I Choose Joy

The holiday’s are now officially over. What is there to look forward to, a freezing cold winter?

Let me ask you a question. Are you happy? Like really, are you happy? Or are you like the person above, who is a total pessimist.

What if there was a better option to trying to find things that made you happy all the time?

Guys, it’s (almost) 2019

November Recap

Hey guys! This month has just flown by hasn’t it? I can’t believe that tomorrow’s December. The other day, I was planning a new collection for the shop, and I just couldn’t believe that I was writing January 2019 on the schedule. 2019 feels like a weird number for some reason. Why? I donno, maybe because 2020 feels like a really weird number. And 2020 is just a year away? Anyway, better live in the present, right? So today is November 30 2018. We still have another month to mull over the weird number 2019.

-We Have Been Made Ready-

One of my all time most inspiring people is Joanna Gaines. She is literally a total role model for me. This (last) season for her magazine the theme was being ‘made ready’ I really took this whole idea of being made ready for everything that life throws at you to a little bit of a deeper level. It’s something that I’ve really been thinking about lately and I decided to share it with you guys today! 🙂
