So you knowwwwwww I love @juvaskinandlasercenter &

So you knowwwwwww I love @juvaskinandlasercenter & especially love @drjuliyafisher (who PS is a double board-certified dermatologist & just an all-around wonderful person) … & I loveeeeeeeee @sofwavemed so it was a no-brainer to do #sofwave on my arms for the 1st time at JUVA. I have been doing Sofwave for a few years on my face & neck to get ahead of anti-aging etc, BUT I saw such good results on the arms, I was neeeeeding to try it. I’m so impressed with the #BOLD results I see from it.

Sofwave is an award-winning in-office, non-invasive ultrasound treatment that stimulates collagen, elastin, & hyaluronic acid, using SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. Collagen begins to diminish, starting in our 20s. Sofwave’s BOLD Technology heats the dermis layer at the right temperature, triggering a healing response that increases collagen & elastin in the skin, which is necessary for younger-looking skin.

Sofwave is FDA-cleared to:
-Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
-Improve skin laxity of the upper arms
-Lift the neck tissue
-Lift the eyebrow
-Lift the lax skin under the chin & along the jawline
Reduce the appearance of cellulite

#Sofwave is the fave treatment of so many celebs, drs, etc for good reason. Once we finished the treatment, we did a super quick CO2 laser on my scar (from the mole removal at the beginning of the year) between that & the #morpheus8 (3 treatments of each) the scar outline should be soooooo much better. I always get excited for my next appointment at @juvaskinandlasercenter because not only is Dr. Fisher AWESOME, but she knows her stuff. I always trust her plan & recommendations for me. Have you tried Sofwave?🖤

We had ourselves quite the #sundayfunday at #cherr

We had ourselves quite the #sundayfunday at #cherryhill mall hosted at the new @kendrascott store for a fun color bar party. You can do the party for a birthday, girls day etc - it was so cute & fun. They told me to have the girls each bring a bestie, & we can all design a piece to take home. We all ended up doing different variations of the Elisa - such a classic & perfect tween/teen gift right now. The girls absolutely loved designing their own piece & shopping around the store - & we love that @kendrascott prioritizes philanthropy - such a wonderful company. Thanks so much for having us & we can’t wait to come back.🖤

💉🩸 TW … Come with me to get Morpheus8 at @

💉🩸 TW … Come with me to get Morpheus8 at @evolve_medspa in Old Bridge (their gorgeous new location). I did Morpheus a few years ago, & wanted to do it again as the results are awesome.

So first lemme tell you all about Morpheus8. It combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with/microneedling to deeply penetrate the skin, targeting deeper layers for maximum results. This dual technology stimulates collagen production & remodels the tissue, helping to firm, lift, & improve skin texture. I had a numbing cream applied & you sit with that for an HOUR to make get you nice & comfortable.

Now the awesome benefits of Morpheus8:
-Skin Tightening: Reduces sagging and improves skin elasticity.
-Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and wrinkles by rejuvenating collagen.
-Improved Skin Tone & Texture: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and uneven
skin texture.
-Contouring: Provides a subtle lifting effect, helping contour areas such as the jawline and cheeks.

You can do Morpheus8 on your full face, under eyes, forehead jawline & neck. You can do your stomach also which I have seen lots of amazing results from.
Face: Full face, under eyes, forehead, jawline, and neck.

I opted to add PRP to my treatment & they use that liquid gold to help your face heal & all the benefits it gives & of course we put that extra right in the scalp for hair stimulation.

I love that it is minimal downtime & very quick recovery time compared to traditional skin-tightening treatments. There are also adjustable treatment depths make it versatile for various concerns & areas depending on what your goals are. Andddddd the results are long-lasting with continued improvement over months as collagen builds. They recommended 3 treatments about a month apart, I cannot wait for next month.

