Bowtiful Life turned NINE this week! If you told me back in 2012 that the blog I created in my high school’s computer lab would still be going strong nine years later, I probably wouldn’t have believed you... But here we are & what a fun ride it’s been so far! I started Bowtiful Life after becoming a blog reader myself and falling in love with the content that Sarah of Classy Girls Wear Pearls & Carly of College Prepster were putting out. I loved the idea of styling and shooting …

Winter Floral Fun – Six Year Blogiversary
Six years ago, on January 20th, 2012, I sat down at one of the computers in the basement lab of Loyola Academy (my high school) and published the first blog post to ever go live on Bowtiful Life. It was a very brief and simple introduction, just a few seemingly insignificant paragraphs. I had no idea as I pressed "publish" on that very first post that I'd be sitting here, 6 years later, still writing and creating content for Bowtiful Life. What a wild ride it has been!!! …
Blogiversary: Bowtiful Life is FIVE!
Five years ago today, I published my very first post here on Bowtiful Life. Today, I'm publishing my 627th!!! If I'm being 100% honest here, I seriously just typed that out and then had to read it out loud to myself. 5 years?!? 627 posts?!? That's crazy! It feels like it was just yesterday that I was sitting in the computer lab in my high school during one of my free periods messing around on blogger, creating the first design layout and drafting my first post. …

Three Years Later
On January 20th, 2012 I put up my first blog post here on Bowtiful Life. Since then, what started out as a fun side project during a rough patch of my junior year in high school has turned into one of my greatest passions and accomplishments. It's crazy when I stop and think about how long I've been blogging for and how much my life has changed in these past three years. When I started this blog, I would never have been able to imagine myself where I am now. I've been incredibly lucky to meet …

I haven't done one of these Friday Five posts in what feels like forever! Here's what has been going on during this crazy week...1. Spring Semester '14 I am absolutely in love with my schedule and my classes this semester! I'm taking a lot of classes relating to my major, comm studies, and I'm downtown quite a bit.
