monday morning encouragement: quit slacking & start acting
It’s another Monday. One that I swear I have lived before, & that’s because I have. It’s the same as last week. It’s the same as a month ago. It’s even the same Monday as two years ago. And that’s because I’m really good at letting things not change in my life. I’m really…

mascara round-up: testing out three cruelty free options & one that is not
If you follow me over on my Instagram (@abbeykayblog) then you’re probably familiar with my weekly beauty posts under the tag #akbeautytuesday. I’ve been doing it for almost two years now & I love sharing my reviews on all kinds of beauty products. It’s fun for me to try out new things & see what…
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.
