4 Benefits of Waking Up Slowly and How to Actually Do It

I’m not sure if it’s all the travel I’ve been doing this summer or maybe I’ve been trying to do too much in general, but I’ve been waking up so darn tired lately.

5 Things I’m OK Learning to Be OK With As an Adult

If I’ve learned anything these last few years of my 20s (yes, I’m turning 30 soon!), it’s that we are all truly on our own journey and life is going to look different for everyone. And you know what?

6 Dresses Under $40 On Amazon

We had a rainy Wednesday here in Dallas and it put me in the biggest fall-weather mood. I wanted to run around lighting all the candles, throw on a cardigan and snuggle up with a blanket on the couch (which I normally do on summer days, too LOL). Anyone else just itching for fall to arrive? I got inspired by the cooler weather (even if it was only one day…

3 Things I’ve Learned About Working Out Lately

Since college, I’ve had an ‘all or nothing’ relationship with working out. Growing up I was super active (like most of us are) and I even cheered throughout college so movement was easy – something I just did. But as an adult, I feel like there’s this huge lack of motivation that comes with working out. And maybe it’s because of the pressure we start putting on it. It becomes…
