✨ 5 Simple Ways to Feel Less Stressed (and More You)

Some weeks feel like a blur, don’t they? Between work, errands, and family, life just doesn’t slow down.

This week on the blog, I’m sharing five easy ways to simplify your days without turning your life upside down.

They’re realistic, local, and actually fun to try.

Grab your coffee, take a breath, and see which one fits your life right now.

💕 My Go-To Mascara (That Doesn’t Smudge!)

Okay, I’ve tried a lot of mascaras in my life, and this one finally ended the smudge struggle.

Every “waterproof” formula I’ve used still left little black marks under my eyes by lunchtime.

The Tartelette Tubing Mascara doesn’t move. At all.

It keeps my lashes lifted and clean all day, and I love that it comes in both black and brown.
