How I taught myself fauxlligraphy

featured-image

Have you ever been scrolling through Instagram or tapping past Instagram stories and come upon a “candid” photo of someone’s beautiful latte next to their handwritten notes? Do you ever stop and think, “wow, if only my handwriting looked like that!”

That happened to me dozens of times. I have even been the one to post the candid photos with artsy handwriting and a beautiful coffee. Today’s post is all about the fauxlligraphy movement- what I love about it, how I learned the basics of it and what products you need to get started. Read more

My favorite summer sandals

One of the best aspects of summer is the ability to wear sandals all day, everyday. While I have my trusty winter favorites, there’s just something about summer sandals that are so much easier for everyday wear. Now that it’s officially summer, I wanted to share my must have summer shoes. Read more

An update on my cooking journey

I am not a chef…. yet. Before this summer, my kitchen experience included lots of baking, heating up leftovers and making soup in the microwave. My mom is the best cook, and I have watched her and talked to her while she has prepared the yummiest meals for so many years, but I rarely ever worked on the meals myself besides stirring something here and there.  Read more

All about our registry

One of the wedding tasks I looked forward to the most in those first few days of engaged bliss was registering. I have always looked forward to walking into a store with my husband-to-be and saying “we’re looking to start a registry here!” and getting that funny scanner and picking out all the pieces we will hopefully fill our home with. Today’s post is all about where we registered, what we included on our registry and some fun tips and tricks we discovered along the way. Read more

Hi friends!! I hope everyone is having a great week. It’s back to almost regular work hours this week after a few days off, and I am ready to get back in the swing of things to say the least!

One of the most exciting things happened over the weekend- My first bridal shower was hosted by my best friend since birth. It was so much fun. The theme was “she found her main squeeze” and had the cutest lemon decor! I am going to post the details on my Instagram story and already posted my outfit from the shower if you want to check that out! Read more

What I read in May

Hi friends! As I am writing this, I am on a bus to Martin, Tennessee for a work trip. I have been to Martin once before to attend my mom’s college graduation, so there really isn’t a better time to write this post. I got my love of reading from my mom, all through my childhood and while I was in school I watched my mom speed read through book after book, and it always made me want to read Read more

We booked our honeymoon!

The title of this blog post makes me so, so excited!! I can’t believe that we know where we are going on our honeymoon. Since we first got engaged and did the general wedding planning things (date, venue, dress, etc.) I have looked at dozens of honeymoon destinations. The first place we looked at was London, England, but we glanced at flight prices right after the wedding, and they were insane! Right after Christmas is a travel hotspot, and it was making flights more expensive thanRead more

Wedding Update No. 2

Hi everyone! It’s been a few months since my first wedding update. When I wrote that one, we hadn’t done engagement photos, finished our dessert plan or booked our getaway car. Now, we have all those things done! We did so much in those first few weeks, that I felt like I wasn’t going to have that much to update you guys on, but when I sat down to write it I kept coming up with notes! At this point, I am actuallyRead more

Hello summer friends! It’s officially summer for me, yay! I am spending as much time as possible at the new pool that is at the apartment I am staying at for the summer. It has been so nice, I have never had a pool readily available in my life, and I could definitely see myself getting used to it now that I am here.Read more
