I had only worked with one boutique as a paid collaboration, but I knew that I wanted to create partnerships with the women in the same niche so that I could learn from them and together we could educate the businesses that we wanted to serve. I knew I needed to prioritize my time and attention to my family, my kids, my full time job, and my blogging/social media gig. Some people want to share with you vague information about something that may or may not have been said so that you can worry about it and analyze all of your actions and activities so that you no longer focus on doing great things.

I thought about the last time I published a “gift guide” and realized that it’s honestly because the internet is flooded with them and they give me major anxiety.

What says Valentine’s Day like a heart-shaped tea cake? This encouraging book, written by Emily Moore and illustrated by local artist, Kristen Ley is a beauty for any coffee table, bookshelf, and girlfriend.

Being a fashion style “influencer” has been fun this last year; but there’s a lot of pressure to be the best, the most on-trend, have the best content, be in the spotlight of everything and everyone and on top of always spending money on things that are really unnecessary to wear for one photo – its exhausting! They laugh about all they wear are the same black leggings and tunic sweater or sweatshirt everyday, because most are work-from-home moms or stay-at-home moms. I asked my girlfriend and professional stylist, Rachel Williams, to help me curate a capsule wardrobe for the coming year and instead of adding a ton of trendy items every month, I would select two or three investment pieces for each season and share with my followers and readers how to do the same. For instance, this month I want to share how I style one of my favorite additions to any outfit – a high quality black faux leather (or real leather) moto jacket.

a choice of “cocktail” infusions that can help with a host of symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, fatigue, immunity support and can boost your bodies ability to fight hangovers and migraines. Laurie also mentioned that they had taken great efforts to ensure that the experience was serene and spa-like with cozy reclining chaise loungers in a relaxing, zen-inspired atmosphere. I filled out some intake forms and was taken back to get some minor bloodwork/urine test to ensure that I was in overall good health to be able to feel the best effects from the infusion. I felt like it was a great way to jumpstart feeling great for the new year
