• Mars, but make it a snow globe ☄️❄️ Crazy how fast a year goes — this time last year I was in Moab, Utah with my travel buddy @laurinverted to explore one of my favorite places in this country. (Correction: I went to explore, Lauren went to do handstands 🤸🏼‍♀️😆) If you haven’t been to @archesnps, I highly suggest you make a trip out there, and if you’re lucky enough to be there during the rare occurrence of this much snow in Moab… damn, it’s a beautiful thing. On our last day, Lauren and I decided to tackle the longest and most difficult trail in the park- Devil’s Garden. On a normal day without snow, this 7.5 mile hike takes over 4 hours to complete. We got about 3.5 miles in and realized we couldn’t decipher the trail anymore so we sadly had to turn around. Maybe next time, @laurinverted?? 😉 P.S.- thank god shoe snow spikes are a thing because we definitely wouldn’t have survived our hikes without them. Especially the section of trail that was about a 10ft wide snow covered sandstone fin with drop offs on both sides (see photo) 😳 I definitely meant to share more photos from this trip last year, but... life. Snow globe Utah, you will always be magic to me! 😍

  • The 10 best things I did for myself in 2019: 1. I took an unplugged vacation during my busiest work season. 2. I didn’t book any double wedding weekends. I gave myself time to recharge in between each wedding and it improved my work and my sanity. 3. I went to bed when I was tired. No more forcing myself to stay awake into the early morning hours only to be disappointed with my half-assed work the next day. Sleep first. Work later. 4. I invested in a new skincare regimen + probiotics to start getting my crazy 30s skin issues under control. Swipe to see what I was covering up with makeup in January 2019 vs today 😳. Shoutout to @biohmhealth and @revitalmedspa for the help. 5. I said no to family + newborn photo work. It’s just not my thing. I have amazing photographer friends who shine in the newborn/family realm. I’d rather refer clients to where they will be best served while I focus my energy on photo work I do best instead. 6. CBD 🙂 7. I rediscovered the Enneagram. It’s helped me understand how I see the world and what motivates my everyday behavior. I’m a gigantic 9. Never ask me where I want to eat for dinner. 8. I splurged on bling from @lizamichellejewelry.. twice! I have a hard time spending money on myself outside of purchases for my business. I helped design two rings that I wear every day as a reminder that it’s ok to celebrate where I’m at while still working toward my goals. 9. I read a Stephen King novel in 3 days. Then bought 4 more. 10. I didn’t meet my deadlines. I let work wait while I took time for myself and with the people I love. I watched movies without simultaneously answering emails, traveled with friends, had lunch dates with B, took my little brother on a spontaneous trip to see the Pacific Ocean because I knew it’s what he needed. My work still got done. My business didn’t fall apart! Here’s to a fresh start of another year of learning and growth! Welcome to 2020, friends! 🎉
