    I have always wanted to go to California but never thought it was going to happen. To be honest I still think it was a surreal moment and was a figment of my imagination. This was a fun trip that I took with my little sister for a girls trip. We kept asking each day, "do you believe we are here right now?". It made it such a memorable experience because we were able to do it together, just the two of us. I went on a plane ride for the first time in 3 years but for just the...

    The Fourth of July is less than a week away?! I'm not sure where June went, but it seems like I blinked my eyes and it was over.  Does anyone else feel this way? Now I'm looking forward to bbq, pool parties, and fireworks. I'm not the biggest fan of fireworks but they are pretty to look at, I just keep my distance.

It was a t-shirt style dress,...

            I love dressing up, taking photos, and styling my younger sisters for photoshoots. So it is no surprise that this post is about one of our recent photoshoots. There has been a photo challenge going around the internet lately and I decided to take part in it. Basically you go into a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels and take photographs, this is mainly done in the floral section but photos can be taken anywhere throughout the store. Since it is now spring time my sister and I went into the section of each...

    The springtime has finally arrived, nature is in bloom and everything is coming back to life. It is time to revel in the beauty that is nature. I became one with nature, flowers in specific, when doing a photoshoot with my sister. I've always seen milk bath photos on Pinterest and really wanted to try it out. They are very feminine pictures that make me want to enjoy the beauty of flowers even more. This allowed for a simplistic photoshoot that focused on flowers and the arrival of spring.  Let's talk about the process of gathering supplies because that...
