In 2026 it is easy to feel like breast cancer is a beatable disease. And a lot of the time it is. But we have to be careful not to let that thinking make us forget that people are still dying from it. This past year our friend group has felt her absence in ways that are hard to put into words.

I am a busy person, and I do not always prioritize my health the way I should but this summer I booked my mammogram and I made sure not to reschedule it.

It is never a fun experience. But St. Tammany Women’s Pavilion does a beautiful job; the atmosphere is calm, the robes are warm, and they make something uncomfortable feel a little more manageable.

If you take one thing from this post let it be this.  Get checked. Make early detection a priority. If your provider is recommending a preventative screening, then get it done. Your health is your wealth. Not just because you want to live a long life but because you want the quality of that life to be worth living. Early detection saves lives.

Every time I bring up hashtags someone tells me th Every time I bring up hashtags someone tells me they do not work anymore.

Here is my take. Hashtags are still live on Instagram and they are still one of the main ways people search through the platform. Until Instagram tells us they are done I am going to keep using them, intentionally.

What has changed is how you should be using them.

Instagram has officially capped hashtags at 5 per post. Instagram made this change deliberately because stuffing 20 to 30 generic tags into every post was not serving anyone. Hashtags are no longer a reach tool. They are a clarity tool that helps the algorithm understand what your content is about.

5 intentional hashtags beat 30 random ones every single time.

Here is how to pick yours:

-Think about your niche, your audience, and your location
-Think about what someone would actually search — not what you would call your post
-A clown costume post might use #halloweencostume or #cosplay instead of #clowncostume because that is what someone searching for inspiration is actually typing

One more thing most people are missing. Instagram is leaning heavily into SEO and keyword search now. The words in your caption are doing work that hashtags used to do. Write descriptively and use natural language your audience would actually search. The algorithm is reading your words so give it something to work with.

Save this before you write your next post.

Size Inclusive Brand – BURU

I love being able to introduce you to new brands and this one is pretty special! Their mission says it all…

“With an understanding that versatility and washability are paramount, BURU Founder Morgan Hutchinson’s mission is to help every mama look and feel her best.”

I stumbled upon the BURU site through blogger Ashley Dorough. I like a lot of what Ashley wears and I know she is always on the look out for brands who extend past traditional sizes. Even being plus size I try to showcase styles that are for everyone.

What immediately drew me to BURU were the styles and patterns of the clothing. They are cool and funky and not your typical “mom wear” for brand that boasts being for moms. The front page of their website reads Mom. Life. Styled. and they aren’t lying. The clothes are not only cute they are easy to style, care for and mix and match with your current pieces.

I picked up this top from their last collection and I styled it with a skirt I already had. I have worn the top several different ways and it is very easy to wash and wear.

Sizing.

So far all of the items I have purchased have run true to size (TTS). They have a great size chart on the site that not only has the number sizing (10, 16, 18, etc.) but also has measurements. It’s always my suggestion to use the measurements rather than the numbered sizing.

Materials.

You will be impressed what is included in their washable selection on the site. I thought it would be mostly t-shirts and joggers and things of that nature but there are mostly high end pieces that you would never think you could wash.

Pricing.

This brand is a little higher than my normal price point but I like the sustainability of the clothing as well as the quality of the material and the way the pieces are manufactured.

Shopping the site.

You can shop items by collection or by piece on the website. Some collections are more expensive than others so you may want to shop by collection if you are trying to stay under a certain price point.

On My Wishlist.

I LOVE this skirt but I really want the ENTIRE outfit!

I want this dress for Christmas! It is so much fun and I have loved it in all of the color choices that have been offered. Awesome take on a classic silhouette.

This jumpsuit is perfect because you can wear it alone, with a shirt under it or with a jacket. The options are endless.

This top is a NEED item. It will literally go along with everything. Even the jumpsuit above.

Blazers are another must have items for fall. This one is great because the colors will work for just about anything.

Honestly I could buy just about anything for their page. I love it all. I am happy with everything that I have purchased from them.
