Summer Life - 7/26/17

A Special Message For A Special Place - 7/26/17

Today, my camp buddies came back from camp & I surprised them & they were all so thrilled to see me. This was such a hard thing for me because the decision not to go in the first place was such a hard decision but I had to do what's best for me & the best thing for me was to not go in the first place.

My first year at the camp was in 2008 when I was 11 years old. My mom basically forced me & my sister to go because she thought it would be a fun experience for us. The second I walked into that place I had never had so much fun & met so many kind-hearted amazing people. Many people don't know this but Camp Hearty is a camp for kids with heart problems & to meet people who have heart problems like me definitely made me feel like I was at home.

I continued going to the camp from age 11-19. If someone had told me I would have been going for as long as I did when I was 11 I would not have believed you. This camp has changed my life & it has been the highlight of my summers for years. I'm blessed & thankful I have 9 years worth of amazing memories I will cherish forever.

Going back & seeing everyone today almost reminded me of going to a high school football game after you have graduated high school. It was a weird weird feeling. Growing up is a weird weird feeling. I'm not going to lie I was pretty sad the past 4 days from not being there but now that I think about it I thank god my journey ended at that camp when it did.

I'm ready to close this beautiful chapter in my life & move on. Thank you so much Camp Hearty for growing up with me & impacting my life in such a beautiful way. It has inspired me that I wanna inspire others & be an inspiration for someone special someday. Thanks Camp Hearty for making me the confident person I am today & for teaching me to face my fears & be adventurous. Thank you for everything you've done.

 8 Years of Content Creating. I haven't celebrated a blogging anniversary in a really long time, but I was looking back on when I started this blog and how long it has been, it absolutely blew my mind. I wish I could tell that lonely & confused 19-year-old me that at almost 28 years old, she is living most of the content creating dream she has always wanted.

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City Hey guys! Today we will be doing a fashion themed post & today's theme is making fall fashion cute but if you live in a southern coastal city where it is still 90 degrees outside. I feel like there is not enough recognition for coastal falls, especially in fashion so today, we are going to get realistic about fall fashion while it is still 90 degrees outside. Neutrals Go with EVERYTHING! No matter if you are doing a tank top and shorts look or even a sweater with jeans (if you risk being sweaty after the fact), neutrals are a GO TO for every season but mostly for fall. Lean towards your black, white, & even like an oatmeal type of neutral colored clothing & focus on those when building your coastal fall wardrobe. Neutral Outfit Inspo from Pinterest Tube Tops with Light Cardigans Whether you are wearing the tube top with shorts or jeans, if you really want to channel that fall look or even if you are going somewhere indoors wher...

How 2025 Became My Best Year Yet & 26 Goals for 2026 Outfit Details: Top: Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts: Nordstrom Hey guys! I know I have been MIA from the blog for a while (most of the year actually) but I went MIA for very good reasons!  2025 has been full of blessings and amazing memories. As we start goal setting for 2026, I want to recap how 2025 became my best year yet and how going into 2026, I am feeling such a fresh mindset and this positive momentum we had in 2025 will in fact continue in 2026. I want to continue to be a positive force within not only myself but also for the people around me as well. 2025 became the year I have been longing for since I stepped into this crazy world of adulthood at 18 years old and that is, working full time in marketing/social media. Within the company I have worked for the past 2 1/2 years, this past June I switched departments from Membership/Recruitment to full on Marketing which if you have been following me for a while has been...
