Loving Lately (April 2021)

April 7, 2021

Hello friends! I don’t know about you, but I am in disbelief that it’s April. Spring break and Easter flew by, and we are officially in spring mode over here. Wanted to pop in and share some of my favorites lately…


Wearing: Spring style
With the temps getting to be more spring like these days, I am transitioning my wardrobe accordingly. This link stitch sweater is lightweight yet still weather appropriate. I pair it with simple jewelry like studs or a chain necklace, joggers or jeans and my favorite sneakers. (FYI- the sweater is true to size, and is a bit see through, so I’d recommend a cami or bodysuit underneath!)


Reading: The Lazy Genius
I just started reading this for an upcoming book club, and am really enjoying it so far. It’s got tangible tips for doing what matters in your life (whether that’s perfecting your morning routine or getting more sleep), and forgetting the rest.


Applying: Tanologist Sunless Tanning Drops
This came as a recommendation from my sister-in-law (thanks Courtney!) and I am a fan! They don’t have that tanner smell, and you simply work the drops into your moisturizer and rub it in (I did mine at night and could see immediate results in the morning). The glow is really nice and lasts for a while, plus it is relatively clean in terms of ingredients! I use the medium shade.


Serving: Room Essentials bowls
This plastic line from Target is dishwasher safe and microwave safe and incredibly affordable. The mini bowls are perfect for snacks, or ice cream for the boys. I even picked up a couple larger serving bowls and platters for summer entertaining– and I won’t be worried if I drop or chip them based on the price point!



Cleaning: Nanotowel for Stainless Steel
Full disclosure here: I was influenced by a Tiktok video I saw of these and added them to my Amazon cart. But man, do they deliver! I’ve tried using a wide array or products to clean my stainless steel appliances and get streaks, a lasting film, etc. but these just use just water and work SO well! I also got the Nanotowels for everyday cleaning too!

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats. Lately, I' src='http://the-style-files.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/image.png' class='GraphSidecar' style='opacity: 0;'>

    • I am deeply grateful that our school has been able to be in person since the start of the school year last fall. A large part of that is due to the incredible staff and teachers like @carrie_dorst that pulls double duty not only as an amazing teacher day in and day out, but also as a disinfecting, social distancing, safety checking guru! We are so blessed to have people that care like you in our school, Carrie! Thank you for all you do! ♥️ Nominate a teacher to win a box of @sambucol products (teachers need all the immune

    • #Mondaymeditations I so grateful to be entrusted with these two boys. It is such a joy to watch them grow. I pray the Lord fills them with joy and gives them a determination to live for Him. The influences on kids these days are many, and it can be overwhelming to think of the lies and half-truths they hear (or will hear) on a daily basis. Though I can
    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?! I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet.
