I celebrated my 29th birthday on Wednesday 🎉 - it blows my mind that I’ve entered the final year of my 20s! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday earlier this week. All I wanted for my birthday was some sunshine, the beach, and seafood, and that’s exactly what I got 🌞🌊🦀

Bought this dress last year to hug my postpartum bod in the best places and even almost a year later, it fits just as beautifully. Perfect for nursing and maternity, too! #nursingmama

I swear by these swim suits & they’re still on sale for 30% off! Unfortunately this Rifle Paper Co. print is sold out but there are so many pretty colors 🥰 & Claire’s rash guard suit is perfect for summer!

We finally got our ceiling fan installed this week! According to the poll in my stories last week, 139 people said a ceiling fan is an absolute must in the bedroom, and only 11 said it wasn’t necessary 🤯 We’ve been using a tiny plug-in fan since moving in last March, so we’re pumped for the upgrade.
All that’s left to work on in the master is installing new closet doors & adding something above the bed! So happy with this room 🌿💙
I rarely use Like to Know It anymore, but nearly everything you see is linked 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fun fact: I don’t think I knew what a calorie was until I was 18 years old. I discovered fitness & lost 20 pounds during the second half of my freshman year of college, and I’ve fluctuated ever since. I used to get frustrated with myself - “all that hard work for nothing.” It definitely took some time to realize that it’s silly to hold myself to the same standards as I did 10 years ago. At 29, I just want to be the happiest, healthiest version of myself. Right now, that looks like yoga, dog walks, 20 minute HIIT workouts and (hopefully soon!) swimming laps 💪🏼
In other news - this @lululemon bra was 100% worth the money + this mirror WILL NOT STAY STREAK FREE 😡😡😡

Been on the hunt for some athletic summer shorts and completely forgot about how much I love Nike Tempo shorts 😍 These are the best for beating the FL heat while taking the dogs out/working out in the garage during quarantine. On sale for $22/each! 🏃🏼‍♀️ http://liketk.it/2PwFz #liketkit @liketoknow.it Shop my daily looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip #LTKfit

A part of me wanted to hold off on posting anything until it’s totally “done,” but what’s the fun in that? Here’s our master bedroom progress so far! To be purchased: bedside lamps, something to go above the bed, and more throw pillows 🖤 I linked nearly everything on @liketoknow.it (including this beautiful rug!) #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome http://liketk.it/2OTGz @liketoknow.it.home

Living for this new sports bra & these leggings are BUTTER 🧈 10/10 recommend these leggings for walks, errands, or lounging. Note: they definitely show sweat during intense workouts! http://liketk.it/2OPzi #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Re-adding this photo because this is my favorite swim suit of all time - and it’s on sale 😍 less than $18 for the top, less than $18 for the bottoms! http://liketk.it/2OPy9 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

So excited for these! I love Adidas for work shoes as a speech-language pathologist. So comfy! http://liketk.it/2JhJO #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The pairing of this @amazonfashion romper + my hiking boots is the exact reason why I could never be a successful fashion blogger 😂 Safety > everything. I would have broken both my ankles & busted my ass approximately 38 times in Hawaii if it weren’t for these bad boys. I miss wearing them every day 🏔🏝 I just plain miss Kauai. I think Ryan & I bring it up with each other at least 3x a week. Our plan is to return in 5 years but I feel like that’s too long to wait 💃🏼 http://liketk.it/2HVSQ #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder100

Had the best time celebrating the new Mr. and Mrs. Bentson this weekend...12 years later and they finally tied the knot on their first date anniversary 💗👰🏻🤵🏻 - HOW CUTE 👏🏼 http://liketk.it/2HIXm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip

Randomly picked this up last night for a wedding today 💗 50% off in stores, BOGO 70% off online! The velvet material feels very 90s (which I love)...I’m excited to dress her up with some heels & curled hair later 💃🏼 http://liketk.it/2HBdt #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKholidaystyle #LTKholidaygiftguide #LTKunder100 Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

My first Madewell jeans 😍 Can’t wait to try these fits! I’ve been wanting to try them for awhile, so I had to jump on their 30% off sale! http://liketk.it/2HyQC #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKholidaystyle #LTKholidaygiftguide #LTKunder100

Sea sickness aside (whoops 🙋🏼‍♀️), booking a catamaran adventure to see the Na’Pali Coast up close and person was one of the best decisions we could have made on this trip. We saw a TON of Hawaiian spinner dolphins + I snorkeled for the first time and saw so many fishies 🐠🐟🐬 So thankful for this trip & life with you, @ohhfreddy.

