  • the opening of west elm in reno

    Reno is known as the biggest little city in the world. We’re a smaller scale town with so many people, yet you run into somebody you now everytime you leave the house. It’s a blessing & a curse quite honestly. But this little city has gotten just a bit bigger with the grand opening of…

  • monday morning encouragement: things aren’t always black & white

    I’ve learned a lot about myself this year. Learned a lot about people too. I’ve learned that the way you were raised shapes the core of who you are, & sometimes that is completely unchangable.  I’ve learned that you can’t change the way other people see or views things no matter how much you wish…

  • monday morning encouragement: be confident in who you are 

    Life is a long stretch of time filled with highs & lows & all sorts of in betweens. It’s filled with hate & love. It’s filled with aggression & peace.

  • monday morning encouragement: the end is just the beginning

  • 10 things to do to get yourself inspired & out of a creative rut

     I’ve been blogging for just over three & a half years. I used to post my outfits daily, which is so nuts to me because it’s never been my full time gig yet I somehow managed to do it. In that time I’ve published over 400 blog posts, shared over 3,800 Instagram pictures, sent roughly…

  • monday morning encouragement: heeey! what you do matters 

     Today has just been one of those days. Stayed up too late. Slept in too long. Drank my wake-up ritual warm lemon water when it had already turned cold. Finished my morning coffee just before noon. Everything was delayed & behind, but I somehow managed to squeeze a cooked breakfast in amongst all the chaos…

  • monday morning encouragement: what in life is truly worth it? 

       Eventually we all come to a point in our lives where we question whether or not the time, money, or energy we spent on something was truly worth it. We wonder where things went wrong, or how we could have done some other things better. We overthink different choices that we may not have thought…

  • monday morning encouragement: you just gotta be real 

      Let’s be real for a sec, I am not a morning  person. I like staying up late. I hate waking up. And I’m not someone who feels fully alert until mid afternoon. So why in the heck do I even offer a series of posts called Monday morning encouragement? I should really write posts around…
