Dear Reader,
Typically, I share things on Instagram on the fly that I’m loving, well, on the fly.
I often overlook links and refrain from sharing much detail with each thing I’m loving, so I thought I’d do a quick roundup here.
As odd as this may sound, I swear these things are keeping my energy high towards the end of pregnancy. This is the time when I really prioritize feeling good — investing in the things and practices that light me up.
On this happy hump day, I thought I’d share some things bringing good vibes these days!

Latest Covets
Vince Satin Pants
In the color “haystack,” to be specific. Not quite an ivory, not quite a green, but somewhere in between. I love how the satin shines, but if you prefer more muted, I also love this linen green for Spring/Summer (bonus: on mega sale!).
Wearing a Small for bump.
Suzie Kondi Skirt and Top Set
Such chic pieces alone or together, I got the skirt in a XS and the top in a Small for 35-week-bump purposes.
A reader told me she got The Row’s Leddie skirt (drool!) and asked what to pair with it. I love an oversized knit, blouse (like the one above), or even a large button-up.
A. Emery Sandal
Am I off here, or does every woman need an elevated flip flop? They go with everything.
This A. Emery sandal surpassed my expectations. Similar to The Row (with a much happier price point) these feel simple yet elevated all at once.
I love my brown colorway, but am considering the creamy butter color too.
Lily of the Valley Diffuser
When we stayed at San Ysidro Ranch, I became obsessed with this scented diffuser in the poorhouse bathroom. I am sensitive to scents but this smells like the most glorious cottage garden.
Had to get it for our powder room at home — such a treat!
Latest Practices
Morning Walk Outside
Now that the weather is nice, I get outside and walk, walk, walk! Even when I’m not pregnant, I genuinely think long walks are the best form of exercise.
I specially love getting outside now—in warmer weather—for beautiful views, greater oxygen, and a direct sunshine on my skin for extra Vitamin D.
Headspace
Truly, I just do the semi-guided or unguided meditations, but love them as a way to keep time and the little chime that both begins and ends the meditation.
Dry Brushing My Belly
… and all my other body parts, too.
Good for blood circulation, cellulite reduction, and honestly, just love its invigorating effect.
Latest Cravings
My Every Day Green Juice
Been drinking my green juice every morning. I love a green juice first thing in the morning as a way to gently wake up the digestive system.
Here is my juicer (but honestly love the compact one even more, and for a lesser price).
My Beauty Matcha
I blend up my Beauty Matcha almost daily after lunch. I love this matcha because it contains some collagen for a little extra nourishment post meal.
I simply blend the matcha with 4 oz of water and 4 oz of almond milk (I like Malk or Three Trees) and a heaping spoonful of honey. Then I pour over ice. Easy!
Spaghetti
Specifically, the way I make spaghetti. I call it “Unraveled Spaghetti” because I don’t love a meat ball — so, the meat ball is "unraveled,” so to speak, with onion and mushrooms and spices.
This is one of my quintessential pregnancy meals — so satisfying.
Will add this recipe to my website soon!
Just received my A Emery flip flops in the brown! They are stunning and I'm glad to add to my growing collection
What I would give for a homemade celery juice right now haha. Literally first purchase that will be made once we find an apartment. That and a vitamix.
