    Bedtime Rituals/PM Skincare

    The quality of your life is based on your daily habits (even right before bed). Bedtime stories to children are like bedtime routines for adults.  They’re good for your brain and encourage sleep.  I strongly believe that the quality of your life is (largely) based on your daily habits.  If you have a habit of eating junk food, your health will suffer.  If you have a habit of talking badly about your spouse, your relationship will suffer.  Which brings me to bedtime habits.  If you want a good night’s sleep and to feel (and look) amazing the next morning, you have to make yourself stick to some good rituals.  These…

    Seasons Change Crop Tops Remain

    I have no idea what is going on with the weather.  When I wore this outfit there was a mix of sun, rain, clouds, humidity, and chilly wind.  I’m just sitting over here twiddling my thumbs until spring decides to officially arrive.  Until then, my suggestion to look like you’re ready for spring, but not freezing to death in sun dresses is to, ahem, wear crop tops.  Well, along with pants and something to cover your arms if it’s actually chilly.  Okay but really, I adore crop tops.  If I could wear them every day I would.  If you don’t like crop tops, you should unfollow my blog immediately.  I’m kidding. …

    Chasing dreams. Living out your passions.

    Life is too short to do anything that doesn’t set your soul on fire. Have you ever reached a certain point in life where you truly start seeing yourself clearly? When you realize things you used to believe about yourself are SO wrong? (Perhaps a part of that is beginning to see yourself the way Jesus does) Anyhow, that’s where I am. I turn 29 tomorrow and all I can think is wow, I need to do something I love. Something that I’m passionate about. I listen to all of these business and self-development podcasts and something I hear over and over is, “You need to pursue something in your…

    Quick Living Room Workout

      I’ve been a gym junkie for years now.  I love doing group workouts, lifting weights alone, cardio with my husband (when I’m forced), yoga, barre, and everything in between.  But let’s be honest, sometimes you just really aren’t in the mood to go the gym.  Am I right?! On those days I’m just not feeling a drive 5 minutes down the road (first world problems), I have some killer at-home workouts that’ll do the trick.  You don’t need a whole gym either, just a few items! Working out isn’t just a vanity thing for me.  Sure, I want to look good in cute clothes (and out of clothes), but…

    Sunday Brunchin’ Style

    I’m not sure when brunch became the new happy hour, but it certainly has become a staple in my weekends.  Brunch is a noun and a verb.  A way of life.  You go to brunch to brunch.  I like to have my Sunday brunches after church, but oftentimes I show up too late for church (I’m late for most things in life).  In those desperate times when I know I should’ve gotten up earlier for time with the Lord, and my husband is beyond annoyed (because he hates being late) I immediately say, “Let’s go brunch!!!”.  That statement, my friends, makes all well in the world. I’m super passionate about…
