Family Photos 2020

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles shares field family photos and wooded family photos with cute family photo outfits

Happy Thursday ya’ll! I CANNOT believe Christmas is next week!! I started to decorate for Christmas and doing all the Christmas things super early but after Thanksgiving I was SO busy with photography clients I feel like December flew by! We are jamming in some Christmas festivities this weekend which I am really excited about since I feel like we have been so busy the past few weeks! We took our family pictures in November and I am OBSESSED with how they turned out! My friend that used to do photography and I exchange doing pictures for each other each year and then edit our own and it works out so well! Sorry for the major picture overload but I couldn’t narrow them down because I mean Sawyer’s cute face haha! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and finish all your last minute shopping! <3

DIY Holiday Gift Basket

Thank you Neutrogena for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own

Happy Thursday loves! Can you believe that Christmas is almost here!? When thinking of gift ideas for loved ones during the holiday season one thing I always turn to is a cute gift basket! Today I am putting together a gift basket for my best friend, but this would be great for a sister or even your mom too! Seriously this is such a fun and easy idea! It also adds a personal touch. I love scanning through the store for fun things to throw in the basket! What I usually do to make shopping a little bit easier is start with a theme. With 2020 being a tough year for most I wanted to make the theme a self-care gift basket. I picked up some fuzzy socks, bath bomb, jade roller, scrunchies, face masks, adorable mug, and lastly some great skincare items from Neutrogena at Walmart!

I’ve heard nothing but great things from their Bright Boost line so I grabbed the Bright Boost Gel Cream and Bright Boost Illumination Serum. The Gel Gream has Neoglucosamine in it which helps visibly reduces dullness and dark spots for smooth skin. It also improves look of tone, texture, and fine lines. The Illumination Serum has turmeric extract in it so it helps with dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Plus it is dermatologist-tested and clinically proven to hydrate and nourish your skin!

I can’t wait for her to try them out! What are some of your favorite items to add to a holiday gift basket? I hope you all have a great week ahead! <3

Mustard & Flares

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a boho winter outfit with mustard off the shoulder sweater, Abercrombie flare jeans, and Sancia bag

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and long weekend! I also hope you scored some awesome deals with all the crazy sales going on! A lot of them are still going on for cyber Monday today so be sure to check out my sales post! If you’ve been around awhile you know my love for mustard, especially during the cooler months, so when I saw this adorable off the shoulder mustard sweater I knew I had to have it! I love that the shoulders are mesh so it looks off the shoulder but has to comfort of a normal top! Seriously genius since I swear I am always getting annoyed with off the shoulder tops either popping back up or falling too low. I paired it with some highwaisted denim flares and threw on a brown hat to give this look a boho feel. I hope you all have a wonderful start to you week! <3

If you haven’t heard, Gaylord Palms DOES Christmas and they have a whole new I Love Christmas Movies exhibit where they are recreating scenes from favorite Christmas movies. Also they have fake snow!!! I cannot wait and I will share a lot more about it next week! In the spirit of kicking off the holidays I wanted to start with some gift guides! Today is all about your BFF! This charcuterie board just looks amazing , so much I want one for myself ha! Also I don’t think you can ever go wrong with wine glasses and these are too cute and would even make a great pair with the charcuterie board! Another thing you can’t go wrong with is cozy!! These slippers are my all time favorite and how cute is this robe and blanket?!

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a Neutrogena Make up remover wipes review and talks about how it removes dirt and oil and cleans

Happy Wednesday loves! So I wanted to talk to you about a product that has been a total life saver for me during these hot Florida days (yep, it’s still hot here) and that’s the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes! Being a busy mom and running around with a toddler can get a little sweaty, especially when you have super oily skin like I do. Also the Florida humidity doesn’t help!

But what I love about the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes is they not only remove your makeup they also remove dirt, oil and bacteria! So it is like washing your face on the go without water! I use the fragrance-free versions because my skin is a little sensitive. These are gentle on my face but tough enough to wipe away all that other gunk.

During the week I usually just put a little eye makeup on so after I go to Sawyer’s swim classes with him and then play at the park later in the day I just take these out of my bag and give me face a quick wipe and my face feels so refreshed and clean! The best part, I don’t mess up my eye makeup like I would have if I washed my face in the sink! Then at the end of the day before jumping in the shower they also quickly remove all my eye makeup in a few swipes! Seriously a game changer! They are available at your local Walmart or you can add them to your next online pickup or delivery order! I hope you all have a fabulous week! <3

Amazon Prime Day Sales

It’s that time of the year again, Amazon Prime Day! Well actually it is 2 days and today is the last day to snag some awesome deals! Whether you are starting holiday shopping super early or you want to get some great deals for yourself it is a great time to shop! The Instant Pots go on sale every year and I mention them every year because we use ours probably 3 times a week! It is the best appliance ever! If you are a mama Graco is having 30% off a ton of items and car seats! The best texturizing spray in my opinion is on major sale too and it’s pretty pricey so it is a great time to stock up! I hope you all have a great Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday babes! Ugh this weekend went by way too fast and was super uneventful! I am not ready for a new week haha! Today I am keeping things super laid back! You all know I have been all about the band tees and this one is definitely one of my favorites! I paired it with some camo jeans for a super casual vibe. I threw on my new Bussola sneakers that are super comfy! They are almost like a boot/sneaker hybrid and are all leather and super comfy! I love how there is a zip on the side too so you don’t have to worry about the laces! I finished the look off with sunnies and crossbody. I hope you all have a great Monday! <3

Fall Decor

Happy Fall ya’ll!! I cannot believe fall is officially here already and it actually feels like fall in Florida and I could not be happier! I just wish it could stick around! I love decorating for fall and with this crap of a year it definitely brightened my spirits putting out all our fall decor! I’ve been itching to add a few new things too, because who can resist cute fall decor?! This fall wreath is SO beautiful and it would be perfect over a fireplace! I am a sucker for a cute festive doormat and this one is so stinking cute! Another thing I am a sucker for is throw pillows and I love this one and this one! Do you love decorating for fall?!

Currently Craving Fall Booties

Happy Wednesday babes! I hope you all are having a great week so far! Now that I got all my fall decor out I have been craving all the fall fashion and cool weather! Ya cool weather is wishful thinking in Florida I know! But you all know I cannot resist a good fall bootie! Combat boots are supposed to be huge this season so I just finally pulled the trigger on some Dr Martens. I know they will last me for years and I may or may not have gotten Sawyer a matching pair! ;) You also know I cannot resist leopard print, especially in bootie form and these are soooo cute and such a great price! If you’re feeling more edgy, I love these stud and buckle ones! I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! <3
