It’s hard to believe an entire year has gone by! From personal moments watching my daughter grow from a baby to a now 1 year old, Narayan becoming a loving big brother, Dave going vegan (which had a huge impact on my own eating habits), and professional accomplishments like launching another collection, working with some of my all-time favorite powerhouse brands, connecting with you all and so much more, I couldn’t have had a better (and busier) year!

I hope you all enjoyed Christmas last week – I got to spend some much needed R&R at home with the family after celebrating Minnie’s first birthday on 12/24. After a full week of downtime, completely unplugged from my computer, I’m ready to jump into 2019 full-force!

But before we jump into 2019, I’m continuing with my yearly tradition of sharing the year’s most popular outfits, so 2018’s top 10 are below.

Cheers to an amazing year to come, and thank you all so much for your continued love and support, it truly means the world to me.  Happy new year!

As someone who shops a lot, I had to learn many tough lessons in my 20s about what to buy and when. (Trust me, my Poshmark account is proof that I haven’t always made the best shopping choices!)

Now that I’m in my late 30s and I know the value of a dollar—and of a wise purchase—I always keep these things in mind before adding something to my wardrobe. So whether you have shopping anxiety or are a pro, hopefully these tips will be helpful to you.

Real Talk: How I’m Beating the Holiday Blues November 21, 2018 at 01:45PM

I seriously can’t believe the holiday season is already here! Lately I find myself looking at Minnie thinking, where did the time go?! This time last year I was counting down the final weeks of my pregnancy, and now I get to watch this amazing little human learn to walk, talk and grow alongside her brother who loves her dearly.

We’re currently in the midst of doing some renovations at home and planning Minnie’s first birthday party, so everything is super busy as usual, but life is good.

Every year when the holidays roll around though, I find myself in a bit of a funk. I don’t know if it’s just burn out from general work and life, but I definitely have to make extra effort to stay in a positive head space this time of year.

Something that helps keep my mood in check is writing out a gratitude list, expressing who and what I’m grateful for. This year I wanted to share my list, in hopes of inspiring you to create your own, if you’re feeling any holiday blues.

Here are 5 things I’m grateful for:

How I’m Styling Sweaters This Season November 16, 2018 at 01:45PM

This is how I rejuvenate my curls November 13, 2018 at 01:45PM

I want to preface this post by saying this is NOT sponsored – this is simply a product I’ve been using for the past year that WORKS MAGIC! 

When it comes to my hair care, I’m especially particular. I’ve tried tons of products over the years, only to return to my tried and true favorites time and time again.

After I had my daughter last year though, my hair was in the worst shape it had ever been. It was dry, lifeless and my curls were stringy and in need of some major TLC. I’m convinced that pregnancy hormones had taken almost all my curl away, and thanks to color processing and a bad highlight job the year before, I needed something to give my locks life again. I tried everything from salon treatments to products recommended by curly YouTubers and everything in between, with hopes of getting my curls back in shape. Nothing worked.

After reaching out to a hairstylist on social media, open to trying anything at that point, he recommended I try this deep conditioner. After using it just once, my natural curl pattern came back! All I did was follow the directions on the container to use it like a deep conditioning treatment, and my hair was moisturized, glossy and full of life again!

Now, whenever my curls need to bounce back after heat processing (which I only do about 1-2 times per year) or the changing weather, I use this intense moisture mask and it re-sets my curls, so to speak.

5 Reasons to Include Flaxseed in Your Diet February 21, 2018 at 01:45PM

Now that 2018 is in full swing, I’m really trying to live up to my intention to make better food choices! While revamping my entire diet is out of the question (I love food way too much!), I do like the idea of making small changes that make a big impact.

Along with turmeric and apple cider vinegar, flaxseeds are my regular go-to for a healthy boost. Naturally gluten-free, high in fiber and healthy fats, flaxseeds and their oil have been consumed as a superfood for around 6,000 years, making it one of the oldest ones on the planet! Even just a couple of teaspoons of ground flaxseeds added to your daily diet can make a big difference in your overall health.

I’ve been a fan of putting flaxseeds in my smoothies for years, but there are so many other reasons why you should keep them on hand. Here are five, in case you aren’t convinced yet:
