Each month, I put together my five favorite finds in the following categories : beauty, travel, small shop, food, + random.
B E A U T Y
Monat Skincare
Specifically the "Be Gentle" line. One of my goals is to figure out my skin's necessary routine. In my teens and twenties, I maybe used skincare products once per month. Now that I'm in my thirties, I can see and feel that my skin needs some attention. Note : you do need to join to place an order. The skincare line is worth it - you can select the items that work best for your skin. If you are in the Portland, Oregon area : my aunt is a rep and has a true gift when it comes to helping you find products for your lifestyle and needs. Contact me for her information!

30A
Over the past year, I noticed this area of Florida becoming "trendy". I traveled for work to this area last week, and let me tell you - it is worth the hype. Even in "off season" it was gorgeous! I was told the visitor traffic begins to pick-up in March, with peak visitation in June through July. If you are looking for a last-minute get-away mid-March, I fully recommend you consider 30A.

Mebie Baby
I am obsessed with this shop! I discovered it prior to having my son in 2021, and continue to gift the clothes, swaddles, changing covers and blankets. I know how difficult it can be to find boy clothes that aren't dinosaurs, space ships, and trucks. The designs are stunning, the quality is fantastic, and they have great sales throughout the year. Give them a follow on social, or sign-up for the newsletter.

Pecorino Wine
As mentioned above, I was traveling for work last week - and I was introduced to Pecorino. Absolutely incredible. It's a wine that is gaining attention, and for good reason. From the Abruzzo region of Italy (east of Rome) - it is known as the "red dressed in white". It is dry with almost savory notes on the nose and throughout the life of your sip. Pair with a carbonara or simple spring rolls.

Racing is Back
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like run racing is finally back. Prior to having kids, I loved completing half-marathons. The feeling after a run and after completing a race was well worth the 5am wake-up to train. Post children, I haven't found my stride. Lately I've been hearing of races gaining popularity again, and I'm here for it! Those of you training for an upcoming race - you are my inspiration! My daughter wants to run our local "Duck Dash" prior to the Eugene Marathon this spring - mostly because the Oregon Duck is meant to be there. Perhaps this will be the spark to get me back into running. Looking to get back into running with me? Find your race and let's find our stride together.
