  • monday morning encouragement: be still my soul, a tribute 

       Be still my soul.  Know that today will surely pass. Tomorrow will come & today will soon be the past. Be still my soul. Know that the memories will last. The days may fade, but never will the smiles or the laughs. Be still my soul. It’s okay to be sad & cry. Your…

  • monday morning encouragement: live intentionally 

       This weekend wasn’t the best for me. It wasn’t my favorite at all. It was chaotic & exhausting & not at all what I wanted. I went to sleep last night & sort of craved Monday morning. I needed this morning to be the restart button for routine & normalcy. I wanted to live…

  • monday morning encouragement: courage dear heart 

       Sometimes just one little word has the power to get you through the day, & that word is courage. Courage to be braver. Courage to do what is right. Courage to know that today is just one day, but to realize it means so much more than that. It may just be another Monday…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
