Friday Favorites {03.18.21}

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Happy Friday, friends! We’ve been surviving with Nathan gone most of this week, but he comes back tomorrow! And I’m so excited to have my guy back. Life is just better and easier with him.

I’ve got a hodgepodge of favorites this week. My favorite self-tanner, some BIG NEWS on the house front, a cute new spring dress, and of course, pictures of my babies. This wouldn’t be the Lane blog without pictures of the Lane boys! Hope you have a good weekend!

Last Sunday, the gray cold winter finally went away, and we spent all of the time outside! It’s always amazing to me how my attitude changes when I can spend some time outside, and when the boys can run around and play ball, go on walks, and explore outside. Yay for spring!

Friday Favorites {02.25.22}

Posted on by Lauren Lane

The world feels heavy again today. I find myself going from shocked and disbelief at what is happening in Ukraine. I think often about how scary it must be to be there right now. To one day be going about your every day business, and the next to be living in fear. It’s heart breaking. Maddening. And just wrong. I pray for the world’s response now.

I had written these Friday Favorites earlier this week. Before all of the madness happening in eastern Europe started. I do want to share them, as they have brought me joy this past week. But it felt wrong to not speak to the immeasurable pain happening now in Ukraine, and how helpless and sad it’s making me feel today.

Have a good weekend, friends. Hopefully one that looks a bit brighter than things do right now.

We celebrated two birthdays in our family last weekend: Nathan’s and my mom’s. The boys looooove birthdays. The singing, the cake, the presents that they rip open to help. What’s not to like??

Dry Winter Skin

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Come about November each year, I notice my skin, especially on my face, gets really dry. By mid-December, it’s so dry that it’s flaking. I’m habituatally consistent in making sure to use my standard moisturizer at morning and at night. But come the winter time, I found myself year after year, peeling off dry skin from my face and slathering on hand moisturizer on my face in an attempt to quell the flaky skin.

This year, I decided that I needed to find a better solution. Using my standard moisturizer that I use the rest of the year just wasn’t going to cut it during the dry winter months. There had to be a better way to take care of my skin. After visiting with my dermatologist and my aesthistician, I’ve found a combination of moisture warriors that work for me and don’t cause my break-out prone skin to break-out.
