Nina and I left our hubby’s behind as we set out for Big Bear a few Sunday’s back. We kinda gotta a late start due to me sleeping in…#noregrets. But to be honest we should have left a little earlier so we would have more time there. Pretty sure I stayed up really late the night before!

Read the full post for our itinerary, my quick tips on planning the trip, and our favorite moments!

Happy Galentines Day Ladies!!! I feel so fortunate to have so many incredible, strong, opinionated, and self driven women in my life. So many creative actors, business women, and entrepreneurs who are making it happen. I feel so blessed by this girl right here for always being there for me, sharing her heart so openly, and pursuing Jesus hard!!! She inspires me.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I’m so excited to share my go to favorite looks to make your night magical! I’ve always loved the brand French Connection and I won the jackpot when I snagged this dress on SALE at Bloomingdales for $100. I’ve linked my entire look below! Delicate earrings and a classic sequin clutch are the perfect accessories to any Valentine’s Day outfit. This one is a timeless dress you can wear year after year and will always be in style.

In the past six months my husband Christopher and I have gone consistently to marriage counseling to reconnect and heal what had been broken from our long distance relationship. One of the patterns for me as his wife was “selfish tunnel vision.” No my counselors didn’t come up with that I did that all on my own! Haha! What I mean by selfish tunnel vision is I was seeing our marriage through a very small lens of my own feelings, hurts, betrayals, and hardships but not seeing my husband’s feelings. Basically playing the victim of our issues versus looking inwardly to what role I played in our disconnect because you can only control yourself.

Wow you guys, I’m so pumped so share my thoughts on my first pair of clip in extensions. I have a lot of thoughts and advice to share when getting your own first set so I hope this posts can help anyone who has thought about investing in extensions. I’ve had my eye on Barefoot Blonde extensions for the last year and for Christmas I was finally able to purchase them! And don’t let the brand name fool you, there are many darker shades like the one i’m wearing on their website. Also, shop my look in this post too!

It’s blowing my mind that 2018 is almost over! And let me tell you I can’t wait to ring in 2019. This year has been full of laughs, wonderful experiences and the most tears I’ve ever cried. If you want me to sugar coat it then you should move on to another blog because I’m talking about only the real and raw things here. I’m sharing my highs and lows from this year and why I think 2019 will be my best year yet!
