Have you ever been in an interview, and the interviewer asks the question, “Describe a specific example of a time you…?” Suddenly, you can’t remember a single thing you have ever done in your life. Completely blanking on a specific situation and giving a more general answer is a sure way to hurt your confidence during an interview. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help make sure this doesn’t happen to you again.Read more
To avoid thinking about the crazy fact that it’s already almost September, today’s post is a recap on all the books I read or listened to this month. I am so proud of how many books I was able to read this summer. If you were following along with my journey to read this much, did you meet your goal? Mine was to read eight books, and I finished the summer with a lot more crossed off my list! Read more
It’s football time in Tennessee! You probably haven’t heard that in at least five minutes, so there it is again. In the south, fashion tends to take precedence over football for a lot of women, and I am so excited to share my favorite place to pick up game day tees and accessories! If you have been following along for a while, you know I love shopping at My Kind of Lovely. It’s the cutest boutique in the heart of campus, and they have free shipping for online orders. They couldn’t make it any easier toRead more
I have discussed my love for transitioning and putting the final touch on outfits through jewelry many times on the blog, and I have even shared a snippet of my favorite place to purchase jewelry from. Today, I wanted to do a full blog post dedicated to my favorite jewelry brand of all time. Read more
Seasons come and go. Isn’t that a refreshing reminder in the midst of turmoil and change? My all-time favorite bible verse is Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” This verse has kept me joyful through some of the happiest times and steadfast during the hectic times. I am so grateful to live a life with change and excitement, but I would be lying if I said there weren’t moments of uncertainty and doubt in myself through these changes. Read more
There is something so refreshing about thumbing through a brand new cookbook, mentally marking the recipes you want to try and carefully positioning it to look perfectly with your other books. However, I know more people than not have a “cookbook graveyard,” where all the cookbooks they thought they would get so much use of, go to die. Why is it that we spend our time scrolling through Pinterest for recipes, when we have books in our possession that hard working people have spent months, or years, crafting? Read more
If you have followed me since this time last year, you might have a glimpse into the degree in which I jump headfirst into fall each year around this time. I am usually the first person to walk in and smell the pumpkin candles, browse around the Halloween section and pop pumpkin bread in the oven. Unfortunately, Tennessee does not lend itself to fall clothing options until much later in the year, but I try to squeeze every last drop out of the season’s fashion. To do this, I rely heavily Read more
How has it already been a month since my last Saturday Spotlight? I always think it hasn’t been that long since my last one, and then I write another and realize time flies.
Settlers of Catan- I am an average board game consumer. I would generally say that I really enjoy playing them, but I don’t find myself playing them very often. For some reason Read more
There have been so many good reads in July! It started off as a slow reading month, but then all my library waitlist books seemed to come in at the same time. I started finishing some of the audiobooks in around two days, which really allowed me to “read” more this month!Read more
The selection of winter wedding inspiration on Pinterest is much smaller than one might think. I have always known I wanted to get married in the winter, and I just assumed a ton of other people did too. However, I discovered that there aren’t nearly as many winter brides as there are spring, summer and fall, which has made finding inspiration online difficult to say the least. I like this in a way because I can choose the aspects I want the most at the wedding and not worry about the latest trends or what is “Pinterest worthy.” Sometimes, though, it would be nice to have just a little bit to go on.
Luckily, I did think it would be nice to share the details of my winter save the dates to provide inspiration for any struggling winter bride out there! Here are my winter wedding save the dates and my top three tips to make your invitation process easier. For a more in-depth guide, make sure to visit my post about our invitations!
