Trying to find balance in everything when it feels heavy, but you also have to show up in your daily life as well. Balancing positivity while also managing how I’m feeling - doing things that feel right for now. #findingbalance #balanceinlife

Minnesota 💔 I’m at a loss for words.

Welcome to my messy kitchen where everything needs to be put away, cleaned, or organized. It’s just one of those days where it all seems like it needs to get done. #kitchencleaning #comecleanwithme #millennialsontiktok

This millennial likes to dance, so why not do it for an OOTD?! I’ve been wearing sweats lately (since it’s so cold) and love a comfy set! AND, I washed my hair. A win all around. #millennials #womenintheir30s #womenintheir40s #ootd #outfitsoftheday

This is all of the makeup I use because I get so overwhelmed selecting/buying makeup products for myself. I will continue to use what I know and maybe someday I’ll find a new product to try. #minimalmakeup #makeupproblems #makeup

It’s so easy to focus on what you’re not, but that tends to take away from who you are. Show who you are and remember your skills, talents, and heart. #beyourself❤️ #beyou #selflovejourney

Thank you to the Trader Joe’s employee who gave me flowers today. I guess I needed them and really appreciate the kindness. It made me emotional and also made my day. #traderjoesflowers #kindnessmatters #actsofkindness

Who said a millennial OOTD had to be boring? Haha, I’m in sweats often and need to start showing more of my realistic millennial outfits of the day. #millennials #womenintheir30s #womenintheir40s #ootds #outfitoftoday

These cocoa and cashew butter gluten-free cookies by @Simple Mills are delicious! Why didn’t I try them sooner? They’re not too sweet and I love the chocolate, nutty combo. #glutenfreecookies #glutenfreesnacks #glutenfreedessert

My husband and I have different preferences when it comes to loading the dishwasher. #loadingthedishwasher #marriagelife

One of my goals this year is to enjoy life more and be intentional about it. It’s easy to get caught up in the trivial things, so I’m going to work on being more present. #enjoylifetothefullest #enjoyyourlife

Crafty gals, please let me know your favorite entry level crafts. I say entry level because I’m not super artistic, but I want to try something new! I want crafts that aren’t too messy and I can do them whenever. I will research your suggestions too. #crafttok #craftideas #crafting #craftygirl

Did some post-Christmas clearance shopping at Marshalls and got some good things! I love a good deal (and it’s even better when you have a gift card). #clearancefinds #marshallshaul #christmasclearance #marshallsfinds @Marshalls

This gluten-free/dairy-free dessert tray turned out great for our Christmas gathering. The GF Oreo truffles were gone and people took home the brownies. Makes me happy when the desserts are eaten!! The brownie recipes is from Eat With Clarity. #glutenfreedairyfree #glutenfreedessert #glutenfreebaking #glutenfree #glutenfreelife

I love this thrifted Christmas sweater vest, but at what point do you start to question if you’re more like your mother than you thought? #thriftfinds #christmassweater

Thrifting gals, how do you disinfect thrifted suede sneakers without ruining them? I want to try to clean these, but I am not sure. I’m so excited to wear my new thrifted sneakers!! #thriftedfinds #thriftedshoes #thrifted #sneakersforwomen

Someone else’s success will not take away from your own - especially as you look back and reflect on your year. It’s easy to compare and feel sad, and maybe it has been a tough year, but remember that your success will come! Your story is your story! #successfulmindset #successful #successmotivation

I truly enjoy giving genuine compliments to strangers. Sometimes you never know when someone needs to hear something kind - you gotta tell them they look cute! #compliments #complimentingstrangers #kindnessisfree

I finished 2 psychological thrillers recently and wanted to review them. I loved Hidden Pictures and want to find more books like it!! #bookreview #bookreviews #psychologicalthriller #readingrecs

My hair is the healthiest it’s ever been. I have thick, curly hair and I feel like I’ve found what works for my hair! I use @Acure clarifying shampoo and the ultra hydrating shampoo and conditioner. I also use @Moroccanoil smoothing lotion for when I blow dry my hair. #haircareproducts #healthyhaircare #healthyhair #haircareproduct

This is my wrapping Christmas presents setup for those wondering! You can wrap presents as a side hustle by making it your own! It can be as simple as you want it to be - do what works for you and your community! Happy wrapping! #wrappinggifts #wrappingpresents #christmaswrapping

I survived. The timing of my period and cramps is always the worst. I do not understand, haha. #periodcramps #periods #cramps

I have wrapped presents as a little side hustle a couple years in a row. This year I decided to help a mom out and wrap her presents again. I have wrapped so many gifts at this point, haha, and have a little system. #wrappinggifts #wrappingpresents #christmaswrapping

Replying to @Katelyn | ☕️✏️✨ I love how so many people are interested in wrapping presents as a side hustle. I tried to answer as many questions as I could. #wrappingpresents #wrappinggifts #christmaswrapping

My dog somehow knows when the camera comes out. #dogmomlife #dogmom #dogs #ilovemydog

Seasonal depression has already started a bit - I’m trying to be a little more intentional early on with how I approach the winter blues. I want to do more movement and screen-less activities. Please let me know if you have suggestions too! #seasonaldepression #winterblues

