New Year’s Eve Outfit Inspo
Three more sleeps until 2021 and I'm still stuck somewhere in May of 2020. Anybody else?! This year was bizarre, uncertain and somehow, the fastest I've ever experienced. While we can't go out safely this year to celebrate, New Year's glam does not have to be canceled! We can still get dressed up to ring in the New Year in style. Sharing New Years Eve outfit inspo with you today--from comfy sparkly pieces to dresses I'm loving. All of these pieces can be styled in chic ways for the rest of 2021 too.
Top 10 Masks That Prevent “Maskne”
2020 brought us many unexpected circumstances--including the unfortunate gift of "maskne." Maskne is skin irritation and breakouts brought on by the friction of your mask rubbing against your skin and trapping moisture.

Cheetah Skirt + Oversized Sweater
After all, it's the little things in 2020 that make us light up; what a year it's been! We went extremely early -- before people were really out so it felt as safe as possible given these crazy times. I wore a cheetah print skirt that I had been eyeing for a while. Naiya wore her Elsa dress from 'Frozen' which was very on-brand for her as she RARELY takes it off! Sharing snapshots of our holiday date as well as outfit details.
Our Fave Socially-Distant Holiday Activities
2020 may be one of the craziest years ever but the holidays don't have to FEEL canceled! Naiya and I masked up and took our first mother/daughter date out this past weekend in MONTHS to celebrate making it to the end of 2020. Thanks to ALL the work zooms, I've BARELY left the house this year. Needless to say, this adventure felt like a safe mini vacation in the best way!