Andria did my treatment, she went above & beyond to make sure I was comfortable & explained everything so well. @evolve_medspa gave me a code to share, JENNA20 which gives you 20% off your 1st treatment at any Evolve Med Spa location (cannot be combined with other offers or discounts). Have you tried Morpehus8?🖤

Had the most amazing night at the @amazon Holiday

Had the most amazing night at the @amazon Holiday Soirée yesterday. It took place on the Highline & we got to see all the fab gifts you can shop from #amazon this holiday season. It was indoor & outdoor, lots of fun stations to visit & truly magical. Check out my stories today for some other highlights of the night.🖤

We haven’t been to #animalkingdom since 2018 so

We haven’t been to #animalkingdom since 2018 so it was so nice to be back & exploring with the girls being older. We loved the safari & the rides - it can be a full day or half day park - depending on what you make of your day. Last time we did a full day & this time we did a half day so we can pack & rest before leaving the following day. I love Pandora it’s just so beautiful. What’s your fave thing at Animal Kingdom?🖤

Hollywood Studios is one of our fave parks at @wal

Hollywood Studios is one of our fave parks at @waltdisneyworld - especially since they added the Toy Story & Star Wars sections. We tried Round Up Rodeo BBQ for dinner that opened last year - OMGGGGG was so good! My kids were in brisket heaven. Toy Story land is always so impressive, the way it was designed & all the details, we love it so much. I also love that the Muppets 3D show is the same one from when I was a kid, it’s always a must-do for us. The girls love going on Tower of Terror too, just so much to do there. What’s your fave ride at #hollywoodstudios ?! Mine may be Rise - so good!🖤

Second park we did at @waltdisneyworld was Epcot (

Second park we did at @waltdisneyworld was Epcot (we usually do MK, Epcot, HS & MK again but this time we did AK since it was my nephews first visit). We loveeeee going during Food & Wine. Check out my stories today to see everything we ate & drank around the world. The girls all-time favorite ride, Test Track is being reimagined, but we still had a very full day enjoying Epcot (they usually like to do Test Track at least 5x 🤣).

What is your favorite thing to eat/drink at Epcot? The Frozen Cosmo in France is alwaysssss on my list & this year they had a short rib that me & the girls all got - it was incredibly delicious. I forgot to take pics of everything my BIL got, he really ate a lot of cool stuff, hubby too (hubby always gets the escargot pastry in France - I cannot do it but he loves it). More to come this week of our trip (& also cannot wait to share the @clubwyndham property we stayed at).

We walked close to 20k steps a day & it felt like nothing for me while there but this week I am definitely exhausted while catching up.🖤

We are baaaaaack from another family trip to @walt

We are baaaaaack from another family trip to @waltdisneyworld ….. but this time my sister, BIL & nephew came too for his 1st trip there. We have gone to @waltdisneyworld almost every year since the girls were toddlers. Last year we did @disneyland & @disneycruiseline instead of WDW, which are also just incredible. I have a lot of tips, tricks, packing ideas coming up - just things to make the trip easier that I’ve learned along the way.

Planning a @waltdisneyworld trip can be overwhelming (& I know it isn’t cheap but there are definitely ways to make it more cost effective). If you have any @waltdisneyworld questions, feel free to comment or DM me so I make sure to include it.

The best part of a Disney trip for me is the outfit planning. My MK outfit is @wildrichkids , @popflex_active , @hoka (these & my @on sneakers are the only sneakers I’ll wear at the parks), @kendrascott Disney necklaces (cutest ever), @stoneyclover & of course my @shopdisneyparks ears.

I have been a #disneycreator since 2019 & it’s just a dream come true to work with them, exciting @disney things happening soon & cannot wait to share.🖤

#ad I am partnering with @TheUnisom this holiday s

Wow Halloween is overrrrr. I took the day off soci

Wow Halloween is overrrrr. I took the day off social media to be fully present with my girls. Say hi to Taylor & Olivia. I am class Mom for both girls, so I went from one Halloween party to the next - quick break at home, then trick or treating (10k steps later) …. was the most fun, exhausting (but worth it) day.

My youngest was supposed to be something totally different for Halloween & Wednesday night I heard her tell her sister that she hates her costume (that she picked in August). She never asks for anything or complains so I told her no promises but I’ll see what I can do. Sissy had the shirt, I had the glasses & hat, & @amazon saved the day with one day shipping for the tights & shorts. Mama made it happen 💪🏻 she was so happy & appreciative, my sweet girl.

