Gift Guide: Valentine’s Gifts *all* Categories

The giving and receiving of gifts is my love language, meaning I’m constantly on the hunt for great gifts to bestow upon countless individuals in my life. I know it’s typical to gift to your romantic partner on Valentine’s, but I actually think it’s the perfect excuse to buy something special for your girlfriends, mom or anyone else important in your life.

Once I started working on this post, it was hard to stop listing gifts! I’ve divided it up into categories to make sifting through it a little bit easier.Read more

I’m so happy to finally report my blog is now optimized with Bloglovin! I’ve loved and used this website to follow my favorite bloggers for years, and I hope this helps you do the same with me.

If you’re not familiar with Bloglovin, it’s simply a blog post aggregator. You can follow as many blogs as you want— then they will appear in your feed updated each day. I love to log on first thing in the morning and catch up on the blogs I regularly check.

5 Ways to Make Valentine’s Day Special This Year

If I’m being honest, Valentine’s Day has never been my *most* favorite holiday. I generally love it, but for some reason it just doesn’t hold the excitement for me that other holidays do. I think it has something to do with the lead up for it being short— it feels weird to start celebrating it in January, but then you only have two weeks to build up to it during February.

This year lends itself to an even more difficult Valentine’s Day season due to the complications brought along by COVID-19.

Although, when I was making my free February backgrounds, I did feel myself leaning more into the Valentine’s spirit and thinking of a few ways I wanted to celebrate the holiday of love during this isolated season. I think I came up with a few fun and unique ways to celebrate safely this year, and I’m excited to share those today!Read more

What I Read: January 2021

Six Books I Read in January 2021

I’m back for another installment of “What I read: _____!” I know I mention it every single time, but I just LOVE doing these. I’m determined to start making them more detailed because I’ve had requests for more book/reading content recently. Please let me know if you like this format or if there’s something in particular you would like me to share about each read.

In our recent “The Business of Influencing” podcast episode, we talked about what our dream brand sponsorships would be, and after writing this, I’m kicking myself for not saying a publishing house!

This is the best month I have ever had for reading, by a long shot. I’m very cyclical on habits— I get really into streaming, books, cross stitch, etc. all at once. This month was really reading, and I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to read this many books in one month again, but I hope that’s not the case!

So, if you’re looking for great books to curl up to with all winter long, make sure you see which ones I recommend and which ones I’d skip below.

Here we go!

My newly engaged friends are always asking me, “what should I put on my wedding registry?” It’s honestly one of my favorite questions, because I had so much fun during our wedding registry process.

Today, I am sharing five of the best items to register for on Amazon. These products are all in the lower range of spending, which works to round your registry out nicely. Let’s get into it!Read more

featured-image

I get a lot of questions, both personally and through my blog/socials, concerning Madewell jeans, and each time I’m filled with a mix of excitement and nerves. Excited because I get to play a small role in introducing someone to Madewell denim but nervous because these jeans are a very, very expensive recommendation. I thought it might be nice to have this guide on hand to direct people toward whenever I get questions about them. Plus, stick around to the end of this post to learn how I never buy a pair of Madewell denim for full price.Read more

Our Charleston Trip: Where We Ate + What We Did

featured-image

So. so many people we know have been to and love Charleston, but I still thought it would be fun to roundup where we went and where we ate on our recent weekend trip there. It seemed like every time I posted something about us being there, I had five new people commenting and messaging their love for the city and favorite spots to go and eat at! This trip was a little unique because I feel like Charleston is less of a popular destination in December and January, but it was perfect for us! Read more
