A good swimsuit is hard to come by! The Strappy Back One Piece from @aerie has been my very favorite the last few years. It’s comfortable and flattering and comes in a bunch of different colors. But I’m on the hunt for some more options. And bonus if I can find something with SEWN IN bra cups! Where’s your favorite place to shop for swimsuits? And do you have a favorite style at that shop? 
If you’re a smoothie lover, a high-powered blender will be your best friend. A couple months ago I got this @blendtec Designer 725 blender and I’ve been super impressed so far. It’s got a powerful motor and digital interface so it’s basically like a smart-blender and tells you mid-blend if you need more liquid. Blendtec gave me a coupon code to share with y’all! Use code HOMEANDKIND20 to get 20% off (stacks on top of the sale already happening). I’m also curious if you use your blender for things other than smoothies ... I want to try soups or salsas or ice cream but haven’t yet. Have you had good results blending any of those things? #blendtecambassador 
Teachers have really gone above and beyond this year, right? They’ve had to work with a really tough situation and I think the sentiment that they’ve “made lemonade out of lemons” really holds true this year. I put together these lemonade-themed gift baskets and free printable gift tag. You can see more details for what I put inside each one and grab the gift tag on my blog (linked in stories or through the link in my profile). Tag a friend who might want to use this free printable for their teachers as well! Let’s share the love 🍋 💛 
5 years ago I was reading a book written by Sheri Dew, a woman who I’ve come to look up to in so many ways, and this quote jumped off the page at me. I’ve still got a long way to go, but the older I get and the more I lean into my purpose, the more confident I am and the less concerned I am about validation from the world. If we’re constantly comparing ourselves to those around us and focusing on our shortcomings and inadequacies, there’s just no extra bandwidth for seeing the good in ourselves and others. Imagine a world where we all stopped comparing ourselves, stopped hyper-focusing on what other women are wearing, saying, eating, or doing. Think about how much time we as women spend analyzing the way our bodies look and how our house and family compare to everyone else’s. Can you imagine? Can you imagine how much time we’d have on our hands if we stopped doing those things? What are all those hobbies or projects you’ve been wanting to work on but don’t have “time” for? Who are those women around you that need your service and care but aren’t getting it because you don’t have enough “time”? I know we’re all stretched thin as women and we certainly wear many hats. But what if we took off the hat of extreme comparison? What if we turned that hat into one of a cheerleader? Not the pom-pom kind of cheerleader, but the kind who lifts other women up. The kind who believes in other women and cheers them on through ups and downs. The kind who doesn’t see another woman’s success as her failure. Wouldn’t that be something? #internationalwomensday
