In the stillness of the Saturday after Good Friday, Christ’s closest followers mourned his death and likely questioned the better part of their understanding of Who he is. Why would he lead them only to leave them? Did they have it wrong the whole time? Was he still Who he said he is? If they had only realized Resurrection Sunday was merely hours away…

Interestingly enough — don’t we also tend to do that when we feel like God is silent? Or when our plans don’t quite work out as we had hoped? If we can just hold on, we will see that the stillness and uncertainty are a means to a far more glorious end. He’s proven it before. He leads us still. Alway has, always will.

Be still. 🤍
Psalm‬ ‭46:10-11‬

I’ve got several shades of green for you this fine St. Patty’s Day! 🍀

Last week, I shared out my amazing Tuesday Morning finds and I’m SO excited to show you how I’ve incorporated them into my home! I’ve been itching for a #springrefresh for weeks, despite the cold snaps we’ve been having in Wilmington, and I finally put together my Spring/Summer tablescapes! As promised, here are my Tuesday Morning finds, along with some great staple pieces I’ve been collecting over the years — from Fiesta dinnerware to heirloom milk glass and depression glass pieces.

Tuesday Morning finds are rare gems, so while I couldn’t link the EXACT pieces, I went on a treasure hunt for you and linked some comparable pieces that will get your collections to a unique start! 💚

Happy tablescaping! 🍽

#SpringRefresh :: That clean kitchen feeling when it’s been busy season after busy season and the house has been a tad neglected. I’ll be honest, I do not enjoy cleaning at all, but I will admit that it is so satisfying to see the end result! 🧽✨

Also, my kitchen pendant lights received a little “glow up” recently, so I really wanted to document the “before” look in the cleanest, least cluttered way possible! 😆 Stay tuned for the “after” shot of our new pendant lights — I’m so in love!!! 💡

#LTKstyletip #LTKhome #LTKfamily

#SpringRefresh doesn’t have to be limited to the appearance of your home or a change in wardrobe. You can refresh your spirit with the Word and quiet time daily. Having a scripture of the week to memorize is always a good way to anchor your week in a positive way — I love this set I purchased last year from Altar’d State and can see this being a staple in my home for years to come! 🌿

Just a few things that have caught my eye as we approach Valentine’s Day! Share the link with your S.O. if you spot something you like! 💝

PS: That Volcano candle is actually the “Giant” size and is currently $30 off for a limited time!!! 🔥

I said BRRR!!! ❄️

Thinking of giving your S.O. the perfect bar cart setup for Christmas? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for creating a beautiful display for his libations without breaking the bank! And if you want to go full-on bougieee, I’ve got you covered there too! 🥃

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKhome

Looking for ways to store all those holiday bites and treats without the lids popping off? These are my absolute favorites in food storage! They hold my “California” Deviled Eggs perfectly and keep them fresh (and you can really tell the freshness since there’s avocado in the recipe). 🥑

If you caught my IG reel with the recipe, you’ll see that I also linked the kitchen gadgets I used to make these delish bites! 🥚

#LTKunder50 #LTKhome #LTKfit

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Jessica and Brad this weekend! 🤍 It was so nice seeing familiar faces in my hometown and dancing the night away with some of my most favorite people!

Isn’t Justin so dreamy in his Michael Kors suit?!?!! Huge thanks to my friends at Camille’s of Wilmington for his look! Did you know you can purchase mens suits and tuxedos there?!?!!

The evening was beautiful and perfect in every way, and we are so happy for these newlyweds! 🥂

#LTKHoliday #LTKstyletip #LTKSeasonal

Have you finished all your cyber weekend shopping? 🛍 Here are a couple more deals to add to your cart:

1.) These rarely-ever-on-sale Spanx Faux Leather Leggings (20% off for cyber weekend = $20 off!)
2.) This super soft leopard print pullover ($7!!! No, seriously!)

What you might not know is Camille’s of Wilmington has just brought in a stellar new jewelry line from Kinsley Armelle and I. Am. Obsessed. 💖 These genuine drusy quartz earrings are my new favorites and are only $32! Perfect for gifting (and perhaps a little self-spoiling)! 💁🏼‍♀️

#LTKstyletip #LTKGiftGuide #LTKCyberweek

Since the pandemic started, I’ve been seeing a rise in “individually plated” charcuterie displays — have you seen these?? 🍢 Well, being the sucker I am for charcuterie, I thought I’d try my hand at it! I mean, your guests basically grab their plate and mingle — so easy — and it helps to limit the number of touch points at the food table during cold and flu season. BRILLIANT.

