Valentine’s Day Style and Self Care Finds



February 5, 2026

Valentine’s Day does not have to be over the top to feel special. Whether you are heading out for a date night, celebrating with your kids, or hosting a Galentine’s party, this time of year is the perfect mix of cozy, feminine, and fun. I rounded up pieces and ideas that feel easy to wear now, but will still work long after February is over.

Inside this post, you will find outfit ideas, gift inspiration, and a few simple ways to make the day feel a little more meaningful, even during a busy season of mom life. Think effortless looks you can wear from school drop off to dinner plans, thoughtful finds that make great gifts, and a few little favorites that make everyday routines feel more elevated.

Tap here to read last week’s blog post – The Ultimate Denim Roundup!

Date Night Outfit Ideas

Date night is the perfect excuse to lean into pieces that feel a little more elevated while still being comfortable enough to actually enjoy the night. These outfits are easy to recreate and can be styled again long after February. Tap the images to shop each look!

Spring Transition Pieces

These are the pieces that feel festive without being overly themed, and you will reach for them long after February. Soft pink denim, feminine lace details, relaxed florals, and light layers make it easy to create a look that feels sweet for the holiday but still fresh for spring. These are the styles you can dress up for a casual dinner, coffee date, or weekend plans now, then transition seamlessly into your spring wardrobe. Tap the images to shop each look!

Soft, Sweet, and Cozy

Not every Valentine’s Day calls for getting dressed up, sometimes the best plans involve staying cozy! These looks are perfect for slow mornings, casual plans at home, or running errands while still leaning into soft pinks and classic reds. Alo is one of my favorite brands for activewear and athleisure, this new pink colorway is too perfect. And the Spanx red I loved for Christmas works for Valentine’s Day too. Tap the images to shop my cozy favorites!

Valentine’s Day Amazon Finds

If you are still pulling together a Valentine’s Day look or just want something cute and easy to wear right now, these casual Amazon finds are perfect for last minute styling. I love having a few quick shipping staples on hand that can be styled with denim, leggings, or everyday basics. Tap the images to shop these casual favorites!

I just had to include my favorite gym shoes from Amazon because they’re pink and I love them!

Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to lean into thoughtful little luxuries, whether you are putting together a gift for your best friend or treating yourself to something special. Tap the images to shop!

Honorable Mention

This one is for all my boujie girls. These are my favorite elevated booties that are totally worth the splurge (in my opinion). Treat yourself to the pair of red bottoms you’ve always wanted this Valentine’s Day!

Christmas Week Look!



December 19, 2021

Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring todays look, as always all opinions here are my own.

Hey Ladies! Christmas week is here! Are you ready?! I am still trying to decide what gifts to get for the boys…Last minute shopper over here! This look on the blog today is perfect for Christmas week, whether you want to take it to girls lunch or even a little business casual look– its comfy and classy all at the same time!

Nordstrom is a go – to for me to shop, they have a ton of classic pieces that are easy to mix and match. The Nordstrom made brand Halogen is something I always want to check out. The cut out shoulder sweater is a perfect length ( I got my true size large) to even wear with leggings. Its super soft, has a second neutral color option too! I paired it with black denim here and a little front tuck too. Paired with some simple black pumps, and you’re on your way!

I linked the full look below along with a few other sale items I recently found as well!

The Virtual Gift That Keeps Giving!



November 18, 2021

Thank you to Walmart+ for sponsoring todays post, as always all opinions here are my
own.  

Oh man, the Holidays arrived QUICK! Confession I haven’t started working on my list yet,
I am TOTALLY a last minute kinda  shopper– Quick little gift that will NEVER disappoint
(and gives all year long) is a year long membership to Walmart+ 

Early Last year, I started looking around for more time and money saving options. So I started using the Walmart+ membership to get unlimited free delivery on fresh, high quality groceries weekly($35 minimum.
Restrictions apply.)

