I absolutely love going to the beach, and I'll pick it over the pool any day. When I'm heading to the beach I usually throw on a tank, some Jacks, and a pair of Nike shorts.

I think that the rose gold is gorgeous and a bit more unique than the common gold or silver monogram necklaces. They also sent me some super cute Lily & …
A Good Head & A Good Heart
“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” -Nelson Mandela Parents always talk about moments in which they feel especially proud to be someone's parent, but children talk about having these feelings with their parents much less. I think that a child's pride for their parent is underrated and seldom stated, so today I'm going to brag a little bit and tell you about a huge, recent …
