One new-to-me brand that I’ve recently seen while browsing Nordstrom is Banjanan. Side note: does anyone else sing the brand name to the tune of “Black Betty“, or is that just me? “Black Betty, Banjanan”. Banjanan is a sustainable textile brand by Caroline Weller, producing products ranging from women’s dresses to table linens since 2013….
As I get older, I’m buying less and less jewelry — especially the cheap, fast-fashion kind of my youth. Now I tend to find one or two pieces a year that I can add to my collection. Sure, I still love my fun BaubleBar themed earrings, but I’m gravitating more lately towards pieces from Etsy….
When I look back at the various products I’ve used to remove my makeup over the years, there’s definitely been a large change. In high school, I remember using a washcloth and water (I guess I wasn’t wearing much makeup then since that will take off almost nothing), and then moved onto the Neutrogena Oil-Free…

While you may just think of pearl heels as something to wear on your wedding day, you’ll see the latest styles span to casual sandals or summery wedges, too. They are a great way to add a touch of femininity to any outfit…
Babies are expensive. Period. Luckily, there are tons of easy ways you can save money with a baby before (and after) they are born. I’ve learned about these through my own research, through other online resources, my online Mom groups, and all my IRL Mom friends. Some of these came through pure trial and error…
As part of my “Brand Spotlight” series, I wanted to highlight a new-to-me jewelry brand that has caught my eye lately: Deepa Gurnani.
