Holiday Cocktails & Mocktails You Need to Make

There’s something so fun and festive about making cocktails this time of year. I love finding creative recipes online and doing my best to recreate them for holiday parties, date nights in, or even just a random Tuesday. ;) I actually concocted my own holiday cocktail this year that turned out AMAZING — you may have seen me sharing it on my Instagram Reels. I had a blast coming up with…

How to Get Rid of Sunday Night Anxiety

If you’ve never experienced Sunday night anxiety, or The Sunday Scaries as my friends and I call them, you’re lucky. This post probably isn’t for you. But for the rest of us, the struggle is real, right? Three p.m. sets in on a Sunday afternoon and all of a sudden, the relaxing vibes of the weekend disappear almost instantly. You start thinking about the week, all the things you have…

How to Declutter Your Mind

Y’all may have noticed my random absences from social media or this blog over the past few months. I think I’ve been fairly open about it – the fact that I’m taking a few days away, shutting down tech, whatever – and I’ve gotten so much kind outreach from y’all. That response has really showed me two things 1. Y’all are the freakin’ BEST (truly, I appreciate it so much…

September Part 2

Good morning friends! Have I mentioned that I absolutely LOVE Snapchat? Sometimes I get a little distracted and forget to post on it, but when I do (and specifically when I’m able to interact with YOU), I’m continually reminded how much I love it. I feel like it’s the only place where I feel as if I can TRULY connect with you – albeit still in a digital way. There’s…

August iPhone Round Up + Upcoming Content + Questions For You

Hi friends! Wow has it been a crazy past few weeks! But then again, don't I say that every time?! I think it's safe to say that I like things a little crazy - keyword being "little". When I think about it, I'm pretty type-A in theory. But I think in reality (or from the outside looking in), my life and the way I do things is very much NOT type-A (or type-B for that matter lol - I'm more like a type-Z or type-K haha). There's something about the chaos that I love and keep coming back to - no matter how hard I try to run away, control or systemize the crazy. Are any of you like that? It's like, I love the idea of things being neat and in order. Until they are, and then I'm like...I'm bored - let's chat it up a bit! And then I push myself slash my life into that organized chaos territory. Am I making any sense lol? Anyway, moving on. Since I've been using my "BTD WEEKLY" series as a way of keeping you guys updated on what's been going on and coming up, I'm going to do the same for this one :)

August Updates + Instagram Lately

The past few weeks have been so all over the place. I feel like I haven't been as focused on work, but I think it's a good thing. Actually, it feels pretty stinkin' amazing. Granted, my instagram posts have kinda sucked (excuse my language), but I've been killin' it on the "life" front (lol I'm totes joking but kinda not too). I've been so "whatevs" about my social media and "getting things done" and have been more focused on living my life and investing in the present. And I've got to say, it's worth whatever consequences I might be experience or will experience as a result (since my job is in fact social media....sort of).

April Week 2

Have you noticed the new series? Every Monday you can count on an instagram round up including all my recent instgram posts with outfit details for each photo. I'll also do my best to include recent markdowns and any sales updates I've noticed over the past week as well!

Easy Black Sweater Dress

I love a good sweater dress – and I’ve been especially loving the sweater dress and blanket scarf combo lately.  Maybe it’s just me, but there’s just something about throwing on a sweater dress (or any simple/solid dress for that matter) that feels incomplete without some type of accessory. Anyone else agree? I feel like they just call for a necklace, vest, scarf or something…or else the outfit just looks unfinished.…

It’s Nice To Be Important…

It’s been WAY too long since I’ve posted a Typography Tuesday inspirational quote! Although I enjoy posting about fashion and such, my true passion is (believe it or not) learning. And despite the fact that my sans-fashion posts usually take longer and require a little more thought, I actually really look forward to sharing these insights with you all. Even though I sometimes get a little self conscious before pressing…

Perfect vs Good

Todays type Tuesday quote: “Don’t let the perfect be the evil of the good.” – a pretty good one, don’t you think? I’m sure that depending on the day, this could mean a number of things to me. But right now, it brings to mind the ever-so-dreadful experience that is writer’s block. I often have exciting and what-seem-to-maybe-be great ideas that get stuck between my brain and my fingers.

#BESTILLBEBRIGHT MOVEMENT

What is the #beSTILLbeBRIGHT movement? I've tried sitting down to write this little overview several times and haven't been able to finish. I try and sum up what I want to accomplish and simply can't do it! I end up just getting frustrated with "writer's block" and tell myself I'll come back to it later. But I'm putting my foot down! No more walking away. I think the reason why it's so hard to explain what I'm trying to do with this "movement" is because I can't really define it in words; and I honestly don't want it to be something that is easily definable. It's okay that this social media campaign or movement (or whatever you want to call it!) doesn't fit into a perfect, neat and tidy little box. Right? I hope that I can simply introduce you to the hashtag and that YOU all can run with it and make it into something more. All in all, though, the #beSTILLbeBRIGHT movement will hopefully become another way brightontheday (BTD) can engage, entertain, and inspire you on a daily basis.I hope to promote the importance of practicing daily, spiritual discipline [be still and know!] as well as encourage you to live a life of truth and light [let your light shine!]. I encourage you to use the hashtag to show other BTD readers how YOU motivate and discipline yourself to "be still" - what does your quiet time look like? How do you keep yourself motivated? And/or how do you hold yourself accountable? In addition to sharing your quiet time experiences with us, I hope that you will also feel inspired (and empowered!) to let your light shine - to live a LOUD life for Christ and to love as He loves all of us. Don't feel limited - use your creativity and make this movement what you want it to be (keeping in mind the big picture, of course!) I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

I love the light in her photos and her home seems quite cozy. She occasionally posts self portraits, which are just as pretty and entertaining. Enjoy a little sneak peak tour of…

ATTITUDES ARE CONTAGIOUS

So make sure you’re not infecting anyone with a negative attitude! It’s so easy to be negative….resist the urge to complain or think the worst. Negative energy spreads fast and can completely change the morale of an entire group. Remember my post from a few months ago “what you think about, you bring about” ? Remember this.  Do your best to think positive things and be optimistic. I promise it’ll pay off…

Type Tuesday: Admiration

Sounds strange at first. But think about it. The more you get to know someone or something, the more you see what makes that person or thing a part of this world. In other words, you start seeing more of the whole being or existence, rather than just a part. And thus, you become aware of flaws and imperfections. To put it simply, the closer you get, the less glamorous it…
