Wellbeing Goals That Are Not Based on Your Appearance or Weight
When we think of our wellbeing it is common for us to set goals that are centered around our aesthetics or the number on the scale. I put myself on my first diet at the age of 14 (read more of my journey here) because I was convinced the only way I could be happier or more attractive in high school was if I lost weight. Dieting was what I was “supposed” to do. The media is constantly telling us that we must shrink our bodies to fit in and social media has inundated us with images of women we think we need to look like in order to be…

Decorating for Halloween
If you know me or have looked at my Instagram around the holidays you would know that I LOVE decorating. Beginning in September I get all my fall décor out and mix it in with my Halloween decorations! My philosophy with decorations is to ALWAYS go for the bargain unless there is a piece that you absolutely love and cannot live without. The clearance section and the discount bins at stores like JoAnn’s, Michaels, and Target are my jam for every decorating occasion! I also like to do holiday crafts when time permits. I don’t really have a theme when it comes to my decorating, I just use what I…

Our Wedding: The Ceremony
Part two is pictures from the ceremony. One of my best friends, Nicole, officiated our ceremony and did the best job. My bridesmaids were my best friends Amy and Kristine, and my cousin Lydia. Jake’s groomsmen were his friends Justin, Randy, and Will. We wrote our own vows and had a short and very sweet ceremony that was so filled with love, I still cry thinking about it.

Our Wedding: Best Day Ever
Our wedding day was one of the best days of my life. Everything from our venue, flowers, caterers, to our photographers and day of coordinator was a dream. It was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. I have decided to split this into five parts since we have so many beautiful photos. This first set is of us getting ready and some of the details. I hope you enjoy!

5 Things In September
It certainly has been a long time since I have posted in this space. The process of planning our wedding took a lot of time and energy and it was just easier to focus on that for the time being. Since getting back from our honeymoon we’ve been settling into married life which is very similar to our pre-married life except I get to call Jake my husband in conversations with others! I will be honest though, I have been suffering from the post-wedding blues and have found it difficult to motivate myself back into any sort of routine be in posting to my blog, exercising or consistently packing my…
