“And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.” Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭

Join me in Taylor, Mississippi, just outside of Ox Join me in Taylor, Mississippi, just outside of Oxford, for a trip to @theviviennestudio! My sweet friend Meagan recently opened this skin studio and I cannot say enough about how awesome it is!  Every detail was so Meagan and so perfect! 

So what makes The Vivienne special is Meagan’s modern, holistic approach to skin health. She blessed me with a custom vivienne facial, which was so refreshing! 

Then she recommended three products from her incredible collection of clean skin care lines, which I have used every day since and LOVE. She knew just what my skin needed after assessing it during my facial!

If you’re in the Oxford area, and looking to love on your skin a little bit, please go see Meagan! Comment VIV and I’ll DM you her website so you can find out More about this beautiful little spot!

Until next time, Viv! And Meag!

It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨ I went It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨

I went in for my annual blonding balayage at the prettiest new salon in Ridgeland: @salonsaintellis! This salon is an @artsytracy vision, so as you can see, it’s absolutely fabulous and SO well detailed! But we would expect nothing less! 🤩 I looooved my time in this gorgeous space! 

As you can also hopefully see, I’m loving my lighter hair! ☀️🫶 I love a balayage because it grows out so well, leaving it to where I only get color once per year. I enjoy being darker haired in the colder months, then back to blonde for the warm ones! 😆 

If you’re looking for a cool new salon… @salonsaintellis is it!
✨ THE WONDER YEARS ✨ I LOVE the @axisconversa ✨ THE WONDER YEARS ✨

I LOVE the @axisconversations email newsletter and podcast. I try to take time to dive into them weekly, because they’re always so good! This week’s about WONDER really stood out to me. Wonder and miracles are ALL AROUND. On our good days and on our bad days. God is present in them. But how numb to wonder have we become? How many miracles right in front of our faces go unnoticed? 

My challenge to myself (and to you) is to make it a point to notice and verbally out loud thank God for the moments of wonder that give me pause. I pray I’m unhurried enough to notice all the little pieces of joy all around us. I feel like springtime is particularly wonder-filled! 

What little pieces of your day are the most wonderful? The most miraculous? Are you good at catching the little moments? I want to get better at it 🥰 Join me??
