Photos by: Amanda Elle I’m not good at sitting still. And even when I do, my mind is constantly on a subject that I think needs my urgent attention. I know I’ve given advice about relaxing and taking care of yourself, but the truth is, I’m the one that needs to take my own advice. Even when I attend events I’m always trying to be strategic. I think about who should I talk (usually I try to find the PR person that invited me). I also like to talk to blogger’s I haven’t met in person before and think about…
We all know life isn’t just the pretty pictures we see on Instagram. So, I thought it would be great to share some real life things about me! I’m sticking to ten today that I get asked the most about. 10 things about me that I bet you didn’t know… I’m an only child. Yep, just me! Most people find it hard to believe because I don’t have any of the negative traits associated with being an only child. Although, I’ll admit, I hate sharing! Sports. I grew up doing competition cheerleading and gymnastics (floor tumbling specifically). I stopped when I…
Girl Power Tee c/o Emax Tees I never felt that because I was a girl, there were certain things I shouldn’t do. When I was five years old I took down part of the child gate in my kitchen with a screwdriver after watching my dad take down the other one. He didn’t say, girls don’t do that. In fact I think he was so impressed he encouraged me to take the entire thing off! HA! Or how about “only men take out the garbage?” When I worked at CVS when I was sixteen, I had to take out the…
Add to cart. These 4 beauty brands are my absolute favorites. As you’re shopping the last week of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale you HAVE to try these. Here’s why… La Prairie skin caviar If you follow me on Instagram stories, you know I die for this stuff. It is an instant skin smoother and face hydrator. Even when I’ve had a bit too much wine the night before, I massage this stuff into my skin and in an instant, I’m a brand new woman. Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad Keep your face out of the sun and massage these…
Bag c/o Save my Bag We’ve all metaphorically felt the heat at least once in our lives. Or if you’re like me, quite often. Whether it’s been work, school, money, family or my blog, I’ve definitely felt the pressure. And a lot of it originates from me. So, how to we deal with stress that can come from all different directions? As someone who can almost magically stress herself out about a n y t h i n g, I’m no stranger to stress. First, I think a little stress is important in your life. If channeled correctly, stress can…
Click the “+” sign next to each image to shop! Shoes, handbags, sunglasses and more! That’s my kind of sale. One of my favorite things about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is that it’s one of the longest sales out there. Personally, I try to justify everything I buy [it takes time] so I don’t like weekend only sales. Even though I miss some items on the NSALE from all the over analyzing I do, I’m still able to grab a few great items. Check out my Nordstrom Sale clothing edit HERE and my beauty edit HERE.
