Quarantine Survival Tips For Kids: Part II

We are in the middle of week four at home. So much to say. How are you all feeling? If I am being honest, this week feels the hardest for me but it’s not over quite yet. Home schooling has gotten a bit more structured but I wouldn’t say it has been smooth sailing. I hate to be Debbie Downer on here but truthfully, it’s extraordinarily difficult for two working parents. My 3rd grader is pretty independent but my 2nd grader…not so much! Looks like we are back to the crafting board…and wine. #sorrynotsorry

Luxury splurges to last.

Since the creation of my Real vs. Steal series, I’ve always been on the hunt for comparable products that perform just as well as their high end counterparts. But then I failed to realize that I’ve never talked about the big spends I actually HAVE saved for. As we all know, it can be hard to pull the trigger to spend on items with hefty price tags, but sometimes it has to be done. Some of my favorite closet staples have had astronomic prices, but I find myself reaching for them consistently. And if we’re talking CPW (cost-per-wear) I have DEFINITELY gotten the bang for my buck. As expensive as some of these choices are, they pair back perfectly with any outfit, and I can rely on them to complete any look.

Florals for Spring + a Home Renovation.

It’s comical that Covid-19 hit precisely in the middle of our master bedroom renovation. I feel like this could be an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. How do I have a sense of humor? I really don’t but what other choice do we have but to give it up to God and make it #FASHUN. So that’s what I did.

There's a (healthy) gummy for that!

Staying healthy is a top priority for me…especially in the wake of this nasty virus. From working out to making sure my nutrition and diet is up to par, I strongly believe in the power of vitamins and health supplements both of which really came into play when I hit my late 30’s and I started to encounter digestive issues, iron deficiencies and so much more! Not fun.

Staycation.

It should come as no surprise that our Spring Break plans were cancelled. I am pretty sure all of yours were, too. And, I am sorry that happened to you. I feel you. After a few days of feeling sorry for myself I decided that that path wasn’t getting me anywhere. Like at all. So let’s turn lemons into lemonade!

Real vs. Steal: The Eyeshadow Palette Edition.

When it comes to makeup and great beauty products, we all have our splurges. Something about high end cosmetics is appealing, it’s the pigmentation or the packaging. I can’t decide. Repeat makeup purchases get pricey, and for some items (like eyeshadow), you can barely tell the difference when you find a quality affordable option. The Real vs. Steal series continues and this time I’m bringing you the best budget friendly alternatives for some of the most popular luxury palettes.

All dressed up with nowhere to go.

“Influencing” our communities has never been so weird. We are tasked with inspiring, uplifting and informing on a daily basis but that is now awkward and uncomfortable. Thank you Covid-19. Some of us want to temper the changes with humor which, is welcome while others are struggling to find the right words. I am somewhere in-between on this spectrum.
