As I ride the train into the city, the streets are wet, the air has a bit of a chill, and the sun tries to peek from behind the clouds. It’s that awkward in-between time of year when it’s still not warm enough to wear a just sundress, but not cold enough to require a coat on a daily basis, either. This time of year, the weather can change wildly day to day, sometimes even throughout the day, requiring many different layers to accommodate the weather conditions of the moment and making winter to spring outfits a necessity.

That’s peak spring for you in the Pacific Northwest! Unpredictable.  🌧

If you’re struggling to dress for this unpredictable time of year, I feel you. It can be hard to figure out what can be put away for the season, and what might need to stay in your dresser and closet for just a couple more weeks. Today, I thought I’d share some of my favorite transitional dressing staples and favorite outfits I’ve put together as we take winter to spring outfits for a spin!

Anyone else loving the spring sunshine?! With temperatures in the 60s and low 70s over the past week or so, I’ve been quickly pulling out all of my favorite sundresses and sleeveless tops and packing away my coats and sweaters. It won’t be long until summer is here and we’ll be spending our weekends going on beach walks and having friends over for backyard BBQs!

Spring Essentials: What’s in my Bag this Spring

When the sun is out more days then not, I find it helpful to change up more than just my wardrobe. I revamp my beauty routine, what I wear, and what I carry in my bag with me at all times. Today, I thought it would be fun to share what my spring essentials are, and after this past busy weekend, what I’ve been keeping in my bag for a day of fun in the sun!

Even though Spring is almost here, my skin has still been acting like we’re in the dead of winter. I think that’s probably due to our wacky weather, which hasn’t been able to pick a season. After all, just last week, I woke up to snow on the ground, and some areas of Seattle even had a bit of snow fall yesterday! It’s crazy, I tell you, and battling dry skin in winter is absolutely no fun.

​​​​​​At the end of last month, I was invited on King 5’s New Day NW, a morning show that runs on our local news station. Because we had that epic snowstorm known as “Snowmageddon” just a week or so prior, I tackled the topic of dealing with winter skin problems.

It wasn’t hard to find products in my arsenal that help me – in fact, I had to pare it down as segments are only about 5 or so minutes long. Even then, I still had a ton of information to share, which is why I wanted to hone in all of my thoughts regarding dry skin in winter and share those here with you today!

So who’s ready to keep those flakes at bay and say see ya later to your winter skin woes?!

When it comes to getting things done, whether that’s chores around the house, work, or just a personal project, I’ve found that I’m most motivated when I set goals and reward myself. It doesn’t have to be a big goal or even a big reward. Something small to tell myself “job well done!”, and keep up the momentum for my other tasks that day.

Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways of celebrating checking things off the to-do list and boosting my creativity when I get in a rut. These ideas are all simple, budget-friendly, and won’t derail you from the rest of your day ahead!
