A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
I bought this! First time I've ever bought something after seeing it on your blog! (Believe me, I almost always WANT to buy what you show on here 🙂 They also have opaque tights on sale for 9.99…i'm sure they aren't the best but that got me free shipping haha.
One note of advice that I have held close to my chest for a while: Never for a minute think you can throw a bag like this in the wash. You think oh, it's fabric, it's dirty, let me just run it through the cold cycle.
NO. Do NOT. You will ruin your bag.
And that's a tip from someone who's done it wrong. More than once. Don't be a sad bag-ruiner!
Kid you not, I made this exact bag last summer because I could not find a beach bag I liked. Canvas tote from Micheal's and neon orange fabric paint under $10.
Thank you so much for your affordable focus this week! great picks!
