Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas

January 31, 2021

galentines-day-gift-ideas

I have no idea when it became an official thing, but I’ve always celebrated Galentine’s Day. To this day my mom gives my sister and me small Valentines, as well as her best gals. So as I got older, I always gave gifts to my favorite women for the holiday. It wasn’t until last year that I was told by a friend that February 13th had been designated as Galentine’s Day! Here are some small but thoughtful Galentine’s Day gift ideas for your favorite gal pals. 

For The Fashionista

These inexpensive sunnies are so on-trend, perfect for your most fashionable friend. And oh-so-appropriate for Valentine’s Day! I’d give these to Arielle since she’s the most stylish little girl I know.

For The Nerd

[show_ms_widget id=”36057543″ image_id=”41929100″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

I use the term “nerd” affectionately since I believe we’re all nerds in our own right. But this shirt is perfect for the comic book or Avengers nerd in your life. My sister would love this Spiderman tank!

For The Friend that’s Always Cold

[show_ms_widget id=”36057547″ image_id=”41929104″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

I am always cold, and living in New England, most people I know are in the same boat. Seriously. These fleece-lined socks would be perfect for my mom, my sister, my hair stylist, my manicurist, etc., etc., etc.

For The Business Bestie

[show_ms_widget id=”36057541″ image_id=”41929098″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

As I’ve turned my focus away from working for others and towards working for myself, I’ve found that having a business bestie like my friend Jessie is an essential part of a female entrepreneur’s success. She’s that person that you can text or call with any kind of hair-brained idea and will walk through it with you and vice versa. And what’s better to give a boss babe than a pretty planner like this one to organize their busy life? 

For The Frequent Traveler

[show_ms_widget id=”36057544″ image_id=”41929101″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

As a frequent traveler, I know how hard it is to not be able to take off right now. It has been killing me! This unique cross stitch map encourages your travel-loving friends to pick up a new hobby while they reminisce about their travels, filling in each of their favorite destinations.

For The Pop Culture Princess

[show_ms_widget id=”36057538″ image_id=”41929095″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

If you can name the movie that this quote is from, this candle might be the perfect gift for you! If not, think of that pop-culture obsessed woman in your life and she will love it. 

For The Beauty Blogger

[show_ms_widget id=”36057542″ image_id=”41929099″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

Chanel makes the most pigmented lipsticks and their reds are especially luscious. This shade looks fantastic on any skin color and would be an ideal addition to any beauty blogger’s cosmetics case.

For The Cat Lover

[show_ms_widget id=”36057539″ image_id=”41929096″ width=”1500″ height=”1500″]

If you don’t love cats, then you are no friend of mine! This cheeky find would pretty much work for all the important women in my life – and most men! 

I’m so glad that there is a day to celebrate the women that love us and support us for who we are. And with the first female Vice President in the White House, it’s more important than ever to lift other women up. 

What are you giving your gal pals for Galentine’s Day this year?

I’m Pregnant!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Lately, I’ve been opening up a lot more about what Lately, I’ve been opening up a lot more about what I actually do for a living with the people who have recently come into my life through the girls’ school and activities. And honestly? The questions I get are fascinating.

✨“How did you get into this?”
⚡️“Do you just get a bunch of free stuff and post about it?”

Even the PR teams I work with sometimes ask, “So, is it just parties every night for you guys?”

The answer is... complicated.

Sometimes, yes. I have weeks where it feels like a nonstop party—which is exactly what last week was. And then there are weeks where the calendar is clear and it’s just the standard, beautiful chaos of raising a family. So, you can imagine the sheer adrenaline required when I have an event every night stacked on top of the regular family hustle.

I want to be completely clear: while it looks glamorous and fun on the grid, it is work. Work that I fiercely love, but work nonetheless. And believe it or not—I might get some heat for saying this, but that’s fine—it is work that not everyone is cut out for.

If that sounds like a challenge to you, I say go ahead and give the content creation life a try! If you make it, I will be the first one raising a glass and cheering you on, because I am never one to wish badly on someone else’s success. And if you don’t? Well, maybe you’ll understand exactly what I’m saying here. 😉

I love this life, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. Even when I am so wildly overextended that I end up collapsing with a cold by Saturday (guilty!).

But if you’ve ever been curious, here is what one of my truly busy weeks as a content creator and mom of two actually looks like. 🎬

April school vacation week, but make it chic. 🥂✨ April school vacation week, but make it chic. 🥂✨ 

Welcome to Part 2 of our favorite local “vacation” escapes!

We are balancing the beautiful chaos of kid energy with some unapologetic glamour this week. Because who says you can’t pair a stroller with a little coastal castle exploring?

