style & beauty to empower
All my life, I aspired to be a bad a$$ business woman. Although, the entire time I thought I needed a man to help get me there. As shallow as it sounds, 2 years ago I had hit a point in my life where I said "F- love, marry for money". I never had the [...]
Since starting my business 4 months ago, I’ve barely had any time for myself. I stopped working out daily and meal prepping. I stopped blogging and going on my daily walks to grab coffee. I stopped those little self care moments when I needed a break from the monotony of life and it’s responsibilities. Last [...]
Can you believe summer is almost over? I'm already getting slightly excited over pumpkin picking and sweater weather. But not so fast! Summer is still here and thriving; so why not hit the sunflower field, have a picnic, go to the beach, whatever summer activity is your favorite. A Picnic Classic Summer Lovin' Had Me [...]
Giddy up cowgirl! I've been loving my white cowboy boots so much lately that it inspired me to create a blog post based on western inspired style. Overalls, denim, fedora hats, and boots of course! Inspiration for a trip to the farm stand to pickup some sunflowers, or a stroll around town. How do you wear your cowboy boots?
It's been a few weeks since I last posted so this is going to be a pretty informal post to update you on what's been going on. Life has been pretty weird lately. I'm having a hard time describing how I've been feeling exactly. Neutral? Dull? Numb? I guess just a little less vibrant than [...]
Here's my truthful experience with quarantine.
A world full of yellow just makes everything happier. This is probably the first spring/summer season that I've truly embraced the color yellow. Usually I stick with the basics, but adventuring out and trying some new trends has been so much fun. What I love most about yellow is that the shades are limitless. You can do with a pastel yellow or mustard, vibrant or soft. Are you wearing yellow this season?
What's trending for spring? Well you've come to the right place. I always like to see what's trending and also switch it up a bit with some of my favorite classics. Here are my favorite trends for this spring season.
Spring and summer are all about this bold, vibrant colors that make you confident, warmer weather is ahead. This season I've been wearing colors I never thought I could see myself in. Now yellow is my favorite color this spring. Who would've thought? What colors are you loving right now? Have you tried out any new colors lately?
Redness, uneven tone and texture, dry patches? Yup, I know how you feel! Sensitive skin makes it a bummer when going to the beauty store because you can't try those new makeup or skincare products everyone in raving about right now. Although the weather is getting warmer now, sensitive skin in the winter can be rough. I've found some staple products that I added to my skincare routine, that I want to share with the rest of you suffering from sensitive, dry skin, or just want something I little less harsh
Everyone is dealing with quarantine differently. Some many be piling up their schedules to keep busy (like me) and some may be bored out of their minds (also me). Regardless, there are many people struggling, especially those who already suffer from anxiety and depression. "The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but fight battles we know nothing about."

Since I've had so much free time lately, I've been exploring some new beauty products and thought I would share some of my favorites.Here's a mix of some of my favorite skincare, body and makeup product from the month of April.
Quarantine means comfy clothes until May 15th, but that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice style in the process. Biker shorts give you the best of both, with comfort for relaxing and just enough cute if you want to snap a selfie. Whether you're working from home, chilling on the couch watching Netflix, or going on a walk around the neighborhood, biker shorts are the perfectly versatile piece you need to add to your wardrobe this season.
Don't we all love food that makes us feel good? Food isn't only nourishing for our bodies, but it is also nourishing to our mental health and brain function. Studies show that the vitamins and minerals of certain foods boost our endorphins, increase energy levels, and decrease depression, among many other things.

Check out how I repurposed my jacket and watch the video for the how to steps. Have fun!
