Bye Bye August 👋

Montana Memories

I just got back from an unforgettable trip to Big Sky, Montana! 🏔️ 

Planning a trip like this (especially with a group of 30!) was all about finding the perfect balance—keeping the kids entertained while sneaking in some relaxation for us parents. 😴 

In the mornings, we sent the kids off to Moonlight Camp , where they swam, rock climbed, and hit the trails! Day camps are a great way for kids to make memories, meet new friends, and enjoy a lil’ independence.

And for us parents, it meant some much-needed downtime! We spent our days paddle boarding on Ulery Lake, playing a quick round of golf, or just enjoying a drink (or two 🤪) while soaking in Montana’s beauty.

A few things I recommend if you’re planning your own Big Sky adventure:

• Explore Local Eateries: Make sure to dine at local favorites like Ousel & Spur and Moonlight Tavern.

• Hit the Trails: Don’t miss a family-friendly hike to Ousel Falls, perfect for all ages. It only takes about an hour, and the scenery is breathtaking. 😊 

• Embrace the Water: Enjoy a day at Ulery Lake with swimming, paddle boarding, or simply unwinding by the shore, or take a scenic float down the Madison River for a relaxing adventure.

We had to take advantage of Montana’s breathtaking scenery, with a sunset photoshoot. Everyone dressed up, and @andrew.martin.photography captured the most beautiful family portraits—I’ll cherish these forever! 🥺 

Beauty Faves

I’ve been hooked on Nioxin for over four years since my struggle with postpartum hair loss, and if you’re dealing with thinning hair or just want it to feel fuller and healthier—

you need this shampoo!

Their new hair fall defense shampoo helps create the best environment for your hair to thrive. It works wonders for making hair stronger right from the root. Seriously, my hair feels so much more resilient and less prone to breakage.

Here’s why I’m obsessed:

• Visibly Less Hair Fall: 93% of people see less hair fall in just 12 weeks. It’s not a hair regrowth product, but helps your hair grow stronger from the root.

• Powerful Ingredients: A blend of Niacinamide, Caffeine, Sandalore, and Lauric Acid to stimulate your scalp and nourish your hair. ✨

• Deep Clean Action: Clears away any build-up at the roots and enjoy clean hair that feels stronger with every wash.

• Easy to Use: Massage it in for two minutes, let the peppermint tingle, rinse, and you’re done! It’s like a mini spa moment in your shower.

We all deserve to feel confident in our hair, and this is a little self-care step that makes a big difference. Click here to learn more!

Fits of the Week

I just had to share this adorable shirt we all wore on our trip! Etsy has so many great options for custom prints, perfect for your next family vacation.

I have on a flowy, tiered white maxi dress with puffed sleeves and a fitted bodice, creating a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Pair it with neutral sandals and a woven handbag for a laid-back vibe. Some simple gold jewelry would elevate the outfit.

Talk about sleek ✨sophistication✨, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Don’t shy away from fitted styles that highlight your shape. To keep it smooth, consider layering with shapewear for a seamless look. Some strappy heels and statement earrings would really complete the look!

This outfit mixes a deep brown lace crop top with high-waisted, wide-leg white pants. Try to aim for contrasting colors or textures to add depth to the outfit. Keep accessories minimal—delicate necklaces or small hoops work best.