What’s your fave Halloween candy? Mine is def @butterfinger , as well as @reeses & @twix oh yes & @swedishfish .😝🖤

Come with me to get #traptox aka #barbietox at @ae

Come with me to get #traptox aka #barbietox at @aestheticanj . This was a treatment I wanted/needed for a very long time & finally did it. This form of #botox basically relaxes the trapezius muscles, making the tension in that area so much better. I work so much on my phone & computer that I have soooooo much pain & stress in these muscles (even the Doctor was like whoa). It can take 3 weeks to kick in, the first time you do it, it can last 3 months & then after that it can last up to 6 months. It’s also called Barbietox because it can cause a slimming effect in the neck/shoulder area.

Every headache I get is tension related, so I am veryyyyy excited for this. Have you ever done this treatment?!🖤

Over the weekend, my family threw a retirement par

Over the weekend, my family threw a retirement party for my beautiful Mama. I LOVE LOVE LOVE planning parties, especially if it’s for her because no one deserves it more. I decided on @mollypitcherinn in Red Bank because we love Red Bank & also love @mollypitcherinn (fun fact that was my first overnight media type trip manyyyyyy years ago). The decor is so beautiful, the views of the Navesink River are gorgeous, it’s just awesome there. The food was SO good, today I literally watched my Mom’s friends call her one by one, complimenting the food & the cake (success of a party ☑️ ). My normal cake girl moved, so I used @cakes_di_licious that my bestie had used & recommended - sooo yummy. For party fun, we had @forevergolden.nj for permanent jewelry. My Mom’s friends all got bracelets, it was something different to do & I loved that they all got a special keepsake. I got a hand chain which I am telling you, obsessed is not the word. All of my friends are asking me how I am going to keep this on & not have it drive me crazy - well if it does, she can always add a clasp on in her store so its all good.

My Mom is absolutely everything to me, I call her 10x a day, text her all day, she is always there for me, & the best Grandma on earthhhhhh to the girls & my nephew - so any reason to celebrate her, we are!

P.S. My younger daughter has been directing me lately to shoot video/photos of her, from music videos, to strutting her model walk, I cannot TAKE HER. So she insisted on me getting some shots of her vision of the gorgeous views at the hotel. I wonder where she gets this behavior from?

P.P.S My outfit is linked on LTK - the skirt I had planned on did NOT work so @klassy & my fave pants from @amazonfashion saved the day.🖤

It has been a crazy week here, but I have one thought going into the weekend #letsgoyankees 🖤

When in @bermuda , you must visit the @crystalcave

When in @bermuda , you must visit the @crystalcavesbermuda ! We docked in Bermuda for 2 days while onboard the #libertyoftheseas & this was on our must-do list. So pretty & so awesome to learn about as well (especially how they were discovered). Bermuda was so beautiful, we definitely want to go back.🖤

If you are looking for something fun to do for Hal

If you are looking for something fun to do for Halloween with the fam, check out Night of Frights at @thehistoricvillageatallaire . We were looking for something spookier than the previous stuff we had done, but not terrifying (I’d for sure faint). This was exactlyyyyy what we were looking for. There is a sign letting you know when you are heading for the scarier parts (which for us were fine but you have to know your kid). I would say age 8 & up for the scarier parts, but the rest is family friendly. I cannot believe Halloween is almost here.🖤

💉 Warning 💉in case you don’t like needles.

💉 Warning 💉in case you don’t like needles. I just finished 3 rounds of PRP for my under eyes & scalp at @juvaskinandlasercenter with the fab @drjuliyafisher & @whosthatnursee . I did 3 treatments, a month a 🥲apart & so excited to see my under eyes come to life.

The process is simple. First you get numbing cream, then a blood draw. While you are numbing, they process your blood to get that liquid gold separated. They process that & then inject it back into your under eye (bonus when they have extra to use in your scalp).

The benefits of this are improving the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the under-eye skin. You are also improving dark circles, fine lines, & hollowness. It also helps to stimulate collagen production.

