I’ve Dated My Fiancé Since 8th Grade

What a title, am I right? But the title is not just meant to grab your attention. It's the truth. Zach and I have been dating consistently since the 8th grade. I purposely use the word "consistently' to emphasize the fact that we have never broken up. Not once. Now I don't know about you, but I don't know another person that has dated their significant other since middle school (lol), but here we are and I am SO here for it. A couple months ago Zach asked me to marry him and ever since then I'v[...]

Spring 2019 Color Trend: Marigold

For years I avoided wearing all shades of yellow in fear that it would wash me out due to the fact that I am blonde. When I heard that mustard yellow was a 2019 "spring color" trend I decided to go for it and give it a shot. I AM IN LOVE! Not only is it such a unique contrast to the usual (beautiful... but boring) pastel color scheme of spring, I think it actually helps to accentuate golden blonde locks. If you find yourself struggling to wear the color because you are fair skinned and blonde,[...]

Inexpensive Spring Statement Earrings

If there's one thing I don't mind skimping on its some inexpensive statement earrings for spring! I think it's so important to own a few simple, dainty pieces that you can wear regularly, but I think it's also equally important to own some that are trendy and inexpensive! Now when I say inexpensive I don't mean flimsy and cheap-looking (because I promise you there are a million options out there that would fit that category), I mean earrings that look much more expensive than they actually are![...]

Spring Whites

Do you follow the "no white after labor day" rule? I certainly don't... I'm a sucker for a good winter-white outfit, but I do love to indulge in the trend a little more once springtime hits. Spring is the perfect time to load up on a few good items that can carry you through the year, so I have searched the web and found 50 great white pieces that can definitely elevate your springtime wardrobe. Hover over the item to view the price (some items might be mislabeled due to current sales going[...]

Little Ways to Make Life Sweeter

Some of the most worthwhile things in life aren't easy. Now that's a pretty broad statement, I realize, but it's true. I think the stigma that if you "have the right mindset the rest can and will just fall into place," is so misleading. I mean think about it, how many positive thinkers out there got what they wanted by just sitting, waiting, and thinking positively? Probably none... and if you have, you are quite lucky my friend. Now as much as I believe that our God truly provides, it's gotta t[...]

Hair 101

I get a lot of questions about my hair- what salon I go to, products I use, how I curl it... etc. So I thought I would do a broad overview on all things hair to hopefully answer most, if not all of your questions. Salon- I go to Voss Salon in Dallas, TX where Brittaney Prince works her magic! I ask for natural highlights (no streaks!!!) and a very light shadow root. I like to have a little bit of a root because it helps by not making the grow-out so harsh between visits. Brittaney usually tones[...]
