Marriage Tips While You’re Stuck At Home
Since we are currently under a we-don’t-know-when-life-will-go-back-to-normal schedule, I thought I would do everyone a favor and share a little marriage advice that I have for being in super close quarters 24/7 with your spouse. Because Derrek and I have multiple children who are all small in age, I get asked so many questions about my marriage. It’s not perfect so let’s just go ahead and put that out there. We are happy and love each other and are very committed to working on things that we need to work on in order to grow together and not apart. For those of you that don’t know, Derrek and I have…

Why You Want Dew Skin
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful Spring weather, I know that we have been doing just that over here in South Carolina. Since we are spending most of our time outdoors, SPF protection is key. Before anyone goes outside, they are sprayed down with the Countersun sunscreen by Beautycounter while protects us from ALL the things outside. You can read more about that here. I put it on the kids faces as well BUT I cannot put it on my face because it breaks me out. Since I am 30 and my collagen production is done, I’ve got to protect my face from the sun’s aging rays by…

My Spring Skin Must Haves
Hey ya’ll! I am so sorry that I didn’t post this yesterday but any week that I travel always throws me off and I am gearing up to head to Arizona for a few days with the leaders of Beautycounter. This is a huge trip for me because I have so many wonderful women that I get to see and catch up and anytime I get to head to a Beautycounter event makes me giddy. With this being said, I am prepping for higher temps (it’s going to be in the upper 80s) and even though a cold front blew threw South Carolina. With warmer weather brings the changing of…

Happy Hubby Happy Life
Six years of marriage has flown by ya’ll. Add four kids to that mix and you’ve got a whole lotta chaos happening at any given time. Derrek and I met a little over seven years ago and have been inseparable since. Let me make it very clear though, it has not been easy but I know that every single thing we have been through has made us stronger than ever. Because we have multiple children who are all small in age, I get asked so many questions about my marriage. It’s not perfect so let’s just go ahead and put that out there. We are happy and love each other…

Staying in the moment
Anyone get FOMO? It’s something that I struggle with. Social media has a way of making it worse. Scrolling someone’s feed and seeing their beautiful vacation pictures, perfect homes and brand new cars. Comparing your life to theirs and wondering why you don’t “have it all.” I read a quote that says “comparison is the thief of joy,” and it couldn’t be more true. I have days where I get so angry that my life isn’t as picture perfect as others. It’s so easy to get into a negative headspace when you are comparing your journey to someone else’s. That sentence really puts it into perspective doesn’t it? Your journey…
