Today starts a weekend of beauty events and special sales at Dillard’s Short Pump.
I’ve gotten to know the team at Dillard’s through my work with Short Pump Town Center. And it’s been exciting to learn about their big beauty department renovation. One of my favorite makeup artists from Bobbi Brown, Zoe, recently joined the team and helped launch the Bobbi Brown counter there. They’ve also just added CREED, Jo Malone, La Mer, and Perfumes de Marley.
Almost every beauty counter is running some kind of special free gift or event from 10/14-10/16
We stopped by to learn more about all the special things they have planned so that we can help spread the word.
We couldn’t resist adding a little creativity to our promotional photos. We were inspired by Jordan Matter’s 10-minute photo challenge on YouTube (special thanks to my firefighter friend David for sending this to me in a Facebook message a few years ago!) to enlist the help of ballerina Joey of Richmond’s Stavna Ballet.
Stavna Ballet is a local ballet company made up of dancers from all over the country. I recently joined its board.
Each year Stavna hosts a fundraiser gala to support it’s non-profit outreach program, Stavna Reach. This year’s gala is Thursday 10/21.
It’s going to be so fun to get dressed up, see friends and meet new people. Tickets to the gala start at $65. We’d love to see you there!

The limited time offering will be available all day long nationwide starting Sept. 1, alongside fan favorite Apple Fritters, Blueberry Muffins and Cinnamon Rolls
(CHICAGO, IL; Aug. 17, 2021) — Your go-to order at McDonald’s® just got a little sweeter. Beginning Sept. 1, we’re adding delicious bites of joy to the McCafé Bakery line-up with a new Glazed Pull Apart Donut, available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide.
Popping up just in time for Fall, the light and airy Glazed Pull Apart Donut is a unique twist on a classic donut that fans are sure to love. Coated in a delightful, sweet glaze, the tear apart bites make it both shareable (if you’re into that) and perfect for enjoying throughout the day. Start your morning by dunking your bites into a McCafé Premium Roast Coffee or treat yourself to an afternoon pick-me-up… like all our bakery items, the Glazed Pull Apart Donut is available all day long.
Our Glazed Pull Apart Donut is the first limited-edition offering to join McCafé Bakery. In 2020, we introduced our Bakery line with three delectable treats—the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin and Cinnamon Roll—which became instant fan-favorites. The McCafe Bakery lineup joins our full breakfast menu. From the introduction of the Egg McMuffin in 1971, to Breakfast Burritos (1991) and McGriddles (2003), McDonald’s has been a leader at breakfast for nearly 50 years.
So do-nut delay! Get your Glazed Pull Apart Donut in-restaurant or via the Drive Thru, directly on the McDonald’s App with Mobile Order and Pay or delivered to your front door through McDelivery. And don’t forget to sign up for MyMcDonald’s Rewards* to earn points on every dollar you spend at McDonald’s—unlocking free, craveable favorites across the menu.

Blogger Favorites From The Container Store
*In partnership with The Container Store.
The Container Store is finally in Richmond!
It’s been so cool to see everyone excited about something new in our city.
I’d never been to The Container Store before I heard that they were coming to Richmond. They have soooo many cool things I didn’t even know existed.
I’ll start by telling you some of my favorite things, and you can also scroll through for links to the favorite products as well as details about projects done by other bloggers who worked on the campaign.
It was so fun to learn not only about The Container Store and all they have to offer but learn about all of these women and see their organized creativity in action.
Each of them have different needs/lifestyles, so I think you’ll each find ideas to relate to and projects that inspire you.
I also love that The Container Store Partnered with a local Richmond Charity, The Children’s Hospital at VCU, to benefit from sales during the opening celebration. Here’s a photo of the team with the over $11,000 donation check.
Ps: I cannot do a post without mentioning that The Container Store is dog-friendly. As in, you can bring your dog with you into the store to shop. I think this is the cutest thing.
“At The Container Store, we’re proud to call ourselves animal-lovers! In addition to our wide range of pet food storage products, we also love it when our furry, four-legged customers visit us at our store locations. Our stores have always been pet-friendly, so customers can feel perfectly comfortable shopping with their pets on a leash or in the shopping cart.”
my favorite things
Before I ever went to a The Container Store location in-person, I bought these white lacquer boxes after seeing them online. I keep this next to my couch with skincare products and alcocol wipes. Like a lot of home decor, it’s moved around my house and I’ve used it for a bunch of different things. I looked back at my email to see when I ordered it and found the confirmation and shipping notices from 2017. So in five years, it’s held up pretty great! This is the large size, and it would be perfect for photos.
I love clear, acrylic shelves. these are perfect for adding extra space and they match everything. I hung two next to my vanity/desk to store products and jewelry. These come in several sizes – even one wide enough for displaying shoes.
These laundry baskets from Curver are my favorite. They are super sturdy and don’t crack or bend when you’re moving them around.
(We learned how to roll towels like a fancy spa while we were quarantined)

Catherine and Rebecca both worked with one of The Container Store’s closet design experts.
It was so cool to watch over Zoom as they compared photos of their spaces with mockups in their design software and then to see the final results look so great.

Fridge Organization with Brittany of Eating Bird Food
Brittany is the nutritionist, recipe creator and blogger behind Eating Bird Food. She’s also the author of Salad Every Day, Fit With Five, and Eat Well with EBF.
Ps: I personally love her recipes. The Chicken Fajita Soup is a favorite and I just tried and loved some of her energy balls.
Of course Brittany’s fridge is a food-lovers dream. Every day, she needs to easily access all kinds of ingredients. She shared a before/after of her fridge organization on Instagram stories, and you can see some of her favorite items from The Container Store below.
I’m so excited to have my fridge completely reorganized. This is one of my favorite organizing projects that I’ve ever done.

Before these cubbies, we had their toys …strewn all around the table. It was atrocious. But now that we have these new cubby storage bins, everything is kept out of sight, except for the larger items. And they almost feel on display to me.
