Today is the last day of #20HappyDaysInMay , which has been hosted by the always hilarious The Daily Tay . I jumped right into this Instagram photo challenge after doing Helene's #30Photosinbetween challenge . I made both challenges my own and chose to blog about each photo topic, each day as well. Well the results are in and out of 50 days of blogging opportunities, I only missed two posts! They happened to be yesterday and the day before so my endurance game held strong. I'm pleased. Blogging is the best and I'm really enjoying finding ways to push myself to stay at it more consistently. I have a few ideas that I've been inspired to chat about so stay tuned for some fashion, food, and weekending adventure updates coming to a blog near you! (This blog, they're coming to this blog ;)) For the last of the #20HappyDaysInMay challenge, I give you muah , a la splashes of yellow and hints of pink: Until we meet again, M

I opted to combine two pictures from the Instagram Photo Challenge I am doing in to one blog post. There are only two days left of this photo/writing challenge and I'm just as sad to see it go as any other I've done . Saturday's prompt asked for a picture of a happy place for you, while Sunday asked for May flowers. Now, I don't just love flowers, I love love love them. In my hair, on table tops, or strapped to my pens to write with---I adore some floral goodness! In fact, when I graduated high school, I had this grand plan to study horticulture in college, minor in business, and planned to open my own flower shop... said the girl with terrible allergy problems . Way to think that one through ol'gal. So in short, life's a garden. Dig it. Until we meet again, M

Coming to you late this evening but by God I am here! I am determined not to miss my personal goal to not only post daily to Insta during The Daily Tay's Instagram Challenge , but also to blog daily. It may be close but it ain't midnight! Anyhow, today's prompt is #Currently. As I was scrolling my Insta feed this morning, I found that my very favorite boutique Francescas's posted an #OOTD challenge . As luck would have it, or really not luck at all but rather a shopping problem, I was currently wearing a ring, a bracelet, necklace, dress, and earrings all from my beloved Franny's . All also from entirely different shopping adventures too. #accessoriesaddiction The challenge set forth from Franny's said to post a pic of you showing off your creativity in your Francescas's best. So I give you how I typically dress all day every day: I felt mildly goofy but also giddy. I love fashion and it wasn't all bad posing randomly and having my go...

I used to read for leisure a lot. I got away from it a bit, mostly because of commitments to school reading material the last few years. Such a poor excuse but it's all I got. After making a vow to myself to get better at this again, I'm proud to report I am succeeding. Since finishing Bossy Pants and The List last week, which were such excellent reads, I am on to the next. Currently, I'm reading Not That Type of Girl by Siobhan Vivian, also the author of The List , which I clearly can't stop raving about . That's what happens when you're an amazing author. I have plans to get two other books of hers as well. This past weekend, we cleaned and organized that bookshelf above in le pic, making it much easier to find a good read. Gang's all here; professional literature, fictional fun reads, and my beloved biographies are all present and accounted for. So many # favsinagram just living the good life! How do you keep tabs on your books? Until...

Taylor's Instagram photo challenge kicked off today and the first prompt is #MayDay. This begs the question: what is May Day to you? For me... May Day is vibrant and charming flowers basking in the sunshine... It's a walk through the park in semi-matching, brightly colored get ups with my true sunshine... It's a stop for a sugar cookie cupcake from Sweet by Holly , which if I'm being honest, is now in MY TOP 3 of best options from Miss Holly... via Just some of my own interpretations I suppose. But anything centered on sweet, flowery waltzes through the park is okay any day of the week. It's just extra special on May Day. Until we meet again, M
