One Important Lesson I Hope to Teach My Daughter

Body positivity has become such a big movement and while I’m all for encouraging women to love their bodies, I think it’s important to not commercialize it for companies and to remember that as people it’s often a journey.  I specifically wanted to write about my personal journey with body acceptance and the one important lesson that I hope to one day pass along to a daughter.

30 Earrings Under $20 to Make a Statement

I’m always looking for pieces to complete a look, but as we get into warmer weather I tend to shy away from bulky necklaces or scarves.  Nobody’s trying to sweat more than they do already, am I right?  I’ve found that a fun pair of statement earrings is a great way to add color, texture, and a third piece to your outfit without risking your temperature shooting up.  I’ve rounded up 30 earrings under $20 because the BEST thing about this accessory is you don’t have to spend a ton to get some bang for your buck.

Where to Celebrate National Donut Day in Louisville | What I Look for In a Donut

LOL I giggled just writing that but, let’s be real there’s some things to take into consideration! My first factor is definitely taste but it’s also worth noting that I consider the atmosphere of the donut shop, the number of variations they offer, friendliness of staff, how they pack to go orders, and my big one – are they traditional or cake based donuts? Hands down, I prefer traditional donuts to cake so I like when shops offer both! {I also consider whether they spell it donuts or doughnuts but that’s a debate for another day.}  Now let’s get to the donuts; if you’re celebrating in Louisville and visit one of these, let me know!

Jumpstart Your Best Summer with Jumpsuits

Guys, a major life change has happened for me recently. I embraced the jumpsuit. This is definitely one of those fashion pieces that I loved on other people but always thought looked wrong on my body and I finally just found that like most other clothing trends, that it’s about finding the right fit for your body type. I’m really looking forward to a summer with jumpsuits because they’re so easy to throw on, instantly look put together, and will be a real life saver when it’s hotter than blazes.
