Life Update – Summer 2020

July 31, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

Well, it has definitely been a hot minute – aka 2 months… I took an unexpected break because, well, life was crazy! The past few months I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Between four summer classes, visitors, moving, and more, I honestly haven’t had 2 seconds to myself in a long time. Needless to say between personal life and the world in general at the moment, I was/am incredibly stressed out and was not in the right headspace to post a lot.

In August I want to try to get back into the swing of things, now that life is getting to a new normal. So today I figured I would give you a bit of a life update so you can see what I have been up to. 

June:

  • My best friend came to visit us in Florida – and we had a blast together!
  • I was (and am still) completing work weekly for four online summer classes – this semester has been a literal nightmare and I can’t wait to graduate in December.
  • My family came came to visit and we went on a mini vacation which consisted of a Disney resort, SeaWorld, Palm Beach, and Discovery Cove.
  • We packed countless boxes to move.

July:

  • Grant and I decided to go to Universal Orlando – his first time ever! We had such a good time and I am so glad we got to go before we moved.
  • My parents came back to Florida one week after they left to help us move.
  • We went to Magic Kingdom one last time for the Passholder Preview – and it was amazing.
  • We moved!

Oh, I also haven’t mentioned on the blog that on July 1st I OPENED AN ONLINE BOUTIQUE!

Starting a boutique is something I have wanted to do for a long time, I just never knew if it was going to happen and when. I am not gonna lie, we probably look crazy for starting this during a pandemic. But months of research was happening way before the pandemic, and if you wait for the “right time” to follow your dreams, it will probably never happen.

I am so proud of Modern Prep and I can’t wait to see how it grows and where it takes us. We will be launching a new collection of jewelry and accessories tomorrow (August 1st) and I can’t wait for y’all to see it. Make sure you follow the boutique on Instagram @ShopModernPrep, and check out the website ShopModernPrep.com and sign up for our email list to get exclusive offers and updates!

I know this is definitely a crazy time and everything, including me, has been anything but consistent. But I can’t express enough how much you all mean to me and how thankful I am for you all. I hope you are all doing well, and I can’t wait to create more for y’all.

Cheers!

xoxo
Jayme

Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️ But Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️

But with overcast skies, weather in the 60’s, and no vacations planned until the end of August - it’s hard to pick up the call😅

While we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
