What a day! Got the biggest surprise I posted on my Instagram stories that absolute blew my mind 🤯😭 still crying! The last month has been one of the most exciting, but also has left me feel a bit lost to be honest. I turned 30 last week (!!!), got a house with my boyfriend, and I landed my first national print magazine story (WHAT?). In the midst of all the blessings, I totally took a break from my writing courses, the blog and self-care because I just felt overwhelmed. Cheers to learning it’s OK to have room to grow, and celebrate at the 👏🏻 same 👏🏻 time. Really grateful to be surrounded by family this week as they help me get a tiny bit closer to making our home feel like one! ❤️ http://liketk.it/2ET9d #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder100 #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip #LTKcurves

Good morning! I took a bit of a vacation from the gram, but I’m back and sharing this amazing dress from @chicwish + checking in with you all. Sometimes we need a little absence to make the heart grow fonder, right? This week, I’m feeling 100% inspired to take on new projects for the first time in awhile. I’ve taken on some new volunteer opportunities, and it’s like what’s that unfamiliar feeling? Fulfillment. I also finally feel like I’ve gotten into a routine that makes me feel energized throughout the day. I’ll be styling this on the blog, but here’s a sneak peek of my favorite new LWD. Double tap and/or comment this pic to show Instagram that I’m back so I can continue to show up in your feed!

Good morning! This week has been such a gut punch when it’s come to learning about friendships, work and life! I’m still coming off the high of @brenebrown Netflix special, “The Call to Courage,” which I definitely needed. Here’s a little gem from the queen herself: “True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness.

Happy Friday! We have some new people around here, so I thought it would be a great day for a little #FridayIntroduction! My name is Jillian and I'm a socially conscious lifestyle blogger, journalist, and public speaker who connects women with social causes and sustainable brands, to empower them to use their everyday decisions to make a big impact.
⠀
1️⃣In my free time outside of writing, I love singing and art. 🎼I challenged myself to reconnect with both of those things this year!
⠀
2️⃣If I could live anywhere other than Houston, I’d live in New York. 🚖I chose Houston for my relationship and have since fallen in love with this amazing city but there’s still a piece of me that gets invigorated every time we visit NYC.
⠀
3️⃣I was editor-in-chief of my college newspaper, so I’m a bit grammar obsessed. Lame fun fact, but I’ve always found editing to be cathartic!
⠀
4️⃣My favorite shows are Game of Thrones, The Good Place, Veep and Arrested Development. My boyfriend and I even call my brother “mother boy” but no one else in the family gets it.
⠀
5️⃣I am a more of a paperback reader than and e-book or audiobook. 📚In fact, I can’t listen to audiobooks because I’m so picky about the narrator’s voice! I love curling up with a book and my pup on the weekends. My favorite contemporary authors are Celeste Ng, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Donna Tartt.
⠀
Thanks for hanging out with me and following along! P.S. this sweater is on sale for $15 and I linked it in the LIKETOKNOW.IT app! 📸: banavenuephotog http://liketk.it/2BgAb #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKsalealert #LTKspring #LTKunder50

Floral dresses are my love language. 💕🌸Had the best day grabbing wine with @mommyhaspurpleteeth... don’t worry I was productive as well! Just hit publish on my favorite floral dresses for Spring under $50 just in time for Easter and Mother’s Day brunch! P.S. this dress is on sale for $25 and it’s linked in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app! Did you pick out your Sunday best yet? 📸: @banavenuephotog

Who else had a ROUGH time waking up this morning?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I love that we have sprung forward and get that extra sunlight, though! 👏🏻
1. Maybe it’s the sunshine, but I finally hit publish on TWO new blogs including some little life updates (link in bio and sharing more on stories).
2. I linked this sweet dress in the @liketoknow.it app! Photographing it was a bit of a struggle because it has the same effect as one of those optical illusions that used to blow me away as a kid 🙈

I’m winding down the day with some rosé. And would love to hear how YOUR Monday was 👇🏻

I’m still on an inspiration high from yesterday’s Feel Good First panel with @vitalproteins at @lemon_laine. These women are absolutely INCREDIBLE. At the #FeedYourBeauty event, we had the chance to tackle topics like achieving self-acceptance, overcoming social media toxicity, natural beauty and wellness, and overcoming barriers as female business owners. I feel so humbled to get to join together with other incredible women, all unique in their own way, to share our stories and experiences because FEMALE VOICES MATTER, and YOUR story matters. I’m so inspired by the beautiful women in this photo - go follow them if you’re needing a motivational boost! Thanks to everyone who joined us at @lemon_laine yesterday! #FeelGoodFirst http://liketk.it/2A77L #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Self-care is more than selfies in sheet masks and trips to the spa. To me, self-care involves getting in tune with my body and building self-love by working on myself. From taking yoga to trying a new group fitness class at @equinox as an #EQXPartner, exercise has been a huge benefit to my wellbeing. Elle Woods all taught us endorphins make you happy! What’s your favorite way to practice self-care? #selfcare #selflove http://liketk.it/2yxFY #liketkit @liketoknow.it
