Happy Galentine's Day!

Happy Galentine's Day aka the day before Valentine's Day where ladies celebrate ladies! To celebrate, Bethany's Bling and I threw a mini Galentine's Day party. We made Galentine's themed treats, watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and had fun in the Galentine's Day photobooth. My mouth is watering as I type this for all of the dessert we had!

Recently I had a less than pleasant encounter with someone at work which escalated quite rapidly. One of my blogging friends, @being_bettina, spoke about her work struggles a while back and I loved her honesty. It was comforting to know I’m not the only one on the receiving end of unprofessional and disrespectful conversations. I wrote about my experience (link in bio) and shared 5 tips for dealing with conflict in the workplace as an employee and 5 tips for how to manage conflict in the workplace if you’re a small business owner or manager. ⠀ ⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever run into this issue? If so, how did you manage? Tell me in the comments! ⠀ ⠀ 📸 + 👗 styling by Jess/ @enzeeboutique
Life happens- things frustrate us, people let us down and we can be hard on ourselves. One of my favorite ways hit pause and tune into myself is to go for long drives and listen to music. There’s something about the road that puts life into perspective. This looks different for everyone. For some it may be organizing, taking a bath, spending time with friends or alone. How do you show yourself love?

I walked into a juice bar tonight and the first thing I saw was a prayer request area. The other day I read on social media how in order for us to make a difference we have to take Christ out of church and bring it into our communities- into the “everyday”. Seeing this area in a Naperville juice bar was inspiring and a reminder. You never know what people are going through and a simple act like this- letting others know “I’m here” is incredibly powerful. This week I challenge you to let those you know you’re here for them. Send a text, ask if anyone on social media needs thoughts/ prayers, smile at strangers, check in on your neighbors- let people know you see them and that you’re here for them. It truly means a lot ✨This is how we show community. This is how we spread the love of Christ outside of the church ⛪️
What did the grape say when it was crushed? Nothing, it just let out a little wine 🍷 Upgrade your glasses for the next wine night. The @grasslglass is Swiss designed and moth-blown. CJFselections.com
Happy #internationalwomensday! 👭👯‍♀️ Today @marenmorris’ lyrics “I don’t want to wear your crown, there’s enough to go around” 👑 has been stuck in my head. I 100% agree. There’s enough love, success and opportunity to go around for all of us. I love the women in my life and how encouraging they are of others- especially females. They don’t look at the ladies in their life as competition. That to me, is so powerful and important. ✨Tap this photo to see the incredible women I’m talking about. Because IG limits how many people I can tag in a photo, these are other women I’m constantly inspired by: @mariyaleona, @jorikiyoga, @being_bettina, @lipstickandink, @madisonfichtl, @the.edding10.project, @thesisterproj, @iamssalvador, @s.l.a.m.wheaton/ @casiebucci, @cslilley , @yellowaurayogi, @mrsvikingninja, @angelabezdekthomson, @nessa_nae03, @danielliottt, @bethanys_bling, @lexysprite, @cosmeticsbycaroline, @missblondeambition, @liz_jane_christensen, @mermaidmissmolly, @kimbockay, @allybockay ♥️
