.that sparkle.

well you guys, here we are in 2017. doesn’t that just sound weird. it kind of bugs me how it’s usually like May before I grasp the fact that the year has changed – and before we know it – it’s changing again! 2016 was DEFINITELY a fast year for me. there was a lot going on and it overall was just a busy year. there were fun memories created and celebrating our sweet girl Navi everyday is just so much fun! but Nash and I working so much, him going back to school and the stresses of just day to day life got the best of me and I’ll be honest – I don’t think I was as happy as I could’ve been. I’ve never really been great at β€˜living in the moment’ I tend to look forward to the next best milestone or think β€˜when this passes, THEN I’ll be happy’ so my #1 goal this year is to live happier. have a better demeanor at home and BE the joy. the saying β€˜happy wife, happy life’ does bother me a little bit – but honestly there is a bit of truth – if the woman of the house is happy, then most often it’s easier for everyone else in the home to be happy too πŸ™‚ I mean this in the sense that as women, we set the tone for the day, our loved ones feed off our energy and we CAN make our days happy πŸ™‚ sorry I’m rambling a bit, but as I truly thought about resolutions I decided none others really mattered, working out, reading my scriptures, praying daily, they’re all great things to do daily and they do add to my happiness. I decided I’ll have like a weekly or monthly goal that will attribute to my β€˜happiness’ and I’m excited to see how it’s going to go, and see at the end of the year how I’ve changed and grown 

πŸ™‚ thank you for always being so supportive! I just adore you guys! and because I’m a busy lady πŸ˜‰ enjoy these pictures that are like a month old – haha, I meant to get this post up BEFORE the new year as outfit inspiration, but hey, you still could πŸ˜‰ 


this pretty look I wore to church the first sunday in december! and I remember that only because that’s when I taught my lesson in Relief Society and I had like -no voice- it was such bad timing. but honestly, I think having a tiny & raspy voice made it so that everyone had to listen really close, so the room was really quiet – and then the spirit could teach. I love lessons like that. 

you’ve seen me wear this skirt SO much lately, but that’s because it’s such a pretty one! I love how neutral yet sophisticated it is, and there’s an element of whimsy and fun because of the tiers and sparkly waistband πŸ™‚ if you can get your hands on this skirt – I say DO IT! you can see my other looks here and here styling the skirt in other ways πŸ™‚ my heels are a DIY from a few years back and have been a signature in my β€˜dressy’ heels ever since! they were SOOO easy to do and need to β€˜bedazzle’ another little something soon! 

I’m really excited for this year. I feel like I’m gaining back myself. not like I was lost or didn’t feel like I’ve been myself, I just haven’t been feeling like I could express myself or truly just BE ME – I thought I needed to be in this mold of what I thought the world wanted … I’m proud to say that I’m not cookie cutter – and I don’t want to be. I want to be me πŸ™‚ I hope to be a beacon and someone that you can relate to – I want us to feel like we’re friends and I’m not just β€˜some girl’ on the internet. I’m excited about my youtube channel and my plans for this year, to focus more on videos and quality content πŸ™‚ so thank you again for your love – I get so excited when I get to meet you and talk to you. I did a β€˜instagram live’ session the other day and it was so nice to just talk and answer your questions, I loved reading all the messages, even though I’ve never met so many – I honestly feel like we’re besties, like we’ve straight up grown up together and have been friends our whole lives. I love that connection. so thank you. thank you for showing me that there is hope in dreams coming true.


 2017 I’m ready for you.

lots of love …
