The Katie Chronicles

Intimidated by #AppleCiderVinegar like I have been? I’ve seen all the promotions and reasons why it’s good for you, but I’ve never taken the plunge to actually trying it. I couldn’t wrap my head around taking a shot of ACV to get the benefits of it. (And have you heard people talk about the taste?! 😝) Now, I don’t have to! @goligummy is the world’s first ACV gummy and I’m not joking when I say it’s delicious! I have been using these for about a month now, and actually look forward to my daily ACV dose! But why ACV? 🍎 Great source of antioxidants 🍎 Filled with pectin, a source of dietary fiber 🍎 Great for overall health 🍎 Used with pectin as a natural prebiotic to support a healthy gut and immune system 🍎 Supports skin health 🍎 Helps metabolize nutrients 🍎 Gluten-free, vegan, cruelty free, and non-GMO The list goes on! If you’re ready to add ACV into your daily nutrient routine, head to the link in bio for a sweet discount on your order ♥️ . . . #golipartner #gifted #acvgummies #applecider #golinutrition #delicious #gummies #goli #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

This is my absolute, #1 favorite clay mask. Adam first introduced me to this @frommollywithlove Wild Rose mask a couple years ago as a Christmas present and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve been struggling with my skin the last couple months, and when a breakout is particularly bad, I use this mask and within just a couple days I notice a major difference. Not as red or inflamed 🙌🏼 Plus, I have really sensitive skin and this product doesn’t give me any issues! Anyway, in case anyone out there needed a clay mask rec, here it is 🤍 . . . #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #selfcare #selfcarefirst #claymask #claymasks #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

Red Friday ready thanks to @revlon! This mascara is a winner and only $8! I put it on this morning around 7am, and nearly 12 hours later, it still looks great 🙌🏼 Long lasting for the win! . . . http://liketk.it/37Iad #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKVDay #LTKbeauty #LTKstyletip #WearResponsibly #RevlonSoFierce #contest #complimentary @Influenster #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

I’ve been on a quest for a preset I love that is easy to use and can help me tell a color story with my content. I’ve tried several options, and I’m still looking for “the one”. I was excited to try @nickypresets, and I had fun with the different options with tones from bright & airy to warm & rich! #gifted #NickyPresets has several different preset packages that are sure to fit your desired color story, and at a price you can’t beat! Swipe through to check out a few of the preset options. (The last picture is the original for comparison). Which one is your favorite? 1, 2, 3, or 4? . . . #presetslightroom #preset #colorstory #lightroomedit #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

Full length mirror is in storage so I’m improvising, but fully dressed + make-up, a good hair day, and new boots needed to be documented. These @thursdays boots are 🙌🏼 Definitely an investment piece, but I’ve been looking for a pair of boots like this style for about...4 years? I found these online a couple months ago and fell in love. I’m prettyyyyyy pumped! (I am a pretty consistent shoe size 8, and these are a 9, so I recommend sizing up a full shoe size.) . . . http://liketk.it/36SVZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKSeasonal #LTKshoecrush #LTKstyletip #thursdayboots #leatherboots #winterboots #ltkunder200 #ltkfashion #ltk #ltkstyle #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

Whew! The Monday back to work after the holidays is always a treat, am I right? We spoiled ourselves over the last few weeks with delicious coffee drinks, which isn’t ideal for the budget or waistline 😉 So when @influenster reached out about trying the @gevaliakaffe cappuccinos for @keurig I was sold! I tried my first one this morning and they’re delicious, low calorie (90 per serving), and so easy to make! Plus, a box of 12 is only $12.99 at @target, which is a steal. These will be a new staple in our house for when we’re craving a fancy coffee, but want the convenience ☕️ I want to know—are you an at-home coffee maker, or always prefer your coffee “out”? . . . http://liketk.it/35buh @influenster.eats #complimentary #ThePerfectCup #Gevalia #GevaliaKaffe #GEVALIAxInfluenster #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers #coffeeathome #keurigcoffee #coffeedaily #coffeebreak #coffeepeople

[ #fbf ] Happy New Year! Two years ago today, I started The Katie Chronicles, and this was my very first picture. I’ve met some incredible people, made wonderful friends, had new experiences, and worked with several great businesses. I feel very fortunate to connect with so many of you in this space—thank you for following along! I’m excited to continue sharing more of my favorite things lifestyle - fashion - local with you in 2021! . . . #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers

2020–what a year. Though the challenges were certainly present, there were some really great moments, too. ✨I started the year pregnant, lost the pregnancy, spent countless hours in therapy, and was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. However, I’ve reached a point where I feel mentally stronger than ever and have found peace and healing in opening up about our #ttcjourney. ✨A global pandemic hit the US, forced everyone to change the way “normal” life operates, but allowed me to spend so much amazing quality time with Adam and Lilly. I’ve loved and cherished this “extra” time with them! ✨A social movement erupted in ways that have been long overdue, though the movement itself wasn’t new. I’ve learned a lot, grown a lot, and look forward to seeing continued and necessary change in our society. ✨A new, historical, and diverse administration is forthcoming and for the first time in 4 years, I feel like I can breathe a little easier. I’m optimistic for what the next 4 years will bring. ✨We sold our first home together, which was challenging, stressful, and overwhelming. But a new chapter is upon us, and I cannot wait to see what it looks like for my little family. I hope that through the challenges of 2020, you had some blessings, too. Ready to say goodbye to 2020, and hello to 2021! Cheers to a healthy, prosperous, and calmer 2021 🤍 📸: @katemundo HMUA: @theposhkc . . . #kcig #kcblogger #kcbloggers #kcmom #midwestblogger #midwestliving #newyear2021 #nye2021 #goodbye2020 #hello2021 ##ttcsupport #infertilityjourney #lifeandstyle #microinfluencer #kcmomblogger #bonusmama #bonusmom #bonusmomlife #microblog #microinfluencers #kcigers #infertilityblogger
