Trendy, aesthetic, and guaranteed to be a hit this Christmas.

Teen girls can be so hard to shop for — but the good news is they’re very trend-driven, which makes it easy once you know what’s in. These are the most-wanted gifts of the season, curated from TikTok trends, viral favorites, and top-rated picks.

Beauty & Self-Care Favorites

• Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (Holiday Edition)
A cult-favorite with the cutest seasonal scents. Teens absolutely love this one.

• Sol de Janeiro Body Mist
The Brazilian Crush scents are everywhere on TikTok — especially 68 and 40.

• Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Drops
The product teens call “liquid sunshine.” Perfect mixed with moisturizer. (Or find a DUPE here for a fraction of the cost)

• Heatless Curling Ribbon Set
They wake up with curls and aesthetic TikTok energy. There are SO many types of heatless curl tools on the market right now. But, if you're confused, Kitsch is always a good bet. The two most popular options are the one long rod or the multi pack of smaller ones. (My personal preference is for the smaller ones.) 

• Touchland Hand Sanitizer Gift Set

Smells so good, looks even better. A must-have backpack accessory.

Fashion They’re Obsessed With

• Ugg K Cassic Ultra Mini Platform Boots
Comfy, cute, and the top teen shoe this year.

'

• Lululemon Belt Bag
The teen equivalent of a mom-friendly crossbody — it goes with everything.

• Gold Hoop Earrings
Minimal, timeless, and super on-trend.

• Initial Necklace (simple gold)
Personalized without being childish.

Soft, cute, and perfect for sleepovers or lazy Sundays.

• JBL Bluetooth Speaker

Good sound + cute colors = an easy win.

• LED Strip Lights
Still very much a teen room staple.

• Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Set (aesthetic colors)
Perfect for school, gaming, or decorating their desk setup.

The #1 water bottle on every teen’s wish list.

Light, fresh, and super popular with high school girls.

• Phone Case Crossbody Lanyard

• Pura Vida Bracelets
Affordable, stackable, and easy to collect.

Teen girls love anything that feels aesthetic, viral, or functional-but-still-cute. If it’s something they see on TikTok or something that makes their room prettier, it’s a guaranteed hit. This list covers every major trend for Christmas 2024–2025 — so you truly can’t go wrong.

It's no secret that being pregnant can make you feel uncomfortable in your body. And I'm not just talking about the incontinence or hemorrhoids. (Yes, I said it.)  No matter what your normal pant size is, it can be absolutely depressing to watch your body morph into something you don't recognize. Believe me, it's a sensation I'm well familiar with. I typically gain 60 pounds in my pregnancies. Let that soak in for a second. Sixty. Pounds. But after going through it a few times I finally find myself with a better outlook on pregnancy and my body. So, I thought I would share a few "Feel Good About Yourself" tips just in case you needed a little pick me up today.

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT
Before I start sharing tips on clothes or makeup let's address what the base problem is. Your state of mind. When you look at yourself in the mirror or a photograph, you don't recognize the woman looking back at you. But that's ok! That woman in the mirror, is creating life where there was none. She's a badass. Even if she pees a little when she laughs. So, get to know her and love her.

Think about this: Your current weight and appearance. If you saw any other woman that looked like this out in the real world, would you judge her for her outward appearance. (For the sake of argument and humanity let's all say "No".) Of course you wouldn't. So why are you judging yourself so harshly? Your new look is different. But, it is not less than. It is just as beautiful and wonderful as it's always been.

DRESS FOR YOUR NEW BODY

Learning to dress for your body type is a valuable and tough skill to master whether you are pregnant or not. It took me 20 + years to realize that my 40 inch hips and flat chest were not going to pull off the same clothes that my athletic bodied besties could. It was a tough realization that took a lot of unfortunate fashion choices to embrace.

So what's the trick? Identify the parts of your body that you love and the parts that you wish you could trade with a Victoria's Secret model. Show off assets and hide the rest with loose fitting and/or dark fabrics.

I love my bump and the fact that I now have a semblance of a chest. But, I could do without the extra width and jiggle in my hips and legs. So, I wear tight clothes with a long line cardigan or coat to camouflage my hips. Voila.

FIND SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SEXY

Hair, Nails, Shoes, Jewelry... whatever it is. If there is something that never fails to make you feel put together and fancy, then make an effort to fit that into your day whenever you can. For me it's makeup. My hair will be in a pile on top of my head and I may be wearing leggings and a sweater most days, but I love making time for makeup. The application process relaxes me and having it on always makes me feel a little more like myself.

(I understand that time and money are legitimate factors when it comes to some of these suggestions, but if you can comfortably manage it, then go for it!)

KEEP IT MOVING

With Hudson and Holland, I literally had no energy whatsoever. And by the end of both pregnancies I felt like a beached whale. But, with this pregnancy, I've continued to work and also chase after two young kids. My days include a lot of getting up and down off the ground and lifting small humans, so I'm still getting at least some minimal exercise. And I honestly feel a million times more energetic because of it. The really great part is that energy is also super helpful for accomplishing my first three tips!

You don't have to go to a gym, but continue to make an effort to get a walk in or play hard with the kids rather than phoning it in. (Window shopping at the mall is also fun exercise when the weather is bad.)



Hopefully some of these tips were helpful! Let me know if you have any other tips on feeling good during pregnancy!

P.S. If you have the scoop on any good black friday deals for baby/pregnancy stuff, let me know! I've been scoping out the Bed Bath and Beyond sale for nursery and home items and already found some great deals on cribs and gliders.

Happy Wednesday Y'all!! 😘

Happy Happy Monday, Ladies! I wanted to pop in with a quick Life/Pregnancy update!
I realize I haven't been posting as much as I had hoped throughout this pregnancy, but to be honest I feel like I haven't been paying attention to this pregnancy as much as I'd like.

