39 THINGS I LEARNED IN 39 YEARS! ❤️✨💕 JkJ

39 THINGS I LEARNED IN 39 YEARS! ❤️✨💕 JkJk I definitely do not have 39 things to share but here is some wisdom from old age. Also: happy birthday to me and all my other cuspy Libras (any other Virgo-y Libras walking around? To all you uptight perfectionists who also want to be charming and social and hate conflict and cannot make a decision to save their lives, I SEE YOU.)

Use the good stuff. Don't save your fancy things for special occasions. I use my family silver every day, I drink my water out of a crystal goblet, and I wear my nice jewelry even just sitting around the house. Maybe you'll break a nice wine glass (I broke one last week 😭) but I'd rather break it from using it too much than let it sit on the shelf.
-
Always tell the people you love how much you appreciate them as you never know if one day they won't be around.
-
Daily exercise and meditation isn't just a nice to do, it's a necessity. Not for looks or weight loss but to be a better, happier person. And taking care of your own health (mental and physical!) isn't just for you, it's for the people around you.
-
Work hard and be nice; it's the simplest advice but it's hard to fail if you do both of those things.
-
If your pants don’t fit, you get to go shopping!
-
Curiosity is the key to an interesting life. 💥
-
It's okay not to have a grand plan. I don't have a 5 or 10 year plan. Never stop learning and make the plan up as you go.

That is all I've got! Felt so lucky to ring in 39 last year at one of my fav restaurants (@americanbarnyc) with the perfect dirty martini and a few of my favorite people. Despite the pandemic and a bit of a hangover today I am feeling great! 📸: @beccamfreeman

My birthday is tomorrow! Cheers to 39! While I am

My birthday is tomorrow! Cheers to 39! While I am just meh on turning another year older, one thing I am always excited about is treating myself to a few new beauty goodies and choosing my @sephora Beauty Insider birthday gift! This year, Sephora has birthday gifts available from @milkmakeup @soldejaneiro and @briogeo. I chose this cute little set from Milk as it features two minis of fav products (a mini Kush Mascara and a mini Lip & Cheek in “werk,” the perfect rosy nude) and a sample of their Hydro Grip Primer.
-
The Sephora Beauty Insider birthday gifts are always valued at $25+, and you can pick it up online or in-stores. If you’re not a Sephora Beauty Insider member yet, you can easily join now online or in-store at Sephora.com/Rewards! You’ll have access to so many great perks (like be able to shop their twice yearly sale event!) and redeem your choice of a birthday gift from them during your birthday month.

Those early fall sunflowers and a glass of rosé!

If you follow us both, you know that my friend @je

If you follow us both, you know that my friend @jessannkirby is doing a “September Style Challenge!” Today’s theme is loafers! I bought my @gucci loafers 4 years ago and they’re among my fav fall shoes. I don’t wear a lot of flats as they hurt my feet (need a little more support!) but not these!!!! I usually pair mine with jeans (see more of that on stories) but wanted to use them to dress down my new @tanyataylor dress. This combination is so cute - and so comfy!
-
As part of the #MonthlyStyleChallenge we are both donating $50 to @votesaveamerica for obvious reasons! Head to stories to see some more loafer looks, and head to Jess’s page to see how she styled gets! And my outfit is linked in my instashop ❤️

One of those days where I just really miss my family. And hugs. And spray tans, too, for that matter. 😆 This photo was from our Boston @badonpaperpodcast live show. My mom was a guest and my aunt @jeanlintmason had a BOP Tee made!!! I went to college in Boston and lived there for several years after so after the show we met up with all my college friends to relive our glory days. Such a fun memory. ❤️

Sharing some Amazon favs today on thestripe.com -

Sharing some Amazon favs today on thestripe.com - lots of good things, like this chunky tunic sweater! Also my mask is the inside of my @shopbombchel RBG mask - it’s reversible! Also sending a big hug to anyone who needs it, only 10am over here and have already had several things go wrong and to top it all off the cat just climbed my dresser and knocked all my perfume bottles off my vanity and I’m just like whyyyyyyy 🤯🤯😂 (📸 by @carterfish who always finds that good light!!)

If you read here regularly then you know that bath

If you read here regularly then you know that bath time is my favorite. I have a bath nearly every single night. It's a simple indulgence that marks the end of the work day (and the time to start relaxing)... and it's so good for sore muscles or a stressed out mind.
-
I have been absolutely loving @jr_watkins' Bath Elixirs. There are three different scent profiles (SLEEP, DETOX, AWAKEN) to give your mind and body what they need and maybe the best part: there's no mess at all! There's more in today's blog post AND if you go to stories, I'm giving one lucky winner $200 to spend at J.R. Watkins. Good luck!

It's hard to believe that today was the last day of summer! Today was BEAUTIFUL and perfect in New York. The kind of weather where you don't *need* a jacket but can wear one if you like - my ideal. ❤️
-
While I'll be wearing bare legs as long as possible, I've started to pull out my sweaters, leggings, and jeans. Sometimes I feel like time in a pandemic goes slowly, other days I feel like it's passing too quickly. Where did summer go!?
-
Everything I'm wearing is linked in my instashop, except my mask (@bysecondwind) and my purse which is @ullajohnson but from last year (I've seen a few floating around on The RealReal!) ✨💕
