blissful guest:Treats

Dear Traci,


Your role as a mom of two will leave you little time (if any) to treat yourself. But I'm going to make the case for these seven things.


Signed,

Fossil Re-Issue Handbag
Who has time for bags that slip off your shoulder? Ever try bending down to tie your shoe while trying to keep a toddler from darting into traffic, a newborn from falling out of a Bjorn and your bag from spilling its contents onto the street? Yeah, you don't need slippy bag problems, so a buttery brown messenger bag it is.

Frye Melissa Button Boot Flat (read: comfortable and practical) riding boots that will still be in style in 2020, which is about when you'll be ready to return to heels.

Urchin Cowl, Fringe Practically speaking, you need a scarf for those damp, chilly North West winters. Consider the pretty flower a bonus. Purchase, justified.

Outdoor Cafe Cardigan 1. It's charming. 2. You can go out into public without worrying about the size of your butt and your belly while you get back into pre-baby shape. 3. Do I need a three?

LumeLuxe Wild Herb and Cassis Candle Stop by Target and stock up. Sure, you used to splurge on Jo Malone, or Dyptych, but pricey diapers moved pricey candles way down on the priority list. Pssssst ... these are a best-kept secret and smell just as nice for a fraction of the cost.

Salted Echire Butter
Your French butter-lovin friend insists. No really, she does.

Whimsy and Spice Caramel Marshmallows
Up all night? Chugging coffee to get through your day? Add a sweet treat and it goes from functional to something a bit less utilitarian. Dare I say fun?
