NORDSTROM GIFT GUIDES- GIFTS AT EVERY PRICE

You guys I got a new travel uniform! 🙌🏾 Last time it was a shacket but I traded that for a recent favorite, and it was perfect!

A long coat light enough for comfort, large enough for layering and just weighty enough for Fall.

Swipe👉🏾 to get to Chicago ✈️ and back to Cincy. Also very proud of myself for not checking a bag!! 🙌🏾 PS -travel hack: if you travel more than 5 times a year, get BOTH CLEAR and precheck. Have you tried them? I’ve had them both for years and together they make you feel like you’ve got superpowers. You’re welcome!

Welp. The pumpkins are trashed but at least lug soles aren’t. 😂 Tomorrow I’m sharing multiple ways to wear these boots - so versatile and the PERFECT staple for Fall! #boots #lugsole #falloutfits

Updated dining! This side of my home is pretty dark (north facing) and since my floors are dark, I switched out my table and chairs for these lighter ones! I added a rug to brighten and finish out the dining space. Perfect for gathering family and friends this season, and of course, since everything’s from @target, it’s all at a budget. I love it and can’t wait to have people over this Fall! Shop in my stories :) #ad #Ichoose

Here it is! The Fall porch update - Love it so much! I started with the wreath (when I was pretending it was Fall) and now I’ve added accessories - all from @target! Loveeee the layered door mats, pillows, and faux plants that I added to my existing Target lanterns, planter and plant table.

Thank you @target for always giving us budget friendly home items to create a warm welcome.

Everything is linked in stories! Including this sweater which is also from @target, of course! #Ichoose #ad

Designing our homes for Fall is a whole mood, righ

Designing our homes for Fall is a whole mood, right? I get so excited when I think of warm colors, earthy textures, sweet and spicy scents, and the crackling sounds of a fireplace.

Right now I’m rounding out the Fall mood with candles from @woodwick -like this one in Pumpkin Butter- sweet buttery notes with warm spices - perfection.

It’s the vanilla for me! Scent is how I finish getting ready. A warm, enveloping, yet light scent to get my day started gives me life! Recently I’ve been trying clean fragrances from Sephora and I am loving Vanilla Sky Eau de Toilette by @Skylar so much!

It’s been the perfect way to top off my morning beauty routine, minus ingredients I might not love. This is a warm gourmand fragrance with notes of caramelized cedar, vanilla and cappuccino. It’s at @sephora- Head to my stories to see more, or shop from the link in my bio! #ad #SephoraSquad

Emergency girls trip, and you guys, I found my new travel uniform 🙌🏾 seriously- Shacket, tank, faux leather leggings with no seam on the bottom (that’s a game changer), sneakers, hat and a slathering of rich moisturizer. When you travel what are you wearing? Do you switch it up, because I don’t think I’ll wear anything else again. 😂

“What a time to be alive!” In a w

“What a time to be alive!”

In a world where everything kinda looks like a dumpster fire, over the weekend I overheard one of my adult sons sincerely declare this to his brothers. He said it with heart. And a giant smile on his face. It wasn’t anything major. He was simply talking about two new albums that were recently released.

It gave me pause. I thought about all of the things I can find to complain about.

Lately I’ve noticed I have fallen into the habit of seeing all that’s wrong.

As valid my complaints might be, in the middle of it all, there’s still good. There’s still something I can be grateful for.

Maybe it’s good music. It might be that I am healthy enough to move. Definitely family. Or that I got a good night’s sleep. Sometimes it’s clean water. Or just being able to go outside. Maybe it’s that my faith is settled, and my position in the Kingdom secured. And it’s ALWAYS coffee. What’s your something?

At the very least, look up. It ain’t over yet. You and I are still breathing.

What a time to be alive.
