What I'm Loving no. 12

Sharing a picture from vacation because spending the first two weeks of the year in FL was one of my faves! How is it the END of January?! ( I definitely almost wrote end of February, and was like girl pump the brakes 😂.) The end of the month does mean another edition of my favorites! I love writing these kinds of posts, and watching favorites videos on YouTube. Anyone else relate?  Yeti Tumbler  // My mom wanted this for some holiday last year, but always forgets to use it! I decided that I would make good use out of it, and gifted it to me, haha. And, I LOVE it!! One of my goals is to not use single-use coffee cups this year. If I am going out and about I make sure to have this with me if I feel I will want a little pick me up! The tumbler keeps the coffee warm all day, too so it has been nice to have something warm while I am back in the tundra of MN for a bit!

2020 Intentions

Welcome back to PWP! I took a bit of an unexpected break due to an extended vacation, but am getting back at it! I felt like a great "first" post back in the new year would be to chat about some goals, but notice how I did not title this 2020 goals/resolutions. I used the word Intentions because it has a better connotation to me; it feels less pressured and less negative. I am all about creating a happy mind and physical space, so saying intentions cast a better light on things I want to accomplish! 1. Sustainability- Last year, I really focused on not buying plastic water bottles, and being better about reusable straws and bags. I feel like I was successful here, so I want to continue doing this, and add to not use single use coffee cups; I have already been killing this one, this month, and have gone out for coffee many times, and always had my own mug!! Other things I have thoughts about to better sustainability: make less waste, use less paper towels, use less...

What I'm packing for Florida

I am on my way to Florida right now! We go south every winter. It used to be over the holidays, but last year we went after New Year's, and like how it was less crazy/busy, so we are doing the same thing this year! We have been going to Florida for the Holidays for a very long time; it has to be over 10 years. This is my favorite holiday tradition my family has. I almost start to crave sunshine at this time of year because I know the trip is coming. Here is (mostly) what I am bringing with this year. I didn't even realize, but I started to pack with a theme: blue and white (with accents of pink!). Of course! I find that sticking to a color scheme makes mixing and matching easier, and can help you pack lighter (help being the key word, lol). Happy new year, and as always, #dontforgetyourpearls

What I'm Loving no. 11: 2019 Favorites!!!

I have been having a great little break relaxing and hanging with the fam (that's why there has been a bit of a radio silence over her)! The holiday was great, and I got the fam to wear two different matching plaid outfits #goals! (LOL) It has been over one month since my last What I'm Loving....whoops, looks like I missed November! Thats ok because it was kind of a crazy month for me, just as this month as been. It is also almost the end of the year. So instead of combined November/December favorites, I am going to share my top 10 favorites of 2019! I obviously have way more than 10 favorites from 2019, but I tried to narrow it down to what I used the most, and what brought me the most joy. These favorites are anything from a piece of clothing, to skin care, to just some random things. I tried to pick things that I first tried in 2019 in hopes that most things are still available if you want to try it for yourself! 1. S'well Bottle This was my most used item of ...

Last Minute Gift Ideas

A little late with my Gift Guide Friday, but I had my LAST final last night, and just felt like relaxing. This is my last gift guide of the season! How is it the weekend before Christmas, already?!?Sometimes you procrastinate some of your gift buying (haha me), and sometimes you have a last minute gathering, and need to get a gift. You also just might not have a clue on what to gift. I have curated some things that I think are easy last minute finds. I tried to find things that you could easily go to the store for, or order via Amazon Prime, or do rush shipping for. I have had SO MUCH FUN putting together all of my guides this season. I hope at least one of you felt inspired!  Last Minute Gift Ideas    Fluffy socks   |   Earrings         Wine + wine bag   |   Skincare set   |   Candle   GMG Gift Card   |   Hat + Mittens Bluetooth speaker   |   Coffee mug   ...

You better watch out!

Ok, sorry. I had to take the great opportunity with the title of this post 😂. Once it came to my brain, it was too funny to pass up! The days until the holiday are numbered, so I wanted to share this fun festive outfit, and chat about some holiday traditions today. This might be one of my favorite locations I have found back home in MN to shoot at during the winter. It looks all cheery and Christmasy! It is a historic home that has been restored as a historical landmark. I always forget the name, but I know exactly where it is, so I could navigate someone there, ahah! Skirt  |   Scarf  | Similar sweater  |   Similar Shoes  |   Earrings This blackwatch skirt from Ann Taylor is incredible! I love the fit, and the material: is a thicker material that will actually keep you warm during the winter! I really feel like blackwatch is a winter long plaid because the colors are not overly Christmasy. But, it is still festive ...

Gift Guide for Blue and White Lovers

Welcome to a very niche edition of Gift Guide Friday! If you are like, you may have an obsession with all things blue and white. The color schemes for my room in NJ, and for the guest room (my room) in MN are blue and white! I just love how clean, put together, but cozy the colors feel. If you are not fellow blue and white lover, I bet you know someone who is! A lot of these things may be ginger jar related 😊 Blue and White Lovers 💙 Ginger jar jammies   |   Coffee mug   |   Ginger jar rug   |   Navy earrings   Ginger jar ice bucket   |   Art print   |   Gingham blanket Striped towel   |   Ginger jar needlepoint   |   Water bottle     Sunhat   |   Ginger jar stationary   |   Mini blue handbag   |    Blue sweater Art print : This is a print from one of my FAVORITE artists!
