FBdpP2aP5RWfjz9PlmdEdTrusmVxNnjtF14woX0yE1KKzmI0uyCNSlJVr64seLMrV4FBlCkJWmU_axIytJ3JKwF/s2048/lake%20pajamas%20holiday%202022-6.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<b><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: 400;"><b>If I'm a Lake first-timer and am only buying one thing, what should it be?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don't think you can go wrong, but I'd say the </span><a href="https://bit.ly/48rW0yq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Relax set</a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">(there is a</span> <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3wnD86r" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">short set</a></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is incredible, but I don't love the color on sale). I say this because I think it's the most versatile style from Lake (both the shorts and the long pants) because you could wear this walking your dog- it is more of a lounge-looking set than pajamas. But I wear them as pajamas, too. The Relax set is in the most perfect fabric. It's kind of stretchy, like a jersey knit, but the interior is slightly terry-ish. It's hard to explain, but it is incredible. I have paid full price for relaxed sets- they're that good. Otherwise, I'd go for the </span><b><a href="https://bit.ly/49jnwj7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">short-long Pima set</a></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is what I wear year-round and have the most of. The Pima fabric is so breathable and classic and soft. It's iconic and a best-seller for Lake for a reason. My second choice would be either the </span><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3uDhVVG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pima</a></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or the </span><b><a href="https://bit.ly/3DkTOLZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cozy</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">robe, depending on what type of climate you live in. I would say I wear each robe for half of the year! </span></div></div><div><b><br /></b></div>How thick is the Pima? Are they too hot for summer? Is the fabric see-through?</b><br />
<div>
They are thick in that they feel like a quality set of pajamas. But they are lightweight, so you can easily wear the short-short set in the summer or if you get hot at night. I even wear the short sleeve top and long-pants bottoms during summer and am fine. Cotton is breathable and the perfect fabric for sleeping. You could wear the long-long to bed in the winter if you get cold, which is great! In the winter, if I'm wearing them to lounge, I might wear a sweatshirt and slippers or a <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3DkTOLZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robe</a></b> overtop for warmth, but I wouldn't want to wear much heavier pajamas. The fabric is not at all see-through.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4w4hcjufRFYFCpIWaM6qj8cqYtRY7wTYYY2Mm4AxzWmXvKYEperpLXIlaeP1oO9EIPvhBLDsnerpHHEtzlAcMMar1JAIz2y8Hsb5li6rugsaQWfjq5eCnfhWgtff3hr_oOXUm5at9Ef2KqCq9G1ZLOpLIsJdEMJ-Hyh46txjMgwpotoDuUm2DKV20Gea/s2048/IMG_6385.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4w4hcjufRFYFCpIWaM6qj8cqYtRY7wTYYY2Mm4AxzWmXvKYEperpLXIlaeP1oO9EIPvhBLDsnerpHHEtzlAcMMar1JAIz2y8Hsb5li6rugsaQWfjq5eCnfhWgtff3hr_oOXUm5at9Ef2KqCq9G1ZLOpLIsJdEMJ-Hyh46txjMgwpotoDuUm2DKV20Gea/w480-h640/IMG_6385.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://bit.ly/46jvqGU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hammock Style</a></b> </div><div>
<div>
<b>Are they worth the cost?</b></div>
<div>
Something being 'expensive' is very subjective. I love pajamas and only wear nice, matching sets to bed. So $75-$150 for a set of pajamas is the going rate at places like Shopbop, Nordstrom, etc. Of course, you can also find great pajamas at places like Gap and Target for $20-$30. It all depends on how you shop and what you like to wear to bed. I know many wear men's boxer shorts and old sorority t-shirts to bed, and that's fine, too! Whatever you feel most comfortable in is the most important thing!</div><div><br /></div><div>

