+ TRAVEL MORE - like most, Zach and I share a love for traveling both domestic and internationally. This year we have decided to prioritize traveling within the United States and take a trip every quarter. I’m so excited! Our first trip is already booked- we are headed to one of my very favorite places in February… Charleston, SC! + HIT MY BLOG GOALS - each year I set financial goals for my blog and this year is no different. I also want to get my content in front of more people because[...]
*Use code “LAURYNLATELY” for 10% off your Prolon purchase* A couple months ago I did my very first Prolon cleanse and I’m not going to lie… I was SO nervous! I’m a foodie and as pathetic as it sounds I truly look forward to a days worth of eating LOL. This cleanse came highly recommended by several of my friends and so I decided to give it a shot and I’m so glad that I did! I am actually doing it again in a couple weeks to start out the new year. Seriously no better way to jumpst[...]
First and foremost let me start by saying I actually had braces in high school and my teeth weren’t extremely crooked (thankfully!!). I completed my braces treatment at the ripe age of 16, was given a removable wire retainer to wear at night, and I wore it every single night like the responsible angel I was. HA! OK Jk... I WISH I had worn it every night but alas I was young & irresponsible and never wore it so my teeth shifted over time until the retainer no longer fit in my mouth (yikes)[...]
If you’re like me and you’re heart skips a beat when you hear the words “organization,” “tidy,” and “Amazon” and it brings a smile to your face when you think about Spring Cleaning... then this post is absolutely for you. I am the queen of organization; I can’t get enough of it. Everything has a place and I truly cannot sleep at night thinking about clutter/ unorganized spaces (add that to the list of odd things about me I guess LOL). I’ve always kept my home tidy and or[...]
Can I first start by saying how the heck did it take us so long to visit Nashville in the first place?! This was our first time in the city and it was so much fun... I absolutely get the hype! So much charisma, talent, great eats, and more packed into one place. We had such a great time and I can’t wait to go back again some day! One thing I love about Nashville is that it’s completely do-able to see a ton of the city in such a short amount of time. I mean we were only there for about 4[...]
Straight Leg Jeans Ok Gen Z am I doing it right?! Recently Gen Z announced that “skinny jeans and side parts are officially out of style. Don’t think I can quite part (pun absolutely intended) with the side part yet... but this year I have decided to branch out with my denim a bit. I will NEVER fully abandon my beloved skinny jeans but it has been fun branching out a bit. Recently I found these Madewell straight leg jeans and fell in LOVE. I like that they’re fitted at the waist an[...]
Excited to start this new series on the blog! Each month I’ll be sharing my favorite things in a blog post and sharing it with you all- this could be a favorite recipe, quote, outfit, etc. I am excited to share all my favorite things and excited to have these posts to look back on for years to come! This Quote “Don’t shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him. C.S. Lewis I love C.S. Lewis and this might be one of my favorite quotes from him.[...]
It’s no secret that running a blog while working a full time job takes a good amount of planning and organization. I think most people are surprised when I tell them I work a full time job on top of blogging because it seems most do one or the other. I am here to say it’s 100% possible to do both as long as you are ORGANIZED! Though there are many ways that I organize my life, the single most important way is by utilizing a daily life planner. Over the past couple years I’ve done a go[...]
Holy cow you guys can you believe it’s almost 2021?! Seriously where did this year go? 2020 has been A YEAR to say the least. It’s been scary, heartbreaking, and lonely but it has also been happy, relaxing, and wonderful at the same time. This year has been the best worst year ever... does that even make sense?! I thought it would be fun to run through my 2020 and list some of the highs and lows and focus on what I am most looking forward to in 2021! The LOWS You always have to s[...]
A couple weeks ago a few bloggers and I headed North to Eureka Springs, AR for a blogger getaway. This was my very first blogger trip and it was SO much fun. Finally meeting the girls in person, staying up late laughing over a few drinks, exploring a new (beautiful!) state, and just getting out of my comfort zone was perfect. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. While we were there I snapped a few photos to document the trip: where we stayed, ate, explored, etc. I highly recommend visiting Eureka[...]
