Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Ben Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Bend, OR favorites:

Breakfast 🥞: @sparrowbakery - their French toast sticks are divine and their pasties are literal art. We ate here twice during our stay and would recommend it over and over again! 

Dinner 🍽 : @bendbrewingco - Fried cheese curds, fresh and flakey fish and chips and amazing burgers, with beautiful patio seating right on the River. Plus everything was reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend. 

Coffee Shop ☕️: @dudleysbookshopbend - the CUTEST bookstore/coffee shop combo. Grab a cup of coffee or cocoa and a book all in one stop.

Entertainment: Catch live music and play golf in a state-of-the-art golf simulator at @waltreillysbend and grab a late night snack while you’re at it!

Adventures: Explore Lava River Cave and hike to Tumalo Falls! Both are great adventures and not too intense of hikes - Tumalo Falls is a trail with several waterfalls featured in the above reel!

Bend was a dreamy slice of heaven and we cannot wait to go back - it’s the most delicious little town in a dreamy setting.

Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t ha Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t have to be all doom and devastation. It’s not always easy, but we’re finding more joy and beauty in just living and exploring and taking advantage of all the time and freedom this new chapter of life has to offer us. 

Our week in the Oregon Wilderness has given me so much life, so much clarity, and so much energy for creating a life that I love. I realized I have so much to give, so much to do, and so much to be, even if I don’t have children or a family the way I thought I would. 

I do have a family. And I do have Littles to still leave a legacy behind for - and an example to set for. And that’s enough for me.

Dustin has never given up or given in on creating Dustin has never given up or given in on creating a beautiful life together after our journey to have children ended last year. Instead, he has thrown himself into finding the next chapter of our story and I’ve been hanging on to him for dear life as he ran full force into our new future. 

After working so hard for so long, he signed and closed on a darling house in The Poconos, Pennsylvania that we will be turning into an air bnb this summer (and vacationing in it ourselves in the fall) 🥳

If you would have told me last October as we went through with my hysterectomy that we would have a vacation home in the East to spend the next October in, I would have laughed in your face. I’ve never doubted Dustin, but it seemed impossible to think about moving forward with new dreams and goals after our journey to have kids came to a crashing hault. 

But here we are - creating a life we love and doing our best to make the most out of the cards we’ve been dealt. 

I can’t wait to take you all on this new adventure (because guess who is in charge of furnishing and managing the new air bnb?) 

Thank you for always cheering us on. We love you.

We have to change the narrative around those going We have to change the narrative around those going through infertility journeys. We have to stop saying: “don’t give up - you’ll get your baby someday!” It’s doing a lot of unspoken damage to those of us in the throes of infertility. 

I understand that many say this to be positive and uplifting, but when we were faced with making a heartbreaking choice to end our infertility journey, I felt like I was giving up. Instead of confidently making a decision to remove the organ that was slowly killing me, I looked at other infertility accounts and saw the repeated message that if I kept on pushing through treatments, i too, would get my baby. I felt selfish and unsure that putting my health first was truly the right thing to do. There was almost nothing out there to help us find peace and validation in ending our infertility journey without feeling like massive failures.

I have felt so called to speak on this now that we’re in this next phase of life and to do my best to share a perspective I wish I had access to last year. I hope that by speaking up and sharing our life in this next chapter, we can help those who are looking for hope in moving on from infertility without a pregnancy or baby. 

If you are reaching the end of your journey, I want you to know that you are not giving up. You are not a failure. You are choosing to not let infertility destroy you. 

It’s okay to grieve the life you wanted, but I want you to know you can still build a life you love. 

You are not giving up.

7 Lipsticks For Fall

7 Lipstick Shades for Fall // Life with RosieAre you tired of me obsessing over fall yet? Hope not, because I’ve only just begun to get it out of my system! I’m super excited to bring you my 7 lipstick recommendations for fall time, mainly because this is the first fall time I’ve ever worn darker, bolder, vampier shades on my lips…ever. I’ve talked about how self-conscious I am about my teeth, but I’ve been trying really hard to get over that and to not let my worries about my teeth stress me out, get me down, or stop me from experimenting with fun shades.

Anyway, I was inspired to share my fall lipstick shades by Sydnee from Life Life Your Way and Jasmine from CS&S Blog; they both recently posted their fall lippie picks (and none of my picks were their picks, so there are a lot of options out there!) Also, I bought ALL of these lipsticks with my own money, so these are for sure my top recommendations that I honestly love. So, here are my 7 picks for Lipsticks for Fall!