I can always find my regular snacks and foods I want for the boys
and love that it’s easy to add items to my cart by saving my previously ordered items in
my account which SAVES ME SO MUCH TIME! I have LOVED this (sometimes even
more frequently) and it helps me spend more time with my family and get back to what I
actually ENJOY doing. 


 Free unlimited delivery can help for holiday
gatherings and gifting wins all season long.  ($35 minimum, 
restrictions apply). The Walmart+ membership is not just for grocery delivery, so you
can get other items you need like clothing or electronics, and the membership pays for itself
with two deliveries (based on the $7.95 delivery fee)!

Join for $12.95/month or $98/year. 
Another Walmart+ benefit includes free shipping, no order minimum on last
minute gifts for all your holiday moments, all season long at the same low price you get
in stores (Excludes most Marketplace items, location & freight surcharges). 
I HIGHLY recommend the Walmart+ membership– it truly has given me back so much
time in my day! Check out walmartplus.com to see which benefits are available in your
area and Start your 15-Day Free Trial

Holiday Sparkle: One Top, Two Ways



November 14, 2021

*Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring today’s post, as always all opinions here are my own.

I know I start prepping for the Holidays sooner than most because I love to enjoy twinkle lights wayyyy too much, but I really feel like it’s sneaking up on us! That means you pretty much have permission to wear sequins or something sparkly everyday. LOL– I mean, if ya can’t now, when can you?!

I partnered with Nordstrom today and styled this sequin beauty two ways, to share how you can get a little more mileage from what we would consider only a dressy top— but go ahead a pop it on again for a little gathering with the girls and it will be the statement of the evening! I LOVE the monochromatic look and dressed down with a little denim! The sequin halter top, comes in three colors, I am wearing a large, I found it runs a little big so I could easily do a medium – so feel free to size down if you are in between.

Nordstrom has some awesome new arrivals for winter and the holiday season, In addition to this particular look– one top, two ways — I linked up a few more versatile pieces that are SO fun to spice up your looks this holiday season!

Check out the full styling of this look and the other items that would be perfect this Holiday season below! If you do grab something, make sure to tag me on Instagram! I cannot wait to see how you style it!

I have my ingredients list below if you want to try– you will love it! Its super easy to whip up and I can easily keep everything on hand so I am ready in case the neighbors want a little shindig.

Want to know how I get everything ready to so easily? The secret is my Walmart+ membership

Early Last year, I started looking around for more time and money saving options. So I started using the Walmart+ member to get free same-day delivery of groceries weekly($35 minimum. Restrictions apply.) I can always find my regular snacks and foods I want for the boys and love that it’s easy to add items to my cart by saving my previously ordered items in my account which SAVES ME SO MUCH TIME! I have LOVED this (sometimes even more frequently) and it helps me spend more time with them and get back to what I actually ENJOY doing.

The Walmart+ membership takes it Remove: the grocery delivery service up another level with
free same-day delivery of groceries and more ($35 minimum,
restrictions apply). The Walmart+ membership is not just for grocery delivery, so you can get
other items you need like clothing or electronics, and the membership pays for itself with two
deliveries (based on the $7.95 delivery fee)! Join for $12.95/month or $98/year.
The latest Walmart+ benefit includes free shipping, no order minimum.

I HIGHLY recommend the Walmart+ membership– it truly has given me back so much time in my day! Check out walmartplus.com to see which benefits are available in your area and Start your 15-Day Free Trial

Here’s what I used to make this yummy treat:

1 container of Cool Whip ( I used Lite but you can select whatever your preference is)
1 Box of Vanilla Pudding Mix ( I used Sugar Free but choose your preference)
1-3 liberal scoops to taste of pumpkin pie mix
Pumpkin pie spice for garnish on the top
– Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and keep refrigerated right before serving.
– For dipping I used apples, graham crackers and Scooby snacks. Other suggestions are rice krispie treats and vanilla wafers
