Happy V-Day. I know this day can be hard and, honestly, just sucks sometimes. Life happens and it’s not always sunshine and candy hearts. Last year was one of those kinds of years for me and this year has brought its own unique bag of challenges as well.

Hi ! I hope you’re having a beautiful week and are taking some time each day to help yourself relax and unwind. I haven’t been blogging much lately because I’ve been working on some really exciting projects

In Iceland during the summer it stays light for almost 24 hours. This shoot was super unplanned. Aaron and I were going for a drive at, literally, 2 am when he decided to pull over to get some shots.

I’m definitely not the poster child for the perfect body or workout. For example, this weekend I pigged out on pizza and watched scary movies with my bestie. IT WAS AWESOME!

Aaron and I recently went to California for work and it was amazing. The smell of the ocean always seems to be the perfect recipe for blissful happiness for me. We started in San Diego (it was my first time there and I absolutely LOVED it)  and then went on little road trip to LA.

Looking forward to getting together with some of my dearest friends for New Years Eye this year! Sometimes there is simply nothing better than enjoying some bubbly with your nearest and dearest around. In anticipation for the festivities, I recently partnered with BHLDN to model some dresses for New Years!

Bare.
Bare.

Truth time: I hate wearing makeup. It feels cakey to me and just gross. Don’t get me wrong, I love it when I get my makeup done and I’m looking all glam, but, when I do my own makeup, I have zero talent.

It’s the start of a new week! I have been burning the midnight oil on some really exciting projects I can’t wait to tell you guys about soon! Also I’m dreaming up some travel plans for the rest of the year that I can’t wait to share with you guys as well.

A Very Mini Iceland Guide.

Ugg. This week. This freaking year. It hasn't been always easy or fun thats for sure. A highlight though so far has been our recent trip to Iceland. We made a short film there that I am pretty proud of and can't wait to share.

Saint James Paris

Looking back at 2017 has been so fun! We did my favorite thing in the world: travel! Our most recent trip was a return to Paris and Iceland (Where we were engaged and married!). More on Iceland later, but for now I want to focus on our stay in Paris. It was extra special thanks to the wonderful hotel, Saint James Paris Relais & Chateaux.

Villa des Orangers

Our recent trip to Morocco was nothing short of surreal. I loved exploring all the sights and smells this marvelous country had to offer. We found ourselves getting lost in the medinas and markets, eating all the different delicious tagines.

the most yummy veggie burger.

It’s tough to find food that is fast to prepare and healthy. In fact, this is one of the first times I’ve seen the words fast and healthy in the same sentence! That’s why I was so amazed when I came across Hilary’s Eat Well. 

Spicy Sweet Potato Pasta

Pasta is one of my favorite things ever. This is why I partnered with the kind folks at KitchenAid to create a healthy spin on my go-to favorite. I am sharing my recipe for Spicy Sweet Potato Pasta. I used the KitchenAid 5 Blade Spiralizer to...

Girl Power.
Girl Power.

I have always been a girl’s girl. I liked to dress up when I was younger, play house, and use my imagination. My girlfriends and I envisioned our dream lives. We acted out plays and made fake music videos on a VHS recorder (Avril Laverne was our favorite). 

Temporary Crazy

Last week (and this week) was a doozy . I was overwhelmed with my workload. I ended up having a few panic attacks. This is not cool, but, unfortunately,  it’s very real for me.

I used to think freedom was escaping my hometown. Getting out of the cornfield and into the mean city streets. Now. I’m a bit sad. What freedom had meant to me for all those years has changed.

I hope you guys are having a great weekend! Just got back from traveling all last week and it feels so good to be home.  Currently making lists of things I need to do in the upcoming weeks and eating a doughnut.

My Surf-Inspired Office Redo.

My office space was in desperate need of a little re-vamp this Spring. I so badly want to be inspired and uplifted while I'm working. In the midst of redoing my office space I developed some tips on how to refresh any office space.

My bedroom is my haven. I like to keep the room  fresh and clean. I want it to feel airy and light. Doesn’t everyone want to float on a cloud when they go to bed ?