<div>
<b>Have you tried the dresses?</b></div>
<div>Yes! I have <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3K2pWYL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one pima nightgown</a></b> that I don't really sleep in but like to wear as you would a robe- getting ready, lounging, etc. If you are tight on suitcase space, something like this takes a lot less space than an actual robe. Otherwise, if I am wearing a nightgown, I prefer a silky/lacy one that Lake doesn't offer (like <b><a href="https://bit.ly/47FG0J4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this</a></b>) - Anthro usually has a great selection. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've also tried their dresses that you could wear to sleep and wear out and about. I have <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3XW8uL0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this dress</a></b> and love it. It's so comfortable, adorable, and easy to wear when it's hot outside. It's so well made and pretty that I don't know if I could bring myself to wear it to bed! I also like to wear it as a swimsuit coverup. It runs true to size if not roomy. I size up in their pajamas but not in the dresses as they run generously, and I don't dry them! You could even size down if your size is sold out in your true size. </div><div><br /></div><div>I most recently got <b><a href="https://bit.ly/46jvqGU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this dress</a></b>, and it's so beautifully made. I've been wearing it to get ready, but I will wear it as a dress with sandals out and about in the warmer months. This runs very generously. I would just LOVE it if they made it in a blue-and-white stripe or a short-sleeved option. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also love <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3O3u63C" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this striped button-down caftan</a></b>. I wear it as a swimsuit coverup. The fit is SO cute and flattering.</div><div><br /></div>
<div>
<b>Do you have a favorite style in the Pima?</b></div>
<div>
Yes! I love the <b><a href="https://bit.ly/2LV6Jx8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">short-long</a></b> (which is a short-sleeved top and long pants). I think choosing a style is a personal preference. I wear short-long year-round, and I think they are more modest than the shorts if you are wearing them around other people (like in a vacation setting or something because the shorts are kind of short). </div><div><br /></div>
<div>
<b>How do you wash them? Can you dry them?</b></div>
<div>The washing instructions on their site are very high maintenance, and I don't follow them. I wash mine inside out in a regular load with everything else; I just try to avoid doing them with anything that could snag the fabric. I use hot water and then dry on low (drying on LOW is key). See below, where I talk about fit, to learn more about what happens when you wash them! I saw someone ask about the colors fading; I can't speak to that because I have not noticed colors fading at all. I would imagine if that is an issue, washing on cold with delicate items and laying dry like the Lake website suggests would be the way to make sure that fading doesn't happen.</div>

<div>
<b>How do they wear after they are washed? Do they hold up after a lot of wear? Do they stay soft?</b></div>
<div>
They're SO soft, and the best part is that they continue to be SO soft wash after wash. I've had pairs for years and wear them weekly, and they're just about as good as new. I also like that the Pima sets don't get wrinkly out of the wash. I still have my first pair of Lakes that I got over 8 years ago! </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>What is Pima Cotton, and how is it different from any other cotton?</b></div><div>If buying quality items for your wardrobe is essential to you, it's vital to know your fabrics and fibers. Do a little research or a Google search of the fabric the next time you consider purchasing an item. Regardless of brand, the type of fabric used in a garment is always a great way to judge something without seeing it in person, as well as knowing how well it will hold up and/or if it will do things like wrinkle or shrink. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pima cotton is known as 'nicer' cotton. Pima is used in many infant clothing brands because it's soft, smooth, durable, and wrinkle-resistant. Did you know it is best to sleep in cotton? This is because it is breathable and keeps you cool. You should avoid synthetic materials- things like Polyester when you sleep because they tend to trap moisture and heat. If you get overheated at night, 100% cotton pajamas might be your answer.

I do love <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3T3sVF1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the weekend set</a>,</b> which is a true long-sleeved crewneck top and shorts (or pants, but I prefer the shorts set in the weekend style). The weekend style has a traditional high crewneck and does not have the contrast piping. The weekend set is a little slimmer in the fit- not tight by any means, but it looks a little more 'tailored'. </div><div><br /></div>

