Fashion, Food, + Frivolity for Healthy, Hardworking Women
When I was in junior high, a dear friend imparted one of the best pieces of information to me. Her skin always looked so moisturized and when I asked, she shared her secret with me. I shared this little tidbit of how to use body oil with sensitive skin on my Instagram stories a few months ago and had some replies thanking me for the hint, so I thought it might be worth elaborating upon here as well sharing some of my current favorite oils…
If you don’t remember the story of these pants, these were my $20 bargain find on a sale rack in a very small shop in St-Remy in Provence on our honeymoon. They were more an impulse purchase than anything else and they’re now going into their third season with me, obsessed with them!

Moving on with your life, however, doesn’t mean that you’ve forgotten and it doesn’t mean they aren’t still there with you! With all this in mind, I wanted to share a few things that I do to help maintain that closeness with my dad – especially with Father’s Day this weekend…
