Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter Sunday!
I spent my day grilling, relaxing, and soaking in the beautiful weather in the valley, with close family and friends. The older I get, the more I realize that the simple moments spent relaxing and enjoying each other’s company are the times I appreciate most.
It’s a pretty surreal moment looking back at the past year and everything I’ve accomplished and am thankful for. I’m so happy I have the most amazing support system to share my triumphs with. Easter clearly brings out the inner sap in me.
Lent finally ended as well! Giving up sugar and white flour didn’t only make my body feel better, but it made me feel like an educated consumer. With resisting sugar, came knowledge about the harmful effects it had on my body. With my regular workout routine, just cutting those two items out alone, helped me to lose around 6 pounds in 40-ish days. (Slightly mind blowing).
I’m also really excited to share some exciting things with all of you later this week, especially with Mother’s Day coming up!
Stay tuned!

I can’t say no to stripes or pink, ever!! That’s awesome that you gave up sugar AND white flour for Lent…I just gave up cookies and that was hard enough! Haha!

I couldn’t like this fast enough when I saw it on Instagram! I love the little bit of skin showing that makes it super sexy and classy.
I really don’t know that I’ve found the “right” crop top, but your outfit is amazing and I can totally see myself rocking this trend like you did.
Congrats on the weight loss!! It’s crazy what can happen in such a short time. Are you going to keep it up now that you know you can do it?

This look is gorgeous! I’m in love with the skirt, and I’m especially smitten with the length on you. Plus, I have a huge weakness for stripes. So basically, I’m obsessed with this.
