Hey loves, happy Monday. What a week it has been! (Please click HERE to read my statement on to how I plan to do better using Bowtiful Life & my platform moving forward.) Over the past few days, I've shared a lot of content & resources related to Black Lives Matter on my Instagram stories. However, I felt the need to create a more permanent home for these resources - one that goes beyond an Instagram highlight. Below is a collection of direct links to content I've re-shared on stories …
Paused.
Paused. ⏸ I have decided to put all personal and sponsored content on pause this week on all of my social media channels as well as here on my blog. This is not the time for me to share pretty pictures, cute outfits, branded content, affiliate links, etc. With this platform, I have the privilege and responsibility of having an audience and I apologize for not being more vocal or speaking out sooner regarding social justice and human rights issues on my platform. Also: I understand that …
What You See Isn’t Always What You Get… & that is OK!
What you see isn’t always what you get… and that is OK! (Full disclosure, this blog post started out as an Instagram caption and then I realized that I wasn’t done writing… So here we are!) As we all know, Instagram and social media are filled with pretty pictures, but at the end of the day they serve as a highlight reel. Plain and simple. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it’s also okay to share the parts of life that aren’t quite so pretty from time to time. Life recently …
The One Thing I Collect When I Travel: Mugs
When I travel, I do my best to do as little shopping as possible. I try to focus on the experience and snapping some photos vs. leaving with a bunch of souvenirs. However, I have one thing that I collect whenever I travel …
What’s Inside of My Skincare Cabinet
Today I’m excited to give you all a peek inside of my skincare cabinet! Beauty is only skin deep, so might as well love (and take good care of) the skin that you’re in! Not only am I going to be sharing my favorite skincare brands & products with you, I’m also talking about the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Fair warning, this is a longer post, but I've organized all the products by type so it's a bit easier to digest …
Bowtiful Bartender: Classic Margarita
Happy Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo! Today I'm excited to bring you the second installment of my Bowtiful Bartender series! Since today is a double whammy and we're celebrating both Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday, I figured that now would be the perfect time to mix up a classic drink - a margarita! I have so many special, random memories associated with margaritas from over the last few years... …

Bowtiful Bartender: Lilac Lady
Hey lovelies, I hope that you’re all doing well! (Quick heads up that today's post is for readers who are 21 & up.) Today I’m going to teach you how to make one of my current go-to cocktails, a Lilac Lady. I came up with this recipe after Empress 1908 Gin reached out to collaborate with me on a sponsored Instagram post. It turned out wonderfully, so I thought I’d share it here on the blog* too! I’ve wanted to start a “Bowtiful Bartender” series for quite some time now. So, I was excited …
