An anti-aging serum I love, the best classic pair of jeans, and the dietary staple you may want to reconsider.

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you’ve been having a restful weekend. Yesterday, we took our first family nature walk of the season (it’s been far too cold and icy to attempt it with kids the last few months), and I was so happy to spot the first crocuses and snowbells popping out of the ground (photographic evidence above!). Between the flowers and the return of daylight savings today, spring really does feel very close.

I got a late start this morning because of the time change, and also because we had a traditional Sunday slow breakfast (waffles!), so I hope you still have a moment to sit with a warm beverage and browse through some favorite things with me…here we go!

I really enjoyed this podcast episode and found it to be packed with valuable insights on letting go of negative thoughts, self doubt and overthinking.

I am have been searching high and low for an effective, high quality and safe retinol-alternative, and have finally found it! This new overnight serum from my favorite beauty brand, Osea, is exactly what I’ve been looking for - it’s a natural, algae derived bio-retinol that will smooth out skin without irritation. After using the serum, I slather on their anti-aging night cream for super soft skin in the morning. Use code LAURENKR10 for 10% off your order!

This soup looks perfect for the winter-into-spring transition that’s happening right now in the Northeast (it’s still so cold but little flowers are starting to pop out of the ground!).