7 Lipstick Shades for Fall // Life with Rosie

Studio Matte Lip Color by E.L.F. Cosmetics in Wine –This is the darkest, vampiest shade I own and I was petrified to try it and what Dustin was going to say when I walked out with it on my face. His exact words: “That looks kind of…vampy…” Well, that’s success because that is what I was going for! In all honesty, I’m not kidding when I stay that this stuff goes on like a dream. Matte formulas tend to be drying in general, but this is so creamy and pigmented and it goes on so smoothly and it has amazing staying power. It stayed on my lips for over 5 hours without fading. I seriously cannot express how impressed I am by this formula, especially at 3 dollars!

7 Lipstick Shades for Fall. E.L.F. Matte Studio Lip Pencil in Wine // Life with Rosie

Colour Pop Lippie Stix in Contempo (matte finish) $5.00 – Again, another hydrating matte formula. I love Lippie Stix from Colour Pop because the price is on point. This shade was released in their new fall collection, and I think the purple undertones in it make it an ideal fall shade. It pairs really well with purple/grey smokey eyes.

Fall Lipstick - Contempo REAL

Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Fig – $24.00 – This is the most expensive lipstick I own (it was a pick-me-up after having a rough week during August) and I don’t regret it buying it one bit. Now, I’m not saying everyone needs to go drop 24 dollars on a lipstick, but if you want to make an investment into a high end formula, I’d definitely recommend checking out the Too Faced line. I don’t really know how to describe Melted Fig; it’s like a liquid lipstick meets a lipgloss? It’s not overly drying, but it’s not sticky or overly glossy…it’s the perfect hybrid! Plus, this deep purple color, with slightly warm undertones is perfect for fall!

Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lip in Bumble – $6.00- This is a liquid lipstick formula and the color is ON POINT for fall! It’s got this gorgeous reddish-brown undertone and is super pigmented. My only warning with this lip product is that it’s a pretty drying formula, so if you don’t like drying lip products, pass this one up. If having your lips feel a little dry doesn’t bother you, then this is definitely a must-have fall shade!

7 Lipstick Shades for Fall featuring Bumble by Colour Pop // Life with Rosie

Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick in Touch of Spice – $5.50 I already mentioned in last month’s In & Out that this lipstick was rocking my world and that remains to be the truth. It’s a very similar shade to bumble, but a bit more pinky and lighter, and CREAMY! It does have a matte finish, but it’s the most hydrating matte lipstick I’ve ever worn. I love love love it and this would be my number one recommendation for someone who wants to wear a fall color lippie without it being too bold or vampy.

7 Lipstick Shades for Fall featuring Touch of Spice by Maybelliene // Life with Rosie

City Color City Chic Lipstick in One Night Stand – $4.99- I got this lippie in my last Ipsy bag and this baby is pretty BRIGHT! The formula is creamy and glossy, so I like that I have an option when I’m just not feeling the matte thing. It’s a really pretty jewel toned lipstick for fall and I have loved pair it with a slightly smoked out rosegold eyeshadow look. It’s really affordable and you can also find City Color at TJ Maxx & Ross at times, so be on the look out!


Fall Lipstick - Color City

Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nearly Nude – $5.50 I definitely wanted to mention another shade in the Creamy Matte line that I love! The formula is just as spot-on with Touch of Spice (sometimes different colors in the same line will be made differently and apply better or worse) and I love that this has a warm undertone so it works really well with warm neutral eye looks. Sometimes I want to play up my eyes and not over-do it with a vampy bold lip, so this shade is perfect for making sure all attention goes to the eyes!

That’s all of them! I have really been enjoying learning how to wear these bolder colors and little by little, I’m getting more confident each day and learning that there is no reason to be embarrassed by my teeth. That’s what I love about the power of makeup!

Have you tried any of these shades? Which one was your favorite? What is your go-to fall lip look?

Instead of confidently making a decision to remove the organ that was slowly killing me, I looked at other infertility accounts and saw the repeated message that if I kept on pushing through treatments, i too, would get my baby. I felt selfish and unsure that putting my health first was truly the right thing to do. There was almost nothing out there to help us find peace and validation in ending our infertility journey without feeling like massive failures.

I have felt so called to speak on this now that we’re in this next phase of life and to do my best to share a perspective I wish I had access to last year. I hope that by speaking up and sharing our life in this next chapter, we can help those who are looking for hope in moving on from infertility without a pregnancy or baby. 

If you are reaching the end of your journey, I want you to know that you are not giving up. You are not a failure. You are choosing to not let infertility destroy you. 

It’s okay to grieve the life you wanted, but I want you to know you can still build a life you love. 

You are not giving up.
