Happy Wednesday, babes! We have another requested topic from y’all: how we online shop on a budget. It may seem obvious to some, but there really are some good tips that we have adopted over the years. Speaking of budget, one of our favorite places to shop all thing accessories and shoes is Sole Society. We literally LOVE every single thing they have and they are so affordable. These sandals are perfect of spring and the color is so flattering!
We paired it with our favorite denim shorts (wearing size 24) and this white tank that is SO comfy! This bag is a great neutral and the strap is adjustable! Of course this pom hat is so fun. You can wear it with a regular outfit, like this one, or to the pool/beach.
And, now for our tips on shopping online on a budget:
- Shop on a budget sites:
- Shop big sales:
- Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale
- Shopbop Sale
- Black Friday/Cyber Monday
- Shop basics off-season: basically shop summer things in the fall, winter stuff in the spring, etc.
- Check “Sale”sections on websites
- we ALWAYS browse these sections. You never know what you’ll find!
- Be on the lookout for discounts:

We had been wanting to share some of these ideas for a while now, since we eliminated coffee. We had been getting some questions on it, so we wanted to talk about why we eliminated it, and what methods we are using to get energy now! Before we get into that, we wanted to share this dressed up short look that is perfect for date night or a night out with some girlfriends! We paired

This jacket is a great piece year-round and can be dressed up or down!
So, a lot of you are probably wondering why we eliminated coffee. And, the answer isn’t super simple, but basically, we both are suffering from Adrenal Fatigue, so we eliminated it to help with that and our anxiety, and it really has helped a TON. At first, it was not easy, but we feel so much better. We are sleeping better, feel less anxious, have less headaches, and better digestion. Of course, we are not saying to eliminate it, but for us, it was a good move. We will still have decaf a lot, just because we love the taste of coffee!
For energy, here is what we have been doing:
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. The sun FINALLY came out yesterday, and it was amazing. Y’all, we have literally had rain for over a week, and it was literally starting to get so depressing. We are both headed on a short little getaway together that is much needed. You all probably can tell that we usually will go on trips ( we traveled a ton last spring and summer for the blog) a lot, but the last time we took a trip that wasn’t work-related was like… never, haha. We know that sounds SO silly, but literally almost everything we do is related to work in some way or another. We are pretty burnt out, so we decided to take a mini vacay that allowed us to really slow down. We wanted to kind of open up a little about that, but before we do, we wanted to talk about this spring outfit that is just perfect and SO easy! The main star of this outfit:
We paired one of 
And, now for our main topic: honesty hour about…Instagram. We want to preface this by saying that we LOVE what we do, and are eternally grateful for all of you all, especially those of you who have been following us for a long time. If you all aren’t bloggers, you probably haven’t noticed anything funky with Instagram, and trust us, if we weren’t so immersed in the social media world, we probably wouldn’t have, either. Instagram has gotten kind of funky recently in probably the last year, specifically the last couple of months. They changed the feed so it is not chronologically in order (similar to Facebook), and now people’s posts are just kind of all over the place. It doesn’t matter what time of day you post, some of your followers will either not see the post, or it will just get “hidden” somewhere.
It can honestly be so discouraging on our ends. Obviously, our job unfortunately places a lot of weight and focus on numbers (follower amounts, likes, etc), and in turn, we kind of use those numbers to rate our “success”, if that makes sense. It sounds so silly, we know, but it is kind of the reality. Because of this new algorithm, and people’s posts not being seen, there have been opportunities for brands and influencers to purchase “likes” and followers. Of course, like any other industry, comparison is a real thing. Trust us, we have read countless articles and have tried to not get caught in the “comparison trap”, but if you’re already in a down mood, and the comparison mood crawls up on you, it i just not a good combination, haha.
Again, we want to express how grateful we are for all of you that support us and send us super sweet, encouraging messages. It truly means the world to us and makes our days and weeks! We definitely try and focus that energy on the positives, but we just wanted to be more honest about it since we feel like nobody really talks about it.
In case you have not been seeing a lot of our posts on Instagram (we did get a lot of messages from you girls saying that, in fact, you were missing a ton of our posts), if you “like” and comment something on our pictures more frequently, you should start seeing more of our posts in your feed. Some of you all told us you tried that, and it actually worked, so that is really encouraging!

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. We are in El Paso visiting our parents for a Jewish holiday, Passover, that starts tonight! Our parents are going to have people over, and to be honest, we are not usually fans of a long Seder, haha. We just want to get to the part where we have dinner;) We are both probably going to wear some kind of dress or skirt (more Easter and spring dress ideas in 
This outfit is so basic, but it is so easy. Sometimes, simple is just better. We feel like it is one of those outfits where you feel like you need to add something to it, like a necklace, or another accessory, but this is simple and works perfectly. Who wants to mess with easy and comfy?

When spring and summer roll around, we are major fans of not only white, but embroidery, too! If it has embroidery on it, we want it;)
