I removed foundation from my daily routine about a year ago. Prior to the change, a few drops of Estee Lauder Double Wear (still my favorite foundation) was a necessity. But over the last several months I have become more comfortable with a close to bare to a bare face. By no means am I … Continue reading A Little Boost for Your Skin
I was going through old pictures that I completely forgot existed, when I stumbled upon this particular one of Fabian holding our then one year old. It was our first family trip to the Philippines. We were in my old bedroom that I shared with my older sister in the five years that we resided … Continue reading Being a Dad: Fabian
It doesn't feel like that long ago I was 16-17ish, placing my curiosities about my future in an old journal. Specifically the thought of one day having a family. It went along the lines of, "I can't imagine what it would be like to be a mom."Â Fast forward a few years later and I am … Continue reading Mom
It sounds crazy, but at one point of my life I considered applying to be a contestant for the show, The Amazing Race. The origin of this idea?

A few days ago was … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To + Getting Older

With the first button unbuttoned. The floral design reminded me of something similar from Reformation. Black knitted tank - Hugs the body … Continue reading Thrifting Again (Small haul)

I always contemplate over the previous years and find myself amazed at how our story has developed in the pass x amount of years. This day marks seven. Fabian and I were both students in Great Lakes, Illinois, when we met at the ages … Continue reading 7 Year Anniversary / Reflections on Marriage
