I’m so thrilled to be the Maid of Honor (or technically Matron of Honor!) for my sister’s wedding! She’s chosen silver for the bridesmaids, and the best part? We get to pick our own dresses! I’ve been scouring for the perfect look, and this list includes all the silver stunners I’m considering. The wedding is set in Nashville, complete with white florals and disco balls, so you know it’s going to be a party. Time to bring the sparkle and the fun—I can’t wait!

Here’s everything I’ve purchased and plan to use in 2025 to help me achieve my goals! I’m focused on growing my business, boosting my productivity, and getting fitter. Some of these tools were incredibly helpful in 2024, and I’m excited to continue using them, while others are new additions I’m eager to try. I’m hopeful that these resources will keep me organized and motivated as I work toward a year of growth, progress, and success in every area of my life!

I think cleaning should be easy and rewarding when you’re done! That means I buy products that actually work along with the right tools (on a budget of course) and everything HAS to smell good!

All of these items are either items I gifted to myself or were gifted to me by someone else! I get daily use out of most of these items- other's I'm saving for special occassions!

As a beginner reseller, I understand how hard it can be to get started! Here all the items I use as a reseller to list my items on second hand platforms. I resell on the side of my full time 9-5 job. These websites and items make it easy to do in my free time!To get started reselling, I would recommend finding items around your house you no longer want. That is how I got money to invest back into more inventory from second hand shops. It is really self explainatory from there! The more time you spend researching an item and pricing it right, the more you will sell. I invest about half of my earnings back into inventory as a beginner. I hope to lower that amount once I have built up some stock and sold my larger investments.

I really am not a ready and probably read 2-3 books a year. I know, I should read more but TikTok has my heart. These are my all time favorite books that I have read that I just couldn't put down. For me to read a book it really has to draw me in, and these ones certainly did the trick! I do have a slight obsession with historical romances. All links are from Thrift Books, an online second hand book store. I order from here pretty much every time I need a new book and have never had an issue. Very reasonable prices and the change to earn rewards!

These are the songs I've been loving for 2023 and will continue to listen well into 2024! I am mainly a country music fan, but I do love other genres with upbeat vibes. I like to feel positive when listening to music, but I do enjoy a slow song here and there! These songs are listed from absolute favorite to favorites in each category.

While I am already married, I enjoy planning wedding themes just for fun! Valentine's day is the most romantic day of the year, or so they say, so why not get married that day? It is a Wednesday this year, but a friday in 2025! Why not plan ahead and take inspiration for a super sweet wedding day.

Here's everything I recommend every dog mom have! I am not a specialist nor vet. This is what works for me and my fur babies! I have a Shi Tzu named Daisy and a Yorkie Poo Mutt named Rex.

Hendersonville is a charming town located about 30 minutes north of Nashville, and it’s been such a fun adventure since my husband and I moved here in May 2024. We’ve loved exploring all the amazing restaurants and bars in the area, making every date night an exciting culinary experience. My sister lives nearby too, so we’ve had plenty of fun girls’ nights together. It’s been such a great way to settle into our new home and make the most of everything this area has to offer!

Two weeks ago, I took advantage of Walmart’s early Black Friday specials and purchased several items during the sale. Surprisingly, I noticed that all of these items are still being offered at the same price now, which makes me feel like I got a great deal without the pressure of last-minute shopping. I wanted to take some time to share my thoughts on these purchases, explain why I decided to buy each item, and let you know whether I think they were truly worth it. Whether you're considering these products or just curious about my experience, I hope my insights will help you make informed decisions!
