It's been a hot minute since I've posted a new bowtiful wallpaper! With fall just around the corner, I thought I'd create one that was cozy and autumn-inspired. This wallpaper features the quote: "get out of your own way" For me, this quote means that if you're feeling stuck at any point in life, before going and blaming anyone else or any circumstances for your situation you should always check yourself. Do a full check of what you might be doing or settling for that's holding you …

Wisdom Wednesday – The Power of Spontaneity
Sometimes life doesn’t happen exactly the way you plan it, and that’s okay! (Especially if you find yourself at a Cubs game you decided to go to an hour before it started... Like in the photo above!) I'm excited to bring back my Wisdom Wednesday series, by starting off with the topic of spontaneity! (This post is up few days late due to some website issues, but we're back up and running.

Wisdom Wednesday: You Decide
Life is filled with countless decisions. From the very moment we wake up in the morning to the time we lay back down to rest up for another day we're making decisions. These decisions can be both big and small. Some of them may have little to no longterm effects on our lives at all, while others can have a much larger impact, sometimes even to the point of being life-changing. …
“Life is Now” Bowtiful Wallpaper
There's something so fresh feeling about the first few days of a new year. Everything seems a bit brighter, new opportunities seem even more exciting, and in many cases, we're ready to live larger and take bigger chances. All that "new year, new me" stuff can get to your head a bit even if you make fun of it like my friends and I tend to do. ;) However, as I mentioned in a recent post, this year I'm not doing resolutions.

Wisdom Wednesday: Forget to Check Your Phone
Especially with blogging being such a large part of my life, I'm on my phone quite a bit. There's always something to take a photo of, an email to respond to, a social media channel to check, or a checklist to update. "Do more things that make you forget to check your phone" -Unknown I've been traveling for a few days now and as I've been adventuring throughout the East Coast, I've come to find that there are certain moments in which I almost forget I have a phone. …
Wisdom Wednesday: You Have Permission to Rest
As I write this, I'm sitting at home in my apartment and wishing that I hadn't woken up from a nap last night with a high fever... Time to replenish? That would be an understatement today. Today's post is a reminder, from me to you (and honestly to myself as well), that we all need to give ourselves a chance to rest from time to time. "You have permission to rest. You are not responsible for fixing everything that is broken. You do not have to try and make everyone happy. For now, …
