Another Monday, another @bachelorabc episode that we hope is a sh*t show! 💕🍷🌹 How many more weeks do we think the producers are going to keep Queenie around? I can take about 2 more of her nonsense. Also, if you’re as obsessed with this show as I am, make sure you’re following @bachelordata! The stats she brings you after every show is FASCINATING! Me, my couch, and my wine will see y’all in a few minutes ❤️ #thebachelor 📸: @livinthemomentphoto

Sunday’s in the city 💛 Between work ramping up and packing my life up to move across the state, my motivation has been at an all time low. Not only have I not cared to style outfits, I haven’t really cared to be on my phone. Last night though I had this overwhelming want to get up, get dressed up, and head downtown to play in the street & have Heath fear for his life with traffic all around us (LOL JK 😂) But seriously, when I told him we were going in the middle of the street, he looked at me like I was crazy. This year I want to be more creative. I want to move, jump, run, throw my hands up, and not just give the “basic blogger pose” in every shot. I want to be more unique while staying true to myself. I hope this year you step out of your comfort zone with me ✨

Shine like gold, sparkle like glitter ✨ Happy New Year, everyone! I think I can confidently speak for the entire class when I say we’re beyond thrilled to see 2021. Normally I write a big blog post up reflecting on the past year, rounding up my favorite memories, things I accomplished, and what my resolutions will be for the next 365 days. This year I’m not. Looking back on my goals for 2020, it made me really defeated. To say I did not accomplish everything I wanted to was heartbreaking, that I wasn’t able to travel as much put me in a really bad mental space, and feeling very unmotivated as I moved backwards in some parts of my life. So for 2021 my goal is simple- each and every day I’m going to do 1 thing that makes me better. From exercising, drinking more water, be positive on tough days, or just remembering to smile at a stranger, each day I am going to be better. I hope within the next 365 you find peace, happiness, strength, and comfort. Happy 2021, y’all 💛 📸: @livinthemomentphoto

MY TOP 10 ✨ While finding out what my “Top 9” most liked posts were from 2020, only a few of them showed some of my genuinely favorite moments. 2020 was weird, unpredictable, and down right unfair at times- but through all of that, it had its moments. Here are mine. 1. My favorite shoot of the year. Heath and I drove up to Grand Rapids to shoot at this parking garage that had murals and colors on every angle! 2. I was lucky enough to take Heath to his first concert & it was our FAVORITE- Mr. @lukecombs! I surprised him with tickets for Christmas and made a whole event out of it! He still tells me it was the best night he’s ever had! 3. Heath & I were lucky enough to get to visit 3 zoos this year! The @cincinnatizoo, @johnballzoogr & @detroitzoo! Next year- were comin’ for you @sandiegozoo! 4. I was able to continue working with some of the most amazing brands like @kendrascott, @hudsonville_ic, @aveenous, @meijerstores & so many more! 5. Our road trip to Louisville was one I’ll never forget. Heath has mentioned he wanted to take a detour and we ended up swimming in these waterfalls in the Daniel Boone National Forest! 6. Speaking of National landmarks- we crossed our first national park off together- @mammothcavenps! 7. My 28th birthday. All I wanted was for my 2 families to finally meet. After almost a year of dating, nothing was more important to me. 8. I became an #LMPCreator and took the most beautiful photos with @livinthemomentphoto! 9. I was blessed enough to watch my beautiful niece grow up & be there for some of her biggest moments! 10. I was offered my dream job. It still feels like a dream but I hope I never wake up! Thank you for coming along on this crazy journey through 2020. Without your constant support it wouldn’t be possible! 2021 is gonna be a good one- I just know it 💛

Think pink 💕 I hope y’all had a holly jolly Christmas! Mine was extra lazy filled with plenty of naps, rewatching Home Alone 1 & 2, eating all the Christmas cookies my heart desired & of course those hilarious family games y’all saw on my story! I’m finally getting around to styling these amazing clay earrings from @lovehandandheart & I thought what better way than a pink monochromatic look! You can never have too many shades of pink 💗 Make sure to check her out, give her a follow & remember to #shopsmall all year long! 💓

“It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” Merry Christmas Eve, y’all! Whether you’re able to spend it together or alone, know you are loved. I hope you all find peace today, tomorrow, and every day moving forward ❤️ 📸: @livinthemomentphoto

Saturday’s are for the girls 💛 Mama C & I had ourselves a little girls day out all thanks to @paintbirmingham! Their newest location in the heart of Downtown Birmingham & what nail salon dreams are made of! Not only was their staff extremely friendly, we loved being in a non-toxic & fume free environment while enjoying products like @emmabeautyla that are vegan and cruelty free! Their team is taking extra precautions during these different times so don’t hesitate to book your appointment! 💅🏻

It’s been a whole year since I said my last “See you later, Meme. I love you.” It’s been a whole year since I last got to smell your Chantilly perfume on you. It’s been a whole year since I felt the warmth and softness in your hands. I honestly don’t know if it’s hit me yet. A whole year has gone by and I don’t think I’ve realized you’re not physically here with us. It’s probably because I still talk about you like you are. Some days are really good. I have my morning talks with you and fill you in on everything going on. I wear your jewelry to feel closer to you. I see things that remind me of you and they make me smile. Other days I’m numb. I’ll see something that reminds me of you and I run. Sometimes when someone brings you up I avoid it because I don’t want to cry. Some days I’m just in denial. I miss you more than you’ll ever know, Fred. How I’ve managed these last 365 days without is a mystery. But I know you’re never far. You’re always in my mind, in my heart, and surrounding me with your love. Thanks for keeping your promise of watching over us. Keep it up, girlfriend. See you later, Meme. I love you 💛
