    Thank you for that vacuum rec! Haha, it saved me having to research this weekend. We are both in much different lives from when I started reading your blog in 2012 but I know your recs have remained excellent all this time.

    Thank you for the vacuum link – I saw it when you posted it on IG but didn’t save it, and I desperately need a new vacuum.

  4. Rachel says:

    Seconding the recommendation on the Sephora eyeliner/shadow pencils! I have several colors and I reach for them over other options almost every day. Smooth application, easy to sharpen, and so inexpensive!

    Thank you Abra for your continued excellent content! 👏👏👏

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
