Life Update: Moving, Future Planning, and Goal Setting

Happy Wednesday friends!

This week I wanted to share a life update and talk about a few things here that I’m super excited about!

First off Travis and I are getting ready to move…again! Yes you might recall we made a move last November and not even a year later we are moving again, this time only about 20 minutes away so not a big deal. We received an amazing opportunity we couldn’t pass up and are super excited for a bigger space and new place (hopefully the last new place before a house). I’ll be sharing more décor posts and home things on the blog as this place we will be replacing a lot of furniture and different things that would come with us to a house.

This move is going to allow us to hopefully start preparing for buying a house soon so we are doing everything we can to really prepare and set ourselves up for success when we finally decide to purchase a home. The market is super crazy right now so we are holding off for now.

Finally I’m working on some major goal setting and working on those goals before my 30th birthday at the end of the year. Some of those goals include working on my health, bettering my business, and really preparing to start my 30’s off right.

Hope y’all have an amazing rest of your week and I’ll see you soon!

Michigan Trip

Happy Wednesday friends!

We just got back from Michigan and I wanted to share some of the fun things we did and restaurants we went to!

This is my first trip out of state since the pandemic and I was a little anxious but everything went fine travel wise. This is a trip we usually make twice a year and hadn’t been in almost a year and a half due to everything going on.

This trip was mostly to see family so when we weren’t visiting family and hanging out we did a few fun activities and went to a few yummy restaurants that are definitely worth mentioning!

First off if you are in the Saugatuck, MI area I would definitely check out The Summerhouse Lavender Garden. This is a beautiful photo worthy spot and just super cute and peaceful! Highly recommend! There is also a wild flower field at Pleasant Hill Farm in Fennville not far as well which is super cute and great to take photos!

Next up we tried some new yummy food spots that I would highly recommend! Root Cafe in Fennville was a great spot for a delicious sandwich and fun art from local artists. Also The Farmhouse Deli in Douglas had amazing food, including salads, soup, baked goods, and sandwiches. I would also recommend checking out Isabel’s Market Eatery in Douglas and local to South Haven I would recommend the Taste and Maria’s great restaurants there! Of course a must have in South Haven is also Sherman’s Ice Cream, make sure to hit this spot for dessert a few times while you visit!

Finally make sure to take advantage of the amazing summer weather in Michigan and get outside! We spent so much time outside it was nice and peaceful! Catch all the sunsets and enjoy a walk outside! Enjoy the flowers and all the colors because there is seriously nothing like it!

Social Media Consultant-Breaking It Down

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’ve recently been asked how exactly I help my clients with social media. Well I big part of what I do is help my clients with content creation. This could include photos, videos, reels, and more.

Now yes we all want more followers and engagement but at the end of the day the thing that attracts people and gets the followers and the likes is quality content. Without it you won’t be able to attract your ideal client.

As this has been a hot topic in my inbox I wanted to address that here. I’m a social media consultant and that entails many things and different things for each client. Content of course is a huge part, along with branding and what the client wants their social media and brand to look like, along with many other things.

My Summer Essentials

It’s officially summer, so what better way to kick off my favorite season than to share my summer essentials!

I have so many favorites but to name a few: I absolutely love the Tula sunscreen I use it everyday and love that it is a gel like consistency which looks great with or without makeup! Next up Old Navy sandals the ones pictured are my favorites, I have them in every color and they are a staple for me! The next things hats and dresses from LC Lauren Conrad. Now it’s no secret that LC Lauren Conrad pieces are my absolute favorites but in the summer time I wear tons of dresses and love them paired with a hat and hers are my favorites! Fourth thing has to be Tarte Cosmetics the brand makes up a lot of my makeup bag and their blush and mascara are a must not matter if I’m doing a full face or just a 5 minute face. Finally a swimsuit from Artesands, their pieces are curve friendly and the most support cute suits ever! They are an investment but worth it!

I have some travel scheduled and you better believe all these things are coming with me! What are some of your summer essentials? Let me know!

The Perfect Dress For Any Occasion

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share a great dress to have in your closet for really an occasion. This piece from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s is perfect for shopping, brunch, and any kind of event, a birthday lunch, a bridal shower, or anything like that. The fabric and soft print make it perfect for all those things.

It’s super easy to make this more casual with a sandal and straw bag or dress it up with a wedge or a heel with a quilted more lux bag it super versatile!

What is a must have dress for you in your closet?

My Summer Uniform

Happy Wednesday friends!

Y’all know summer is my favorite season! This outfit is my summer uniform; a light weight dress, easy sandals and a hat is literally the perfect look for a Florida summer. Basically all I wear in the summer next to swimwear, shorts and t-shirts.

This whole look is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and super affordable. The whole look is under $50 and easy to wear everywhere this summer! I hope y’all love it.

We are working on summer plans and I would love to know what you all are planning for the summer. Are you traveling? Where are you going? Let me know in the comments!

Summer Is Coming!

Happy Wednesday friends!

Is anyone else ready for summer time? It might be silly a Florida girl who loves summer time, because yes it’s hot and also rainy in the afternoons but there has always been something magical about summer time for me! I love the summer trips, the energy of summer, the long days and beach time. It’s when Florida belongs to the locals again and the snow birds have gone home, it’s just the best time!

I’m also excited to have a summer working for myself so I can work from anywhere and really spend some time at the pool and outside! With that being said I’m taking on 2 more client for the month of June to help with social media marketing and management!

I also included several pieces I loved on my mood board post a few weeks ago! I tend to refresh pieces and accessories in my home throughout the year and furniture isn’t as often depending and how old it is. Having new fresh pieces in the home though really makes a difference in mood and vibe of the place. I can’t recommend AllModern enough for all your decorating and furniture needs even down to rugs and accessories they have everything for every style and at an affordable price, which we love!

How I Was Able To Quit My Job

Happy Wednesday friends!

I have something special coming back to Lifestyle with Laramie tomorrow and I wanted to take this time to talk about how I was able to quit my job last year. We are coming up on almost 8 months since I left my 9-5 desk job and it’s still unreal!

I wanted to talk about how I was able to quit my job as it was a off the cuff decision even though I had been thinking about it for a while before. The long and the short of it is I started building a blog that was able to support me through brand partnerships, content creator, and educating others. Without my blog I would have never been able to leave my job. My blogging platform on my website has allowed me to connect with my audience as well as brands.

How To Instantly Save Time On Social Media

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share a common theme I’ve found while talking to several people lately. When it comes to social media they say they are constantly wasting time. I get it! We are all on social media a lot of the time whether you are checking you Instagram or sharing something on Facebook a lot of us use social media every single day! That being said for those of you that specifically use social media for your business, hobby, or anything of the sort it’s easy to get caught up and not be intentional with your posting and waste time.

Over the last year I’ve come up with my own system that has saved me tons of time when it comes to posting on social media and showing up for my audience and you can do that too! Especially if you are just starting out and can’t outsource your social media yet, these tools with help you save time and show up the best way you can for your people!

Tomorrow 4/8 at 6pm EST I’ll be hosting a Facebook LIVE training for you and sharing how I go about content management and planning for my social accounts and how it’s made a difference for me. Click HERE to join the Facebook group for tomorrow’s training!
