The Skinny: MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment from LUSH

Well isn't that a mouthful. Tonight I'm reviewing one of the many Lush goodies I was gifted (surprisingly) tonight after a random State Street Macy's trip. Erick is seriously, seriously, seriously the best. And if all of y'all have never heard of Lush, I suggest you not online visit their site, but go walk into one of their stores. I kid you not- it's like being an adult in a candy store. The smells are overpowering, but not in a Yankee Candle kind of way... more like a yummy bath things kind of way. I'll be honest in saying most men would rather not enjoy this journey, but your woman will definitely love you even more if you treat her to some Lush every once and a while. Just saying.

So on to the marshmallow magical goodness. This pinkish cupcake adorable little guy is about a $6 indulgence. And while that is a little steep for a one-use, you could easily take a butter knife to him and get 2-3 baths instead. This is from Lush's line of bath melts. Note: these do not make bubbles, they only have yummy smells and moisturizing properties. I combined mine with a bath bomb (fizzy) so it could go the extra distance. I loved it. Skin was super soft and not overbearingly fragranced. Did I mention I love Lush? Seriousy. After spending the first, like... 20 years of your life taking ONLY baths, you grow fond of that relaxing nighttime ritual. When I lived in the dorms at college I absolutely despised taking showers. Especially public showers. I wore flip flops and everything. Ack.

Anyway, I hope you all visit Lush sometime soon and have the chance to pick one of these up. This is not the first Lush product I plan on reviewing, so if you're a fan, stay tuned. I have a lot more goodies to show you. Till next time...

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

mum + bub skincare review + giveaway!

Happy Wednesday to all of you! It's my favorite day of the week. Today, I spent a lazy day at home with the girls and one thing we all enjoy doing when we get a little stir crazy is to hop in a bubble bath together and relax for a bit. I've always bathed with my girls, its an experience I know I'll cherish looking back on forever. When the wonderful people at aden + anais asked if I would review their new mum + bub skincare line, I immediately responded with a resounding "YES!" If anyone knows me, you know that I've already purchased every single swaddle they've ever made because I think they are the best things ever. I use them for everything under the sun: nursing covers, sleep blankets, sun shields, carseat covers, play blankets, and yes of course to swaddle Alba up at night. Knowing how much I already loved this company, I just knew that any avenue they pursued would have to turn out amazing - I was right. Today I'm g...

welcoming fall: hiking together

A while back, I had posted about dreading the change of the season. I was so caught up in my whirlwind of a summer, the beautiful weather, the bare feet, the music and late night dancing in the wilderness, camping, and vacations that I barely remembered or welcomed the un-rushed pace that comes with the beginning of fall. Living in the middle of the city has been a blessing for finding new, exciting and bustling places to eat and explore, but so many times I'm wishing for the opportunity to do something a little less... urban . I grew up in the country, and Erick, in the city- so now we've been doing our best to give our child the best of both worlds. We took a drive about 40 minutes south of the city to a little place in the suburbs and welcomed the crisp and cool air that kissed our cheeks as we embarked on a tiny adventure in the forest. Hiking with a toddler is such an enriching exper...
