Not gonna lie, I was extremely disappointed when our gym closed due to covid-19. I completely understand the reasoning behind it, but I was instantly worried for my health and fitness routine! As someone who works out at least 5 days a week, being a couch potato during all of this just isn’t an option. It would not only affect my physical health, but my mental health as well.

I rounded up some of my favorite ways to stay active while still social distancing! I’m not gonna lie, the past few days my creativity has sparked while working out and my workouts are better than ever. So I hope you find some of these tips helpful & motivational!

What a week it has been y’all! Mostly everyone’s lives and plans have been turned on their head. It is a challenging time and I want y’all to know I am praying for YOU! That’s right, you! Everyone is having a different situation that they’re used to right now in one way or another. Grant and myself are blessed to be people who do work from home, besides my part-time “fun” job at a local consignment shop. Needless to say I’ve been counting my blessings lately because some are not so lucky.

If you have the privilege of still having an income at this time, I encourage you to shop small. Supporting small business is nothing new here on my blog, but now more than ever it is incredibly important to remember those who don’t have a multi-million or billion dollar company to save them. I come from a family of small business owners, including my Dad and my sister who both own and operate small businesses, and it is a scary time for them.

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite small businesses and if you, like myself, have been doing some retail therapy during social distancing, these are some great small businesses to check out and support. Even if you aren’t able to financially support at this time you can support these businesses by sharing this list with your friends, giving them a follow on social media, etc. Remember, supporting small business means to keep a fridge stocked, to keep someone’s lights on, to give a young child resources, and so much more!

Long time, no talk y’all! This was definitely an unintentional two-week break, but it was much needed and deserved. A lot has happened over the last two weeks (hello, coronavirus). But at least at a time like this I do have some knowledge to share with y’all!

I have been doing school online for three years now, and Grant (my fiancé) has worked from home for about 2 years as well. I know many people are encouraged or forced to do the same during this time, so I wanted to share some tips with y’all. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; working from home/online school is not for everyone. But at a time like this we don’t have the luxury to choose, so hopefully these tips can help you out!

I’m back with another Lilly Pulitzer wishlist! I haven’t done one of these in a while, but y’all always seem to love them plus I’m LOVING the new Spring collections. I’ve gotten the chance to do a decent amount of try ons, so if you want to see those head to my Instagram story highlights.

This may be longer than usual, so let’s get into the wish list!

It’s been a minute y’all! I know it’s been a whole month since my last wedding update, but let me assure you there has been no break in planning. Behind the scenes we’ve been having a lot of discussions and have made a lot of choices. So let’s get into what we’ve done since my last diary.
