And just like that the end of May is here! We ended this month celebrating my sister as she graduated high school, but honestly the past few weeks have been a total blur. I can’t wait to share with you why…but more on that later! 😉 [No, I’m not pregnant! lol!]
What to expect next month?
- My favorite essential oils. No, I don’t sell them! I actually just bought a few while pregnant because you can barely take any medicine during it. Then I never really touched them because my allergies where fine at that time. But once I had Maxi my allergies were back so I started to play around with them. Paul jokes that this is my new “expensive” hobby [oils aren’t cheap! lol]. But I have fun with it and I’ve enjoyed learning something new.
- Tips for ordering online. I rarely shop in store. In fact, two Sundays ago it took us all but 30 minutes to get Maxi ready for church. Nothing was fitting her! I ran to Old Navy after church to pick up some new pieces and the line was atrocious. I was in line for so long that Paul was sending me snaps of poor Maxi crying in her car seat because she had had enough. He got in the back with her and started singing and playing Baby Einstein songs. lol! That calmed her down, but reason #495829 I rarely shop in store.
- My eye makeup tutorial! I have about 3 easy eye looks [that take under 3 minutes to do!] and I’ll be sharing them with you all!
- 10 organization hacks!
What’s on my wish list for next month?
- I should stop with the leopard sandals, but life is short. Buy the shoes.
- We are headed to Colorado next month, so I think I’ll be using a backpack instead of a diaper bag while traveling. How cute is this one?!
- Lately, I am obsessed with body oils. This is my next one to try.
- I wanted some fun frayed jeans to wear with heels. These are only $100 and so cute!

Thank you so much for reading, girl! xo
Do you have a topknot tutorial? Your topknots are so cute!
Hi Sam! Thank you so much, you’re so sweet! I don’t, but I’d love to work on one! xo
I second wanting a topknot tutorial! I have yet to master one, and your tutorials are always so helpful.
Hi Katey! Can’t wait for your post on your favorite oils! I am a newbie to oils and I am always interested in how other people use them. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life, I look forward to reading your blog every day!
Thank you so much for reading! It means the world to me!
Super excited about your eye makeup tutorial!!! I am almost 25 years old and still feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing with eye shadows so I would love an easy tutorial 🙂
Also, I used your tricks for your beachy waves you did on Snapchat last week and it turned out so good!

Yay!! I’m so excited that it turned out well for you! It’s my favorite way to do my hair in the summer!
Maxi is just too dang precious. Love that giant bow.
Thank you girl! haha, I love all the big bows!
Great post Katey. I love that sweater and jean shorts so cute!
Thank you Chloe! 🙂
The RM backpack is very nice, and it fits your style perfectly!
For a kid-less trip to Scotland recently, I bought my first Fjallraven backpack (I say “my first,” because I’m sure there’ll be more!). I love it! It’s a different style than the RM but great if you want a more cargo-vibe like I did for my trip. If I’m blessed with baby #7, I will definitely use a Fjallraven as my go-to bag because my purse organizer and all my little pouches fit just right. :o) (Oh, and the mini Kankens are SO cute for a mini-me!)

What color did you get in the Chloe Myrtle sunglasses?
The peach!