But I think I would still offer a “motherboard” of sorts so that my guests can go back and get more of their favorites, you know? Tell me your thoughts — one big display? individual plates? a little bit of both? 🧀

PS: What’s in the cup, you ask? A festive little autumnal concoction I like to call “Thanksgria” 🍹 that you should totally try this Thanksgiving! Here’s the recipe…

1 750 ml Bottle White Wine chilled
1 cup Apple Cider chilled
1 cup Blackberries
1 Granny Smith apple
1 Honey Crisp Apple
1 Bartlett Pear
1 750 ml Bottle Prosecco (or dry sparkling white wine) chilled
10-12 Cinnamon sticks
10-12 whole Star Anise pieces

Grab a large pitcher, throw in all of the fruit and spices first, then top with the apple cider and wine, then add the Prosecco last. Stir and serve chilled!

Tip: Freeze the fruit first to maintain the chilled temperature! ❄️

Happy Harvest, friends! 🍁

My Fall décor is pretty nontraditional this year and I’m really loving it! I combined softer, cooler pops of color with my love of pumpkins and just a touch of Low Country charm. 🤍

What will your Thanksgiving gathering look like? 🦃 If you’re loving the cooler weather and thinking of taking the occasion outdoors, I HIGHLY recommend swapping the stoneware and fine china for a lightweight, shatterproof option. Enter: Eco Serve. 🍽

The soft color palette options and look of stoneware are what you see, but what you get is a life proof dinnerware collection that helps you spend less time cleaning up and more time enjoying the festivities. You’ll also spend less time in the serving line thanks to how spacious and deep these pieces are — no need to go back for second helpings, it’ll all fit the first time around! 😁

Style Tip: Mix and match the different stoneware-like colors to customize your place settings!

It’s been a hot minute since I posted my scripture of the week! 📖 This is one of the first verses I learned as a kiddo. I memorized the words for a grade in elementary school and can still recite it on command, but it wasn’t until more recent years that I really *knew* the scripture.

So many times I try to “understand” why certain life events happen and I try to connect the dots like I’m Nancy Drew. But at the heart of this scripture is the fact that our understanding at any given time is so limited compared to God’s complete plan. He sees the good and the bad, the mystery and the obvious as a whole, all woven into a pattern for good.

He’s not asking us to try and figure it out first and then trust Him when we can’t solve the puzzle. He’s telling us to trust Him with ALL our heart; leave absolutely no room for “understanding” (which takes us down rabbit holes of assumptions, speculations, untruths and doubts until we’ve dug ourselves miles away from the path He’s laid out for us).

If we acknowledge that He is sovereign in every aspect of our life, we will more fully trust His plan and His directions, and He will only ever direct you down His good and perfectly straight path.

The fastest way to transform a bedroom? Switch up the bedding! 🌻 If you’re hosting Thanksgiving next week, now is the time to “spice” up your guest room for the occasion! 🛏 Slide to the left to see what a difference a quick change of bedding did in my guest room, thanks to Country Living Magazine’s Harvest collection! 🍁

I presented these live on HSN a few times this season and just can’t get over all of the fun options! I started the season with the Pumpkin & Gourd options and loved how the cool color palette transitioned my room into fall so effortlessly. When laundry day came around, I swapped it out for the Golden Pear sheets with the reversible Sunflower quilt and “Sunny Days” fleece + sherpa throw! Bright, yet cozy and layerable warmth for these Fall cold snaps! 🍂

Hurry to get yours before your Thanksgiving guests arrive! 🦃

#LTKstyletip #LTKhome #LTKSeasonal

Tune in at 11:25pm TONIGHT when I return to HSN live 📺 with Daniel Stone home fragrances! Literally, perfume for your room and oh-so luxe combinations of fragrance notes offered in your choice of diffusers or room sprays. You get a set of 2 for $20, so it makes holiday gifting a cinch!

And here I thought I’d only get use out of this outfit in the mountains until winter officially arrived at home! Seriously, BRRR, Wilmington!!! 🥶

This Florida native also didn’t believe in the staying power of Uggs, that is, until I moved to NC and experienced my first full Fall and Winter. I know when I’m beat, and if you can’t beat ‘em, wear ‘em! 😆

ICYMI: I’m back at it with some seriously luxe home fragrance gifts LIVE on HSN today! 📺

Daniel Stone Fragrance is the latest home fragrance designer to launch his product line at HSN and I am honored to represent his incredible handiwork.

You know me, I love a good diffuser, so I’ve been having a blast mixing and matching all 4 of the fragrance profiles at home and customizing my own aromas for each season. Since it’s a 2pk for $20, you can split it with your bestie or keep it all to yourself! 🎁

Link to shop is below, but ask me anything about any of the fragrances and I’ll give you the scoop!

