It’s been a minute since i’ve done a “Life Via the Camera Roll ” post so today I have a quick one for ya! I feel like now that there are so many different social media outlets (and I share so much on Snap) that I don’t want to overkill you babes with so much of meeeee 😉 in all your feeds, ya know?! So let me know if you still like these little Life Lately round ups on here or if you’d like me to stick to just Snap/ Insta. On the same topic i’m sure you girls have seen the new insta story feature on Insta. I feel like I just finally got on my flow of posting on snap for you girls (and kind of loving that more intimate snap chat fam feel) butttt i’ll ask it…what do you girls prefer ? I know a lot of you were hesitant about joining SnapChat (trust me, it took me over a YEAR to get on board and i’m a blogger) so maybe Instagram Stories are better because it’s all in one place? Anyhow I’m must rambling all these thought and would lalalove your input. Ok back on topic! Here we go with a little Randomness of Life Lately Via the Camera Roll…..
Sneaks on Fleek (Did I just say that?! 😉
I used to wear these high tops in high school and love that they’re back in style now. Mine on SALE now HERE and Ava’s mini versions HERE
Distressed Skinnies // Muscle tee and These Sneaks for a casual weekday wear!
The Monday morning struggle calls for a double!
Same Muscle Tee // Boyfriend Jeans (older style but just ordered THESE for under $100!) and really digging the whole choker resurgence! I got this one from Windsor for about $5 HERE …Although I am really loving the daintier versions too! Here are some of my favorites……
Weekday Wear
Distressed Skinnies (can you tell I LIVE in these) and my favorite SNEAKS!
It took me forever to get on board with the price tag on these puppies butttt they’re amazing and i am even also eyeing another pair! Some other more affordable everyday sneaks I love HERE….
I posted on THIS color correcting palette a couple weeks ago as I had been dying to try it for forever! I am going to do a brief overview on SnapChat later this week but I have been using it pretty much every day! I particularly love the two pinks in the top row to help with my Sicilian dark circles (well dark circles partly from heritage and partly because of my two crazies 😉
Alright lets talk about my current favorite skincare products! No this not sponsored these products are seriously just the shiZZZ! Kate Somerville sent me a big ol’ box of goodies a few months back and while I pretty much loved all of them, these four are the ones that I would rebuy over again in a heart beat! The Gentle Daily Face Wash seriously feels like I am at a spa every time I use it. It smells refreshing and cleanses without over drying (I also love the mess free twist cap feature (will share on snap later today!). I also use the Exolfikate exfoliating treatment and it is AMAZING! I use it about 2-3 times a week. I was a little intimidated by the Dermal Quench Liquid Lift Advanced Wrinkle Treatment at first but now I use it every night before I put on my moisturizer. It combines Hyaluronic acid and oxygen to target those wrinkles! Lastly the Age Arrest moisturizer is AWESOME! It’s hands down my favorite moisturizer that i’ve used in a long time. Also not pictured is the Kate Somerville Age Arrest Eye Cream. As a girl with super sensitive eyes/skin this stuff works really well with my skin. If you are interested in trying these they also have a smaller version trial set of four for $75 HERE. I scooped this up as a gift for my mom and best friend too!
Soaking up all these amazing Newport nights!
I seriously CAN NOT believe we are in August already! I think now more than ever before I really appreciate this place we are so lucky tocall home. Maybe it’s having kids or the fact that i’m getting older but i’m realizing SoCal really is kind of a “mythical” (as my brother refers to it 🙂 place!
These two little hamburgers are my world! (Lucas leather chucks HERE // Ava’s Sneaks HERE lace up version HERE)
and then every once in while you have to just TREAT YO’self 😉
I was on the hunt for a neutral bag and when I saw THIS suede beauty online, I had to have it! (I get lots of messages about THESE CELINE SUNGLASSES …they’re so awesome but a bit pricey so I also have a budget friendly options for you girls under $100 HERE and HERE)
Laguna Beach Days on repeat!
We don’t live in Laguna but my husband owns a business there so we are there all the time. This place definitely needs to be on your to visit list if you haven’t been yet!
(a lot of you girls asked about my bikini on insta and its on SALE 50% off now HERE)
This boy is turning into such a little man already! He is so freaking cute I pretty much snack on him ALL day! He has such a little personality already andddd is it crazy to see that I already see some of the terrible two’s creeping in already?! (He is only 17 months but boy when he doesnt get his way he will let you know!) #herewego!
You guys they freaking melt me! On the daily I can’t help but think how blessed I am with these two hams! (yes they do totally drive me to drink on occasions lol but there is nothing I wouldn’t do for my two crazies!
Ava is SUCH an awesome big sister. I often worried about having an older girl vs and older boy but honestly LOVE seeing her take on this mommy role. She is such a big helper and always concerned with him. I’m sure there will be some battles as they get older but i’m hoping they stay like this as long as they can!
( Out of all the bags I own I have to say that my Proenza Schouler is my all time favorite! I recently found THIS Look For Less Style that’s pretty great too!)
And HELL YES to date night! Things are without a doubt crazier than EVER BEFORE but we have made our date nights mandatory (attempting one a week) because we still need to make that time for us too.
Okay sorry for the lengthy post but hadn’t done one of these in awhile! Hope you babes are having a great week and yeahhhh it’s almost Friday!
I love seeing your life on the camera roll posts! I follow you on snap too and love that it’s more raw but the posts are great too because you give the direct links to your favorite products! It helps me find the products you recommend!
Okay good to know and thanks so much for the feedback! Seem like the majority of you girls like seeing these posts too which is nice before I feel like I can elaborate a little more on here 😉 I just didnt want to bombard you babes 😉 xoxo
I absolutely love your snapchat!! I personally would prefer snapchat because it seems more personal and intimate like you said then doing it on instagram. I also feel like its a bit overwhelming to be watching stories on insta & liking photos. Either one you choose I’ll watch not to sound creepy haha 😉
oh my gosh me too! i feel like I am so overwhelmed with all the videos and instagram is already bad enough that i get lost it the pictures for hours that I don’t even watch the videos on there. I think I am just going to stick to snap and maybe occasionally share some on ig. Thanks so much for the input love! xo
Just wanted to give you a heads up that there’s a typo on Google! I know you just changed up the look of your blog so maybe that’s why. When you google “andee layne” google results come back with your blog but it’s named “Andee Layne – They Honeybee”. So it’s “they”‘instead of “the”. Thought you might want to know! Love your blog!

