.that sparkle.
well you guys, here we are in 2017. doesnβt that just sound weird. it kind of bugs me how itβs usually like May before I grasp the fact that the year has changed β and before we know it β itβs 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 Iβll be honest β I donβt think I was as happy as I couldβve been. Iβve never really been great at βliving in the momentβ I tend to look forward to the next best milestone or think βwhen this passes, THEN Iβll be happyβ so my #1 goal this year is to live happier. have a better demeanor at home and BE the joy. the saying βhappy wife, happy lifeβ does bother me a little bit β but honestly there is a bit of truth β if the woman of the house is happy, then most often itβs easier for everyone else in the home to be happy too 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
sorry Iβm rambling a bit, but as I truly thought about resolutions I decided none others really mattered, working out, reading my scriptures, praying daily, theyβre all great things to do daily and they do add to my happiness. I decided Iβll have like a weekly or monthly goal that will attribute to my βhappinessβ and Iβm excited to see how itβs going to go, and see at the end of the year how Iβve changed and grown
thank you for always being so supportive! I just adore you guys! and because Iβm a busy lady
enjoy these pictures that are like a month old β haha, I meant to get this post up BEFORE the new year as outfit inspiration, but hey, you still could
this pretty look I wore to church the first sunday in december! and I remember that only because thatβs 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 β and then the spirit could teach. I love lessons like that.
youβve seen me wear this skirt SO much lately, but thatβs because itβs such a pretty one! I love how neutral yet sophisticated it is, and thereβs an element of whimsy and fun because of the tiers and sparkly waistband if you can get your hands on this skirt β I say DO IT! you can see my other looks here and here styling the skirt in other ways
my heels are a DIY from a few years back and have been a signature in my βdressyβ heels ever since! they were SOOO easy to do and need to βbedazzleβ another little something soon!
Iβm really excited for this year. I feel like Iβm gaining back myself. not like I was lost or didnβt feel like Iβve been myself, I just havenβt been feeling like I could express myself or truly just BE ME β I thought I needed to be in this mold of what I thought the world wanted β¦ Iβm proud to say that Iβm not cookie cutter β and I donβt want to be. I want to be me I hope to be a beacon and someone that you can relate to β I want us to feel like weβre friends and Iβm not just βsome girlβ on the internet. Iβm excited about my youtube channel and my plans for this year, to focus more on videos and quality content
so thank you again for your love β I get so excited when I get to meet you and talk to you. I did a βinstagram liveβ session the other day and it was so nice to just talk and answer your questions, I loved reading all the messages, even though Iβve never met so many β I honestly feel like weβre besties, like weβve 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 Iβm ready for you.
lots of love β¦
