Love this Chrissy! I like the idea of habit stacking... just have to think of one I have 😂 We enjoyed “Wandavision” on Disney+ (but it takes like 3 episodes to get good)

Planting some pansies in a porch pot this weekend is making my day, they are cold weather hearty so it’s a safe bet to do right now.

Thanks for the tips! (And now I want Taco Bell potatoes)

Thank you! My coworker looooved wandavision and we have been meaning to check it out. Also on the habit stacking, it could be as simple as taking your vitamin or drinking a glass of water when you do something that without fail happens every morning, like brewing coffee or making the kiddo(s) breakfast :)

I did NOT know that about pansies, but that sounds like such a relaxing and happy activity to [cautiously] welcome spring!

Love this! I read straight through which is v rare. We are somewhat new Disney+ subscribers. We came across the show Bluey. We watched with my son, but now my husband and I sometimes watch without him at night. It’s so cute! Also, I appreciate a good boxy tee. I’ll be checking your recommendation out STAT! Congrats on this new endeavor! Looking forward to reading!

It took us a while to really start using Disney+ regularly! We are going to check out Bluey, I hadn't heard of it yet. Thank you so much for your support and I'm excited to continue sharing my finds!

I can’t wait to get the Taco Bell potatoes tomorrow while watching Zenon and Inside Out. I’m also going to try to figure out a way to habit stack. Great tips!! Great job. Love you

I loved this so much!! Ok question, is the cuticle oil balm better than the Olive & June cuticle serum? Good things for this past week include: my baby saying a definite “HI!” back to me, getting Thai takeout from a new favorite restaurant, and my best friend starting an awesome new blog! Love you so much and can’t wait for the next post!

Thank you, angel! Okay, so it's more of an oily/balm texture but rubs in really quickly. I think as a hydrating step the O&J is still really good after a mani, but the sally hansen will lock it all in. That said, it's not as oily/greasy as a cuticle oil would be - it's like the best of both worlds. And OMG to baby girl saying "HI" !! That is the best feeling, and you must be full of so much joy seeing her language skills continue to develop.

Chrissy I love this more than I can accurately express!! I will look forward to this every Sunday! How’s that sunscreen on acne prone skin!? Also, I got my 1st dose of the covid vaccine this week and cried after because I am SO looking forward to not living in constant fear anymore. Thank you for being you and sharing your happiness with us- it makes me happy! Love you!!!

Thank you SO much for your support! I was in tears reading the thoughtful replies including this one. So far, so good on the sunscreen, though I should warn you that I'm also treating my acne with prescriptions so it may be harder to point out acne-triggering formulas. I have heard from many that it is good for acne-prone skin but it is very soothing and hydrating so if you deal with dryness AND acne it could be a really good option. I've found that being diligent about a double-cleanse at night when using sunscreen is what heeps me from breaking out (oil/balm then a gentle cleanser to follow). I can definitely vouch for EltaMD for not triggering any acne - specifically the UV clear (tinted and untinted) and if you have an HSA/FSA it is covered in the Amazon HSA shop!! Also YAY for the vaccine this week for you and not living in fear! We are SOOOO close.

First of all, I was always do my best to stop you from getting bangs. It’s not my fault you only listen to me 50% of the time. Secondly, congrats my friend! This gave me lots of things to spend more time looking into (especially sunscreen- so send me what options I have please). Love you caterpillar!

Haha! Thanks for reading! I'm so glad I'm not alone. Also I swear now that they're back TB seems to be more generous with the cheese and sour cream. I need to try a few more locations to be sure.. You know,...for science. :)