<div>
<b>How would you say they run in terms of sizing? Length? Are they fitted? </b></div>
<div>
Lake Pajamas are not meant to be fitted. They are not exceptionally stylish and definitely not sexy, in my opinion. They are intended to be looser and more comfortable. I would say the sizing is true to size, and if anything, size up (keep reading...) I have both sizes, small and medium. I typically buy my pajamas a size up from my usual clothing size as I like them roomy. They are true to size with Lake, but if you buy your true size, I suggest following the high-maintenance care instructions. This is because anything 100% cotton will shrink if you machine-dry it! I personally find that they shrink more in length than anything else. So if you buy a small and they fit, they're not going to get 'tighter' on you after machine drying, but the length will most likely shorten. You can combat the shrinkage in the dryer by drying the pajamas on 'low'- they will still shrink, but not as much. But if you dry on low, you have to <i>always</i> dry on low for the life of the pajamas (which is what I do). The second you put them on high heat to dry, they will shrink the most. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have purchased the tall sets (pants) several times. As the name suggests, the tall sets are made for taller people, so the lengths are longer. I am only 5'6", so when the pajamas arrive, they're very long on me- like too long; it would be dangerous to wear them because they would cause me to trip. However, they're the perfect length for one round through the washer and dryer (on high heat with the rest of my clothing). The first machine dry does the shrinking; after that, they won't shrink further. I wouldn't recommend a tall set for anyone shorter than 5'6" as they might be too long on you (even after drying), and you're likely to trip. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before machine drying, the regular length (in size small) is great for me at 5'6"- if you dry them, they'll likely be a great length for someone 5'4ish and under. I machine-dry all of mine, so the regular pants are ankle-length on me once dried. I don't particularly mind it, but I do l like the tall sets!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have also gotten mediums (sizes sell out, so I get whatever they have, small or medium), and they are quite roomy on me at first, but once I put them through the dryer, they shrink right up and are closer in size to a small. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have a few short sets which I only wear in the summertime. I find them to be short, so I only wear them at home, not when traveling, and would potentially be around others in my pajamas. </div><div><br /></div>
<div>
They're honestly not as high maintenance as they sound! </div>

We will try to stay put for March, and then April is when we head off to Mexico with so many family and friends for a wedding. Then we are turning it into a vacation with everyone pre- and post-wedding!

It was called the Tomato and I was so unsure what I was ordering before it arrived. I assumed it would be more like a Bloody Mary, but no! It is hard to describe the taste but it is so lightly flavored by a tomato, I couldn't figure out how they got that flavor so I asked the bartender. He said that they lightly muddled one grape tomato. I would never have thought to muddle a tomato in my cocktail, but it just works. The savory pepperoncini and cracked pepper are perfectly balanced out by the brightness of the lemon. It was such a treat and I am totally going to try and recreate this at home. I'm thinking 'pepperoncini shrub' is just a fancy way to say 'pepperoncini brine'- maybe they add a little sugar? I will report back if I ever perfect this at home. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Reading:</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Sale:</b> <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3HUDunI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This Emilia Wickstead dress</a></b> is stunning, and I can't get over the sale price! <b><a href="https://howl.me/clCWn9IplWO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New items were added to the TB sale</a></b>! </div><div><b><br />Watching:</b> On one of our flights, I watched a Netflix documentary called Lover, Stalker, Killer, and it's about as crazy as it sounds.

The ounces are different on so many sites that sell this mug, so I was always left confused. I finally saw them in person at the most beautiful boutique in Charleston called 'The Boutique, ' filled with exquisite china and linens. There was so much eye candy my husband had to drag me out! Anyway, to my pleasant surprise, the mugs are big! So I want to start collecting them. I will get either the blue or the pink first, but over the years, I would love to collect all of the colors. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhII2Cy75JxyZ7wgjfA9OGO5-B2UASFr00rI-nm1glRS7cGNQeY0ZTCY2bSZJXCrv4XSs8BqMWVSye3mGW5UnSa4p0pylF90t019Cv7hSy92Z3ppgURIK4Lu8kPkc4pBJWicoVesdE56fP-hVQKg32CGcoCJcxPK5UoGXyL5k1mPVqC7FbsyTJpxhQsw_Ne/s4032/IMG_3907_VSCO.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhII2Cy75JxyZ7wgjfA9OGO5-B2UASFr00rI-nm1glRS7cGNQeY0ZTCY2bSZJXCrv4XSs8BqMWVSye3mGW5UnSa4p0pylF90t019Cv7hSy92Z3ppgURIK4Lu8kPkc4pBJWicoVesdE56fP-hVQKg32CGcoCJcxPK5UoGXyL5k1mPVqC7FbsyTJpxhQsw_Ne/w480-h640/IMG_3907_VSCO.JPG" width="480" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://howl.me/clCWEvvvLih" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Acne Clearing Gel</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">use code SYDNEY for 15% off</div><div><b>Loving II:</b> I got a zit while traveling to Charleston and realized I did not have my beloved <b><a href="https://amzlink.to/az00KKK7V2ALy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mario Badescu drying lotion</a></b>.

