    Know Your Truth

    sweater – sold out (similar) | jeans | heels | necklace In the spirit of being transparent, I am going to continue sharing details about my life that are deeper than surface material and more my truth. I’ve shared a little about my journey after getting married and it’s helped me connect with so many women who also went through the same thing. I want to write it out in case anyone else is in a place where they need to hear.  For the longest time, I felt like I wasn’t living life the way I was supposed too. There have been so many hard times and obstacules faced throughout…

    The Real Housewives of…. JUST KIDDING!

    jacket (sold out – similar) | top | leggings | shoes | shades hayyyyy ya’ll! I hope you’re having a wonderful week. The weather is warming up – SLIGHTLY anyways, and this Southern girl appreciates it SO much. I am unbelievely ready for Spring I can taste it! Who else is with me? I labeled this blog as “Real Housewives” because I LOVE this outfit, it makes me feel like I need my own TV show AND because of something else that has recently occurred. On a serious note, I was nervous to share but it’s important so I am going too. When I was younger, I was bullied. It…

    My 2018 Gym Life in Collaboration with Fabletics

    Another week has come and gone and that means another week at the gym has as well. I started working out regularly when Derrek purchased gym memberships for the two of us a couple of months back. Derrek has worked out regularly for over ten years so I look to him for most of my guidance. At the end of 2017, I definitely took time off from the gym but I’ve picked back up where I left off! I can see how it becomes easy to slack off from working out regularly but I am a woman on a mission. Seven years ago, I was 60 pounds overweight and very unhappy.…

    New Years Resolutions 2018

    It is so crazy that 2017 has come and gone. Time is flying by at lightening speed and every year brings so many new memories. I never understood the term “time flies” until I had children. They are the perfect example of time, they are growing so quickly in front of my face that it scares me. It also reminds me that almost six years have passed since I became a mom and sometimes, it’s hard to remember that I was my own person before that. I love spending my life with them 24/7 but not having any “me time” isn’t healthy. I can look back and see when I’ve…

    Healthy Gummies for the Entire Family

    I’m pulling out all the stops during winter break and that means finding things to do that include the kids and keep our immune systems boosted. I cannot tell you how many cold, stomach virus and flu posts I’ve seen but thankfully only one person in our house has gotten sick all winter. Last year, when Nolan was in public school, he brought home everything known to man and it traveled through our household with a vengeance. I feel like we were all sick every week and it was so frustrating! This year, I’ve spent more focused time on the supplements we incorporate into our daily routine and ways to…
