#LiquidOxygenPartner As a mom of teens, we have been battling acne in our household for what feels like forever. That is until I discovered Liquid Oxygen Skincare. This super easy 3-Step Acne Treatment System from @loveliquidoxygen has become a staple in Ryder’s morning and night routine, and the results we have seen have been out of this world! It’s three
products that work to hydrate the skin, balance pH levels while shrinking and closing pores, and
kills 99.99% of bacteria. Made without harsh ingredients, dermatologist recommended, and FDA approved, this system has been game changing for Ryder’s skin. Shop the skin changing 3-Step system at the link in my bio for your teens to get their
confidence back! 🙌🏼

Come with the girls and I to experience @diormaison and @thelowellhotel Lily of The Valley afternoon tea at @majorelleny, the hotel’s restaurant. 🫖

This elegant experience features Dior’s Lily of the Valley tableware collection and specially crafted confections inspired by Christian Dior’s favorite elements.

The menu includes traditional English tea sandwiches, warm scones with marmalade and Devonshire cream, and French pastries like the “Happiness Pink” lemon curd cake, a nod to Dior’s beloved blush shade. The signature tea, “Jardin Bleu,” is a black tea with notes of rhubarb, wild strawberry, and cornflower, reflecting Dior’s passion for gardens.

The afternoon tea is served from 12:30 to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday! Enjoy!!!

We are a family that needs technology and devices for all sorts of reasons and one thing we can’t have stop our busy days is a low battery. We just started using the @anker_official Charger and Power Bank in our home and it has been a game changer. 💻📱You can charge up to 4 devices and has a real time smart display to show the charge and make sure it’s not overheating. Between headphones, iPhones, laptops, and more we are usually charging four devices at all times. And for when we travel, I never leave home without my Anker Power Bank which can also power up to four devices and has two built in USB-C Cable, one that is retractable so we can bring it anywhere with us and I know our batteries are always full. Click the link in my bio to learn more about Anker and shop these products to keep a full charge for any of your devices!

Unpacking my Whole Foods order as we speak, and this juice is a non negotiable for me every morning, I had to start making double batches because the kids love it too! 🍎🥒🍋🥬As we head into our first official week of the New Year juicing celery, apple, lemon, and cucumber daily offers a wealth of health benefits. This blend is rich in hydration helping to flush out toxins and keep the body well-hydrated. Lemon boosts digestion, while celery’s natural fiber supports gut health. This juice is also excellent for skin health, promoting a glowing complexion and combating signs of aging. Here’s to leveling up your 2025! Cheers friends.

Your sign to take a beach walk with your daughter. 🌊The beach, often bustling in summer, feels like it belongs only to the two of you, a private sanctuary where you can talk, explore, or simply enjoy each other’s company. In the chill of winter, the warmth of your connection shines even brighter, turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable memory. Love you Siella 🫶🏼
