Matching sets are IN and now is the time to hop on the train because there are so many great neutral options perfect for summer time. Worth Collective is a Texas-based Christian small business and I couldn’t recommend them more. Beautiful pieces and on-trend, yet timeless, styles. Streamline getting ready with these amazing, yet comfy, matching sets

It seems everyday more studies are published showing what the harmful toxins in polyester and synthetic clothing are doing to our bodies, and especially women’s hormones. Here are 16 dresses under $100 that are 100% cotton to ease your worries and dress up your summer wardrobe!

I spent two years off of the meal plan at Notre Dame with only my dorm room and a dorm stovetop to make all of my meals. I had every one of these items in my room to cook with and it made all the difference. Mini pans, waffle makers, rice cookers, drying racks and everything in between is linked here!

Europe in the summer is very obviously a vibe. But it’s hard to match the European aesthetic (without just throwing on a dress everyday) and stay modest enough to attend mass and visit churches with their covered-knees-and-shoulders rules. Here are some of my top picks this summer from one of the greatest affordable fashion brands I know! Thanks Rihoas!!

Altar’d state is hands down one of the best places to find modest, high quality dresses, skirts, and outfits. However it’s rare for any of their clothing to go on sale when it’s the right season! Hurry and shop while these adorable summer finds last…all under $50!

Life is a pilgrimage.

We weren’t made for this world. We weren’t made for this life. We were made for the next.

When we go on pilgrimage, we experience discomfort, suffering, pain, exhaustion, and everything in between. Then we return to our regular lives and expect to go back to comfort, even though we’re constantly being called higher. We’re not meant to be comfortable.

The reality of pilgrimage was made especially clear to me these last ten days. As my feet ached and my heart hurt and voices around me only contributed to my despair, I understood for the first time the reality of not being able to make the journey alone.

We can’t make it through this life without the support of our Creator. Without Him we will consistently find ourselves disappointed in the fleeting things of this world. The feelings of joy will fade. The physical beauty of the churches we visit will only remain in photos. The only thing that’s certain is our home in the kingdom of God.

Embrace the necessity of relying on God. Embrace the confidence in future eternity with Him. Embrace the pilgrimage journey of this life.
