One of my favorite bloggers, Amber Fillerup Clark, does these posts that are called "12 Things" - which are 12 random thoughts at the moment. I love them! They can be about what is going on in life right now or even things as random as "I am craving chicken strips" haha! So, I decided I would make this a little Monday tradition. So here are some random thoughts! 1. I had a bit of an unhealthy weekend and it…

Hey internet besties! Sorry this post is going up late, yet again. I always post around 6:00 a.m. every morning M-F, however, this week has been insane for me so I have been posting in the afternoons. I feel like I need a nap and it's only 11:00 a.m. haha! Do you ever go through those period where you're tired of all the music you have on your phone them BOOM a million new good song come out and you…

The title of this post sounds like such a sales pitch haha! However, it sort of is. I have been thinking for a long time about starting a blog consulting service or online workshop to help new bloggers and I am finally doing it! I have started researching how I want to set everything up, what I want to include, etc! I am so excited for this new step, I get SO many messages from amazing people who want to…

So a little inspirational story time for y'all... I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You know when that just happens? You wake up feeling off? I slept through an alarm and ever since I have had a day where things just weren't working out. I forgot to charge my camera batteries and today was a shooting day so they kept dying on my mom and I while we shot. Plus it was also insanely windy…

I am sitting here trying to think about what to write about and my head is spinning from a long day of trying to catch up on my summer classes (writing this Sunday night). A reminder just went off on my phone that said "Wash Makeup Brushes." It made me realize how simple self-care is. Let's be honest, we are SO busy as human beings. We are constantly on the go, always have a long to do list, plus we…

Hello from New York City! Sorry this post is up late, I had a fun weekend with friends then a busy Sunday night so I had to edit and put this together on the plane! My dad, cousin, and I are taking a last minute 24 hour trip to New York today so we could go to a U2 concert tonight! I am super excited! I actually have sort of a love/hate relationship with NYC. I would never turn down…

The best day of the year is tomorrow aka National Rosé Day! I honestly think everything should shut down during the day and we should all just spend it by the pool drinking wine...if only! Rosé is the best drink in the summer, when you start seeing bottles everywhere that's when you know it's officially getting warm out! I love it! So in honor of National Rosé Day, I shot this fun OOTD and I also shared this yummy Strawberry…
