It’s that time of year- when you head to the mountains to ski with friends. But what to bring as a gift? After all, they provide a place to stay, and you must show gratitude. And, just like last year, this post is dedicated to our friends A&D, who are generously hosting us for our…
It makes no difference how much sleep I get or ounces of water I drink–I still have dark circles under my eyes. I have tried every cream or serum (and have the posts to prove it) that claim to minimize the purple hue, but nothing seems to make a difference. So, I am left to do…
Happy weekend! I woke up this morning to a blanket of snow on the ground, and it’s a nice distraction from the chaos in California. I hope you get some downtime today to relax and enjoy some Snippets, from clogs to cardigans and always a little leopard. I found this cute scalloped tray on Amazon….

Time for a New Year’s refresh, complete with some indulgent beauty products, a comfy cashmere outfit, pampering skincare, and a good book! (I am most excited to try my new…
Time for another Top Ten post– and this one is all about facial moisturizers (just in time for the cold months ahead).

What is my idea of heaven? A crackling fire, a glass of red wine, and a good old-fashioned mystery (and maybe a bowl of ice cream). During these winter weeks, I plan on parking myself in a comfy chair and relishing the twists and turns of a good whodunit. I hope you will savor these…
Happy weekend! I feel like I can finally let out a deep breath and relax a bit now that the holiday craziness has subsided. Without further ado, here is the very first Snippet post of 2025, from boots to books, and always a little bit of leopard. My sister nailed Christmas with this Higherdose LED…
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 1,000 posts published than with a look back. Now that 2024 is behind us, we can see the promise of great things in the new year. But first, I want to take a quick look at what inspired you the most: which posts, products, and categories…
Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
