1. My summer has officially started, and I wasn’t at all ready for it.
2. On that note, I’ve accepted that I’ll be living out of this suitcase for most of the next 3 months.

3. I’m currently loving (and suggest subscribing to) the Brave Girls Club daily emails. Thanks to Andi for introducing me to them!
4. When the thought of chopping off my hair comes around, just remember “this too shall pass.”
5. Gluten-free can be really (and I mean really) delicious. Thanks, Nizza.

6. I literally do not know what I’d do without my friends and family. Sorry world, but I think I’ve got the best of them.
7. When it seems like God isn’t speaking to us, it’s because He’s forming and fashioning us.
(This is an amazing podcast by Kris Vallotton – “When God is Silent”)
8. It’s okay to give yourself a day of (at least some) pampering every once in a while.
9. While I love love love New York, there may come a day where I need more nature in my life than gardens.

10. This.
What’s a lesson you’ve learned lately?














Do you go home for the summers?
I have learned it’s perfectly fine I’m 23 and my mother paints my nails sometimes. It’s just relaxing and the mother/daughter time cannot be beat.
I’ll probably go home here and there, but mostly I’ll be traveling to the Hamptons on the weekends! And to the Jersey shore a few times with my family as well
Brave Girls Club emails are amazing! I love waking up to them.
