lauriel

I am a designer and non-stereotypical engineer with an eye for style, love of design, and never-ending hunger for good food.

I love celebrating and sharing small joys that bring sparks of joy and fun to life - quite necessary for happiness!

For those of you who are aspirational and exploring self-expression, want to discover new great products with the little spare time you have, or seek to regain focus on yourself, I hope to give you ideas and inspiration for your beauty, style, relaxation, and emotional well-being.

xoxo,
lauriel

New Mama Style: Simple and Relaxed for Utmost Comfort

by laurielupdated on 13 October, 201613 October, 20162 Comments on New Mama Style: Simple and Relaxed for Utmost Comfort

So psyched to have my body back after pregnancy! Sure, it’s in different condition from a year ago: some new curves (boobs expand a surprising amount for milk manufacturing), some extra pounds, and a rather marshmallow-y abdomen… but it’s fully …
