I’ve realized the key to my happiness recently has been finding joy in the little things 💜 I can’t control the big picture! So I surround myself with bright colors, quotes on sticky notes, leopard shoes, cold glasses of rosé, friends that push my business forward, oysters/macaroni/massive salads, and lighting that makes me look like I’ve been at the beach (seriously how blonde does this lighting make my hair look?!) ☀️ • But in all honesty, that’s how I make it through the hard days. Focusing on the happy spots. You only see the brightest here on IG - I want to make this a very positive space; bc life has been grueling the last month. Work has almost taken the life out of me and I’ve had a hard time with Kyle being overseas. Not having your best friend to talk to every night has left my heart with an empty feeling. I keep myself very occupied with workouts and events but it’s a temporary fix at most. Stepping back and recognizing what I have around me instead of focusing on what I’m missing (please don’t pity me - I hate that) takes a concentrated effort. It’s worth it in the end though. You have to practice gratitude actively every day... once you accomplish that I feel like your blessings come into view. I’m lucky for my friends, apartment, creative passion, and having likeminded people like y’all to lift me up. • Outfit details // I adore this dress and shoe combo and each are under $36!
