I have always loved Etsy! It's such a cool site where you can buy unique and homemade items for pretty much anything! Since I'm planning a wedding, I have been all over Etsy, they have the coolest personalized things for weddings that you definitely won't see anywhere else. Here are a couple things I'm loving from Etsy for a wedding:

This Cake Topper from Ready Go Wedding Co.

These Invitations from Splash of Silver.

   And this Flower Girl Basket from Morgann Hill Designs.

Do you love Etsy as much as I do? What is your favorite shop? Even if you aren't getting married soon, there will be something there for you! That's why I am doing a giveaway for a $25 gift card to Etsy! All you have to do is follow the directions below to be entered to win, and a winner will be randomly selected on Wednesday, July 24th.

Pretty Things and Good Deeds

I really love recently how many clothing companies are aimed to charities and helping people. It seems to be a trend lately, and I'm so happy about it. In this outfit, I'm wearing two different charitable brands, my shoes are Toms and my top is Feed USA for Target. Of course everyone knows and loves Toms, they've become very popular in the last few years, but I really love wearing them knowing I helped out a child in need, just by buying shoes! It can't get easier! And I love the idea of Feed too. Just the $25 shirt I bought from Target provided 24 meals to people in America. It's really wonderful how many people are willing to help others, and how easy they make it for everyone else, just buy adorable clothing!

Here are some other charitable companies to check out:

3 Strands: This company rescues girls in America(!!!) from sex trafficking, providing them with stable paying jobs making bracelets you can buy.

Feel More Better: This is a really unique company, their clothing is designed to make girls feel more comfortable with themselves and live happily without worrying about what society says girls should look like, and not comparing themselves to models. Their shirts have words on them like "Feel Good About Yourself" and "Not Photoshopped." Definitely a good message. Plus, with every purchase they donate a book to an underprivileged child.

Out Of Print Clothing: Not only does this company sell shirts with vintage book cover art, which is already amazing, but with every purchase they donate books to communities in need, and kids who need school books.

Definitely check these sites out. Easiest way in the world to help others, plus you get awesome merchandise!

Bloom Where You Are Planted

I've recently discovered something about myself; I LOVE plants. Well, I've always loved plants, but I never thought I'd want to be surrounded by them at all times until now. In the past, whenever I'd buy plants, they would always end up dying within a week or two. So I just never really bothered. But since being out and on my own I've gotten more responsible with things, and thought I'd give plants another go. And I love it. Obviously they are so lovely and pretty, but they also bring such a feeling of life to your home. I have started out easy with Succulents and Cacti, because they are very low maintenance, but they are SO beautiful. I'm especially in love with my "Lola" succulent. I only have a few for now, but definitely plan on getting more in the future as I learn more about them and can make sure I don't kill any more!

Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Today is one of my favorite holidays! I love summer, BBQs, parties, fireworks and all the fun traditions that come with it! Today Joe and I dressed in our patriotic gear and went to my sisters for a BBQ and to watch all the kids play in water. It was a lot of fun and we had such lovely weather! No rain today, luckily! Later we had our own little BBQ here and got up on the roof to watch fireworks! It was a wonderful day! I hope you all had a great fourth, too!

Rainy Days

It's officially monsoon season here in Prescott, so rainy, yet warm days is what we're getting. Other than the headaches the weather change has brought for me, and Nic being terrified of the thunder, it's actually pretty nice. Right now days off for Joe and I mean scary movies in bed, soup for dinner, and listening to the thunder. I'm loving it.

Reading: Been really into rereading things lately. There are so many great books out there that just need to be read again and again. The Bell Jar, Fahrenheit 451, Harry Potter, all just too good to be read only once! Also reading up business type things, trying to learn what comes with owning your own business. I figure it's a good thing to know early on if it's something you want to do.

Watching: Still not too much! Actually been trying to get into new shows lately, but nothing seems to grab my attention. I guess Sex and the City reruns will have to do until Bait's Motel and The Walking Dead are back on. But I would love any recommendations for TV shows if you have any!

Loving: This time in my life. I love being 20, and being carefree, but also being engaged and having a good feeling about where my life is going. It's a perfect in-between, and I'm really trying to not rush anything and just let life happen.

Listening To: I don't know how you all are feeling about the scandalous new Miley video (watch it here) but I really love it and her music. I know it's a bit risqué, but I think that's just the audience she is after. I don't see anything wrong with that. She is doing what she loves and I think that's wonderful. It's just music! Also listening to a lot of Lana Del Rey, Ed Sheeran, old vintage vinyls, all that good stuff.

Looking Forward To: Wedding events, BUT not for me, for my sister! She is getting married in November, and I am so psyched to be a bridesmaid! Last Saturday we went dress shopping, and she found the most beautiful wedding gown! I can't wait to finally be able to be apart of somebody's wedding (and actually be old enough to participate and know what's going on!) It will also be nice to learn more about it all from her experience and know a bit more what to expect when it's my turn next year.

Thankful For: The real heroes in this world. My small town has been through a lot of tragedy lately including a very big fire, and losing nineteen firefighters. My heart really aches for their families and friends. It really is a good reminder to stop sometimes and just really enjoy life, you never know what's coming next. But I am so thankful that this world has heroes like those nineteen people, who literally gave their lives to protect their community, what an amazing thing.
