My Why
Hi there and welcome to my blog!
This blog is something I’ve been thinking about for months now. If you know me, you know I thrive on creativity in my everyday life whether that’s home décor, new outfits, meals or even designing gift boxes for my friends. So why now… Well I’m almost out of house projects.. just kidding but really 2020 started off like any other year. I had recently landed a new job that combined my love for event planning and creativity. A year full of exciting events like my bridal shower, bachelorette party and marrying the love of my life (Hi Collin!). I felt on top of the world entering 2020 which I proclaimed to be “the best year yet” in my 2019 new years eve post. Well, all of that came crashing down in March when the pandemic took over. Like so many people I found myself working remote, filling my days with Tiger King and other Netflix documentaries, and more bottles of red wine than I would like to admit. Not too long after that, I was laid off. Just three short months after getting my dream job. I was angry, confused, and quite honestly terrified. Loosing your job along with millions of others during a pandemic is not exactly how I saw my year going. Like so many others, I found myself reflecting on what I wanted in life. It felt like a bad breakup having to leave the industry I’ve worked in the past five year and developed a passion for. I thought about starting this blog but over the years, I have developed a love/hate relationship with the internet. It can be quite terrifying showing your life to a bunch of strangers on the internet but I have also been inspired by the people I follow on Instagram to show your filter-free life. While I love to get dressed up, shop, or show the highlights of my life, I also think it’s extremely important to open up about the bad parts too. I think about future generations and growing up with this unrealistic picture of what someone’s life should look like because that’s what they saw on social media. After talking to my family and friends, I decided to just go for it because there will never be a right time and for the first time in months, I started creating and designing again. I’ve been creating excuses for months but if I’ve learned anything from 2020... it’s that you have NO idea what’s going to happen next year, next month or even next week. So with that, welcome to my blog! While I am terrified and excited all at the same time, I hope you enjoy my posts and find inspiration to do what makes YOU happy!
