No Heat Waves

I actually have really straight hair. I'm jealous of the people who just wake up with picture perfect hair. In reality, that's not me. I normally wear my hair up in a bun so that I have a natural wave in my hair (so I don't have to use heat products). I'm trying to be …

Sunset Cruise

​ ​ The Chincoteague Cultural Alliance hosted a fun drinking sunset cruise this past weekend. Free drinks and food with the purchase of your ticket. The boat took us (almost) around the whole island. Live music was performed by a local girl named Jessie - she does a lot of performances for the CCA. The …

Things You Shouldn’t Be Self Conscious About…

We all know that nobody is perfect - (I should point out that my mom says I'm perfect....jk) but for real though - nobody is. Sometimes though we can't help but stress over the little things, especially when it's summer and bikini season. Here are some things we all worry about (when I say we, …

Sanderling Resort

We visited Sanderling Resort this past weekend. When I say we, I mean myself and 11 other girls. My best friend, Hope, is getting married in 2 weeks so we had a last hurrah for her. Sanderling is a beautiful resort and spa in the Outer Banks. We spent so much time beaching it up …

Packing process

I'll be going to the Outer Banks this weekend. Surprisingly, for the FIRST time! I don't live that far way from the OBX. It's weird though..... living at the beach and going to another beach...isn't it? I absolutely LOATH packing. I never know what to pack, what everyone else is packing, what if the weather …

Kate Somerville

I am super thankful that I won a whole mess of goodies from Kate Somerville this summer. I posted awhile back about trying out their products for the first time and how amazing I thought they were. Finally sharing what I use and why! Hint...cause these products are the BEST. Most of these you are supposed …

Stila Cosmetics

Stila Cosmetics are AMAZING! I have been using their products for awhile now and I can't say enough about them. Being the huge lip gloss girl that I am, I am over the moon when I find a brand of gloss that actually stays all day. I hardly ever have time to reapply my gloss …

Weekend Highlights

I am so excited to celebrate my girl Hope and her upcoming wedding. Her bridal shower was a definite success. She has been blessed with so many great friends and family - I couldn't be happier for her. Hope has been my best friend since the moment we met in college (thanks Holly!) When we get …

What NOT To Do At A Wedding

I know from personal experience that spring/summer time means WEDDINGS! Since Garrett and I have been together (as adults) we have been invited to weddings, had our own wedding, and been in several weddings - most of them during the spring/summer. This summer is no exception -  my best friend is getting married in August! …

Jamie Young Photography

Jamie Young does the most amazing photos EVER! I have known her my entire life - no really....... all 26 (almost 27) years. She is family but that's not why I love her photography. I love it because she is so great at capturing moments. She has an eye for color and is able to …
