Welcome to Bowtiful Life’s 2019 Year in Review!
(I know that I’m a little late on this one, but the first few weeks of 2020 have been a bit busy!) 2019 was QUITE the wild ride. This past year was filled with so many incredible opportunities. I had the chance to meet incredible people, travel to breathtaking locations, attend amazing events, make new friends, and have a LOT of fun while doing it! In this post, I’ve recapped my favorite blog posts from the past year as well as some of my favorite memories.
Side note: I want to say an absolutely massive “thank you” to each and every one of you for being part of the Bowtiful Life family! Thank you for your constant support, love and encouragement. I am beyond excited to see what 2020 and the coming decade have in store for us!
