Over the long weekend, we went to the lake with family, which meant my first time wearing swimsuits in a few months! So, I kind of have them on the brain right now. I realized that I only own high-waisted bikinis right now (I really latched onto that trend) and that I probably need some variety. It’s SO hard to find a swimsuit that checks all of the boxes, and everyone needs a different fit and look and color palette, etc.

So, I scoured the internet looking for swimwear I loved and wanted to pass my finds along to you!

How to Break Out of a Bad Mood

Sometimes I find myself in a straight up bad mood and I HATE feeling that way. Generally I think (and hope) I'm a pretty agreeable, cheerful person, but sometimes stress wears on me or PMS kicks my butt. Obviously no one wants to be around me when I'm grouchy, and I highly dislike myself for it too, so I try to break out of a bad mood as quickly as possible! Here are some tips I swear by:

10 Simple Things that Make me Happy (and a Sephora Giveaway!)

I’m definitely a believer in looking for the good in each day, and I also love little routines, so the simple things in life often bring me so much happiness!

We Are What We Eat

Do you remember hearing this phrase as a little kid and imagining yourself turning into a slice of pizza or an asparagus and thinking it was a bizarre thing to be told? Fast forward to adulthood and I get it now. While it’s still a funny little saying, there’s definitely truth to it. Eating a piece of fried chicken versus a piece of grilled salmon will definitely have different effects on your body and how you feel!

On my journey toward living a happier, healthier life, I can’t help but to think back on how far I’ve come in the past 12 years. I would be lying if I said I’ve always had it together and been focused on my health, because that couldn’t be further from the truth. Although it’s a bit scary to open up about, I know it’s time to share my journey with you and get it all out there...

4 Great Swimsuit Brands that Won't Break the Bank

Believe it or not, but the past few summers I've only had 1 or 2 swimsuits and haven't really gotten into shopping for them. I just never wanted to spend much money on them, and thought the only swimsuits I liked were over $100. However, this year I've discovered a few swimsuit lines that are very affordable but are still high quality, so I've found myself with several really cute and well fitting swimsuits in my lineup this summer! I thought I would share these brands with you!
