Power Color | Mustard Yellow Sweaters

Today’s post is all about mustard yellow, specifically, mustard yellow sweaters thanks to the suggestion of my mom (thanks MOM)! When she was visiting, we found her a gorgeous mustard blouse at Primark and were talking about it being a “power color” – meaning it’s definitely a color that grabs attention and is a bold choice! Now, I’ve heard people say “I can’t pull off this color” or not everyone can wear this color. I disagree, as I believe anyone can pull anything off – all it takes is a little confidence! And anyone who TRULY believes that you...

My Perfect Beauty Travel Companion | Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 25

Beauty•Travel

This post is sponsored by Olay. If there’s one thing I want to simplify when packing for a vacation, it’s my beauty products. Namely, my skincare routine. I put a lot of effort into both my morning and night routine to ensure I’m taking the best care of my skin to keep my skin looking as youthful and refreshed as possible! This means using products that provide the ultimate hydration while also fighting against wrinkles and aging. That’s a lot to ask of a product, but I have fallen in love with the Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 25. I’ve...

Leopard Joggers + Denim Jacket

Fashion•Outfits

Hello! Happy Monday, and HAPPY JUNE! I cannot believe it. While summer doesn’t officially start until June 21, it always officially feels like summer once June hits. The temperatures are consistently warm and the calendar starts to fill up with so many summer events and trips. The next three months are going to fly by and I can’t wait for what’s to come! I wore this look a couple of weeks ago and am obsessed with all things leopard print right now. I found these adorable leopard joggers at Primark and knew that I would get a ton of...

Boston Brews: Widowmaker Brewing

Dog Friendly•Emma Approved•Lifestyle

Hello! I’m so excited to kick off a new series here on the blog – focused on one of my loves, GOOD BEER! Welcome to Boston Brews, a biweekly series where I will be sharing about a different brewery in the area. I actually wanted to start a similar series when I was still in Minneapolis because there are tons of good breweries there too, but what’s better than starting this off fresh in a new city? I will be posting at least every other Thursday because who doesn’t want to talk about or read about beer on Thirsty...

Why Boston?

Lifestyle

I’ve been asked this question by almost every single person I told we were moving here – friends, family, co-workers, followers and even strangers who have overhead us telling others! The funny thing I didn’t expect is that I’ve gotten that same question since settling in here, why are you here? What brought you here? The problem with answering this question is there is no short reason for me. It wasn’t a job that brought us here, even though I applied to and interviewed with places. But it was always more than that. It was a mutual decision that...

Week Two in Vermont!

Lifestyle•Travel

Oh where to begin? Are you surprised that I’m late on this post, just like the first one (I’m certainly not)? Even though we’ve only been out of Minnesota for three weeks, it feels like a lifetime. Time moves slowly in Vermont. Which, I’m not complaining about, it’s just different than the fast-paced lifestyle we’ve been used to for so many years. Anyway, week two we definitely started to make more strides in our routine. I’ve been taking the time to go for a short run every morning – nothing crazy – just enough to clear my mind, get...
