More organized, you will be. On July 7th, Erin Condren officially released their Star Wars “back to school” collection. My son who is now TEN (if you can believe that) binge-watched all things Star Wars during 2020. So I could not wait to surprise him with his favorite Star Wars character-themed products. He even broke into song at one point when he saw baby Yoda.

There is something for every Star Wars fan in your life. From their fan-favorite “life planner” to academic planners, teacher lesson planners, and so much more. How amazing would a personalized lesson planner be for your child’s favorite teacher? I am saving that idea for “teacher appreciation” week this year!

Hello? Is there anybody out there? When I first started blogging over TEN years ago, I used to blog seven days a week. Then I went down to five days a week. And I did that for quite a long time. Then it went down to maybe once a month. If that. But here I am, still enjoying sharing with you guys. So thank you to my subscribers. For wanting my posts in your inbox. It means a lot.

I just wanted to pop on and share this #OOTD because everything I am wearing is on sale. If you use Like to Know It, you can follow me and shop all of my looks here. It’s a great place to get outfit inspiration and shop your favorite bloggers’ outfits all in one place.

Who here remembers the good ol’ 90’s straight leg jeans? The only difference between the pair I’m wearing and what I wore then, is the length. Our jeans used to be super long so we could wear our platform flip flops or wedges! LOL. I bought these about a year ago at The Gap (similar style here). Wait, is it The Gap or just GAP? I swear it used to be called The Gap. Showing my age again.

Anywho…I like wearing straight leg jeans with sandals as is. But with sneakers, I have to show a little ankle so I rolled these up once. I’ve gotten so used to high-rise jeans that these almost feel like low riders. Although my husband kept calling them my “mom jeans” so they must not be too low-rise.

FYI, I found these sneakers (btw, I call them tennis shoes IRL) in the men’s section. So if you ever find a pair that you love and your size is sold out, check out the men’s and go down two sizes. I am a true 7 so a men’s size 5 fits me perfectly.

Have you guys jumped on the straight leg trend? The millennials are making fun of us for our skinny jeans (not that we care) but if you want to impress your teenagers, I’ve linked a bunch of cute 90’s straight leg jeans for you below. Notice they are called 90’s jeans? Because we’ve already done this before kiddos….this ain’t our first rodeo. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about…well, send me a message and I’ll fill you in. I’m talking to you, mom. =)

I don’t know about you, but it has officially been a year since I have had a real pedicure. During quarantine life, I have completely rehabbed my toenails. And I have been so impressed with myself, that I thought I would share with you guys what worked for me so you too, can rehab your toenails!

I will spare you the pictures of what a disaster my toenails were before but let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. I am guilty of wearing toenail polish for way longer than I probably should. So my toenails never get a chance to breathe. My toenails had white spots that were flaky & dehydrated looking. After a bit of research, I came across this article and began my journey to healthy toenails! Isn’t the internet wonderful sometimes?

My first step was removing my toenail polish with acetone-free nail polish remover. I have always used nail polish remover with acetone because I thought it worked better (especially with pesky red hard to remove polishes). But I am now obsessed with tenoverten+‘s rose polish remover. It really feels like it is nourishing your nails as you remove your polish. Then I used a very fine nail file/buffer to remove some of the dry cracked spots on my toenails.

The next step is to soak your feet. Dr. Teals has a nice epsom salt foot soak but I just used plain water. Then I grabbed my favorite tool…my Earth Therapeutics Foot File. This thing will change your life. It is like a cheese grater for your feet. LOL! Be careful you don’t do it too much but if you have hard calloused feet like me, this thing is AMAZING. Your feet have never felt so soft.

Then the next step is to use CND’s RescueRxx Daily Keratin Treatment. This is what will really help treat the white spots (keratin granulations) on your toenails. I used it twice a day (morning/night) for two weeks straight. Sometimes I would also put a coat of Sally Hansen’s Vitamin E oil on top at night. Before bed, I made sure to slather my feet with Aquaphor and sleep with socks on. You will not believe how soft your feet are each morning!

After two weeks, my feet & toenails had never looked better! No more peeling white spots! I have since given myself a new pedicure and made sure to use Dr.’s REMEDY bio-sourced tea tree oil & biotin infused base coat polish. It is 10-free, gluten-free (I had no idea this was a thing), breathable and UV protected. I topped it with my usual nail polishes/top coat, but I feel good about starting with the healthiest of them all. I highly recommend adding it to your nail polish arsenal.
