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 …

Cape Charles and Botanical Gardens 

I absolutely love Cape Charles. There is something so peaceful about being there. It's another beach town on the shore but with a much slower pace. Delicious cafe's, fun boutiques, friendly people, and a GORGEOUS sunset. Before Christmas, Garrett and I (with moms and brothers in tow) went across the bay to see the lights …

Cape Charles Beach

Mom and I had dinner in Cape Charles earlier this week. It was a gorgeous day and the most beautiful sunset. We strolled down the dock and were joking about which boat we were going to steal. The one photographed is the winner btw haha. My mom is so awesome, I love when she and I …

Beach Sunrise

This past Sunday was an emotional day for me. My Grandma, who passed this June, would have turned 74 that day. I was VERY close to her. It's been very hard without her but I just keep reminding myself that she is no longer in pain and that's all that matters. So a day before …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Love Lulus

I am such a huge fan of dresses. I am a huge fan of showing off a little skin too. Since I only get to dress the way I want in the summer (because that would be inappropriate at school), I go all out. Lulus has been featured on my blog several times. They have soo …
