My last Wisdom Wednesday post went over quite well, so I decided to do another one for y'all this week! "Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire" -Unknown I just started my final semester of undergrad yesterday and it's such a surreal feeling. I came across this "unknown" quote on Pinterest recently and thought that it was fitting for anyone who's in the process of trying to pursue their passion(s) or find the next step on their pathway of life. …

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Picks
Hip hip hooray, it's here! Today is the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale! Twice a year, Lilly holds a sale on pieces from recent seasons, and it's my favorite time of the year to buy new Lilly! Honestly, I very rarely pay full price for anything Lilly because I'm working with a college student budget. I tried waiting to get through the MASSIVE online line this morning, but the site kept crashing. So, I popped on during my lunch break at work to check things out! There are some great …
Wisdom Wednesday: There’s More to Come… And It’s Something Beautiful.
It's been almost a year since I wrote my last Wisdom Wednesday post. Back when I first started creating consistent content for Bowtiful Life, back in high school and at the beginning of college, these were always my favorite posts to write. Now, when I go through and read old content, the Wisdom Wednesday posts always stand out to me. Later this month I will be celebrating my 5 year blogging anniversary.(!!!) It's truly eye opening to look back at posts from years past and see that although so …

2016 – Year in Review
2016 flew by in a blur and 2017 has sounded so far away, until recently! This year was a bit crazy for me. I met some amazing people, had opportunities to partner with some super cool companies and brands, traveled outside of the USA for the first time in my life, started my last year of college, was the busiest I've ever been in my life, and so much more! I'm truly grateful for all of the experiences that 2016 has brought me and I can't wait to see what 2017 has in …
