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!

    Have you ever come to a point in your day, week, or life, & questioned what you are doing with your time? I know we’ve all been in place at one point in our lives & thought about how we aren’t where we wanted to be, or we aren’t where we want to be anymore.…

    what i buy on amazon using prime

    What did we do before Amazon existed? Ya know, back when we actually had to go to stores to pick up things, instead of browsing a one stop shop from the comfort of our own home & waiting the arrival of your items in just two days. Seriously being an Amazon Prime member is the…

    In the world of blogging I am as basic as they come. Sure, I read all the tips on how to keep blogging fresh & new, & the trick to recycle the content you work so hard to create when the topic is still relevant. But I am still so lost & behind sometimes! And…

    Anyone else feel like the summertime is always just so busy? Maybe it’s just me & the fact that we have 6 family birthdays in the span of two months, or that I’ve had a newer addition coming to the family twice this summer, a family wedding last summer, & another little one who was…

    Independent. They tell us as women that this is what we should be nowadays, or more like “have to be”. They say that we have to do everything on our own, that we have to be dependent on ourselves & independent from everyone else. Feminism shouts empowerment to the woman kind. We hear the story…

    Feelin’ free. As if the words of others didn’t bring you down. Feelin’ free. As if you knew you could accomplish anything you put your heart, mind, & soul into. Feelin’ free. As in not caring about what others think & deciding to “do you’ instead. Feelin’ free. As in having the freedom to live…

    Life happens so quickly. I’m coming up on my 6th year of blogging. My brother & his wife have almost been married for 5 years. I did my first styled photo shoot 4 years ago. My grandpa died 3 years ago. My niece is almost 2, & it was less than 1 day ago that…

    Swim suit season. Who else usually dreads the summer months because they just don’t like being seen in a bathing suit, or as my almost two year old niece likes to call it, a “baby soup”? Summer has always been a time in my life where I usually stay covered up in clothes despite the…

    On the days you feel like life defeated you, know that at least you tried. You tried your best. You tried a little. The point is, you tried. That’s better than not doing anything. It’s better than not even attempting to give it a shot. You have to know that moments & days that feel…
