My Top Tips for Making Exercise a Priority

I have a confession, the new year makes me anxious. I have so many ideas that I don’t know where to start or what to focus on… pair that with the after Christmas limbo and it’s the perfect storm for overwhelmed thoughts and emotions. So what’s a girl to to do when she feels like […]

Holiday Your Heart Out!

This year we’re holidaying our hearts out… like adding that extra tinsel to the tree, wearing the heels with glitter sparkles on the heel, and just owning our own style a little bit more.

Sunset Skate Session

We’re starting a new tradition..Family Friday Skate Night! Last Friday we took our longboard skateboards to “The Strand” (a stretch of boardwalk by the Oceanside Pier) and played while the sun set.

Summer Styles + The Jumper You’ll Want To Live In

I never want to forget that Memorial Day is a day to celebrate those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, but I also like to think it symbolizes the start of summer. Growing up my family would invite our whole church over for a swim party BBQ and I looked forward to it […]