With moving homes, working and juggling the kids schedules this third baby has been a bit of an afterthought. Which is a little sad to acknowledge, because this will most likely be my last... Thankfully, though, we are basically settled into our new home now and my energy is starting to come back a bit during the second trimester. As I sit here typing on my laptop I can feel the little peanut kicking against the weight of it and I'm finally able to enjoy and cherish it.

With that said I'll just do a quick speed round of facts about baby and the pregnancy.

GENDER: GIRL
NAME: WORKING ON IT
SUGGESTED NAMES FROM OLDER SIBLINGS: RAPUNZEL, JULIA, ROCKET
DUE DATE: FEBRUARY 20
CRAVINGS: FROOT LOOPS AND RAISING CANES

COMPLAINTS: HEART BURN & NEEDING TO PEE EVERY MINUTE
PROS: FEELING ENERGIZED AND GAINING LESS WEIGHT THAN THE LAST TWO PREGNANCIES
 

Another aspect of this pregnancy is that the placenta has implanted low and my doctor has me doing repeated ultra sounds to keep track of whether or not it is rising. I think if doesn't the only complication is that delivery will have to be through C-Section. Outside of that we have all been doing great and I'm excited and grateful to finally be in this slightly more relaxed season.

Speaking of seasons, this week the weather has finally begun to feel like fall and I'm ecstatic to bust out all of my coats and cozy clothes. In honor of that I thought I would share some of my fave Faux Fur pieces right now.

To shop just click on the photos!

And that brings this post to a close! Hope you all have an amazing day and an even more wonderful week ahead! 

Yes, you read that right! If you don't follow me on Instagram or know me in real life you probably missed the big announcement that we have baby #3 coming this February! (Due, Exactly 2 days after Holland's fourth birthday)

HAT | DRESS | NECKLACE | PELICAN BRACELET | WATCH

So, It's been a lifetime since I've posted to the blog and I wanted to drop in and give you a life update to explain my absence and give a little insight into the pregnancy.


THE HOUSE HUNT
I'll get the boring stuff out of the way first: We STILL haven't found a house. And we are STILL living at my mom's. When we nixed the building plans this summer, we had no idea  the house hunt would be this difficult. The market seems to be at an all time high. And since Jamy is a real estate appraiser his insight on home values has knocked a lot of potential homes from the "That's Pretty" list to the "Bad Investment" list. And here we sit.... Just waiting for something reasonably priced and big enough to come on the market!



THE BABY
Now, for the fun pregnancy stuff. This third one has been far different from the other two. I never experienced morning sickness with the other two. But I was popping Dramamine for two straight months just to cope. (Zofran wasn't doing it for me.) Thankfully last week, the tides changed as I entered the second trimester and I feel SO much better! That is the main reason that I haven't been around here lately. Feeling like crap sort of takes the wind out of your sails. I'm hoping to get things back into full swing for the next few months before #3 arrives!

Another fun thing about the third pregnancy is how much sooner everything seems to happen. My belly popped out almost instantaneously. I already have to pee every few minutes and struggle to sleep at night because of this. I guess, my body just Knows the routine so it's hopping to it quickly.

So far, baby seems healthy at my checkups and things are going well. We'll also find out the gender at our 20 week anatomy scan in October. And no, I don't really have a preference or much of a feeling about what it is.



Finally... the name. We have a few boy names we like but are completely stumped for girl names. We have tried to think of an 'H' name we like that isn't too popular or too out there. And I also want the middle name to be Rose, so we have to find something that flows with that.

I'll be taking suggestions in the comment section!

It's hot as Hades out there y'all & I think I sweat off about ten pounds the day these pics were taken (wishful thinking). In light of the sweltering temps I thought I'd bring you two fun treats today. I'm sharing the beauty products and tips I've been using most to stay looking fresh and not like a sweaty mess. AND I'm giving away a huge Nordstrom Prize just in time for you to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Check it all out below the pics!

Grab this super cute Kimono HERE for only $11!

::HOW TO NOT LOOK LIKE A SWEATY MESS::

-Avoid The Cake-

That's not a diet tip. But unless you're going to an all night event there's no need to pound on layers of makeup. Plus, sweat dripping down over a full face of cake is never a flattering look.

Instead, opt for a light weight foundation like the L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation or Clinique's Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup.

-Powder Is Your Friend-
If you want your liquid products to stay put, it's a general rule that you'll need to set them with some powder. This doesn't mean you need to do a full bake. But a light dusting of Coty Airspun Face Powder will keep your foundation in place without breaking the bank.

Bonus Tip: If you find that your mascara often transfers to your under eye area on a hot day, then setting that area of skin with powder can make a huge difference. It should prevent the oils from your skin from causing your mascara to run. Here's a quick video tut on how to do it.

-Set It And Forget It-
I've found that once you get your base perfected most blushes and bronzers will stay put as long as you set it all with the right setting spray! Urban Decay's All Nighter is the industry standard and will never let you down. But it isn't cheap. I've said many times that I like to use the Wet N' Wild Photo Focus Natural Finish Setting Spray as my daily spray. It's less than $5 and gets the job done.

Bonus Tip: Once you're out and about it doesn't hurt to carry a small translucent powder compact with you (I like the Rimmel Stay Matte or Charlotte Tillbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder). And blotting papers are a good addition to every summer handbag.

But the best tip I can give you is; NEVER wipe the sweat from your brow or wherever your glands may be overachieving. ALWAYS blot. Grab a tissue if necessary and use blotting motions to remove excess oils. Then, you can even spritz another wash of setting spray over your face to feel a bit refreshed.

Now it's time for the fun! You can definitely stock your summer makeup arsenal with this Nordstrom Gift Card!
