As I’ve gotten older and my interests have expanded, I find it even more difficult to unwind at night. So here’s to finding a happy medium! Follow these tips for a night of better sleep.
This is an update to a post from 2018. I didn’t realize that I had previously covered this topic until I searched the archives. In the past couple of years, I have learned a few more tips on the topic of sleep and wanted to expand upon the previous post.
You know that person that nods off in the middle of a meeting? Yep, that’s me! I didn’t even realize it until my co-worker mentioned it in passing. I was mortified and knew that my late-night tendencies were starting to take a toll. It’s just so hard to unwind from the hustle and bustle of a busy day!

Today’s post is inspired by those of you who wear extended sizes (14 and up). I know it can be incredibly frustrating to not be able to find clothes that fit and flatter your body. I used to think that brands intentionally excluded certain sizes because they didn’t feel that a curvier woman represented their brand, but after some research I’ve found that’s not entirely the case.
I just hit my one year anniversary of joining BeautyCounter as an independent consultant and using their products. If you’re not familiar with BeautyCounter, they’re a clean beauty and skincare brand with a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. Read my clean beauty story.
What makes them unique? Beautycounter is working at the legislative level to eliminate 1,800 questionable ingredients from the beauty industry. The Founder and CEO Gregg Renfrew has testified in a congressional hearing on cosmetic reform to further move the needle and is continuing to work with members of Congress to make this change.

Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! I first got a glimpse of the brand when I spotted my friend Jenn from Hello Rigby carrying the Small Carryall Tote.
Not familiar with Cuyana? Cuyana is a female-founded brand that celebrates “fewer, better things.” This is why I’m drawn to the company. I’m constantly striving for quality over quantity when it comes to my closet and sustainability. All of their items are ethically sourced, timeless, and something you will have for years.
Founded on the philosophy of fewer, better, Cuyana encourages customers to purchase fewer but better quality pieces that they will love and treasure for years to come. source
