Getting back into the swing of things...

One of my biggest flaws is that I am an over-achiever. More like an over-committer. I like doing it all, and doing it all RIGHT NOW. I don't like saying "no" to things or putting projects on the back burner. I'd like to think I can get it all done but life has hit me smack dab in my face over the last few months and I've had to learn a hard lesson.

I watched a training video for my skincare business the other day and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  

"Don't let anyone tell you that you can't have it all. You CAN have it all; you just can't have it at the same time." 

 I  realized that there was no possible way that I could be in yoga teacher training five days a week, spend the time and attention needed to grow my skincare business, adjust to my new home, nurture new friendships, invest in my marriage, and spend the hours needed to blog it all at the same time. Something had to give, and it was this blog, for a season. Dreaming this blog into fruition has been such a fun creative process for me and I have so many future plans for it. Plans to share travels, beauty, fashion, food, and the more serious things like marriage, friendships, faith, and work.

I have big plans and lots of fun content to share this summer, I can't wait! For now, enjoy this moody playlist that has been making me feel all the summer-time reflective feels.

Speak soon!

Turtle-ing Around

The past couple of weekends have been spent around the house, organizing, making furniture, and really settling in to our new home. This weekend, we decided to make the most of it and we had such an amazing time exploring the nature right outside our home! We drove 5 minutes away to surf this morning and despite the poor wave forecast, we caught some great waves! I am still a total beginner but I am enjoying learning the process of paddling, waiting, and feeling out the waves. 

After surfing, we headed home to make a quick acai smoothie and then walked to the beach to go snorkeling! We feel so blessed that some of the islands best snorkeling (and sea turtle sightings) is right in our neighborhood! I recently got water housing for my iPhone and so all of these photos are taken from my iPhone 7! How cool is that?! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am super excited about all the new content coming to the blog this week and so make sure you keep checking back!
