Hi Cookies 💚
I’m taking a tiny little breather today because of the holiday, so there won’t be a new video. I’m resetting, resting, and letting my brain defrost for a second 😂 We’ll pick right back up on Tuesday, I have a fun share planned for you.
I also want to acknowledge that some of you are participating in the Blackout / No-Shopping week and some of you aren’t. I'm trying my best not to but I DO SEE A BED AND NIGHT STAND SET THAT IS ON GOOD DISCOUNT SO DONT JUGDE ME IF YOU SEE ME DOING THE SUPERMAN ACROSS A NEW BED AND FRAME IN FUTURE VLOGS. HOWEVER I love that this community is full of people with different perspectives and practices, and I always want to respect that.
Because of that, I’m going to share my Bloomingdale’s opportunity/content here on YouTube shorts (the same one I posted on IG and TikTok) since I had SO much fun creating it (and you know I showed the behind-the-scenes in my last vlog too 🫶🏽). I’ll also drop the wishlist I curated, not as a push to shop, but so you can revisit it after the blackout if that’s your preference. A lot of the pieces and deals will still be around.
Take care of yourselves today. I’ll see you Tuesday.
Love you, Cookies 💚

Hey Cookies,
I wanted to pause today and check in with you.
I won’t be posting a new video today, not because I don’t have content I’m excited to share, but because sometimes the world asks us to slow down and hold space. With the SNAP program ending tomorrow, the hurricanes devastating the islands, and so many families facing loss and uncertainty, it just didn’t feel right to drop a fashion episode today.

My prayers and energy are with everyone going through it right now. I’ll be sharing a few links below for anyone who wants to help spread the word, donate, or support relief efforts. 💛

Next week marks the start of "The Gray Edit"; my new fashion-focused series exploring everything from styling and shopping to the intellect and intention behind personal style. The first few episodes will focus on stretching your wardrobe, finding balance between need and want, and approaching fashion with heart and awareness.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you. What kind of fashion content or style challenges would help you most as we head into the holiday season? Comment below and let me know what you’d love to see.

Stay safe, stay soft, and remember These COOKIES don’t crumble. 🍪
xx, Carolyn

Hey Cookies! 💛🍪
Just a quick heads-up that there won’t be a new video dropping today. I want you all to enjoy your Friday vibes to the fullest! ✨
I’m hoping to get a fresh video up by tomorrow, but I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep! Quality always comes first. Thanks for your patience and all the love you show. Y'all are the best!

Stay cozy and have an amazing weekend!

Just grabbed some home pieces I had to share early because they’re that good. I’ll be unboxing them in next week’s vlog (out Tuesday), but I didn’t want to gate keep while they’re still in stock. 👀

Trust ! these look even better IRL and H&M Home really got their ish together with this drop. Neutral, elevated, and giving plush life living energy.