My husband says he uses it like a toner and applies it all over his face as he has very acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Did anyone else heavily favor specific pieces of clothing when they were children? </div><div><br /></div><div>I vividly remember *loving* a yellow Power Rangers nightgown that would glow in the dark. I also loved 'board shorts'; does anyone else remember those?! I was obsessed with a pink seersucker watermelon dress where the collar was like a giant applique watermelon. I lived for the 'cheer' shorts from Limited Too, which my mom would so lovingly call 'Limited Quality.'I had a teal cami from Limited Too that had sparkles embedded in it, and I would wear it with the cheer shorts. I had a pair of Gap Kids tie-dye-ish flare jeans that I thought were the fanciest and most sophisticated thing I owned, and I always liked to pair them with my pastel yellow striped Adidas superstar sneakers. I also remember stirrup pants with matching skirts on them- maybe Gymboree? My sister and I would match often, and we had fruit-printed overalls from the Children's Place that we wore probably too much. We also wore a lot of Talbots Kids, specifically the velvet pants and their long sleeve tops that had like a little bow or rosette at the neck. Oh, and Hartstrings! Do you all remember that one?! My sister and I did *not* like Harstrings because it was too fancy and not what everyone else was wearing. I had a patent leather Scotty dog purse that I would carry with my tartan dresses around the holidays, which I thought was so chic. I could go on and on! </div><div><br /></div><div>I must hand it to my mom for allowing us to dress as we wanted (within reason) because some of my outfits were just... awful. She was also spot on with the nickname, Limited Quality, ha! Part of me thinks I remember all of these so well because I've always been into fashion, but another part is that I favored certain things as a child! </div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe this is a Millennial thing, as the '90s were so denim-focused, but I will always gravitate toward a denim dress! I've collected quite a few over the years. I love that they look great with sneakers, flats, wedges, boots, etc. They're polished but casual at the same time. </div><div><br /></div><div>Most recently, I wore <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3I46Qji" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this denim dress</a></b> while we were in Charleston. I was torn on how to dress in a warmer climate, but it was still winter. It would be a high of 70, so I knew I'd definitely want to wear a dress, but I also didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb in a summer outfit! The denim dress was perfect. The sleeves were necessary because it was chilly in the shade, and the thicker fabric also kept me warm. I love the straight cut of the dress and the pullover style. The quality is great, especially for the under $150 price tag. It runs true to size and I am wearing a size small. I'm 5'6" and would recommend this length for my height or shorter. I think it would become too short if you were any taller! This will be something I will wear a ton here in Pittsburgh in April, May, and September, October! </div><div><br /></div><div>For other denim dresses, I also love <b><a href="https://bit.ly/49gvM3e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one</a></b>, <b><a href="https://bit.ly/42GpyHs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one</a></b>, and <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3OGPKMl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one</a></b>. </div><div><br /></div><div>I paired the dress with these <b><a href="https://howl.me/clC6s9OriL9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">white sneakers</a>,</b> which have become a favorite of mine. If you have an upcoming trip where you will be doing a lot of walking, definitely consider these. They have a nice cushioned footbed with good arch support. I swear I have the highest arches, so anything overly flat hurts my feet if I'm walking 10k+ steps. My favorite part, though, is the cut around the ankle. They are so flattering. I also love the rubber toe as it adds a nice design touch but is also very functional. I have never gotten a blister in them, and there was no break-in period!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
