If you live with a partner, it can be difficult at times because you might not be on the same wavelength.

As a strong believer in manifestation and positivity, I believe that affirmations are a great way to contribute to a positive and healthy lifestyle.

I am so thankful to have a significant other that I get to show affection to. Showing affection is something I have been doing since day one of our relationship. There are so many ways to show that you care for your significant other - the possibilities end at your imagination. Even if you are not artistic or creative, the fact that you put in an effort to think about your special someone will make them feel super wanted, loved, and get you major brownie points.

So…we got a new house! This wouldn’t have been possible with my in-laws (Garrett’s parents) spotting the deal and snatching it for us. We absolutely love this house so far!

It’s no secret that money is one of the few factors that can split a couple up. So why not open up about money and be honest, instead of keeping it a secret? This topic of speaking openly/honestly about money has been a struggle of mine lately. Hopefully, this post will teach you (and myself) to be honest with your partner when talking about money. Let’s get into why you gotta be honest when it comes to money talk.

I learned a lot through my wedding planning experience, and I thought it would be best suited to explain it here on my blog. There are a lot of questions that I wish others answered for me, as I spent hours scouring the internet, trying my best to prepare for the craziness that is wedding planning. If you can think of any other questions that you want to be answered about my wedding experience or anything in regard to our relationship, leave it in the comments!
