Weekend wardrobe

Onto a new month! I’m so excited for March. We have the first day of spring, and daylight saving begins! It truly starts to feel like spring is on the way when that arrives. That means I can start to switch over my wardrobe from bulky sweaters and winter boots to cute flats and cozy cardigans! For this outfit though, even with snow still on the ground, I couldn’t wait to bust out a few new things… including this adorable cross body bag from Radley. Obviously I gravitated toward this purse for the gorgeous cognac color (it goes with everything in my closet) but I also love the smaller size for when I don’t need to carry as much to work. It’s perfect for my weekend wardrobe!

End of February

Onto the end of February... finally! I hate to wish time away, especially a slow season in life where you can use the weather as an excuse to stay in your pajamas and binge-watch Netflix all day, but I'm definitely ready for spring. The last couple of days it's been in the 50s, and it's honestly felt so amazing. You step outside and you're not just totally frigid to the bone. Last weekend, it was still pretty gray, but warm enough to finally shoot an outfit post without a winter jacket! I'm still gravitating toward turtlenecks and tights though, but that's what I love about transitional seasons. You can mix it up a little bit!

Achieving stronger and healthier hair

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of L’Oréal® Paris Elvive. The opinions and text are all mine.

I don’t know about you guys… but winter has definitely taken a toll on my hair this year! I’ve noticed more split ends and I’ve been wearing my hair in more buns than ever because of static electricity. Plus, I’ve been too nervous to put any added stress on my hair with heat styling, so most days lately, I haven’t been styling my hair in fear of making matters worse. So I’m trying out the L’Oréal® Paris Elvive’s line to help my hair feel stronger and healthier, and provide my hair some support against heat damage. I saw results (especially with dryness) after 1 use… and I feel more confident now curling my hair knowing this product protects up to 450-degree heat!

All-Natural Food for Winny

In an attempt to prepare healthy meals every night for Eric and I… I realized Winny should be part of that! Winny is a super healthy pup, but we’ve never been super picky on her food. When I learned more about Freshpet and their all-natural, real, pet food, I knew we had to give it a try! So far, she loves it, and we’ve had no issues with switching over! (We’ve had issues in the past with trying to switch to other foods, so this is a win.) She gets more excited about dinnertime than ever (I would too vs. the hard kibble!) and I’m excited about giving her a natural option.

Winter blahs

Why am I standing in front of a dirty snow pile? Why has my hair lost its curls? Why is this outfit just "ok"? I'm going to blame all of it on the winter blahs. I know, I know... I do love winter. But when it gets to this part of the year... where it's just so gross, gray and dirty outside,  and it's dragged on for too long, that's when I'm ready to see a change. I know us Michiganders can't expect to see hints of spring until the end of March, but man I am ready! February, you were cool and all, and thanks for going by relatively quickly... but let's just speed this last week up, okay? I'm ready for March, and spring!

Winter pathway

Are you hanging in there? Surviving winter?! I'm definitely trying my best! February at least provides some relief here in Michigan with slightly longer days, prettier sunsets, and we've been blessed with a fresh blanket of white snow... which never hurts! February to me is... small hints of spring, ignoring that silly groundhog, filing our taxes, and celebrating Valentine's Day. Eric and I have grand plans tomorrow of homemade cauliflower crust heart-shaped pizzas with ice-cream sundaes. I already celebrated with my gals for Galentine's Day with fancy drinks and dinner out on Saturday, which was so much fun! What are you doing to celebrate?
