I worked with Caitlin Dyer – and I LOVED it!! She put together a hybrid virtual course for me so the exact experience I have isn’t an option on her menu but shoot her a DM or an email to see what would be best for you and she will get back to you with a recommendation. I cannot speak highly enough of her!

OMG I’m so sorry I missed this post in my postpartum haze.

I’m OBSESSED with the gel overlay – it’s what I get. Basically, from my understanding, there is a layer of gel that is “cured” right to the nail bed itself, then the no-chip or gel polish, and then a topcoat. It looks SUPER CLEAN and literally perfect. Mine last anywhere from 4-6 weeks usually. I ALWAYS wear gloves when I do dishes and try to keep my hands and cuticles moisturized.

I’ve never done the extensions but gel extensions are a healthier way to add length/shape to a nail as opposed to a full set of acrylics.

I’ll make a separate post of where to get mani’s in Chicago if you’re local or visiting! xo

Ah! Congrats to your family – even if it’s a formality, it’s still such a fun milestone. Some of my ideas –

1) Membership to a wine/beer/champagne club if they drink/like a certain winery or kind of wine. My favorite winery in Napa, Clos du Val always has really nice selections and make for a really nice night in.

2) Weekend package for hotel/dinner/spa treatment or activity as a “honeymoon.”

3) Inexpensive and kind of cheesy – but the digital picture frames that multiple people can upload photos directly to – my sister lives in AZ and we got her one since she’s not with the rest of the family and it’s so fun to surprise them with pictures. Now I want one! You could pre-load it with pics of your family through the years if you have photos!

4) Fishing boat accessories? IDK what that would include but I’m assuming there are fun gadgets that could trick it out? LOL

Let us know what you decide on! xo

It’s SO common for ex-athletes to struggle finding balance. That’s how I came to find group exercise! I was a competitive swimmer my WHOLE life and had no idea how to a) workout alone and b) workout on dry land LOL. The habit development section in this months lecture can help you start small AND the workout templates I provide on my blog can also help! ♥️ Thank you for being here!!
