Lizzie And Jane

We had such a nice weekend even with a few unexpec We had such a nice weekend even with a few unexpected bumps & I’m more bummed than usual to see it end. We really try to take walks into town & around our neighborhood daily (definitely doesn’t happen) & especially on the weekends (usually does happen & it’s always a highlight!)! This morning we had scones & coffee on our walk & I wore this new favorite sweater that I would recommended 10 times out of 10 ( it’s made of recycled cashmere!)! Oh, & these leggings- also made of recycled materials (over 50%)! What’s your favorite thing to wear (leggings or joggers for me!) or do on the weekends?

My two favorite people 💕 & my favorite color 💚 a couple of weeks ago we decide to paint Joe’s office & I love how it turned  out! He actually picked this color, too, but it does look like something I would pick. Green has always been my favorite color but I did used to get very specific about the shades! What’s Your favorite color?! #fixerupper  #greeni
In case you missed my stories, @beautycounter laun In case you missed my stories, @beautycounter launched their first clean deodorant yesterday! I’ve been a clean deo convert for the last few years & have tried a lot & liked a few & this is my favorite by far! It comes in 3 scents, is sustainable (recyclable & refillable), effectively neutralizes odor, & absorbs moisture with none of the shady stuff! If you haven’t already, consider switching to a clean deodorant (or at the very least, ditching the aluminum in antiperspirants!)! Check back tomorrow for a fun giveaway I’ll be hosting in honor of the clean deos!

*Not from today* Amelia & I were at CHOP by 8:30 t *Not from today* Amelia & I were at CHOP by 8:30 this morning to get another test done to try to rule out yet another thing that could be causing her chronic cough. Fingers crossed the results are what we’re hoping for 💕 She just is so incredible & brave (she was so nervous & sat in the chair anyway & said, “my mom says I can do anything I put my mind to...” ANYTHING, baby girl.) & resilient (So many tests. We were just here & will be again 🙈) & smart (she was talking to her tech about non-Newtonian liquids). I know so many kids are so many of these things, too, but she’s mine & I’m. Just. So. Proud. I’m SO grateful that I get to be by her side through all of this & I count our blessings every single night. #gratitudeattitude #hemifacialmicrosomia #youcandohardthings #youcandoanything #sharegoodness #motherhoodintheraw
My “whys.” Why I started reading labels, chec My “whys.” Why I started reading labels,  checking ingredients, & learning a #LTKunder100 s much as I can on my journey to go clean. I’ve been making clean swaps slowly over the last 5+ years as I’ve learned little by little how unregulated our industries are from the food we eat to the products we use on our bodies & in our homes daily. But one day last spring I read an article that talked about discovering talc in various brands of children’s makeup (& plenty of women’s brands, too) & that sent me over the edge. I threw out every last piece of makeup & skincare I had that wasn’t clean & started over. And then I signed up to be a consultant with BeautyCounter. Obviously, I’m still building up my product stash & it’s nowhere near where it used to be (it’s ok to start small!)... but I know the products I have are safe. For me, for my kids, & for the earth. And that means a lot to me. ✨What’s one thing that you want to replace this month?!✨ We’re offering new clients or emails 20% off your first order right now 😊🙌🏻 Also, our clean deodorants- 5 years in the making!- are launching tomorrow! They’re GOOD 😉 Stay tuned for a giveaway! http://liketk.it/35KD5 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #LTKshoecrush #betterbeauty #LTKsustainablestyle #sustainablestyle #patagonia #monochrome
Just a quick sale alert! These ballet flats are un Just a quick sale alert! These ballet flats are under $50 in 3 colors right now! I’m sure they won’t last long- they are probably some of the most comfortable flats I’ve ever worn (next to the Day Glove), feel super stylish & Parisian, & are so classic they’ll be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. I highly recommend them! I take my usual size :) Also, this lipstick is a new favorite. It’s a really pretty orange-red that reminds me of the old Nars color everyone used to wear (except this is clean!)! This is also 20% off right now!  http://liketk.it/35mdh #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKshoecrush #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert #everlane #LTKsustainablestyle #sustainablestyle #balletflats #betterbeauty
Hope your Saturday was as relaxing as this guy’s Hope your Saturday was as relaxing as this guy’s! We went for a walk, played at the park, had a simple dinner, & a fun dessert that Amelia (who is very into serious baking right now & thinks everything has to be proved & cooled thanks to @britishbakeoff) & Joe made 🧁 Also, anyone have any good book recs? I got a few chapters into my current book & put it in the return (to library) pile- it was SO sad! Tried a new author & not for me. I like light & airy- think Hallmark, @jennycolganbooks, etc ❤️

Holiday Gift Guide for Her & Giving Back

December 4, 2020

Pajamas (pretty sure Joe got me these already- the best pajamas!), Sugar Body Scrub (order under Brittany Monroe & “Black Friday Sale” Pop Up at checkout to be entered into a giveaway!), Slippers (THESE!!), earrings (I have a few of her pieces & I love each piece so much!), masks (I got these for myself because they are my favorite masks), joggers (also love these and these!), art (I love all her pieces, especially her boats, flowers, birds, & anything coastal!), glasses (& these!), weekly calendar, taper candles (also love the navy!), headband, book (just bought this for myself but sent Joe this one to get me!)

This year looks so different for all of us and there’s honestly not much that I want. Since becoming a Beautycounter consultant, I’ve been keeping up with my skincare routine way more than I used to and therefore, there aren’t as many beauty products on my list… not to mention I’ve been wearing way less makeup this year! However, I also love to indulge in any kind of self care so while there isn’t anything that I need, clean beauty and/or makeup always have a place on my list! Also, if you’re interested, in honor of #GivingTuesday, I am donating 50% of my commissions from December 1-11 to Child Life at CHOP, plus Joe and I will match the donation up to $200. Please consider purchasing from me and supporting my small business as well as donating to our favorite children’s hospital! Also, if you order by tomorrow under my “Black Friday Sale” Pop Up at checkout, you’ll be entered into a giveaway for your choice of 1 of 4 products!

Shop clean beauty:

I do have a good bit of home items on my wish list. There are also many items that I actually need such as new cookware (but I’m being super picky about it- it has to be safe stainless steel and NOT nonstick!), dishes, towels, baskets for our bathroom upstairs for storage purposes, etc. Also, we have been doing a ton of research on air purifiers recently and I think we may get a good one for our first floor and that will be a big part of my gift. I meant to buy these taper candles during the Cyber Monday sale but I didn’t get to it… but I just think they’re beautiful!

Shop home:

I still love all things blue & white and rattan or wicker and I almost certainly will love anything green. And I’ve been getting more and more into art these last few years and love the idea of starting a collection. I’m already compiling a list of favorite artists (Blakely Made, Clare Elsaesser, Mary Maguire) and though I currently don’t have any originals, I’ve been at least trying to make sure I get high quality prints and purchase directly from the artist because #smallbusinesslove.

And I LIVE in lounge clothes so they are always on my list. And pretty dresses, which I LOVE but don’t wear nearly as often as I’d like. I really love Everlane (per my usual) for their thoughtful, quality, and sustainable gifts for men and women and Reformation for sweats and gorgeous floral pieces. I need a new pair of joggers (also love these French Terry joggers!) so I may be making that purchase sooner rather than later.

Shop sustainable clothing:

Also, I just discovered this morning that our tea kettle is rusted (which is lovely because I have no idea how long we’ve been using it like this- the inside of the spout is rusted so it’s very hard to see!) so looks like a new tea kettle is on my list now. I typically like a stovetop one but recently read that an electric tea kettle actually saves electricity so, maybe one of each?!
