These are some of my favorite skincare and beauty products. When quarantine began I decided to take a hard look at what I was doing to take care of my body. Skincare was at the top of that list. I admittedly did a poor job at keep my skin clean and heathy an decided to make it a priority. I’ve tried a TON of different serums, creams and oils and these are my top picks

Happy Holiday Season! After this past year I think everyone is in need or the simple joys of the holidays, the lights, the hot cocoa, the family time and the holiday movies. I asked my followers on Instagram, follow me at Melissa.j if you’re not following 🙂 what their favorite holiday movie was and I was somewhat surprised by the answers. Here is a list of the top choices in order from most said down;

Imposter Syndrome. This is something that has been on my mind for a little while now and I’ve been having trouble figuring out how to approach this. I think it is why I have been somewhat silent on the blog for the last few weeks. Almost like I have to get this out there in order to move forward with working on my blog.

Happy weekend! My Friday Favorites this week are all about gifts for the man in your life. Whether it’s husband, boyfriend or father/father-in-law these are all great options.
Read More...I wanted to discuss postpartum because while postpartum depression is talked about often I don’t feel that other aspects of it are talked about as much. I remember when I was pregnant with my first child and feeling like something was wrong with me because I did not absolutely love being pregnant.

I first started getting into Podcasts about 6 or 7 years ago. My cousin (Hey Anna!) recommended checking out Serial and I was hooked. I’m pretty sure I binged it in a couple days. I found the story to be so crazy and interesting and the fact that he was still fighting for his freedom only intro one more. I recently started listening to podcasts over the radio and I’ve found some great ones. Now with the kids I can’t always listen to them because Disney Princess music always wins 😂 however, these are ones that I’m currently loving.

This weeks favorites are all about Christmas. I love decorating the house for the holiday season. We usually wait until after Thanksgiving but 2020 has been a wacky year so who knows, maybe I’ll break out the decorations early and spread some holiday cheer.
1. I love this stocking holder. I can picture them on the mantle creating the look of garland. Kills two birds with one stone which I love.
2. Vintage car Christmas decorations also create a sense of nostalgia for me. Don’t ask me why but they remind me of Christmas when I was a kid, mind you, we never had decorations like this but it gives me all the Muppet Family Christmas feels (< classic Christmas movie that they need to make available again)
3. Letters to Santa Mailbox- now that we have kids it’s important to keep the magic of Christmas alive in our house. I love this little mailbox that the kids to write letters and place inside.
4. I love anything Buffalo plaid. Whether it’s a shirt, blankets, table cloth, I love it. This Buffalo plaid stocking is not completely in your face Christmas decor but I love the subtle farmhouse feel it’s gives off.

Happy weekend all! Have you started decorating or shopping for the holidays yet?

November 6, 2020 – Lifestyle
I admittedly have not always taken the best care of my skin. I wore way too much makeup, would go to bed without washing my face and would wake up only to put more makeup on. Ahhh, just thinking about that makes me cringe now. Well, I’m happy to report that I don’t do that anymore haha oh to be in your 30’s 😆 I’m not going to lie and say I woke up one day and miraculously started taking care of my skin, it was definitely a slow progression but these are the three things that I added that changed my skin.