Here is the itinerary for surviving (and actually enjoying) the week:

* The New England Aquarium: A Boston staple. Surviving the penguin exhibit before noon is basically an Olympic sport.
* House of Seven Gables: A dose of history with a slightly moody, coastal edge.
* Beauty and the Beast at the Citizen’s Opera House: Swapping the sneakers for something polished to take in some pure theater magic.
* The Malibu Barbie Cafe: Serving all the pink, playful sparkle, and unapologetic feminine energy for the girls.
* Hammond Castle: Stunning European stone architecture right on the water. No passport required.
* Castle Hill Crane Estate: We took the Cat’s Meow tour on Saturday and it was absolute twenties perfection.
* Avra: Sleek, chic, and strictly for the parents. You’ve earned a spectacular cocktail.

It’s high-low motherhood at its finest. No boarding pass required, just a great pair of sunglasses and a very strong espresso. ☕️🕶️

Happy Patriot’s Day! 🇺🇸✨ Most days, you’ll find m Happy Patriot’s Day! 🇺🇸✨

Most days, you’ll find me sharing our chicest travel itineraries, boutique hotel finds, and the beautifully curated chaos of packing stilettos and strollers for our next flight. And while building this travel diary is the absolute dream, I realized lately that I rarely drop a reel on the feed just for the pure, unscripted fun of it.

So today, we’re taking a detour from the polished programming. Throwing it back to 2022 in Lexington and 2023 in Concord, featuring a 3- and 4-year-old Arielle who was entirely committed to her role as a fiercely adorable Patriot soldier. History never looked so fabulous.

(A quick disclaimer before you turn the sound up: as much as it sounds like she’s passionately screaming “The bridges are coming!,” she is, in fact, warning us about the British. Context is everything, darlings. 🤺)

It’s a little raw, incredibly silly, and exactly the kind of offbeat memory that makes this whole motherhood gig the ultimate adventure. I am already plotting the exact moment I can wrangle Aurora into this very same uniform to reenact the reenactment.

Raise a glass to the history, the beautiful chaos, and the hilarious little moments in between! 🥂🗽

I was seven years old when I first saw Beauty and I was seven years old when I first saw Beauty and the Beast on stage. I had already decided I was destined to be an actress (obviously 💅), but sitting in that dark theater, watching a literal library come to life, I knew theater specifically was it. That was my spark.

Fast forward to this past week: a little bit of style, a lot of sparkle, and Broadway in Boston making absolute magic happen. Watching Arielle’s eyes light up exactly the way mine did when she is almost the same age? Utter perfection. 🥂✨

Beauty and the Beast is at the Citizen’s Opera House now through May 2.

What was the first show you ever saw that completely hooked you? Let me know below! 👇

Boston just got a whole lot more fabulous. 🪩🎀 SAVE Boston just got a whole lot more fabulous. 🪩🎀 SAVE this for your next Girls Day!

The Barbie Cafe has officially landed at Faneuil Hall (taking over the beloved Sugar Factory space for a few months!), and it is serving pure, unadulterated 1970s disco-glam magic.

Arielle, Aurora, and I put on our Barbie best to check it out on opening day, and it did not disappoint. From striking a pose in the life-size Barbie Box to eyeing everything in the boutique, 

it’s the ultimate girls’ day out. I especially loved seeing them championing women-owned businesses with Cooper Street Snacks on hand—because empowered women empower women (and we also just really love a good snack).

It’s the perfect excuse to dress up, channel your inner Holly Golightly with a pop of pink, and make some wildly fun memories with your kids.

✨ The Details:
📍 Faneuil Hall Marketplace (Former Sugar Factory)
🗓️ Open NOW through July 19, 2026!
🎟️ Tickets: Grab yours at https://bucketlisters.com/experience/malibu-barbie-cafe-boston 
Prices start at $25.15 per person - Includes: 90 Minute seating + $10 Food credit + $5 Merch credit

Confession time, darlings. Sometimes a girl just n Confession time, darlings. Sometimes a girl just needs to trade the toddler’s fish sticks for a flawless tin of caviar and a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne.

Last night, we got a VIP first look at Avra Estiatorio, and let me tell you—Back Bay just got a massive dose of Aegean glamour. Tucked into the new Lyrik development on Newbury Street, it feels exactly like stepping onto a whitewashed Greek island, complete with sculptural olive trees and the most stunning salt wall installations.

The move here is the signature seafood display. You literally pick your pristine, daily-catch fish right off the ice, and they grill it to perfection with hand-pressed olive oil from a family farm in the Peloponnese. It is brilliantly simple, and absolutely flawless.

I got to fully embrace the caviar-and-cocktails energy. It’s the ultimate soul reset.

Tag the person who owes you a chic Mediterranean date night below. Let’s get those reservations booked, loves! 👇🥂✨