I love @juvaskinandlasercenter so much - they talk me through everything & recommend things based on my goals for my skin. Next we are working on scar improvement using laser treatment so stay tuned for that. @juvaskinandlasercenter is celebrating their re-opening next week & can’t wait to see the updated space.🖤

Slow weekends are rare for us but sometimes so nee

Slow weekends are rare for us but sometimes so needed. Friday we went to hibachi with my sisters family, Saturday my parents came over & then we all went to my sister’s house. The girls had a sleepover with their Aunt & Sunday we all went to a farm (@carms_farm is new & was so nice - all of the animals are beautiful & very well taken care of). We saw some friends in-between & got some stuff done around the house. We neverrrrrr have weekends like this, we are always running from one thing to the next, this was a rare change of pace.

Friday was unexpectedly chaotic, & a bit crazy (check my TT to see what I mean) but wow the amount of texts I got from people in my personal life, DMs from people who have similar issues, was overwhelming. I feel for all of you so much & trust me I have been there.

This week is going to be back to our regular scheduled chaos & cannot wait!🖤

<<MAMA TALK>> This week we were supposed to be tra

<<MAMA TALK>> This week we were supposed to be traveling on a cruise for a family wedding & then we heard about Hurricane Milton. We were getting so concerned (my husband grew up in Florida, & most of my family lives there, so we are well-versed in Florida hurricane season). We decided to monitor the storm & hope for the best.

We had to decide the night that it was hitting what to do, as it would be our only chance to get a refund/credit without penalty given the circumstances. Flights were getting cancelled left & right. We decided it was the most safe option for our family to not go. The storm maps we were seeing were showing it hitting much more south than we thought it would, & there were awful tornados hitting the areas we were going. My girls were absolutely freaking out about flying & cruising in possible bad weather. They are expert travelers as we travel so much, none of us are generally scared of flying, cruising nothing, & it killed me seeing the uncertainness in their sweet faces. My husband is the most non-alarmist laid back guy (thank goodness because im the crazy Type A) & he was very concerned. We knew we would be disappointing family by not going. We felt sick to our stomachs having to make this decision, so must stress & anxiety.

In the end, we made the right one for our family. Traveling in potentially hazardous, dangerous weather was not worth the risk. My point is, MOM & DAD know whats best. You live life for the family you created, & live life making the best decisions for them, day in & day out. No matter what anyone on the outside says or thinks. That family you made is everythinggggggg. If people are angry with you for making choices you see best for your family, it says a lot more about them than it does about you. On a much better note, thank GOODNESS the hurricane was not at the levels they were saying & made the impact that we thought it would make. I pray everyone is ok & that is the END of storms for the year. So heartbreaking to see all the devastation & damage from these back to back storms. I hug my babies a little extra tight knowing we did the right thing for our girls & always will put them first.🖤

I had the privilege of attending the @goodhousekee

I had the privilege of attending the @goodhousekeeping 115th Anniversary celebratory event yesterday at @hearst tower - one of the most gorgeous buildings in the city. I was in the company of such wonderful people & it was the most perfect day. The Good Housekeeping Seal is the gold standard when sharing & recommending products & their labs (which we were able to tour) were so innovative & so cool to see in person. Here’s to another 115 years of #goodhousekeeping #ghseal115 🖤

So you knowwwwwww I love @juvaskinandlasercenter &

So you knowwwwwww I love @juvaskinandlasercenter & especially love @drjuliyafisher (who PS is a double board-certified dermatologist & just an all-around wonderful person) … & I loveeeeeeeee @sofwavemed so it was a no-brainer to do #sofwave on my arms for the 1st time at JUVA. I have been doing Sofwave for a few years on my face & neck to get ahead of anti-aging etc, BUT I saw such good results on the arms, I was neeeeeding to try it. I’m so impressed with the #BOLD results I see from it.

Sofwave is an award-winning in-office, non-invasive ultrasound treatment that stimulates collagen, elastin, & hyaluronic acid, using SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. Collagen begins to diminish, starting in our 20s. Sofwave’s BOLD Technology heats the dermis layer at the right temperature, triggering a healing response that increases collagen & elastin in the skin, which is necessary for younger-looking skin.

