May is Maternal Mental Health awareness month, so I've decided to finally share my story and hit publish on this post that's been in my drafts for months. Thanks for your encouragement and support as I share this very personal post. I remember the moment I was in a news studio, weeks after coming back to work from my maternity leave. I was sitting ...

Beauty Favorites + The $12 Lip Gloss You Need Now!
It's fitting that this post is going live right after Mother's Day, because I think as moms, it can be so hard to carve out time for self-care. That's such a buzzword these days, but I get why --- so many moms struggle to find the time to care for themselves and that includes beauty routines. When I was pregnant, a new mom, and all throughout ...
Friday Five + A Giveaway
O N E I have to start this week’s Friday Five with a gracious thank you for all of your comments and direct messages/emails in response to my “20 things you didn’t know about me” post. Wow! I was overwhelmed with all of the support and kind messages that came as a result of that post. It also made me realize that I need to spend the creating more ...
How to Use a Curling Wand + Hair Styling Favorites
I'm SO excited for this post because I'm finally sharing my NEW hair curling routine so many of you have been asking about. Seriously, where was this curling wand my whole life? To rewind a bit, I've been using a curling iron with a clip for years and was really happy with those curls. I would often see women with more beachy/undone/mermaid waves ...
20 Things You May Not Know About Me
I've always been a pretty open book on my blog. I love getting to know the people behind the blog, and this post felt like another way to connect with you all. Some are things you may know, some will come as a surprise, and some are things that are a little hard to share. 1 I was born in (the former) Czechoslovakia and when I was 3, my family ...
Little Navy Dress
Do you ever put on something that just makes you feel pretty? That's this dress for me. It's so flattering and navy is one of my favorite colors, so of course it instantly drew me in! I love the crochet lace detailing at the sleeves and skirt trim of this dress--- they give it that "little something extra" that make it feel special. dress, ...
Five Reasons You Should Wear Sunglasses + Three Pairs I Love
Whether you’re a longtime reader or new to Veronika’s Blushing, you may have noticed that I (and my kids, for that matter) are rarely without sunglasses when outdoors. I developed a sensitivity to sunlight in young adulthood and even when it’s overcast, I find myself squinting if I don’t wear sunglasses (in fact, one of the reasons I wear ...
Trunk Club Review
It was really fun doing a live Instastories try-on session with this month's Trunk Club. I was totally taken aback by how many DMs y'all sent in response to the try-on session so I'll definitely be doing this every time I get a new trunk (and possibly with all of my online purchases). I watch a lot of try-on sessions on Instastories from my ...
Friday Five
O N E Did you notice something different?! Veronika’s Blushing got a beautiful makeover by Gina at Bella Creative Studio and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Every year I get the itch to update my blog and this year I was totally focused on optimizing my site. I didn’t care about being fancy or trendy --- I just want my content to be easy ...
Striped Eyelet Top
This striped top is so fun! I like how versatile it is--- I would wear this with slim dress pants to the office and it's also perfect with jeans and flats or heels. I especially love that this top is kind of a "mixed media" top with two totally different fabrics and that it has a peplum hem which I can't get enough of. I've been on board with this ...
