    How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others And Find Your Strengths

    January 14, 2020

    Don’t look back or you won’t see what’s coming. Glory Barbaris There’s this pressure that comes with the new year and new decade. It’s so easy to fall victim to the pressures of seeing other people thriving and then feeling like you’re supposed to be there, doing how good they’re doing. You know, the comparison game, essentially making yourself feel like your life is worthless or not good enough because other people in the same business are doing much better than you. I almost allowed myself to fall victim to this ridiculous notion of comparison, especially working in two of the most competitive fields in the creative space–as a wedding…

    Journal Entry | 001

    January 4, 2020

    My favorite color is white. What us yours? I have been a little quiet on my Insta mostly because I honestly have nothing to share that would be useful or important. This past decade I’ve published on IG intentionally at times and at other times, haphazardly, because I want to share on a “schedule” or obligated by some campaign. This new year / decade, I’m changing all of that shit; I’m posting when I have something useful/important to share; or better yet, when I’m inspired to share. Normally in the winter all I wear are dark colors but this winter all I’ve been wearing is white. At least I’m consistent…

    Anniversary Dinner

    September 30, 2019

    This past weekend we celebrated our second wedding anniversary–time flies when you’re having fun! We had a romantic dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse Reston–located in the heart of Reston Town Center. I completely forgot that I’d purchased this maxi tulle dress earlier this summer. Turned out to be the perfect dress for our dinner. I love this look because it’s the epitome of high/low casual style, which is totally me. SHOP THE LOOK

    10 Grateful Quotes I’m Loving Right Now

    August 30, 2019

    Every morning I start my day in my most creative place—my home office / STUDIO and as my dogs follow right behind I can’t help but feel grateful for my life—all the ups and downs, challenges and opportunities for without it my happiest of days would not be as sweet. “Happiness cannot be traveled to owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” – Denis Waitley “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero “The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.” – Mary Davis “Be thankful…

    how we celebrated memorial day weekend

    May 29, 2019

    Lately I’ve been posting infrequently due to my life being so overwhelmingly busy and I’m not mad about it. Am I the only mama who desperately needed this long weekend to just relax with the kids and hubby? I guarantee if there was a line I was first in line! Lol… This weekend was a much-needed time away to our second home away from home: the beach! We spent the long weekend together sunbathing on the beach then took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend / Monday holiday to spend some quality r&r together. Before moving forward, I just want to share again: Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 // My…

    From Personal Trauma to a Life of Happiness and Love: How I Transformed My Life in just Seven Years (Series)

    January 15, 2019

    “Always greet the day with gratitude, humor and creativity.” I’ve been thinking a lot about my life journey and how far I’ve come. You know how when you look back on your life and think, wow, I can’t believe I powered through that hurdle or that challenge. Yes, I’ve been thinking about moments, traumatic + stressful life moments that I had to literally grind through so I can come out shiny and happy. I’ve been on this amazing platform (Instagram) since 2012, which is right around the time I went through a very personal traumatic yet transformative period of my adult life. I’ve since created a life that is incredibly…
