Walking down Main Street in the last day of the year, reflecting on all 2020 has brought me. The good and the bad. Looking at all of these beautiful homes, and shops, looking at the history that has proven preserved, I can’t help but wonder at my own history that I am living, creating, and exploring. Happy New Years! May 2021 bring us redemption and abundance.

I love fall in Utah 💛💛💛 I’m all cozy in my sweater dress, oversized fleece and these ADORABLE Stuart Weitzman boots I thrifted from @namedroppersoutlet. Feeling very Blair Waldorf/Connecticut in the fall, especially with my velvet and pearl headband.

No makeup, makeup look. Perfect for Easter. Light, dewy and fresh. Hair extensions in INH Remy Lux Mocha Melt

It’s holiday season! If you haven’t gotten your tree I highly recommend going to Walmart, they have the best deals going on right now. I decorated and bought my entire Christmas tree for under $50.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKunder50

I’m in loveeee with this Simply Modern cup! I don’t get snow in Charleston so this reminds me of the blizzards and I’m happy. Chic design - goes with everything. Even better if you monogram it ♥️

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal

✌️☺️✌️enjoying the few month I have in Charleston before I move on the the next adventure. Loving my faux snake skin boots and trench coat. Thrifted but the coat is from pretaporter and you can still find similar if not the same!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKstyletip

Am I in Italy in a cute corner cafe? Am I pretending fall exists in Charleston? Or am I in Nashville on a girls trip with my favorite boots? 🤪 can’t make up my mind

#LTKunder50 #LTKtravel #LTKshoecrush

I’ve been using @kissproducts #pressonnails since middle school & every single time I’m blown away by the quality, style and how easy it is to apply 💅. They’re constantly coming up with new ideas. I love having salon quality “gel nails” with out the salon price. Perfect for a summer wedding 👰 Bride or guest! Linked are some of my favorite ones and the glue I use to make them last longer than a week (of gentle wear)

✨Words of Wisdom

“If you want to see a miracle, be the miracle” - Morgan Freeman

Has a small act of kindness ever made a big difference in your life?!

When I left Hawai’i a dear, dear friend let me hysterically sob on her floor at 5 AM, helped me pack my entire life up in 2 hours, and drove me around the entire island getting all my ducks in a row because I couldn’t trust myself behind the wheel of a car. I don’t think I would have been able to leave without her help. I’m serious when I say she probably saved my life. 🙇🏻‍♀️💔😩 I’m not tagging her out of privacy and safety concerns but...when you read this...Thank You so so so much. I miss you, your hubby, and your baby boy 🙈 I hope we’ll see each other again soon, whether in Hawai’i or in the mainland. 🕊🕊🕊

Don’t forget that even small things make a huge impact in someone else’s life!

I would love to hear of an act of kindness that impacted you- share below! ❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKbeauty #LTKVDay

I love the “feelings” kit from Young Living! I used to suffer from really bad anxiety (and while I am on a great med regimen) this is also a wonderful supplemental tool!

I’m so grateful for this journey & to be able to share my experience— there are so many times that I stop & think about how I wish I would have started this journey sooner and believed in the power of plants sooner! 🌱
I couldn’t see what was possible until someone shared their own story in a way that resonated with me personally. This is why I’m sharing my story- in hopes that you are inspired to take steps toward a healthy & natural lifestyle!

Double tap if you love a good transformation story!

Brunch is not a meal. competition. And I’m winning. – Matt Bellasai .

Monday Moods!
My weekend trip to Savannah was heavenly - I got to try a new makeup system and got some cute pieces from @hm that really worked with this amazing dress I had made for a friends wedding 🛵🔮⛲️ but now I have to get back to the grind 🙈💪🏼😴 What about you dear friend? Are you already dropping some Stress Away in your diffuser or did you reach for Dream Catcher because you need to wake up refreshed & energized for the week ahead?

Super happy with how my eyes came out today! I used the soft glam pallet from @anastasiabeverlyhills to create this look and I’m in love! There is just something about sunshine and sparkles that puts a smile on my face ❤️

“Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.” —Hafsat Abiola

Reminder that thanksgiving is more than turkey & stuffing. Let’s focus on doing better and creating opportunities for decolonization, trans-affirming, and prison reform (to name a few causes)

Y’all need to RUN to @macys! Black Friday deals with @levi and @lucky. I scored an entire winter wardrobe for less than $50.

“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.” —John F. Kennedy.

Remember that we are in charge of our own government. “We the people” Call the coup if it comes down to it. Take to the streets and exercise your right to protest! The important thing is that we changed our collective minds as a nation and whom we want to represent us a nation. I’m not overly optimistic. There are times where I know I feel like David fighting alone, against a giant problem. I find are never in my favor. We are fighting a battle right now for our country, we are sacrificing so much, and it’s easy to feel that all is lost, it’s easy to become immobile, defeatist. But remember that David killed Goliath against all predictions. Catniss still defeated the capital.

The things that both of the stories have in common is that it required young individuals to go against the system, the status quo and to fight with righteous indignation. Micah 6:8 reminds us “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?” (NKJV)

By all means you can be mad that you still have to fight for basic human rights in 2020. You can let absolute evil win by doing nothing or we can go against everything and allow God to be God. Or you can fight, and give him the opportunity to show you what a powerful and amazing Heavenly Father he really is. Together we can move forward knowing that our God is a God of justice and we can be his instruments and tools to triumph over darkness and produce miracles. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #highstandards #dojusticelovemercywalkhumbly #highstandards #christianquotes #milspouse #charlestonsc #goosecreek #navywife #navygirlfriend #airforcewife #airforcelife #airforcegirlfriend #militaryspouselife #militaryspouseblogger #haveaheartfilledday #mrshawaii #mrshawaiiworldamerica #pageantlife #mrspageants #pageantqueen #subwife #subwifelife #changeyourmindset #changeyourlife

I’m trying to be intentional with only buying clothes that I know I need and can match with multiple outfits/my entire wardrobe. Living with limited closet space necessitates a minimalist wardrobe.
That’s why I love these shoes because they go with absolutely everything, same thing with this black crop top. A staple without being stuffy

My signature look has now transformed into “millennial chic” as opposed to “sexy librarian” I am loving sweater weather and all the sales! Check out @dsw and the amazing clearance deals they have going on right now! Got some gorgeous @marc.fisher #blacksuede shoes that go with everything! Just because I’m staying at home more, doesn’t mean I can’t look cute! Dressing up and putting in the extra effort makes all the difference in the world. How are you staying sane?