Sofwave is FDA-cleared to:
-Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
-Improve skin laxity of the upper arms
-Lift the neck tissue
-Lift the eyebrow
-Lift the lax skin under the chin & along the jawline
Reduce the appearance of cellulite

#Sofwave is the fave treatment of so many celebs, drs, etc for good reason. Once we finished the treatment, we did a super quick CO2 laser on my scar (from the mole removal at the beginning of the year) between that & the #morpheus8 (3 treatments of each) the scar outline should be soooooo much better. I always get excited for my next appointment at @juvaskinandlasercenter because not only is Dr. Fisher AWESOME, but she knows her stuff. I always trust her plan & recommendations for me. Have you tried Sofwave?🖤

We had ourselves quite the #sundayfunday at #cherr

We had ourselves quite the #sundayfunday at #cherryhill mall hosted at the new @kendrascott store for a fun color bar party. You can do the party for a birthday, girls day etc - it was so cute & fun. They told me to have the girls each bring a bestie, & we can all design a piece to take home. We all ended up doing different variations of the Elisa - such a classic & perfect tween/teen gift right now. The girls absolutely loved designing their own piece & shopping around the store - & we love that @kendrascott prioritizes philanthropy - such a wonderful company. Thanks so much for having us & we can’t wait to come back.🖤

-Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and wrinkles by rejuvenating collagen.
-Improved Skin Tone & Texture: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and uneven

-Contouring: Provides a subtle lifting effect, helping contour areas such as the jawline and cheeks.

You can do Morpheus8 on your full face, under eyes, forehead jawline & neck. You can do your stomach also which I have seen lots of amazing results from.

We haven’t been to #animalkingdom since 2018 so it was so nice to be back & exploring with the girls being older. We loved the safari & the rides - it can be a full day or half day park - depending on what you make of your day. Last time we did a full day & this time we did a half day so we can pack & rest before leaving the following day. I love Pandora it’s just so beautiful. What’s your fave thing at Animal Kingdom?🖤

Hollywood Studios is one of our fave parks at @waltdisneyworld - especially since they added the Toy Story & Star Wars sections. We tried Round Up Rodeo BBQ for dinner that opened last year - OMGGGGG was so good! My kids were in brisket heaven. Toy Story land is always so impressive, the way it was designed & all the details, we love it so much. I also love that the Muppets 3D show is the same one from when I was a kid, it’s always a must-do for us. The girls love going on Tower of Terror too, just so much to do there. What’s your fave ride at #hollywoodstudios ?! Mine may be Rise - so good!🖤

Second park we did at @waltdisneyworld was Epcot (

Second park we did at @waltdisneyworld was Epcot (we usually do MK, Epcot, HS & MK again but this time we did AK since it was my nephews first visit). We loveeeee going during Food & Wine. Check out my stories today to see everything we ate & drank around the world. The girls all-time favorite ride, Test Track is being reimagined, but we still had a very full day enjoying Epcot (they usually like to do Test Track at least 5x 🤣).

What is your favorite thing to eat/drink at Epcot? The Frozen Cosmo in France is alwaysssss on my list & this year they had a short rib that me & the girls all got - it was incredibly delicious. I forgot to take pics of everything my BIL got, he really ate a lot of cool stuff, hubby too (hubby always gets the escargot pastry in France - I cannot do it but he loves it). More to come this week of our trip (& also cannot wait to share the @clubwyndham property we stayed at).

We walked close to 20k steps a day & it felt like nothing for me while there but this week I am definitely exhausted while catching up.🖤

We are baaaaaack from another family trip to @walt

We are baaaaaack from another family trip to @waltdisneyworld ….. but this time my sister, BIL & nephew came too for his 1st trip there. We have gone to @waltdisneyworld almost every year since the girls were toddlers. Last year we did @disneyland & @disneycruiseline instead of WDW, which are also just incredible. I have a lot of tips, tricks, packing ideas coming up - just things to make the trip easier that I’ve learned along the way.

Planning a @waltdisneyworld trip can be overwhelming (& I know it isn’t cheap but there are definitely ways to make it more cost effective). If you have any @waltdisneyworld questions, feel free to comment or DM me so I make sure to include it.

