24 good & bad things that happened in 2016
I normally write a birthday post (which I didn’t) & I usually write an end of the year one too (which I should have done sooner). But this year has been different for me, so this year you’re going to get both in one. The year 2016 was one of a lot of growth for…

monday morning encouragement: life lately
Life lately has been different. It’s been a whole lot of plain.. As someone who thrives & grows on creativity & inspiration, I’m in a spot where I feel like I’m receiving none. I don’t do the things I love to do. I don’t create what I feel I was born to create. I don’t…

a letter to my pa
Dear Pa, It’s been a year now since you passed away. A year go yesterday you were still alive, but a year ago today you were not. I can easily say that this has been the hardest year of my life that I have had to live so far. I tried to write about the…

abbey kay & a night at the reno instagrammys
Instagram started a few years back as a simple photo sharing app. I downloaded it a little over five years ago towards the end of high school & it was fun to have a space dedicated to post whatever picture & caption you wanted. Nowadays Instagram is used worldwide by people to share their lives,…

monday morning encouragement: without the bad, you can’t appreciate the good
This year has been bad. Like, so many tears, tons of sad times, so much heart ache & a lot of lows. This year has been good too though. Really sweet memories, new life, greater, deeper relationships, & the highest of highs. Life is unpredictable & pain is inevitable. Loneliness is real & brokenness is…

monday morning encouragement: reach for the sky, it’s limitless
Life is so unpredictable. It truly is. You never know where it’s gonna take you, who it’s going to bring you, or what will happen any further than one minute out. I can’t tell you how much I truly admire life & it’s unknowing possibilities. There are times that are so hard that you have…

a walk through of tilting the basin with the nevada museum of art
Last week I was invited to a walk through of the art exhibit Tilting the Basin at the Nevada Museum of Art. If you recall I was also able to attend the opening night of the exhibit & you can read about that night here. The walk through tour included a group of us who…

monday morning encouragement: when the good comes, it’s okay to let the bad go
Life is good lately. I feel like I don’t want to believe it, but it’s true. Things have finally turned around. The bad seems distant & I’m unsure how to feel about it. When you’ve lived almost an entire year of your life under a dark cloud of sadness & grief, you almost get used…

monday morning encouragement: it’s a one day at a time kind of life
What will tomorrow bring? Nobody can truly say. We can guess. We can hope. We can long for something great, or grand to happen. But, we really don’t know what tomorrow holds. We’ll never be able to fully predict the future. We’ll never be able to completely promise anything beyond the sunset that brings the…
Welcome to Abbey Kay — a place to be filled with encouragement through real life struggles, a source to ethical fashion & trendy finds, & a guide to my life in Reno, NV.
A few things about me: I desperately want others to know they are seen, heard, & not alone. I believe you should love your body at every stage in life. I think finding a balance in everything you do is more important than striving for perfection. I will always drink black coffee & never not have black nails. I try my best to be open, honest, & real by showing up for others.
Always know that life is unpredictable, but it’s still worth experiencing every up & down it has to offer.
I’m so glad you’re here & can’t wait to connect!
Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be seen.