whoops sorry posted the response in the wrong column 😉 Looks like I’m still navigating the new site too 😉 THANK YOU so much for the heads up on the google search. I just message my web girl about it. xooxo
I have an older daughter and a baby boy as well. I was worried at first, but honestly it is the best thing. I think the girls love to take on that mommy role and the boys love to be babied. Win Win
oh good I am SO glad to hear that! They are just SO sweet together right now and hoping it stays that way ;))) She is such a little mommy xoox
I don’t do ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIAS….so I really enjoy your via the camera roll posts! Your babes are too cute!
I follow you on Instagram as well, but to be honest, your blog is a little breather when I need a break from my 8-5 and I need to not look at all my work emails coming in back to back. I keep coming back for more!
awww thank you! And kudos to you for staying away from social media lol its taking over 😉 So glad you girls are loving the roundups on here as well. To be honest i like doing them as well so that I can elaborate a little more for you gals! Thanks for the input love! xo
I need to follow you on snap chat. I’ve been following your blog for years now. Sometimes I feel too much like a creeper and one follow in one or two social media outlets. You inspire me so much and I can’t wait to start my own blog again soon. I would love to see a post about your tips and tricks or your journey as a blogger. I can only aspire to have one successful as yours. ?
Typo above* and follow on one***
Keep the camera roll posts coming — never too much! 🙂
awww thanks babe! and for always showing The Honeybee love! xoox
awww i love that and thank you SO much for following along over the years! I have been getting a ton of questions about blogging sooooo i am going to take a Q&A next week and tackle all of your girls questions in a post! xo
I love all of your posts and follow you on snap and ig. Its never too much. Your posts are so thorough and I love how easy you make it to find all your fashion finds. Snap shows off your personality so we get to know the person behind the pictures a little better, which is nice cause it’s refreshing to know youre so down to earth and humble. I have a 16 month old little boy as well, so I love the kiddie posts.
awww thank is SUCH a nice compliment. Thank you Kelly and for your feedback! xoxo
I love that those adidas are back in style now, I used to wear them in high school too! So cute!
xo Amanda
ME TOO!! 😉
hi,
i’ve been a long time follower. i love the camera roll. As for insta vs. snapchat. to be honest I don’t have snap chat so i miss the content you post there, buuuuuutttt i don’t really like watching the videos on instagram. Maybe you could post a few videos on your blog so those of us who do not have snap won’t miss out?? Just a thougth. Thanks Mary
I love that idea! I tried it before with some of our vacay recap videos but they loaded really small. I will try it again with the new site and hope it will be better!
Please finish sharing the rest of your bathroom photos!! I love the master bath and I can’t wait to see the other!
lol yes oh my gosh I am the worst! I have it scheduled for wednesday! I was just trying to hunt down my before photos because I know I took some on one of my cameras!

I love that you are posting more than ever on snap!! I also LOVE your husband’s appearances because mine is the same way!! He doesn’t have social media and doesn’t understand it, so he is the same way when I am attempting a video, picture etc 😐 . I haven’t moved to the snapinstagram yet I still love Snapchat!
lol he is such a handful but cracks me up on the daily;) For someone who isn’t into social media he suuuuure likes to chime in a lot ;)))
and thanks for the feedback! Im with you on keep most of my randomness on Snap! The Ig story is just a little overwhelming.
Gorgeous kids ! Love your Life Lately Via Camera Roll posts ! My favorite 🙂
Thanks SO much Tammy 😉
Girl, I’ve been a long time follower (since u were PG w Ava!) and I love your snaps! You’re my fave of all the celebs i follow too! (Although unfortunately I hate to admit spencer Pratt is pretty funny lol!) by it feels very personal like we’re all friends 😉 keep it up love!!
awww thank you and for following along all these years love! and i totally feel like I know my insta and snap peeps too! So funny ill have to check out Spencer Pratt lol who would have thought?! 😉

thanks so much babe and I agree! I’ll definitely keep sharing these on here for you girls too! i just didnt want to burn everyone out 😉 All the outlets can be a little overwhelming!
I love seeing the posts on here too! No snap for me but I loooove Instagram! I hear that he new stories on Insta is similar to snap, the stories are just not my cup of tea. When I get free time from my littles it’s nice to get lost in well curated and pretty photos 🙂 xo
I love the updates in here! Also please do a post with tips on how to keep date night alive! I’m a new mommy and find it very overwhelming to fits the hubs in sometimes… You make it look so easy! 🙂
Your wee kiddies are seriously the cutest! My son started the ‘fun twos’ well before he was two. So strong willed! It drives me crazy but on the other hand he is so independent and sweet. Seeing your babies together makes me excited for when my newbie is a little older.
Definitely keep sharing your updates everywhere. I love your life via the camera roll posts!
Love the feature of coffee throughout too 😉 xx
