Hey babes! This topic is one I get asked about a lot, especially considering I do not blog full time. But before we get into that, let's chat about my outfit. I just got this fun velvet top, similar here from Chicwish and it was pretty chilly the day we shot it so I paired it with a cute trench coat. Chicwish has so many cute things right now, here are my favorites!
MUST HAVES FROM CHICWISH RIGHT NOW
- this shirt dress in bronze or blue. OMG so so cute for Spring!
- this high low V Neck top, would look so cute with jeans, flare jeans or shorts for Spring
- these wide leg pants in Peach! How cute with wedges or flat sandals and a sleeveless top
- this floral crop top paired with a little skirt or high waisted jeans
- these wide leg pants in black. Sexy, slimming and chic!
How do I balance work and life? Sometimes I ask myself this too. I am a part time blogger (even though I work on it everyday) and a part time restaurant manager, bartender and sometimes server. I typically work nights and live 30 minutes away from my job so work-life balance is very important to me. The time came for me to get my sh*t together when Justin told me I was on my phone too much (for the 100th time!). As a blogger, I do need to be on my phone a lot but I needed to find some balance. Here are some tips that helped me:
- download a productivity app! This will let you plan your day with exact time restraints so you stay on track.
- know when you work best. For me this is typically nights!
- schedule social media time (ex. on the days I work nights I post during the day, on the days I have off I try to post during the day so I can have nights off with Justin)
- have a dedicated "work space." For example, I am not going to be working in bed or on the couch because that usually makes me tired.
- schedule one Admin day per week. This is my plan stuff out day. I typically do this on Sundays. I get my planner and sit down and organize my time for the week!
- make time to unplug
- work smarter. When I am doing emails/ blog posts, I put my phone in a different room. It's so easy to get distracted by checking instagram stories, responding to texts, etc.
These are a few little things that have helped me recently. I hope they help you also! We are going to walk the dogs and grab Chipotle right now. Enjoy your night!

Wow! It is frigid today! I hope you are staying warm! I tagged along with my mom to Memphis because she is doing some work here. She's making me do my first Orange Theory class tomorrow so I'm excited for that!
I love a good warm AND chic outfit so I wanted to share this with you guys. I received this sweater from Chicwish and OMG it is so warm and cuteee. I think pairing an oversized sweater with skinny jeans and over the knee boots is such a killer outfit. Chicwish has so many cute pieces for Winter right now, I have linked them below!
