On the Right Foot: Struggling with Small Talk, a Makeshift Jumpsuit, the Hottest Shade of Green & More!

April 5, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

The CDC cleared fully vaccinated people for travel so long as safety precautions remain in place, and we decided to book a trip to Charleston for the end of the month. (Trust me, I definitely recognize the privilege of being able to take a vacation during a pandemic.) We spent time researching to make sure we can still socially distance and dine outdoors in the city, even if current data suggests that vaccinated people can’t carry or spread the virus. I don’t have much of a desire to be indoors anyway after a long Wisconsin winter and am eager for warm-weather strolls, al fresco dining, and taking photos of the city’s architecture.

Why people keep asking which vaccine you got.

I ordered this dress a couple of weeks ago and it finally arrived over the weekend. It was well worth the wait as it’s the best Old Navy item I’ve purchased in a long time. It’s a linen-blend that feels substantial. It runs true to size.

This coverup looks like it could double as a breezy day dress!

Such a sweet bathroom remodel.

The trendiest shade of green right now.

I just ordered this top and these pants to wear together. It’ll have the effect of a jumpsuit, but without the bathroom acrobatics.

Make your second pandemic birthday better than the first!

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
