Welcome to Bowtiful Life’s 2018 Year in Review!
2018 was a crazy year, filled with incredible experiences and quite a bit of change. I met so many remarkable people, attended some amazing events, worked with awesome brands and had a ball! This year contained some of what I’m sure will remain my favorite memories for years to come. Below I’ve recapped my favorite blog posts from 2018 as well as a few of my favorite memories. Thanks for taking this walk through 2018 with me and for your constant support. Thank you for being a part of the Bowtiful Life Family! I can’t wait to see all that 2019 has in store for all of us!
