Personal: How I Planned My Micro/Intimate Wedding

*Photo by Into the Aisle

Hello! So earlier this week, I got MARRIED. What a massive word to even type! It was the 11 year anniversary of when we had started dating and exactly one year since our engagement. I know when I first got engaged it was a bit overwhelming. I did not really know where to start. When I first posted on social about the wedding there was definitely some interest in the planning process. I hope for all the brides/grooms to be, this post can be of some help!

Hello there! It’s been a while since I wrote a more personal post. The last month or so has been a bit of a whirlwind and I’ve just really wanted to get my thoughts down on it all.

After this post and knowing our history with cats (you can read my 2019 post on our cats), you’ll be saying, wow, she really knows how to pick ’em…

2019, Year of the Cat: Adopting, Integrating, Losing

Hi All! This will be a much different post than my usual offering. Not that I don’t have a few posts that need attending too, but I’ve been looking to do this for awhile. My last post was some time ago, late November. The next day after that post was published, we unfortunately lost one of our cats, Pebble. 2019 has been a bit of a whirlwind. We adopted two cats, got used to living with them, then unfortunately lost one. This post will outline the journey that we’ve had as it’s been pretty much the majority of 2019.

Personal: Nostalgic Makeup With Personal Stories

I thought I would do something a bit different for today’s post. It’s funny how inanimate objects can hold such memories. I feel like makeup has a very special way of doing this based on wearing it for special events or for us beauty lovers, just having it in your collection at a certain time. I have five products that have a special story behind them. Hope this is a way for you to get to know me a bit better as well!

Hello friends! I’ve been a bit MIA lately, but I think I had a pretty good reason!
