6.20 Friday Faves

6.20 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope that you’ve had an amazing week. I’m sorry for the crickets over here this week – I only managed to publish two posts because we were living up our last few days in Sevilla. One of the biggest gifts to myself during this long trip was that I pre-wrote 12 blog posts before we left. It gave me the chance to truly unplug and enjoy, and now we’re home and it’s back to the routine! I’m pretty proud of myself because for almost the entire trip, I was solo parenting. The girls and I flew across the ocean to Barcelona, enjoyed some days before our cruise and after our cruise there, did the Disney cruise, flew down to Sevilla, spent 4+ weeks there, and the Pilot was able to join us for the past few days. He was finishing up training since he headed back to the airlines, and while we were hopeful the timing would work out with the trip, I didn’t work out that way. Since he was going to be gone anyway, the girls and I went for i...

What Is the Difference Between Lumecca IPL and Regular IPL?

What Is the Difference Between Lumecca IPL and Regular IPL? If you’re researching non-invasive ways to tackle sunspots, redness and uneven skin tone, IPL—Intense Pulsed Light—likely features on your radar. By sending controlled pulses of light into the skin, IPL gently breaks down unwanted pigmentation and tiny broken vessels, which your body then clears away naturally. Lumecca represents the latest evolution of this technology , promising more targeted energy delivery and, in many cases, visible improvements in fewer sessions. How Conventional IPL Improves Complexion Traditional IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of wavelengths (roughly 500–1,200 nm) into the upper skin layers. Those wavelengths are preferentially absorbed by melanin in age spots and haemoglobin in fine vessels. As these structures heat and fragment, your lymphatic system removes them over subsequent days and weeks. Multiple appointments—typically three to six, spaced four to six weeks apart—ensure sufficient energy...

my Spanish journey

my Spanish journey Sharing more about how I’ve been working on Spanish over the past couple of years and what has helped me the most. Spoiler: Duolingo did nada for me. Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a lovely morning. We did a waterpark and theme park yesterday, so I have a feeling today will be a little more low-key. Now that we’re heading into our 4th week in Spain, I figured I’d do a little update on my Spanish journey and some of the things that have helped me the most. I think that as an adult, it’s so important to be a *beginner* at things; to challenge your brain in a new way and try out the hobbies and activities you’ve always wanted to do, even if you’re not good at first. I know many of my friends out there have a goal of learning a new language, so I hope this post is helpful! I’d also love to hear any strategies that have worked for you. My Spanish journey A little background: – Growing up, my mom’s side of the family often spoke Spanish. Because ...
