#SponsoredByGSK As we help get Ryder ready for college and close out his high school chapter, I’ve been trying to prioritize meaningful time together—and the important conversations that come with it.

We recently sat down to watch Pretty Hurts; a Lifetime Original Movie brought to you by GSK. The film shows just how quickly life can change when meningococcal disease, also known as meningitis, strikes close to home. And, while it’s uncommon, it’s a serious illness, of which teens and young adults ages 16- to 23- years old are one of the age groups at increased risk.

This one really resonated with me. I walked away empowered to ask questions with Ryder’s doctor, and best of all, we got to spend quality time together.

Parents, please @Ask2BSure. Talk to your teen’s doctor about meningitis risk and vaccination. You can stream Pretty Hurts now at MyLifetime.com/movies/Pretty-Hurts.

Giving you 5 reasons to go on a girls trip to @fairmontmayakoba because it was just too good 🌊🐠☀️🕶️

Pool/beach – Spend your days lounging on powdery white sand or in a cabana poolside catching up with your best friends under the Mexican sun.

The Spa – Indulge in luxurious treatments at the spa, the perfect way to unwind, recharge, and feel your absolute best. I had a 90 minute cocoa wrap and massage and it was pure bliss!

The Food – From fresh ceviche by the beach to elegant dinners overlooking the lagoon, every meal is a celebration of flavors you’ll be talking about for weeks.

Nonstop Laughs – Whether it’s sipping cocktails by the pool, late night chats on your terrace, every moment is filled with joy and connection.

Endless Activities – From biking through lush paths to paddle boarding, cenote visits, yoga and exploring nearby Playa del Carmen, there’s no shortage of adventure for your besties!

#SponsoredByDisney To celebrate a successful school year, we planned a full Disney on Broadway magical itinerary. @disneyonbroadway! First we headed up to Times Square, taking the subway is an experience in itself. We stopped at the Museum of Broadway and then we headed to @thelionking. We loved this show so much, the music and costumes are always so iconic! After the show, we made our way to the Disney store and then the TKTS red steps to take in the lights of Times Square. If you’re in the city and need a magical activity, head to the link in my bio to get tickets for The Lion King on Broadway!

Looking for a NYC beach staycation?! 🌊☀️Last week, the girls and I boarded the #NYC Ferry from Wall Street and arrived at @therockawayhotel. The hotel was such a vibe—and we had the most amazing bungalow suite. We spent the next two days between the beach and pool, had dinner on the rooftop and caught the most gorgeous sunset. It was truly the most perfect NYC beach staycation and I highly recommend you add this to your bucket list this summer!

@Hint has 0 sugar, 0 sweeteners, 0 calories and so much flavor. I picked up all my fav flavors at @Target and made sure my fridge and cooler are stocked with a full hydration station for my family to keep cool all season long.

Checking off my summer bucket list and keeping my wellness on point 🌞✨ I used to deal with frequent heartburn that would keep me from fully enjoying travel plans and beach days. But @nexium24HR_us has truly been a game changer! Now, with just one pill a day for 14 days, I can start seeing results in as little as 1–3 days. Since I was experiencing heartburn symptoms more than twice a week, this preventative approach has made such a difference. Nexium® 24HR doesn’t just treat—it helps prevent frequent heartburn before it even starts, so I don’t have to miss a thing. 🙌

Let’s do a get un-ready with me! Last week, I attended the @LifetimeTV premiere of Pretty Hurts, brought to you by GSK. Airing Saturday, June 28th at 8/7c on Lifetime, this movie is about a high school senior who enters a beauty pageant to win scholarship money for college, when her friend suddenly contracts meningococcal disease, known as meningitis, an uncommon but potentially serious illness, prompting her to use her platform for awareness.

As a mom in the #Ask2BSure Mom Community, I’m proud to share this important message, in hopes that you #Ask2BSure about meningitis risks and vaccination at your teen’s next doctor’s visit. You can learn more at Ask2BSure.com

#ad Today I’m getting creative with my daughter’s camp labels with the help of @cricut EasyPress Mini. I have been obsessed with Cricut machines and the Cricut Heat Press is making all of my labeling not only simpler but the process is actually really fun. This is typically a mundane task that has to get done but ever since I’ve played around with the Heat Press, I have been looking for more labels to get to personalize and be crafty with. Excited to share that from June 8th-21st, you can shop all Cricut Heat Presses for up to 70% off! 🔥 I love how these turned out and will be using this all summer long to have a fun and creative way to keep my family organized. 💬 Comment CRICUT below and I’ll DM you all the details!
