TGIF! Who else is ready for the weekend? I've been on spring break from school this past week, but I chose to stick around Chicago rather than jetting off to a more tropical destination. I've been working, catching up on emails and planning lots of upcoming content for Bowtiful Life. (Get excited!) For today's post, I'm sharing five things that are on my radar this week. …

Wisdom Wednesday: Soul Set On Fire
My last Wisdom Wednesday post went over quite well, so I decided to do another one for y'all this week! "Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire" -Unknown I just started my final semester of undergrad yesterday and it's such a surreal feeling. I came across this "unknown" quote on Pinterest recently and thought that it was fitting for anyone who's in the process of trying to pursue their passion(s) or find the next step on their pathway of life. …
Wisdom Wednesday: There’s More to Come… And It’s Something Beautiful.
It's been almost a year since I wrote my last Wisdom Wednesday post. Back when I first started creating consistent content for Bowtiful Life, back in high school and at the beginning of college, these were always my favorite posts to write. Now, when I go through and read old content, the Wisdom Wednesday posts always stand out to me. Later this month I will be celebrating my 5 year blogging anniversary.(!!!) It's truly eye opening to look back at posts from years past and see that although so …
“Keep on Seeking” Bowtiful Wallpaper – April 2016
Happy Thursday, lovelies! I realized that it was about time to create another Bowtiful Wallpaper for all of you, so here's a bright, beautiful and brand new one! The featured quote, "keep on seeking and you will find," seemed appropriate for this time of year. I registered for my final semester of fall classes yesterday. I can't believe that I'm going to be a senior!!! Class registration always seems to bring out college students' ideas and plans for the future. There's anxiety, but also a …
Wisdom Wednesday – If You Can’t Find One, Be One.
Living in a big city like Chicago, I'm constantly surrounded by people. Sometimes, walking down the sidewalk can feel like I'm moving through a never-ending sea of faces. Each person is bustling along with their own to-do list in mind. So many are so intensely focused on their personal objectives for the day that they don't even register the countless faces that pass by them. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm also guilty of this at times. When we rush around so much, we can forget to …
Adventures: The Best Way to Learn
It's been a while since I shared a Wisdom Wednesday post, so today I'm talking about one of my current, favorite quotes: "& then I realized, adventures are the best way to learn" I took this photo just a few weeks ago while driving into the city with my mom. (Don't worry, I was behind the lens and she was behind the wheel!) When I looked through all my photos later that day, this one really stood out to me and I realized that it invoked the same feeling that I used to get as a little …
Rhyme & Reason
One of my all-time favorite quotes is "Everything happens for a reason." I spoke in a recent post about silver linings and how I do my best to find them in every situation. I think that this quote in particular takes that one step further and touches on the fact that you may not see a silver lining at first. Occasionally, it takes a bit more time to find the silver linings and positive after effects of an occurrence, but when you find them it all makes sense! On my latest NYC trip I …
