Have you built your personal brand while building your boutique’s brand?
I know for many, the thought of being front-and-center can make you want to pee your pants! So many business owners I know like being the Wizard (of Oz) and make magic behind the curtain.
What if I told you one of the keys to success is building your personal brand?
I haven’t shared a list of my loves since October, so I knew time was due! Originally I wanted to post this monthly, but #life. Funny thing is I had SO MUCH to share because November included birthday gifts, then December with Christmas. But, the benefit of waiting (aka procrastinating) is that I will only share the items I am still loving weeks later!
So, let’s dive in. Today I am sharing my most favorite fashion, beauty and mom products from November to January!
I absolutely love any excuse to buy gifts (it is totally my love language!) so there is no forgetting Valentine’s Day. And while I will gift my hubby something thoughtful, I love including my toddler in gift giving.
Growing up, my parents always gave me a box of chocolate and another small gift. I want to always show my love to Jericho, but without sweets. We are a sugar-free family, after all!
Last year’s gift guide was a big hit-including in our house! This year I wanted to share some of our current top favorite gifts that would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day gift for your 3-year-old. I’ve broken it down my category just for you, mama!
You know that moment you are really sick but the last thing you want to do is go to a doctor’s office?
Yeah, me too. Especially with a toddler. I am convinced if he or I need to go to the doctor, we will both catch something else. I’m just not down with that!
Days after Christmas, Jericho and I both came down with a cough. He got it, then I got it, then he was better, then I, then we both caught it again. I was convinced it was strep….because without meds it can be the gift that keeps on giving.
There are a number of wardrobe and outfit planning apps out there. I used to use an app loyally a couple of years ago, then I lost all the data and they didn’t back it up! So now I have tried many different versions and have found the one that I highly recommend, YourCloset. I am not an affiliate, nor is this sponsored – it is just my favorite option available out there!
You should know I am an android user, so there may be a plethora of options I’m not even aware of. When looking for a wardrobe app (if you want to look around) read the reviews and figure out what is most important to you when selecting the app.
How it your wardrobe edit going so far?
If you are anything like me, you have wanted to jump ahead and get it all done. I promise, we are almost there!
Today I want to focus on shoe organization. Not everyone has as many pairs as me, but even with my husband’s small 5-shoe collection we still stick to these tips to keep his shoes organized and easy to find.
So you made it through day one in our wardrobe edit, and now it is time to organize that closet of yours!
There are so many tips and hacks you could take on (I LOVE storage bins), but for the purposes of getting this done in one day, I am going to concentrate on what I believe is most important in just five easy steps.
It’s the first full week of January and everyone is stammering to keep resolutions. Fitness, minimalism, diet, work, spirituality…the list goes on.
For me, refreshing and restarting is the first step to obtaining my goals. I unplugged for a couple of weeks around Christmas, then I started editing my wardrobe (after tackling a client’s the week before Christmas too).
Purging, decluttering and finding some of my favorite items made me realize how much better I feel. And because I am here to serve you, my reader, I want to help you too!
It is no surprise that fashion is priority, even for my little family. I married a man who likes to look good too, so it is always important to us to dress our toddler accordingly!
Boy fashion is hard. There isn’t nearly as many options out there, and they tend to all feature the same superhero characters. It takes additional effort to put an outfit together. But, I love it!
I’ve written two more posts similar to this featuring toddler boy clothes and the looks I love, and I couldn’t resist doing a new, fresh post for winter wardrobes.
So sit back, relax and enjoy a little toddler retail therapy!
