Hey everyone! Happy Friday! How was your week? Mine threw me a curveball that I’m still trying to come to terms with. Life is crazy sometimes, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason.
Here’s what I’m loving this week:
1. Did you notice my site has a new look? Jeff Murnan of Murnan Creative is a website building mastermind and completely revamped my site for me. I love how it is so much cleaner and open. There’s also some fun new pages. Check out my Shop My Closet page! It’s a monthly roundup of staples in my closet. I hope you like it!
2. I have a new lip balm love. Savannah Bee Co. recently sent me their new Natural Beeswax Lip Balms to try and I have been using the peach daily. They’re made of a mix of organic beeswax, honey, propolis, royal jelly, coconut, olive, cocoa, and hemp seed. A day of fun in the sun last Sunday with Josh and my dad actually made my lips peel, and this hydrating lip balm helped them become silky and soft again. Yay for pretty lips!
3. This Ellie Goulding song is beyond beautiful. Listening to it makes my heart smile.
4. If you are a fan of greeting cards like I am you are absolutely going to love Cards2Life. I have some special people in my life celebrating some big life milestones right now. And when someone’s going through something big in their life, I like to celebrate with beautiful cards. These cards are pop up cards that are laser cut, hand-crafted, and absolutely stunning. They’re sure to give the reader a big surprise when they open it! I can’t wait to see my friends’ reactions!
5. I saw this quote yesterday and thought it was good perspective for getting through a hard time. 🙂

Love the look of your site, very pretty! Those lip balms look amazing, do you know if they are gluten free? I’m desperately looking for good gf ones.
I’m sorry I don’t know if they’re gluten free! But they list all the ingredients on their site. I’m just not sure what constitutes as gluten in ingredients.
That’s okay, I’ll check out their site for ingredients, thanks you?
Your new layout is gorgeous!!! And that quote is so good… I need to put it on my desk.
Thanks Cassie! Jeff does the best work! I’m so happy with how he made my blog look!
Love the bad day quote. Sometimes you need the reminder to keep things in perspective 🙂
Yes! A bad day does not equal a bad life!
The new lay out is great. I am a lip balm addict. I will have to try that brand.
It’s a great lip balm! And thanks so much! I’m glad you like the layout!
Hi, Erin! I’m new to your blog (but we’ve been friends on Snapchat for a while), so I don’t really know how your blog looked like before this. The category illustrations/icons are adorable! 🙂
P.S. I’m a lip balm hoarder, so I might try those natural beeswax next time!
