Travel Diary: Mount Massive

September 22, 2020 No Comments

This blog post is finally here! Two months later, but it’s here! I was talking to someone a few weeks ago and mentioned I hiked a mountain with an elevation of 14,429′ and she stopped me before I could go on and enthusiastically said, “you did a fourteener?!” That’s when I realized what I did was actually a pretty big feat!

A flight to Denver was booked after dinner with Michael one night. We decided we would hike and I let him, the first-time hiker, research where we would go. Looking back now, it was a terrible idea! But hey, I’m alive and here with a story to tell.

I’m so glad I didn’t have high hopes for this summer! I worked my weekdays and played on weekends when I could, including some down time by the pool.

Have you stripped down to the dirty of your finances with a financial advisor? I hadn’t either. What does that even mean? Now that I have, my finances will never be the same.

Summer Style + Fall Colors with Wantable

August 26, 2020 No Comments

Of all the packages I receive, Wantable is the one I look forward to the most lately! I wrote about my first Style Edit here last month. Seven items were selected for me by my stylist and I hadn’t decided what I would keep and what I would return. Update: I kept two of items!

This month’s edit features deeper colors suitable for fall in summer styles that I can still wear in this Texas heat. Let’s take a look:

Diet + Exercise COVID-19 Style

Hello there, August! I say that as the month is coming to an end, but it just comes and goes faster than I can say “coronavirus is the worst.” Ha! Speaking of the virus, remember when we were told not to wear masks? I nearly giggle at how much life has changed since March!

Who here loves getting dressed? I do! Remixing looks before a girls night or brunch has always been fun for me, but sometimes finding the right items takes more time than I have available. That’s where Wantable comes in!

Peewee: A Timeline of My Greatest Joy

June 29, 2020 No Comments

This is hard to write, as it’s my first time seeing it in black and white letters. My little creature of 15 years crossed the rainbow bridge. There’s a lump in my throat, a tear on my cheek, and my heart aches.

Here are bits of our lives together:

Cruelty-Free Skincare: Maelove

March 11, 2020 No Comments

Truth be told I’m not a morning person. Opening my eyes for the first time is always a little difficult, but once I finally get my physical body to the bathroom counter, I’m all in to get my day started!

Starting and ending my mess of a day with a skincare routine has been a priority for years now. The only thing that changes from time to time are the products I use and today I am so excited I get to share Maelove skincare with you all!

Travel Diary: Marfa, Texas

January 5, 2020 No Comments

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is an awkward few weeks where you’re excited for the upcoming holiday but it’s really not coming up as fast as you would hope. During this time frame is when I planned the third blog trip of the year (first trip here, second trip here) The quaint desert town had been on my bucket list of cities to visit in Texas and I finally found girls crazy enough to make the long drive with me!
