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…

In our society it’s so rare to find people who genuinely love themselves. It’s much more common to be insecure than confident, which blows my mind. When you do see individuals who are expressive about their self-love they are often viewed as “cocky”, because we live in such a superficial world. We’re all addicted to…

I feel like this last year absolutely flew by. Actually no, the last 3 years have flown by. It’s funny, cause growing up I figured that people in their 20’s had their lives completely together. Like suddenly you hit 21 and you’re this grown, sophisticated, mature adult sipping dirty martini’s on a Friday night. I…

I had the coolest experience today. I decided to go on a run on this trail outside of my Dad’s house (for those of you who know me, you know I hate running so this is big) I turned on my “WERK” spotify playlist and took off in my bright blue shoes. About 5 minutes…

On Monday I challenged you guys to switch up your mindset this upcoming week. I suggested creating a vision board, and I was surprised by how many of you didn’t know exactly what that is! Your vision is essentially the same thing as your goals. It’s where you see yourself in the future, whether that’s…

Most days I wake my butt up bright and early (5:20am to be exact) to exercise before work. Getting a good sweat in at pilates and kickboxing at the crack of dawn makes me feel more accomplished, motivated, and alert for the rest of the day. And let’s face it…I like to workout before my…
