Starting Fresh + New Beginnings

I know I usually do not post on Thursdays, let alone back to back to another post but I can’t wait another week. I need to have a little chat with my loyal readers…

I have made a big decision in my life. A decision that I have been wanting to make for while. A decision to follow my dreams and pursue my new beginning in something I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember.

My weekend morning are very different from my week day mornings.

The weekend is my time to not only relax but work most on my blog, video editing, and now my newly established photography business (you can visit my Facebook page for my photography here)!

I have struggled over the years to find a good morning routine that will benefit me and I finally think I have found it!

When I wake up on the…

It has been so dang hot out lately! Especially over here in Arizona… where the weather is in the 100s.

So today, I thought I would share with you my Summer skincare essentials that help me get ready for those hot summer months!

Stand up for yourself and your morals…

Today’s post is going to be a bit more on the serious side.

This post was originally supposed to be a post about our trip up to Canyon Lake for my hubby’s birthday on June 23rd but things kind of turned upside down and we ended up leaving the lake early.

What lead me to write this post:

The weekend of the 23rd was supposed to be a fun birthday weekend for my husband and we had been waiting for…

What Your Acne Is Really Telling You│Face Mapping

ACNE SUCKS!

We all know it… we all get it…

Each area of your face can actually tell you why you are getting…

Q&A Relationship + Marriage Advice

We have been soooo busy this past week and a half with moving into our new house and just getting back from our honeymoon trip. I have never been so exhausted in my life especially since it is like over 100 degrees here in Arizona… so it is like the worst time to be moving.

Embrace Your Inner Beauty

Living in a world with a judgmental society, people feel the need to be perfect and live up to society’s standards.

How To Feel Good Without Makeup (Even With Acne!)│ Skincare Tips & More!

Of course, every girl wants to feel comfortable and beautiful in their natural skin, but it can be hard, especially when acne is involved. Society tends to look down on people who have imperfections and praises the people that have absolute perfect skin.

The Perfect Camping Trip│Forest Lakes, Arizona

Recently we just went on a trip up to Forest Lakes which is up just past Payson and now we have deemed it…

I am so excited to be writing this post because this is actually my first favorites/disappointments post!

I probably won’t do these every month because I don’t feel like I have a ton of new products each month to talk about and I do not want to ramble on about the same products each time (because that would be reallymajorly annoying)… but whenever I get a group of products during a month that I…
