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!

  • monday morning encouragement: it’s okay to be fancy

       Monday. I hate you, but I love you. It’s the end of freedom & the beginning of a long journey to reach the end of the week again. It’s a vicious inevitable cycle that we humans live for, the work week to end so that the weekend can begin, again. We think that only…

  • laugh a little, again

       The last time I posted these little funnies everyone loved them, it was a huge hit. So I’ve rounded up some more that are just as funny for a second stab at getting you all to laugh a little bit today. Pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, & enjoy!                     …

  • monday morning encouragement: find the joy

       Joy. It’s a word that’s hardly ever associated with an early Monday morning. You overslept, you’re running late for work, you actually have to go to work, you have to deal with coworkers, you’ll probably get stuck in traffic, & you might miss that meeting. But, instead of seeing all the things we have…

  • 10 (pretty good) reasons why I am not Kim K

    I don’t know when it began, with her fame or with my own, but I cannot count the number of times I have walked into a room & somebody asked me if I was Kim Kardashian. Actually I totally can. One time it was the Children’s Pastor at my church, he now only calls me…

  • monday morning encouragement: just another magic monday

       It’s just another magic Monday…& cue the ever so popular 1986 song Manic Monday  by The Bangles. Haven’t heard it? Well you should click that link & listen to it right now. It’s a good song & I don’t even know how I know it. But my head pretty much thinks in song lyrics & movie…

  • summer 2015 favorite moments

    Fall starts this week & it feels like the weather just started getting warmer. I can’t believe autumn madness is just around the corner even though some crazy’s have already started going full on pumpkin. This summer honestly blew by so fast & I feel like I did so much, but very little at the…

  • bloke body review

    I’m not sure what first drew me to the Bloke Body brand. Whether it was the all natural & cruelty-free products or the eye catching floral packing, but I knew right away that I wanted to try it out when I saw it pop up on my Instagram feed. So a few weeks ago when they were…

  • monday morning encouragement: change the inevitable

       Somethings are inevitable, like Mondays. They happen with no question or say. And so do things like negative thoughts & bad moods. We don’t really want those things in our lives. But days & emotions are inevevitable & it’s what we do with them that change things up. So, change the inevitable. Choose to…

  • laugh a little 

      Last night I stayed up later than I have been lately & couldn’t stop screen shotting all these funny & oh so true sayings. I have no idea who originally makes these, or who the genius behind the hilarity is, but I love seeing them pop up in my feed throughout the day. They crack…

  • monday morning encouragement: go adventure 

       Today is Monday again, but at least it’s one that’s a holiday. It feels like a second Sunday & that is the best thing ever. There’s no need to be sad today. There’s no need to dread today. Today is made for fun & relaxation & getting things done.  So go, go adventure today.…
