I still can’t believe last week was real life. If you follow me on Instagram or social media, you may have seen that I spent the last week traveling in GREECE! My best friend Morgan and I planned this trip back in January. We both were going through a tough season and decided we wanted […]
If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably saw that I just got back from visiting PANAMA earlier this week!!! My best friend Morgan (who I also traveled to Greece and Argentina with in the last two years) has been serving in the Peace Corps in Bocas del Toro for a little over a […]

They had so many incredible speeches and guests celebrating with them on their big day, but the thing EVERYONE said is how much they radiate […]
I feel like this post has been anticipated for so long!!! After over a year of planning and prepping, Caroline and Costa tied the knot last weekend at Quirk Hotel in Richmond, Virginia! I’ve always called Caroline the real-life Barbie doll, and her wedding day was the epitome of vintage Barbie inspiration!! I knew that […]
Both times that I attended the Creative at Heart Conference, we talked about dreams. The easily attainable ones, the big ones, the ones that require late nights and hard work, the ones that may never come true and the scary ones. The speakers talk about how important those dreams are and to never, ever let […]
