Self-Care During the Holidays + My Christmas GIVEAWAY!

It is truly the most wonderful time of the year, but for many of us, it can also be the busiest time of the year. I am easily stressed (who isn’t?), so it is important for me that I take some time to rest and recharge. Self-care can be different for everyone. For some, it could be reading a book after taking a warm shower. For others, it might be eating a big bowl of macaroni and cheese while watching a Christmas movie. 🙂 I thought I’d share my personal favorite winter self-care practices with you all. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they are all beauty-related. 😉 Continue Reading

Yay for Christmas Break!

My 12 Days of Christmas is nearing an end because Christmas is almost here! I worked at the bridal boutique all day and closed up shop for Christmas. Now it is Christmas break!

Festive Christmas Sugar Cookies

We’ve made it to Day 6! Christmas is so soon. I can’t believe it! Today was a fun and busy day. My sister and I went to get our nails done for Christmas and shared a pizza for lunch. This evening we went Christmas shopping with my dad, and then I wrote out the very last of my Christmas cards! I was afraid I wouldn’t get this post up in time, but I made it. 🙂 Continue Reading

Our Magical Wedding Venue // Wedding Update No. 6

I am so thrilled to be sharing this post. Nicolas and I have found our dream wedding venue, and I simply couldn’t wait until the wedding to write about it! In case you didn’t read my last post about our wedding cake, we are getting married in Pittsburgh! It is a beautiful city not too far from where we (and the rest of my family) live, and there is an international airport that makes it easy for Nicolas’s family to fly in. Continue Reading

Feeling 22

Today I am twenty-two years old. I cannot believe it! I have anticipated turning twenty-two since Taylor Swift released her song 6 years ago. Listening to that song, I always imagined that when I turned twenty-two I would feel so ‘grown-up’ and have my whole life together. (HAHA) Continue Reading