PS: My Mercury glass garland was one of the many finds from our recent mountains trip! ⛰ Check out Simply Main in Waynesville, NC to snag yours (although I’m fairly certain I bought it all, lol). 🛍 #shopsmall

Bidding farewell to another amazing trip to the Smoky Mountains! 🥂 We visited our favorite places with our favorite people and bought all the things! 🛍 It sure is a good thing I brought my Country Living Harvest throws — the entire backing is super soft sherpa, so we stayed nice and cozy as we watched the mountaintop sunsets on the porch while the temperatures dropped! ⛰

Get ready for some serious photo dumps of our trip over the next few days — God’s creation in all its beauty, yummy eats and shopping fun! 💗

For my Country Living “Harvest” Collection airing on HSN, I enlisted a very special visual design duo that took Florida by storm when I was growing up — the design mavens of HT Creative! I know them as Mom and Gail, retired business partners and best friends for life. 💕 We decorated my guest room for my Country Living debut and I just loved every moment spent with them as the whole look came together!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKhome #LTKfamily

✌🏻Friday Vibes✌🏻

Full disclosure, it’s been pretty dreary weather here so I felt like a #latergram was necessary to remind me of sunnier days! ☀️ But also… the ensemble here totally sums up the week!! Coming off a fabulous girls trip where we shopped and ate and played and cheered on our Noles (to a win, I might add) and lost hours sleep we’d lose all over again just to make more memories together. Then, back to work and unpacking and doing laundry and going on a cleanse 😆

💯 worth it.

#LTKstyletip #LTKSeasonal #LTKfamily

Everyone, I’d like for you to meet my amazing Head of Production — my Dad! Now that I am back on @hsn airing fun new products via Skype, my dad graciously comes out of retirement to make sure everything is well lit for each of my airings. He has an eye for detail like you wouldn’t believe! 🤩

I also enlisted a very special visual design duo that took Florida by storm when I was growing up — the design mavens of HT Creative! (Swipe 👈🏻) I know them as Mom and Gail, retired business partners and best friends for life. 💕 We decorated my guest room for my Country Living debut and I just loved every moment spent with them as the whole look came together!

How blessed am I to have these gems in my life?!?!! This weekend, I’m back on air for @countrylivingmagazine airing their fabulous Harvest bedding collection! Tune in this Saturday at 11:59pm (EST) for the most festive bedding this season has to offer! 🛏🍂

One of my favorite autumn-themed snacks to make is a little mix called “Harvest Hash”. 🧡 My sister introduced it to me a few years ago at my nephew’s birthday party and it’s been a seasonal staple in our family ever since! 🍂 The kiddos love the Mellowcreme pumpkins and candy corn, and I’ve noticed the grownups tend to pick out the Bugles and Reese’s Pieces! 😆 I’ve included the ingredients list below because the recipe is pretty much equal parts of everything — just start with a cup of each and add more as you like after that!

PS: If you caught my segment on HSN a couple weeks ago presenting Eco Serve, then you snuck a peak at my bottomless bowl of Harvest Hash! 🎃 I like serving it in these bowls because they are so deep AND if the kids handle them (and you know they will), they won’t break if dropped, even though they look like stoneware! Doesn’t hurt that they’re dishwasher safe too. 😉 Anyway, here’s the recipe…

HARVEST HASH:
Brach’s Autumn Mix
Bugles
Reese’s Pieces
Chex Rice Cereal
Mini Pretzels
Pumpkin Spice Cheerio’s

OH! And the Eco Serve melamine dinnerware is linked below! Mix and match — you’ll love the cool color combos.

Y’all. I’m seriously getting into this boho fedora trend! You’d tell me if it was a mistake though, right?!?!! 😆 This was me earlier this month, all dolled up to walk the @camillesofwilm bridal runway show in a gorgeous @maggiesotterodesigns bridal gown. 🤍

I hadn’t put on a wedding gown in over 12 years since marrying my sweetheart and, believe it or not, I’ve avoided it altogether over the last year while working at the bridal boutique. I’m not exactly in the shape I was on my wedding day (who is?!?!!) and I dreaded finding out what size I’d fit into now. I make it a point to speak life into bride after bride, but somehow I couldn’t muster up the courage to do the same for myself. But I sucked it up (and sucked it in, lol) and it turns out that my size wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my head!

Can I just tell you how freeing it actually was to step into those designer gowns for the first time in over a decade? Every curve was expertly sculpted, every bead sparkled beautifully and every inch of lace and tulle made me feel like I was floating on a cloud. I relived the magic of 12 years ago, how pretty I felt in that moment and how all I could think of was, “I can’t wait for Justin to see me in this dress”. THAT is what every bride should feel like when they’ve found “the one”. And that’s what I do every week!

BTW… Hypothetically, what if I told you that a favorite local boutique is working on a capsule collection of private label hats for all occasions?!?!! 🤩

Hypothetically…….. 👒
