If social media (specifically Instagram) and I had a relationship status it’d fall under ‘It’s complicated’. In the beginning, as with most new relationships – we were all about each other. I was intent on engaging with others which helped me rack up followers, connect with like-minded people, and slowly gain the coveted title of

How My 2nd Pregnancy is Different So Far
They say every pregnancy is different. And “they” couldn’t be more right. At least as it pertains to me and my 2nd pregnancy. I’m officially at the halfway point – 20 weeks baby! And it’s slightly mind boggling how different it’s all been. (side note: we find out the gender this week! Be sure to

Forget Resolutions, This is How I’m Challenging Myself in 2019
I used to be that girl who totally let herself get caught up in the spectacle of new year resolutions. I was all about dreaming, scheming and planning out all the BIG things I was going to accomplish in the upcoming year. Things were going to be different, I’d say to myself, I was going

What I Secretly Love Most About Going on Holiday
I’ve just returned to London from 4 weeks at my parent’s in Germany. And while I loved being away, lounging about, and spending quality time with my family… I really love being home again.

Developing a Signature Style from Scratch
I used to believe that having a signature style was boring. I saw it as a way of restricting creativity and playfulness in your wardrobe. Wearing the same thing, day in and day out. Sure it may make life a bit easier knowing what you’re going to wear everyday. But where’s the fun? Where’s the

Grace. The exercise of love, kindness, mercy, and favor. If you take anything from this post, let it be the very first words you read. Grace. Grace for your baby. Grace for your partner. Grace for your family. But most importantly – grace for yourself. The 4th trimester can be a really trying time.
