Happy 2021 + Monday Morning Routine

 


Happy first Monday of 2021! I have been going back and forth on whether or not I want to set intentions for myself for the new year. I looked back on my 2020 Intentions, and had a good laugh because that is all you can do. I am not being hard on myself for not fully rounding out all of my intentions of 2020 because that would be wasted energy. I think it is ok to not have complete follow through on your intentions/goals. I am finding it more important to just be able to roll with the punches (yes, it is cheesy!). 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the 2020 favorites, and if you have not read it yet, you can do so HERE! {There's some good discount codes/links in that post, so be sure to check it out!} I always have a lot of fun writing that post every year, and keep a running list of things that I narrow down in December.

I made sure to start off the first Monday of the year on the right foot with things that make me feel balanced like exercise, a yummy/pretty good for me brekkie, a wellness shot (I know lol), and some puppy cuddle time! If you saw my Instagram stories, then you know I had a double yolk egg when I was making breakfast, and I took that as a very good sign that the good things will come this year! So without further ado, here is my details first Monday of 2021 routine:

- Wake up! I usually wake up between 7:00-7:40, and keep water by my bed to drink first thing in the morning.

- Coffee, coffee, coffee. I just love a warm drink to wake me up a bit. I get asked this, and I drink black coffee in the morning, and then an iced coffee or latte in the afternoon!

- A little quiet time without electronics- this is a new habit I am trying to implement. Obvious dog cuddles during this, haha. 

- Exercise: I do a variety of things, but today I just wanted to do a brisk walk on the treadmill at an incline, and it felt incredible.

- Breakfast! I love breakfast, and feel like it is the most important meal. I usually will make a few things, and today I made my signature avocado toast (I have an Instagram Reels on how I make it). I always finish my coffee, and drink lots of water here, too. Other breakfasts I make are omelets, egg white scrambles, healthy-ish pancakes and oatmeal.

- Shower/Skincare: Pretty self explanatory, hah. Today, I did not get too sweaty, so I just washed my face, did my skincare routine, and loaded my hair with dry shampoo. Tomorrow, I will do a very sweaty workout, and wash my hair.

- Get ready + dressed! It is the dead of winter in Minnesota, so I have been wearing all of my Dudley Stephens fleeces on rotation- I just got the black fleece and it has been my recent favorite. Use this link for $25 off your first fleece (let me know if the link doesn't work, and I can help!)


Well, that is my Monday Morning routine. Nothing complicated, just the steps I like to take to ensure a good day/week. I wish you a great start to the new year. Cheers, friends!!



As always,

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