The best part of a Disney trip for me is the outfit planning. My MK outfit is @wildrichkids , @popflex_active , @hoka (these & my @on sneakers are the only sneakers I’ll wear at the parks), @kendrascott Disney necklaces (cutest ever), @stoneyclover & of course my @shopdisneyparks ears.

I have been a #disneycreator since 2019 & it’s just a dream come true to work with them, exciting @disney things happening soon & cannot wait to share.🖤

Wow Halloween is overrrrr. I took the day off social media to be fully present with my girls. Say hi to Taylor & Olivia. I am class Mom for both girls, so I went from one Halloween party to the next - quick break at home, then trick or treating (10k steps later) …. was the most fun, exhausting (but worth it) day.

My youngest was supposed to be something totally different for Halloween & Wednesday night I heard her tell her sister that she hates her costume (that she picked in August). She never asks for anything or complains so I told her no promises but I’ll see what I can do. Sissy had the shirt, I had the glasses & hat, & @amazon saved the day with one day shipping for the tights & shorts. Mama made it happen 💪🏻 she was so happy & appreciative, my sweet girl.

What’s your fave Halloween candy? Mine is def @butterfinger , as well as @reeses & @twix oh yes & @swedishfish .😝🖤

I work so much on my phone & computer that I have soooooo much pain & stress in these muscles (even the Doctor was like whoa). It can take 3 weeks to kick in, the first time you do it, it can last 3 months & then after that it can last up to 6 months. It’s also called Barbietox because it can cause a slimming effect in the neck/shoulder area.

Every headache I get is tension related, so I am veryyyyy excited for this. Have you ever done this treatment?!🖤

Over the weekend, my family threw a retirement par

Over the weekend, my family threw a retirement party for my beautiful Mama. I LOVE LOVE LOVE planning parties, especially if it’s for her because no one deserves it more. I decided on @mollypitcherinn in Red Bank because we love Red Bank & also love @mollypitcherinn (fun fact that was my first overnight media type trip manyyyyyy years ago). The decor is so beautiful, the views of the Navesink River are gorgeous, it’s just awesome there. The food was SO good, today I literally watched my Mom’s friends call her one by one, complimenting the food & the cake (success of a party ☑️ ). My normal cake girl moved, so I used @cakes_di_licious that my bestie had used & recommended - sooo yummy. For party fun, we had @forevergolden.nj for permanent jewelry. My Mom’s friends all got bracelets, it was something different to do & I loved that they all got a special keepsake. I got a hand chain which I am telling you, obsessed is not the word. All of my friends are asking me how I am going to keep this on & not have it drive me crazy - well if it does, she can always add a clasp on in her store so its all good.

My Mom is absolutely everything to me, I call her 10x a day, text her all day, she is always there for me, & the best Grandma on earthhhhhh to the girls & my nephew - so any reason to celebrate her, we are!

P.S. My younger daughter has been directing me lately to shoot video/photos of her, from music videos, to strutting her model walk, I cannot TAKE HER. So she insisted on me getting some shots of her vision of the gorgeous views at the hotel. I wonder where she gets this behavior from?

P.P.S My outfit is linked on LTK - the skirt I had planned on did NOT work so @klassy & my fave pants from @amazonfashion saved the day.🖤

It has been a crazy week here, but I have one thought going into the weekend #letsgoyankees 🖤

When in @bermuda , you must visit the @crystalcave

When in @bermuda , you must visit the @crystalcavesbermuda ! We docked in Bermuda for 2 days while onboard the #libertyoftheseas & this was on our must-do list. So pretty & so awesome to learn about as well (especially how they were discovered). Bermuda was so beautiful, we definitely want to go back.🖤

If you are looking for something fun to do for Hal

If you are looking for something fun to do for Halloween with the fam, check out Night of Frights at @thehistoricvillageatallaire . We were looking for something spookier than the previous stuff we had done, but not terrifying (I’d for sure faint). This was exactlyyyyy what we were looking for. There is a sign letting you know when you are heading for the scarier parts (which for us were fine but you have to know your kid). I would say age 8 & up for the scarier parts, but the rest is family friendly. I cannot believe Halloween is almost here.🖤

💉 Warning 💉in case you don’t like needles.