I found a delicious and easy gluten-free brownie recipe! It’s by Eat With Clarity. This recipe can be made dairy-free as well! I used brown sugar, didn’t have cocoa powder, and added a little salt to the top when they were done! My husband ate these brownies with caramel. SO GOOD! #brownies #glutenfreedessert #glutenfreebrownies #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreebaking

It’s crazy how handwriting can bring you back to a memory! This card’s handwriting looked a lot like my 5th grade teacher’s - which is funny to remember. Thank you @Canyon Bakehouse for the coupons! I am so grateful!! #memoriesunlocked #glutenfreebread

I need your sweater recommendations! I’m trying to add some sweaters to my closet and be intentional about them! I’d love to know what sweaters you love! #sweatersforwomen #sweaters #sweaterrecommendations #clothesforwomen

These are my favorite gluten-free Christmas dessert recipes! Most of them are pretty easy to make and all of them are tasty! You can find the GF recipes at the creator’s website: 1. Mama Knows Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies 2. This Vivacious Life Christmas Crack 3. Just What We Eat Oreo Truffles 4. @Jenna | Butternut Bakery Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls 5. @Meaningfuleats Chocolate Chip Cookies #glutenfree #glutenfreedessert #christmasdessert #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreelife

I got to try @Crumb Conscious Bakery gluten-free cookies and I’m so happy I found her! If you’re local to Minnesota and gluten-free, check out these baked goods! Her gluten-free cookie flavors are unique and tasty, and I would get them again! #glutenfree #glutenfreecookies #glutenfreeminnesota

Winter prep is in full swing. I needed to make sure I got the winter gear and outside items ready because we’re supposed to be getting some cold weather soon. And if you live in MN, you know that it’s never too early to find your winter items! @culture POP soda #winterprep #winteressentials #winteritems #winteriscoming

I’m thinking about sharing ideas for the holidays, but I’d love to know your thoughts! What is helpful for you to see online during the holiday season especially when you’re on a budget? Do you like affordable guides or ideas? Let me know your thoughts! #holidayideas #ballinonabudget

My husband and I set a budget to donate items to the local food pantry. I know times are tough - we get it. Our heart is to try to be generous with the little we have and do it because we care! We hope people are blessed with food!! Sift Gluten-Free Bakery in Minneapolis is looking for gluten-free items all November long. #foodbank #fooddonation #foodpantry #generosity #foodinsecurity

I got some gluten-free period treats/snacks that I’ve really enjoyed recently. They’re all so good especially for the time of the month! Chocolate plus a salty snack! @Simple Mills @Catalina Crunch Chocolove Chocolate #periodsnack #glutenfreesnacks #glutenfree #glutenfreelife #glutenfreetreats

This is the last part of the Millennial Mess series!! Style is definitely what you make it! As millennials, we have been through it fashion wise. I want to challenge you to elevate what you have, try something new, and make your clothes feel like YOU! Start small and see what happens! And, I’ll keep posting my own closet finds as I continue figuring out my own style! #millennials #womenintheir30s #womenintheir40s #styletok #styletip

Went thrifting recently and intentionally looked for things I needed or wanted! I ended up getting some fall/winter clothes and a couple of Christmas items! I genuinely enjoy thrifting. #thriftfinds #thrifttok #thrifthaul #thriftedclothes

Replying to @Margo | Chronically Fabulous I shared about couch friends and felt like this comment represented my thoughts well! Couch friends in adulthood is about meeting people where they’re at and simply doing life together without huge expectations. We need simple, intentional connections in our adult friendships. #adultfriendships #adultfriendship #friendship

This is an outfit I would wear to a nicer dinner as a millennial figuring out my style! It’s also comfortable. Tried to find something I’d actually wear and thought I’d share it! And I’ve shared everything in ShopMy as well! @Old Navy @Gap #millennials #womenintheir30s #womenintheir40s #styletok #dinneroutfit

Adults benefit from couch friends or simple gatherings in order to genuinely connect. Often times we over-complicate our gatherings when people really just want to be met where they’re at. Simplify in order to connect! #adultfriendships #friendships #gatherings

I’m not a big pop drinker anymore, but I’d have more of these sodas by @Spindrift!! I want to try more of the flavors now that I got this one. They’re not too sweet and I loved the flavor! Thought I’d share! #sodaalternative #soda

I know people are struggling as it is. My empath heart hurts seeing how so many people will be affected or without food. My husband and I are giving back to our local pantry and I’m sharing because I want to help more - we don’t have much to give, but we are going to try.

These shoes are perfect and easy to pair with multiple outfits for millennials figuring out their style! I think the price point for all of them is good as well! @Old Navy @DSW @PUMA #shoesforwomen #bootsforwomen #millennials #womenintheir30s #womenintheir40s

It’s okay to say you can’t afford something, you’re saving, or you’re trying to be financially smart. It’s not easy - you don’t have to keep up with other people! #livewithinyourmeans #financiallyresponsible #transparency #savingmoney

Fun times are had when you’re in your Luteal phase AND are also a milliennial woman who doesn’t know what she wants in her life (or closet). #lutealphase #millennial #30s #thirties #womenintheir30s
