Mother’s Day 2022 Gift Guide
I might be biased but mom’s have the hardest job IN THE WORLD so please, spoil the mom in your life everyday but especially on Mother’s Day… What we want: Self Care – This can take the form of a spa experience, makeup, skincare, reading a book uninterrupted, taking a bath etc…The gist here is to give us some time to do whatever it is we want to do without being asked a question or taking care of anyone besides ourself for an extended period of time. Jewelry – Take whatever you would spend on flowers and put it away to save for a piece of sentimental jewelry for mom.…

What You Need For Travel With a Baby Or Toddler…
Gone are the days of traveling light! Make peace with it now, traveling with your kid requires a LOT of crap. These are my must have items for a more seamless travel day & trip- I always opt to bring my own travel crib vs something that the hotel might provide. My reasoning for this is twofold, 1 is that Wylder is already familiar with our travel crib so it makes that initial adjustment that much easier and 2 I know it works with the Slumberpod which is essential for sharing a space with a baby/toddler while traveling. The Slumberpod looks like a tent you place OVER you childs crib.…

my favorite/life-saving baby items (birth-4 months)
Wow, so it only took me 15 weeks to get around to compiling this list for you guys BUT I guess it’s better late than never! (At least thats what I’m telling myself)… I think it is definitely worth noting that you’re going to get a million different recommendations from any parent you ask. That is because babies are PICKY. Like so so so picky it’s insane. From what paci they like, to which bottle works for them to what they let you lay them down in. With that said, these are what have worked best for us so far.

Pregnancy body care must haves…so far
Being that I am a total skin and body care nerd, one of the things I was SUPER excited about when I got pregnant was to discover a whole new world of body care products, and believe me there are more than you would ever imagine. I am now convinced that if you want to invent a product to get rich the Mommy-To-Be market and baby market is where its AT. Keep 2 things in mind when looking over this list. 1. I am 7 months pregnant and discovering new things DAILY…Thank you Instagram ads. 2. I am trying as best I can to keep things natural but not everything…

My 5 minute everyday makeup *tutorial*
I am NOT a hair and makeup girl…I can’t blow dry my hair out, I can’t apply a winged liner (or any liner for that matter) and I have never “baked” anything on my face (don’t even know if that’s a real thing). What I can do is apply a simple and efficient *mostly* non toxic “No Makeup Makeup” look. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section. XO, Hellowhitney. Products Used: Kosas – Revealer Concealer in 5.5 // Cream Blush in 8th Muse // 10-Second Liquid Eyeshadow in Globe // Wet Lip Oil Gloss in Dip SuperGoop…

My Everyday Jewelry
Whenever I post a picture or story on Instagram I get a ton of questions regarding my jewelry. First of all, thank you, I never knew I was fashionable until now and I am just so flattered you all appreciate a mix matched vibe as much as I do. My approach on jewelry is very simple-I wear what I like and it doesn’t matter to me if its a $1000 piece or a $10 piece. I love to mix and match high end piece with super affordable (which is actually the concept that birthed my little side project Lo Hi Goods). Please check out this video for a full explanation…

How I help the planet everyday – You Don’t have to do everything to do something.
I feel like the word “conservation” is intimidating to a lot of people. That there’s this idea that in order to start conserving and being more environmentally conscientious you have to take this gigantic leap and turn your life upside down. Like showering less, or not using soap that suds up, and converting your combustion engine to run off old french fry oil…You don’t. Here’s the thing, everything you do to help does help and just because you can’t do it all at once shouldn’t dissuade you from doing anything at all. I’m going to share with you all the small changes that I’ve made that make a difference and…

Skin is in – Summer Skincare Special
I get a LOT of questions regarding my skincare, like a lot. Summer time is shit for our skin…winter is too actually. Basically any type of extreme weather doesn’t bode well for anyone with any skin problems. In the interest of being 100% transparent I think it’s important to note that I have never, ever had problem skin. I am blessed with amazing skin genetics and I have had around 5 pimples in my entire life. I am not pointing this out to brag, actually it’s quite the contrary, I am making a point to say this because I don’t want anyone thinking I have found the cure to acne…

A step by step guide on how to save the planet. JK we might be fucked…
This post is going to be structured completely differently than anything I have previously done because it’s not going to be something you read. It’s something you’re going to watch or listen to. I am lucky enough to know Jake Levine (@jakeclevine), who I am interviewing in this Vlog. Jake has a wealth of knowledge in climate change and environment but also in politics and law. He has graciously offered his time and brain to me to interview for this post and he was kind enough to also provide us with 5 calls to action that we can start immediately to do our part in reducing our carbon footprint, as…
