  • We are back from our honeymoon and wow was that vacation much needed! We did absolutely nothing but lounge around, walk the beaches and pathways, and eat delicious food . I used to be terrified of planes. Not afraid of them crashing because I know that’s super rare, but I just really can’t handle being trapped in a space that I can’t freely get out of. It’s a control thing really. Anyone else feel this way? . I had always wanted to travel though, so when Chris and I started dating, I made it my mission to become comfortable with flying because I wanted to experience new places with him. We’ve gone to different parts of Mexico every year for anniversaries since we’ve been together and flying doesn’t seem so scary anymore 🤗. . We stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach this time and oh wow!! What an amazing resort. It’s beautiful and the staff is amazing. Our room was incredible with its own swim out pool and a personal concierge, and we made friends with many kitties 😻. (Scroll to see some more pics!) We will be back for sure! . Now it’s back to reality and getting stuff done that had been put on hold due to all of the wedding planning (my gardens are literally overgrown in weeds!). I’m sad that it’s all over, but also crazy excited for this brand new chapter of life to begin!!!!!!! . #secretsmaromabeachresort #mexicotravel #doyoutravel #travelinggirl #travelinspo #wanderwithme #maromabeach #followmeto
  • In my wedding speech to Chris, I said how I’ve always been a believer in the idea that what’s meant to happen will happen. I’ve thought that way ever since I was young and that idea has never failed me in life . I really do believe that every chapter of our lives prepares us for what’s next. And even if we’ve had rough ones, there is always something better coming. Always. . If you’re going through a rough patch, just know that it will turn around. It will because it has to... that’s the way life works. You’re meant to learn something valuable from those experiences, and once you do, better times are ahead . #wordsofaffirmation #quotestoinspire #trusttheprocess #dailyreminders #inspireddaily #lifequotestoliveby
  • Make a wish 🌾✨ . Mine already came true. This Friday was the most magical and most perfect day ever . We couldn’t have asked for better weather and better people... and literally everything went so smoothly it was a dream . I’ve already shared some of the day in my Wedding highlight, but these shots from the incredible @francesbeattyphoto made my jaw drop and I had to share . I’ve received so many loving messages from you guys and my heart has never felt so full . We are off tomorrow for our honeymoon and some much needed relaxation as newlyweds. See you then :) . .

  • Take your time. There’s no rush to accomplish something. If you could only see what goes on behind the scenes of some of the people you follow or look up to, you’d realize that behind every success is a handful of failures. Remember that 🤓
  • Decor everywhere. With only a week and a few days to go until this wedding, we’ve been scrambling to check all of the final things off our list of tasks. I’ve made so many things already and more last minute projects keep popping up but I’m not stressing... it will get done. I just can’t believe it’s all happening so soon!!!! If my married friends have any final tips for the wedding day, I’d love to hear them ❤️. Until then, I’ll be over here with my glue gun and scissors.
  • Truth: I actually love going to the gym. I started going over 3 years ago and have been pretty consistent give or take a few off months (slacker). . I don’t just go to get stronger physically, but it has helped my mental strength so much, especially when dealing with anxiety. Exercising is proven to be SO beneficial to mental health and if you haven’t tried fitting a workout into your daily routine, i would highly recommend trying it . Experiment and find something that works for you and that you actually enjoy doing and it will come easily. For example, I’m soooo not a cardio bunny. I actually hate cardio and the thought of it puts me in a bad mood. And Burpees?! Hell no. Instead i spend most of my time on weight and strength training... something I enjoy because I love the challenge of increasing my strength . 3 years prior, I couldn’t leave my house without having a panic attack. The thought of even going to the gym was not possible. But I pushed myself, signed up, and did it. The first few times were super short and uncomfortable but as it became more of a routine, I became comfortable with going. Push yourself... you might be surprised at what your can actually accomplish . Do you exercise regularly? What are your favourite things to do and why do you do them?
