Fall hosting just hits different when the table is beautifully styled! 🤎🍂 Who says fall has to be all oranges and browns? I partnered with @target to create a warm, elevated tablescape with an unexpected touch of coastal blue! From beautiful pieces in Target’s Threshold collection to rich wood tones and layered textures, it’s all about creating a space that feels inviting, intentional, and perfect for gathering with the people you love. Because sometimes the most memorable moments happen right around the dinner table. ✨ What’s your favorite part of decorating for fall? #targetpartner #FallHosting #FallTablescape #TargetStyle by @carmenrenee

Behind the smile, there’s a battle you don’t always see. 🤍

Let’s talk about UTERINE FIBROIDS.

I’m living with a 15–16 cm fibroid and a uterus the size of someone who’s five months pregnant. The pain has become debilitating, and some days I’m relying on medication just to get through.

The physical pain is one thing, but the fear, anger, sadness, and frustration of waiting two months for surgery have been just as exhausting.

Behind the content, outfits, and smiles is a woman trying her best to navigate a difficult season while trusting God for healing. 🙏🏽

I’ve left a personal voice note on each slide because sometimes pictures don’t tell the whole story. 🎙️

To every woman silently battling fibroids, you are not alone. 🤍

Have you experienced uterine fibroids? I’d love to hear your story.

Girl, hyperpigmentation has overstayed its welcome! 😩🤎

I’m getting serious about my skincare journey and bringing you along — bare skin, dark spots, and all.

In my 40s, taking care of myself includes feeling comfortable showing up without a full face of makeup. So I’m working with my dermatologist, staying consistent, and giving my skin some patience. Because baby, I want overnight results, but we’re committing to the process. 😂✨

Swipe through for what I’m using, and follow along for skin check-ins as I go.

Are dark spots testing your patience too? 😩 by @carmenrenee

Baby, one thing about me? I refuse to let Monday humble me before 8 AM! 😂

I know I will be a question about my couch cover so comment COUCH if you want the link 🔗

As a mom of two, I’ve learned that a peaceful Monday starts with an intentional Sunday. A little tidying, laundry, kitchen reset, and prepping for the week ahead makes ALL the difference!

Because mamas, it’s not just about having a clean house. It’s about clearing the mental clutter, reducing the overwhelm, and creating a little more peace for the week ahead. 🤎

Now tell me, do y’all reset on Sundays, or are we just letting Monday do what it does? 😂👇🏽

Somewhere between “I want to be that mom” and “wait… that’s due tomorrow?” you’ll find me. 😂🤎

Welcome to Type D Diaries! I love a cute moment, I have every intention of planning ahead, and somehow I’m still at the store the night before. But baby, the memories WILL be made. 😭

Consider this my little corner for the moms with big ideas, full plates, and at least one permission slip somewhere in the car.

Tell me your most Type D mom moment so I know I’m not alone. 👀😂

Comment “MAXI” for the links to shop! 🛍️🤎

UNDER $50?! 😍🍂 Y’all, Amazon has absolutely NO business having fall maxi dresses this GOOD!

Because looking expensive and spending a fortune are two VERY different things, okay?! 👏🏽😂

We’re talking effortless, elevated, and giving ALL the fall vibes without breaking the bank! Whether it’s brunch, date night, church, or just wanting to look like you have your life together (even when you don’t 🤭), these dresses understood the assignment!

And YES, every single one is UNDER $50! 🙌🏽

Now tell me, which look is your favorite?! 👀🤎

A little boo basket for my long-distance bestie! 👻🤎

One thing about me, I’m going to love on the people who love on me! 🥹💕 Especially the ones who are always pouring into everyone else without expecting anything in return.

Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most. Just a little reminder that even from thousands of miles away, you can still show up for the people you love. 🫶🏽

Tag your long-distance bestie and remind her how much she means to you! 💌

Can we normalize NOT rushing through the holidays? 🍂🎃🤎

I know we’re all excited for Christmas, but there’s still so much magic to be made in the season we’re in!
Sometimes it’s the simplest moments that turn into the sweetest childhood memories. A cozy movie night, their favorite snacks, a little extra effort to make an ordinary evening feel special. 🥹

I’ve been wanting to do a Halloween movie night for my babies, and I’m so glad we made the time!
Here’s your reminder, mama: You don’t have to do it all, but make room for the moments that matter. 🤎
Now tell me, are we still enjoying fall or have y’all already pulled out the Christmas trees? 😂🎄

Comment LINKS for the outfit details! 🔗

Y’all, this @akira vest has me in a CHOKEHOLD! 😮‍💨🤎 The cream and olive combo, the waist, the drama of these wide-leg pants… somebody invite me somewhere immediately! 😂

And that green set y’all were tussling over? She deserves another moment! The peplum and cargo pants are doing EXACTLY what they need to do. 💚

Which look are we wearing—1 or 2? 👀

Comment “LINK” for the looks🔗🤎

Who else puts on a cute outfit to run one errand and suddenly needs somewhere else to go? 😂🤎

Give me good denim, a pretty top, and a bag that pulls it all together, and now picking up the kids might turn into “let’s grab dinner.” These are the everyday looks I love—easy to wear, a little polished, and still very much me.

Which look are you wearing—1, 2, or 3? 👀