Shopping for honeymoon things & more specifically, an outfit for our little mini shoot with @juliakathleenphoto while we’re there (in Kauai 🌊). I’m obsessed with kimonos (purchased!) & I think I’ll go back for this body suit...fairly certain it’s on sale for $20 right now 👏🏼 (orrrr should I do white? 😬) ...between my upcoming bachelorette party & the honeymoon I feel like I’m buying clothes left and right and my wallet is not thrilled. WHOOPS.

Bridal shower attire 💓
These shoes are seriously so comfy, and I had the hardest time finding a white lace dress with a neckline that wasn’t...well, up to my neck. 10/10 recommend both of these, especially if you’re a soon-to-be bride 😍 http://liketk.it/2DSmP #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Sunday scaries aren’t even a thing when you know you’ll be seeing @stickfiguremusic at #redrocksamphitheater in less than a week 🏔✈️ alllll smiles here. #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2B98e #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app

“I’m freezing, ice to meet you” 🥶 Embracing my inner marshmallow because it is much colder here than anticipated ❄️ ...my first time in Texas and of course it’s been snowing on and off (probably more like sleet...err, mini hail? Idk I’m from Florida). I am one chilly Willy! But loving ATX so far 😍 already wanting to plan a trip back & I haven’t even left yet. #keepaustinweird http://liketk.it/2zOj0 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

When I started my job back in October, I went weeks at a time without making a single wedding plan. I felt like we had all the seemingly “big stuff” figured out, and we had a year to plan, so what’s the rush?

For the most part, I still kind of feel that way...but then I’ll have those nights (like last night, for example 😂) where I’ll be up until 11 p.m. with 15 tabs of potential invitations that we don’t actually need for another six months, thinking way too hard about which wedding website to use, and browsing honeymoons we can’t afford 🤷🏼‍♀️ #allornothing, am I right?

On the topic of all things wedding, I finally posted some of our favorite photos from our engagement shoot #ontheblog 💓 Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2zDMf #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert

“Okay, that’s enough.” — Still hurts a bit to smile (thanks to Monday’s mouth surgery 🤪) but how can I not be happy when it’s one of my favorite days of the year? #gasparilla2019

We’ve been toying with the idea of buying a house this year, but perhaps we’ll just move into @cavu instead ✨ had the best time hanging out with UNation and some local Tampa businesses tonight. Thanks for the invite, @keepingupwithkahla! 💓

Knee-deep in a margarita somewhere...🧂 (when are we going to get a marg emoji?). ‘Rita in hand: Tampa Water - Milagro Silver, Patron Citronge, fresh watermelon juice, agave, & fresh lime juice ✨ at GUAC in Tampa 🥑 ...had the best time on Thursday, and can’t wait to go back! (recommendation: the spicy guac 😛)

Another day, another @americaneagle dressing room 🙆🏼‍♀️ (the lighting + white walls are just too good to pass up). First time putting on a mini skirt since roughly 2009...actually LOVED this one, but it felt a bit short in the back for me 👀😂 (big booty problems). THIS SWEATER, THOUGH 💓🙌🏼 I already have it in blue, but scooped it up in maroon instead of gray (linked).

When in the District...🍩 This brown butter doughnut was delish, but the apple cider doughnut holes next to me were the real party starters 😛 @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKholidaystyle #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 http://liketk.it/2yDUZ

Back inside an American Eagle dressing room 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was this 👌🏼 close to wearing this top for our engagement photos...I’m obsessed with the wide sleeves! I ended up buying this + the one in my photos because they were on super sale. Both are 50% off ($20!) 💓 aaaand finally bit the bullet on these jeans - best high-waisted pair I’ve ever tried on!
