At 16, I specifically remember writing down my goals for where I would be by the time I turned 30. I wrote that I would be married with two kids, driving a Range Rover (my dream car) and a doctor!! Yes, a doctor. For some reason, I thought that being a doctor would mean that I was super successful and rich, boy has that “goals list” changed!! When I was between the ages of 16 up until about 24, 30 seemed like such the “real adult age”. The age that I gave myself a deadline to have everything done!!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I LOVEEEE it! My family has always been very big on Christmas and all of our many traditions. I think I believed in Santa until I was 10 years old haha. My parents did it all for me and my little sister, so it is without question that Ernest and I are doing the same for Aria.

Lately, all I have been in the mood to wear is sweats and an oversized tee; basically, my everyday work-from-home uniform. I typically love getting dressed up in more posh styles, like tailored pants and chic blouses. But, my mood usually determines my style, and the relaxed look is so me right now.
