I shared the tutorial on Instagram for this bouncy, volumized “faux blow out” style using a 2-inch curling iron. Watch it here!
We had a warm, lovely few days, but then a storm system brought in much colder air on Thursday. We dropped 40 degrees! I went from wearing sandals and tanks back to long sleeves and layers.
These are my favorite layering tanks! I love the cropped style, so you don’t have to worry about tucking it in, and they have a nice-sized neckline that is snug but not too tight.
This weekend is the Tobacco Road Half Marathon. I’m running it along with a handful of friends! The past 6 weeks or so have proven to be extremely busy with a trip out to Utah in the middle of it, so I haven’t had the time to train and work on my speed like I had hoped. So, I’m going into this half-marathon with the mindset that I’ll do my best, enjoy it, and just run in a way that feels good!

That eye cream recommendation came at the perfect time—I’ve been looking for something new that actually works under concealer. Also, Kate, the living room refresh you mentioned has me looking at my own space with a very critical eye today! We’ve been debating a few bigger updates to our layout and I’ve been browsing https://qualityrenovation.com for some design inspo to see what’s even possible with our current floor plan. It’s so easy to get sucked into the rabbit hole of “house projects” once you start looking, isn’t it? Anyway, thanks for the great list of links to get the week started!