💉 Warning 💉in case you don’t like needles. I just finished 3 rounds of PRP for my under eyes & scalp at @juvaskinandlasercenter with the fab @drjuliyafisher & @whosthatnursee . I did 3 treatments, a month a 🥲apart & so excited to see my under eyes come to life.

The process is simple. First you get numbing cream, then a blood draw. While you are numbing, they process your blood to get that liquid gold separated. They process that & then inject it back into your under eye (bonus when they have extra to use in your scalp).

The benefits of this are improving the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the under-eye skin. You are also improving dark circles, fine lines, & hollowness. It also helps to stimulate collagen production.

I love @juvaskinandlasercenter so much - they talk me through everything & recommend things based on my goals for my skin. Next we are working on scar improvement using laser treatment so stay tuned for that. @juvaskinandlasercenter is celebrating their re-opening next week & can’t wait to see the updated space.🖤

Slow weekends are rare for us but sometimes so nee

Slow weekends are rare for us but sometimes so needed. Friday we went to hibachi with my sisters family, Saturday my parents came over & then we all went to my sister’s house. The girls had a sleepover with their Aunt & Sunday we all went to a farm (@carms_farm is new & was so nice - all of the animals are beautiful & very well taken care of). We saw some friends in-between & got some stuff done around the house. We neverrrrrr have weekends like this, we are always running from one thing to the next, this was a rare change of pace.

Friday was unexpectedly chaotic, & a bit crazy (check my TT to see what I mean) but wow the amount of texts I got from people in my personal life, DMs from people who have similar issues, was overwhelming. I feel for all of you so much & trust me I have been there.

This week is going to be back to our regular scheduled chaos & cannot wait!🖤

<<MAMA TALK>> This week we were supposed to be tra

<<MAMA TALK>> This week we were supposed to be traveling on a cruise for a family wedding & then we heard about Hurricane Milton. We were getting so concerned (my husband grew up in Florida, & most of my family lives there, so we are well-versed in Florida hurricane season). We decided to monitor the storm & hope for the best.

We had to decide the night that it was hitting what to do, as it would be our only chance to get a refund/credit without penalty given the circumstances. Flights were getting cancelled left & right. We decided it was the most safe option for our family to not go. The storm maps we were seeing were showing it hitting much more south than we thought it would, & there were awful tornados hitting the areas we were going. My girls were absolutely freaking out about flying & cruising in possible bad weather. They are expert travelers as we travel so much, none of us are generally scared of flying, cruising nothing, & it killed me seeing the uncertainness in their sweet faces. My husband is the most non-alarmist laid back guy (thank goodness because im the crazy Type A) & he was very concerned. We knew we would be disappointing family by not going. We felt sick to our stomachs having to make this decision, so must stress & anxiety.

In the end, we made the right one for our family. Traveling in potentially hazardous, dangerous weather was not worth the risk. My point is, MOM & DAD know whats best. You live life for the family you created, & live life making the best decisions for them, day in & day out. No matter what anyone on the outside says or thinks. That family you made is everythinggggggg. If people are angry with you for making choices you see best for your family, it says a lot more about them than it does about you. On a much better note, thank GOODNESS the hurricane was not at the levels they were saying & made the impact that we thought it would make. I pray everyone is ok & that is the END of storms for the year. So heartbreaking to see all the devastation & damage from these back to back storms. I hug my babies a little extra tight knowing we did the right thing for our girls & always will put them first.🖤

I had the privilege of attending the @goodhousekee

I had the privilege of attending the @goodhousekeeping 115th Anniversary celebratory event yesterday at @hearst tower - one of the most gorgeous buildings in the city. I was in the company of such wonderful people & it was the most perfect day. The Good Housekeeping Seal is the gold standard when sharing & recommending products & their labs (which we were able to tour) were so innovative & so cool to see in person. Here’s to another 115 years of #goodhousekeeping #ghseal115 🖤
