I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far! With the magic of the holiday season and the snowy ambiance of winter, I thought that it was time for a new bowtiful wallpaper! This wallpaper features the quote: "You are made of stardust and wishes and magical things" …

“Get Out of Your Own Way” Bowtiful Wallpaper
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. So, happy Friday!) "The best things happen unexpectedly" I'm not going to lie. I am a MAJOR planner and …
Friday Five 06.29.18
Hey, hi, hello and happy Friday! As some of you may have noticed, things have been a bit quieter here on the blog and on my Instagram in the past month or so. Life has been pretty crazy recently, so I wanted to check in to do a Friday Five post and fill you in a bit as to what I've been up to & what's new …
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. …
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, …
Wisdom Wednesday: You Should Go & Love Yourself
Happy post-Valentine's Day, y'all! Today is one of the best days of the year because candy and chocolate are on sale pretty much everywhere you go. So, go ahead and treat yourself! Now, I never thought that I'd be quoting this person in a Wisdom Wednesday post, but... to quote Justin Bieber, "You should go & love yourself." You may be thinking, "Megan, why on earth are you quoting 'Love Yourself' today?" (Besides the fact that it is a really great song, of …
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 …
