Amen! 🙌🏼 What are some of the things your most looking forward to when quarantine is over?!

Have a glass of wine, make a little pizza, and get down tonight! 🎶 😝 There’s honestly nothing to boost your spirits like turning on your fave music, having a glass of wine, and making your own pizza with the one(s) you love! If you’re looking for something fun and different to do at home this weekend, def try having a pizza party- we had the best time doing this! It’s simple, easy, and the best part is, there’s hardly any clean-up! (Anyone else feel like they’re cleaning the kitchen/ doing dishes 1,000x a day?!) Just remember, no matter how the pizza turns out, it’s all about having fun and sharing some laughs! Here are the ingredients we used last night which turned out to be absolutely delish! You can obvi sub out all ingredients for anything your heart desires! Happy cooking babes and try and have some fun this weekend!
⠀
🍷+ 🎵 first things first, you gotta set mood! Pour a glass and turn on a playlist to get the vibes going! @spotify has been carrying us through this quarantine!
🍕 Cauliflower crust (first time having this but we were trying to be healthier and it was actually so good! Edges got nice and crispy, but would love to find one that’s a bit thicker? If you have any recs, send our way!)
🍕 @raoshomemade marinara sauce (THE best sauce in our opinion! But we also heard the Arrabbiata sauce is also 🔥 so cant wait to try that one next time since we do love a little spice!)
🍕 Pizza seasoning
🍕 Pepperoni
🍕 Mushroom
🍕 Basil
🍕 Tomato
🍕 Mozzarella
🍕 (Totally forgot to add this, but red onion and a drizzle of olive oil would’ve set it off! There’s always next time!)
🍕 Turn oven on bake at 500 degrees and cook on top rack to 7-8 minutes!
⠀
Tag us if you end up making your own pizza this weekend! We promise you’ll have the best time!

Another day another mirror selfie 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😝 Just when you told yourself you didn’t need another sweatshirt, sweatpant, or sweats set... quarantine hit 😭 Not going to lie, never having to put on jeans (doing my makeup or hair) is absolute heaven for me, so fully embracing the cozy gear for the time being! Who else is actually kind of loving that?! Linking this hoodie and several other cozies that won’t break the bank💰via the @liketoknow.it app so just screen shot to shop!

Happy Tuesday Babes! Since we’re all wearing our

Happy Tuesday Babes! Since we’re all wearing our lounge wear a bit more than expected, wanted to share with you some of our top picks from the @aerie sale (30% off Aerie Collection, sale ending TODAY). Linking everything I bought for you guys!
⠀
It’s no secret that we love @aerie for loungewear and if you’ve been watching our stories, you’ve seen our Lululemon Align dupes from @aerie. These Aerie Play “Real Me" leggings are THE best and about 1/3 of the price (on-sale for $24 right now and come in short, regular and long). We both have them in multiple colors. We’ve also thrown in a few of our favorite @americaneagle jeans (the “Curvy Mom Jeans” are the ones we get asked about the most, and they’re on sale for $35 which is WILD). They also have @shoprunner which will get your items to you in 2 days, and offers free returns. So check out the sale ASAP, @aerie and @americaneagle are one of our little secrets for the best loungewear, leggings, soft tees, and jeans for all shapes and sizes. Some of the best quality, fit, and best price points we’ve found! Also great for mamas to be and post baby items!

Happy Monday babes! In an effort to “stay sane” and keep ourselves feeling productive during this time, we’ve noticed how easy it is to put so much pressure on ourselves that we start to feel overwhelmed with all of things that “we have to get done”. So today (and everyday), remember to give yourself some grace. If the workouts don’t happen, if the to-do list never gets completely finished, it’s OK, because what served you yesterday, may not be what you need today. Maybe today you need a meditation instead of a workout, maybe you need to just veg out on the couch for a little bit, maybe you need to go for a walk instead of a run. Continue listening to your body and mind. Don’t compare your days to previous ones, or to those of others. Let’s see if this week, we can find more moments of peace and gratitude amongst our daily schedules!

We’ll call this the “Quarantine Twist” Tutor

We’ll call this the “Quarantine Twist” Tutorial ... Jokes aside, this under 2 minute pony is one of my go-to’s. Perfect for day 3 (or day 6?) hair, or you just want your hair out of your face! It’s super easy and all you need is a pack of clear hair ties! I use the @goodyhair clear bands from @amazon. Also love this bc it works with a hat, which let’s be honest, some days you need both hat and pony. I’m giving my hair a much needed break from heat/tools in quarantine, so trying some new ponies and will share with you guys here! Swipe right for the quick tutorial ♥️

Is it just us, or has being quarantined made you r

Is it just us, or has being quarantined made you realize just how much we rely on human touch and interaction as a daily source of inspiration and light?! On the weekends especially, when we’re used to lots of friendship time and laughter, we feel it’s imperative to continue working on finding ways to connect and continue the sense of community. While most of us have been quarantined for a couple weeks now and things may start to be feeling monotonous, keep checking in with your friends and loved ones- keep calling, texting, FaceTiming, Zooming, and doing all the things to STAY CONNECTED. Even if it’s a quick check-in, it may just be what you (or someone else) needs to lift your spirits! We hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!
