For the second month in a row I have failed to share a new blog post on the planned date - 1st of the month. As you may have read on our Instagram stories, January and February were filled beyond the brim with illness for everyone in my family. We had multiple bouts of strep throat, a round of the regular old stomach bug and a horrific week of norovirus, several stints of the common cold and a couple ER visits for allergic reactions. It was just about too much and everything else in life became less important.

That said, we are all feeling much better. And I’m optimistic that spring will bring good health and many other good things. That is a little Easter egg…keep your eye on our Instagram page because an announcement is coming…

Styling Breakdown

Today’s styling breakdown is very simple - art. We had a ton of interest in this piece when we recently posted a carousel of images from the tween girl’s bedroom of our Sevinor Project. It is a digital image and you can print it is large as you would like - link HERE.

Fashion Find

I just bought this Nike yoga pullover and I’m obsessed. I love snagging end of season sales like this one - link HERE. And I love wearing clothes that bridge the gap between comfortable and cute without looking like I’m actually heading to the gym. I may be fooling myself with the latter part of that sentence.

Keeping Myself Busy

I’m in the car A LOT. Just last week I made the journey from Lynnfield to Watertown and then straight up to Marblehead. If you’re not from around here, it’s not a particularly efficient plan and I was in the car for the better part of my afternoon. I try to multi-task with calls to clients and vendors and customer service (my least favorite), but I also listen to books and podcasts. And I’m constantly looking for new content to keep me entertained.

I recently asked our Instagram followers to share their favorite true crime podcasts, one of my favorite genres. And now, I’m very excited to share the wealth with you. First, here are three podcasts that I have listened to and highly recommend: The Retrievals, S-Town, Bear Brook. Second, here are what followers shared:

Runaway Princesses

Crime of the Truest Kind

Dr. Death

Dirty John

Serial

Crime Junkies

My Favorite Murder

Local Fun

I don’t have anything particularly unique to share for local fun in March. Truth be told, I’m just trying to stay healthy. But I did discover that Lynnfield Marketstreet has an events page and I love a lot of the March events. There is a code (BYOB) to get a free manicure for your bestie at Miniluxe. There is a special dinner at Burton’s in celebration of Women’s History month. Banana Republic is having a friends and family sale (40% off). And a lot more.

There you have it. Until April (which is 2 weeks away!!!).

Cheers, Leah
