Nothing makes me feel more confident then when I have clear, glowing skin. Truth be told, I struggled with my skin throughout most of my teenage years. My mom started me on a full Clinique regimen when I was in middle school, and since then I’ve experimented with countless products to manage any redness or…

Every year I, like many of you, write down resolutions. The No. 1 thing on my list in 2018 is to get healthy both mentally and physically. I realize mental health isn’t something most people like to discuss, especially with strangers on the internet. But hey, I created this blog so I can be real…

Exactly 1 year ago Brendan and I booked a one-way ticket to New York City. We didn’t have a plan, we just knew that we wanted a change. I’ve dreamt of modeling in NYC since I was a little girl, but after the pageant I chose to put my dreams on hold, finish my last…

However, one morning my senior year of high school I woke up sick as can…

It’s been a hot minute since I was active on my blog, so I’ve decided it’s time to open up about why I’ve been MIA. I’m about to get a little deep here, bear with me… My health has been an ongoing battle for me, one that I made very public during my reign as…

Earlier this week I saw two awesome videos of young children giving themselves positive affirmations in the morning, and I had to share my thoughts. The first one is a little girl screaming at herself in the mirror about how great her life is. It’s funny & adorable, I instantly thought of my little sister Courtney, she’d…
