How to Make Lip Balm in 5 Minutes

Instead of watching the Super Bowl last weekend, I made lip balm with the girls. 😆 And as a mom who isn’t naturally crafty, I was shocked by A) how fun it was, and B) how quick and easy it was! (It seriously took all of five minutes.)

Here’s how we did it:

How to Style Chelsea Boots

My six-year-old daughter Emma recently informed me that she only wants to wear “black clothing from Zara.” I have to admit that briefly, my heart broke a bit that she no longer wanted to wear smocked dresses, but after seeing what Emma picked out, I was influenced by my six-year-old daughter and bought Chelsea boots. Turns out Emma is really cool. And I want to be like her when I grow up. ;) So here is how to style Chelsea boots three ways.

How to Style Veja Sneakers 3 Ways

As you may already know, I am a big fan of Veja. It’s a sustainable French sneaker brand that caught my attention a couple seasons past when shopping for Lucy and Emma’s back-to-school shoes. Later, I took a deep dive and decided to test out a couple of styles for myself. I loved the Campo, which has a minimalist design and is made from textured leather. The chunkier sole looks amazing paired with jeans and even dresses alike. Not only do I love how versatile this sneaker is, but also how it gives even the most casual look an elevated French style, so I styled it three ways to show you.

Sweater / Jeans / Blazer / Bag / Scarf / Beanie / Veja Sneakers

These sneakers even look chic styled with a blazer. I found this gorgeous plaid blazer that’s on major sale at the moment. I’d wear it with a soft camel-colored sweater, a good pair of black jeans, a leather and suede crossbody bag, and throw on a matching ribbed beanie and scarf to keep you extra cozy. For further accessorizing, don’t be afraid to don your prettiest pearl earrings and a matching watch to keep the look chic and preppy.
