I have been working on some cute and cozy things for a little while! 🥰 Taylor even took some time to color in my logo himself to make some different options!

Dougie here is sporting the heavy blend hoodie I ordered for myself. ;)

I was about to start teaching the first kickboxing class of the night when I got a text from Taylor saying, “Guess what?!”. I replied with the usual, “What??!!” and waited for a response. I walked up to the small black ledge in the corner of our studio where today’s workout is posted. I pl...

My best friend at work bought tickets the other day for her and her boyfriend to fly round- trip to Denver, Colorado…for $50 each. That blew my mind. Fifty dollars?! Round trip?!

I have always been fond of words. I like how there are words to describe really specific feelings, thoughts and emotions. So, naturally, I also happen to like quotes too. My bedroom walls are filled with them. Some I’ve picked up from books, others I stumbled across on the internet and others are ...

Traveling for the first time? Here are some basic, but helpful, tips I've learned along the way for booking the cheapest flight!

In my 22 years on this earth, I have never had to book a flight anywhere. But I always thought how hard could it be? Google some flight options, pick a good one, and be done with it.

How fancy are these things? Was my prom dress appropriate? A summer dress? Just a nice shirt and some capris? All these questions ran through my mind and now that I went to his graduation, I can give some solid advice. When I got to his graduation, I settled down in my seat and took a look around. I...

Always my favorite to include in care packages or sneak into his bag before underways and deployments.

Ever since my sailor left for boot camp, I have fallen in love with "open when…" letters. They are so personal and can have a really big impact on your significant other’s day. These letters and their envelopes can be as creative or as simple as you’d like and are great to send during boot cam...

I learned about celery juicing from Instagram a few years ago. After trying it, it has been my go-to for preventing acne (especially the cystic kind!) ever since!

Learn the benefits and how to get started!

For all of my teenage and adult life, I have had acne. Got my period? Acne. Ate a slice of pizza? Acne. Rested my head in my hand during class without thinking? Acne all over my chin and jaw. Forgot to wash my face before bed? A nose full of blackheads and…you guessed it…acne. It definitely hit ...
