A few of my new favorite finds for the home today – there is something here for every room in your house!!
That is an air conditioner in the bottom center. I mean. It’s so pretty, and comes with different panel colors, and its wifi controlled. What an upgrade from traditional window units! The woven trunk would be perfect at the end of a bed for storage! I’m obsessed with the colors of that green lamp. And that swivel chair has me dreaming.

This post has a little bit of everything because it’s in partnership with Nordstrom, and they are just THE BEST at carrying a lovely curated variety of products at a range of prices. There’s a lot to unpack here in this blog post, including one of my favorite easy recipes, so let’s just jump in.
Since we are all spending more time in our kitchens it’s nice to have quality products that you trust. I can’t believe I’m admitting this but the skillet I have been using is from when we registered for our wedding, and we’ve been married for 14 years… The non stick coating was coming off, and well that is just so so bad to continue to cook with a pan like that. I’m happy to report that we’re now cooking with our new Food52 12 inch covered nonstick skillet and it’s like a whole new world.
Plus, the skillet is really pretty. I love this light blueish-grey interior color.
Speaking of pretty colors my pink cowl neck tunic top is one of my new favorite shirts to wear. I wear it around the house with sweats or leggings (it has nice longer length) or out with jeans! It’s seriously so soft and is a great price ($39)!! I love all the color options.
And my leather ballet flats are so comfortable and cute. They have a foam cushioned foot bed and a grippy rubber sole. These come in all of these pretty colors above, I have the light green shade.
Another tool I’m loving right now are my new set of silicone utensils. I put these in a few of my holiday gift guides, and decided I needed a set for myself. These are super durable but still flexible, and they’re really soft and comfortable to hold. They’re dishwasher safe, stand up to high heat, and BPA-free! I have the maple color. Did you notice the two in one spoon? Great for taste testing, which I happen to do a lot of when I’m cooking.
chef’s knives:
pink | multi color | smoked salt | blue
I just love all of the coordinating shades of color in the Food52 collection at Nordstrom.

Lastly as promised, I wanted to share one of my favorite easy recipes that I make all of the time. I usually make this Cauliflower Rice Buffalo Chicken dish for lunch but it’s also a really great dinner meal, too! Super simple! I use 1 frozen bag of Trader Joes Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry + any kind of chicken I have (rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken nuggets, frozen chicken, really anything chicken you like) + your favorite kind of hot sauce or buffalo sauce (I like Red Clay). Sometimes I heat the chicken separately in our toaster oven air fryer, our oven, or in the skillet with the rice.

Man all the resort pieces showing up on my favorite websites are making me reallll lustful for a tropical getaway. In case it isn’t obvious resort is my favorite wardrobe category…
Oh my goodness those pink Loeffler heels. So fun. This mini print dress is 100% adorable and I might have to have to have it. This coverup tunic dress is always a winner, I have it in so many patterns and their new styles are so cute. This long dress is a show stopper. And this Free People dress comes in a few cute colors and its nice and casual and pretty. It’s a good price, too!
The Marie Kondo collection for Container Store has dropped and it’s full of the prettiest organizing essentials and joy sparking pieces that could motivate even the clutter-iest (is that a word?) person to whip their closets and workspaces and drawers into shape. I may not have lasted more than 10 minutes watching her show, but I lasted a good 20 minutes studying her essential organizing collection. Take a look…
So so good isn’t it?! All of the rattan boxes and bins and trays are sparking my joy. These hangers OMG. REALLLL pretty. This linen jewelry box, YES please. The pantry canisters!!
Shop the whole Marie Kondo for Container Store collection right here!
Sharing some of the things that I’m really loving right now!
This block print mask, it’s super cute and really comfortable.
Our new Breville toaster oven / air fryer!! SOOO much prettier than our old one and wayyyy better. I’ve used the air fryer function for leftover chicken and fries and it’s like magic. So excited about that.
Cozy colorful socks and chunky ankle boots!
I have this amazon sweatsuit set in that heather blue color and can’t say enough about it – super comfortable, nice simple fit, and a great price! Lots of color options, too! Here are the sweatpants and here is the sweatshirt.
This new little fish hook on our outdoor shower. I love his direction.
I’ve been logging many many hours at my Roland keyboard. I love having it and am so grateful that it was what I needed to get started, but I think it’s time to upgrade to a full piano. We’ll definitely still use this though between kid lessons, the Alexa and speaker function, and the portability.
I know I’ve spoken about this RMS radiance base before but I truly love it even more now that my complexion is a little lighter. It’s the perfect mix of warmth and shimmer and highlight. And it plumps and firms the skin at the same time. I mean!
My headphones have been getting used overtime lately thanks to long walks – these are a great price on Amazon by the way. Any good audible books you recommend? I’ve been going through all of Mindy Kaling’s books!
THE bralette that puts all of my other bralettes to shame. If you buy one thing from this post let it be this, trust.
Ending with something that makes my kids so happy, their bubble wrap calendars. This is the second year they’ve used them and they’re just so fun – you get to punch the bubble for each day and color code all of your special dates!
My first New and Now post of 2021 and I’m feeling like it’s pretty strong! We’ve got your comfy clothes (hello cozy but super cute JCrew chambray sweatpants), something for everyday errands and lunch with a friend (cutest stripe pullover top) and something for vacation (yellow gauzy slouchy perfection)!
Also isn’t that peplum top with the little star-like flower print sort of the cutest? I want to just step right into that photo. And you know that I love that navy blue mini dress, so cute. And that cute quilted jacket is 40% off today!
Happy Monday, Everyone!
