Black Friday Sale Roundup!

Ok peeps – here’s the deal: there aren’t tons of things I ‘splurge’ on or too many high-ticket price items on my wish list usually. BUT for those few things that I’m willing to invest in and for the more expensive items that I end up needing on occasion, I always, always, allllllways try to wait for a SALE before I pull the trigger. And hello – Black Friday is the sale of all sales! So my 2 cents: do your Christmas shopping and your more expensive item shopping now when everything is on sale!

Tips for Layering

If you’ve been following me on Instagram or just following along on the blog for a minute, it’s no secret that I am obsessssssed with fall. By far my favorite season. One of the biggest reasons for that is that I love fall fashion! And more specifically, layering. Who doesn’t love having an excuse to wear multiple adorable items at one time? I’ve teamed up with Target today to pull together a layered look using some of the adorable fall/winter items in stores right meow, and to share a few tips for layering success. My love for layering is one of the many reasons that I’m a lil’ bit obsessed with Target – you can walk out of there with multiple items to pile it on without breaking the bank. And their selection right now is real real good.

My Holiday Shopping Philosophy + Thanksgiving Dinner Outfit Ideas

You guys – can we agree that holiday shopping has officially hit full-swing? Well, that is if you’re not me – I tend to make it a point to not be on top of anything, which means I literally haven’t purchased a single gift yet (#awesome). That being said, there’s one thing I have done in prep for getting my holiday shopping on: I gifted myself! Yep – you heard me right. I bought myself a lil’ gift or two. Does that make me a Selfish Samantha? Perhaps. But I think there’s another way to look at it: I genuinely tend to believe that when you treat yourself first, you feel more inspired to treat others – and it makes the whole holiday shopping process more exciting and fun! Right? Guys, am I crazy? Or can you get behind me on this? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you should all give it a try, and you should start with Target’s Wonderlist – a curated collection of adorable seasonal picks that would make awesome gifts for yourself, and for others too!

Hudson Jeans + Zappos, Part 2

Happy Fri-yaaaaaay! You guys – I can’t even tell you how much I needed it to be the weekend. Anyone else in that boat? And praise the Lord that we’re moving into holiday times because this mama neeeeeeeds it so badly! So badly. Can’t really talk about why at the moment (it’s not as big of a deal as I just made it sound) but let’s just say that I’m reminding myself on the daily that it’s all about perspective. Perspective perspective perspective. The things going on or people’s opinions that seem to really matter right now in this moment aren’t actually that important in the grand scheme of things. If I’m doing my best and trying to improve and trying to be a good person each day, I can feel at peace. Amiright? Hope all of you are doing so so great and feeling so good about yourselves!

Staying Fit During Pregnancy, Part 2!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nutrimom for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Ok guys – progress talk time. I wanted to update you on how Nutrimom is helping this prego sister out in the ‘staying fit during pregnancy’ department. So here’s the latest! My coach Katie has been fabulous about sending me messages to check in on how I’m doing and see what progress I’m making with the goals I set. I get a notification and an email any time she sends me a message. You guys, I’m not gonna lie – there is something about having Personal Coaching during this crazy pregnancy time that is sooooo helpful. Not sure if it’s the accountability factor or if it just helps me remember the goals I’ve set in the first place, but for realsies – it’s helping! One of the initial goals I set with…
