January Favorites


I asked on Instagram stories last night what type of post I should do to wrap up January on the blog, and I was very excited to see that the majority of you wanted me to share my January favorites. This was something I had in the back of my mind that I wanted to start doing every month, but I wasn't sure if any of you would actually be interested. So... I am really excited to make this a monthly tradition! I think it's so fun to share little tidbits on here, when I have the chance, that aren't always making it into their own individual post throughout the month. 

On Rotation




This winter, I have been living in the same pieces over and over again. From the warmest sweater I own, to my tried and true Levi denim, to my latest sneaker addition, I can't seem to take off this outfit!

What To Get Your Boyfriend for Valentine's Day




I'm kind of excited for Valentine's Day this year for a different reason. I plan to go out with my girlfriends since I won't be celebrating it for the first time in three years (if you catch my drift here, that was a pretty big life update!). Nonetheless, I have quite a few gift ideas up my sleeve if you're stressed about what to get your boy toy for Valentine's Day in a few weeks.

This Week's Top 10: Pretty in Pink

can't wait to share the rest of these photos soon!

1. These 5 simple shifts to bring more positivity into your life have officially been added to my list of goals for the year. 

2. Under $100 perfectly pink finds for February: one, two, three (my favorite now on major sale!), four, five. 

3. Mornings are my favorite part of the day. I 100% consider myself a morning person, and now I'm thinking maybe it's because these 7 things that people do before bed to make their days easier are practices I usually follow!

Running Update & Playlist


Since the New Year I have been trying to share more running updates on my Instagram stories. I set a goal to work out at least three days every week, and so far so good! I find that mixing up my workouts is the best way to keep myself from getting burnt out and losing motivation. Usually my workouts consist of a run and then 10-20 minutes of strength exercises like planks, squats, ab exercises, etc. I should probably start bumping up the time (and effort...) I spend on that aspect of my workouts, but for now I'm enjoying playing around with running when it comes to pace, duration, and type of run that I do.
