Start Your Morning Strong</h3>
<div>
<br />
Feeling healthy and energetic is an instant confidence booster. Start your morning strong with a healthy breakfast. Make a smoothie bowl, drink some water, or munch on some greens! When our bodies are nourished properly we feel a heck of a lot better! Am I right or am I right!?<br />
<br />
One of my favorite ways to get a boost in the morning is to make a mixed berry and spinach smoothie with orange, lemon, and tart cherry juice or a delicious coffee infused smoothie!<br />

Get A Natural Glow ( Without Baking In The Sun )</h3>
<br />
Natural glowing skin is a great confidence booster for spring! I have always had very fair skin, and worked to protect it from the damaging effects of the sun. The easiest way to get that natural sun kissed glow, without exposing your skin to potential fine lines and sun damage, is to use a sunless tanner. We all know how easy it is to start to look like an oompa loompa.. rolled in cheeto dust.<br />
So, finding the right sunless tanner is key! Especially if you're very fair. My favorite tried and true sunless tanner is the <a href="http://cbi.as/7ie3m" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">JERGEN</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://cbi.as/7ie3m" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">S</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://cbi.as/7ie3m" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">®</a> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Natural Glow® Wet Skin Moisturizer and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Natural Glow® Instant Sun® Sunless Tanning Mousse.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">I honestly love these two sunless tanners because they're easy to use and give me a little confidence boost when I'm wearing shorts or tanks. We should all choose to love ourselves just as we are, but, it's also nice to do something for yourself that makes you feel good! </span><br />

<h3>
Stay Off Of Social Media In The Morning</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div>
I know what you're thinking: <i>That's not possible, Jenna. I have content to share to grow my brand!</i></div>
<div>
I hear you, girl. There is plenty of time to work on your social media game or peruse your favorite feeds. First thing in the morning is not one of those times. How we start our day determines our outlook. When we lack confidence it puts a damper on our happiness, and that is reflected in content that we share! Comparison is such an ugly thing, and it is all too easy to fall into. If the first thing that we are feeding on in the morning is curated social content then we do ourselves a disservice.<br />
<br />
Start the day out with a healthy dose of positivity and stay off of social media for at least the first hour. It will have a huge impact on your outlook for the day, your confidence, and your feelings of self worth, and value<br />

<h3>
Treat Yourself Just A Little</h3>
<div>
Make a wise indulgence and enjoy it every once in a while. I don't know about you, but, there is nothing in this world that makes me quite so grumpy as depriving myself. That's no way to live! When we have the proper ratio between work and play, health and indulgence we feel more confident because there is nothing to out of balance. <br />
<br />
Self control is important, yes, but, so is allowing yourself some wiggle room to enjoy the little things - Whatever that may be for you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Own Your Flaws</h3>
<div>
Flaws, everybody has them and nobody wants them! Take a note from Chrissy Teigen and be proud of your stretch marks [ or any other so called flaw ]. They tell a story, and there is nothing ugly about that! I have "stretchies" on my thighs, much like Chrissy, and you know what? They're beautiful. Acknowledge your flaws, whatever they may be, and own them. Your flaws might be different from mine, but, we both have them and they are apart of what makes us.. <i>us. </i>Stop comparing yourself to someone else's filtered life and live yours with joy!<br />

Hey babes! How happy are you that it's officially spring!? I, for one, am most excited for sunny poolside days, driving with the top down, and easy one pot meals [ y'all know I love to eat! ]. A lot of one pot recipes are more suited for fall/winter, but this spicy chicken sweet potato and asparagus hash is perfect for these slightly warmer temps. It is light yet robust with flavor, and wonderfully filling.</div>

It's been a while since I really dug into creating a recipe. With all of the renovations taking place at the condo, Austin and I have been crazy busy - my kitchen time has been zero. It felt so good to get back in the kitchen and dream up a recipe. This hash is "<i>like mind-blowingly delicious</i>".. or so I'm told ;)</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">This dish did not last long in our house! It is irresistibly spicy, sweet, and savory! This one pot hash delivers on flavor and is so simple to put together. You can cut back on the red pepper flakes if spicy isn't your thing or add more if you're feeling brave ;)</span><br />

Hello sweet friends! I am so happy to be able to share some encouragement with you today on finding the good in the midst of trials. I am not an expert on this matter, but I do have insight. I have battled chronic illness for nine years - with no solution, no real answers, and at times no hope. In the last four years I sustained a severe head injury that has left me with painful and frustrating symptoms that effect me everyday. My daily life is muddied by one struggle on top of the other. Sometimes the pain brings me to my knees, and other times the emotional toll does. Life is not easy [ for any of us ] but it can be beautiful and there is good in each day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I continue to weather my own trials, I want to encourage you to take on yours with grace and the knowledge that you are not alone. I can empathize with your pain, but moreover, God <i>knows</i> your pain and He will not leave you to be crushed by your burdens. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Read on for 3 encouragements to help you find the good in the midst of trials.</div>

<h3>
Accept What You Cannot Change</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I firmly believe that God does not give us more than we can handle. It will feel like the weight of the trial is crushing you, but our Heavenly Father has made a way of escape from the burden and pain, through Him. He will not allow the trials to completely crush you, no matter how heavy it feels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have learned through my own suffering that the good cannot be truly appreciated or cherished without the bad. Pain makes us appreciate relief, a questioning heart makes us appreciate peace, and trials that test our resilience make us appreciate inner strength. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>The beauty of the good things in this life is in the pain that we have weathered to get to them. Trials make peace all the sweeter.</i></blockquote>
Accepting what cannot be changed and choosing to acknowledge what is good will help you find the peace that we all yearn for in life. Until we accept the things that we cannot change, we cannot begin to move forward and prepare ourselves to bear the weight of that burden.<br />

<h3>
Be More Than Your Suffering [Choose Joy ]</h3>
<div>
<div>
Suffering of any kind can overshadow who you are. When we battle daily it is easy to become our suffering. You are so much more than your pain and you are more than heartache. We are complete people with loves, talents, unique perspectives, and wonderful creativity. Hold onto who you are - Utilize your talents, explore your creativity, and enjoy the things that you love!<br />
<br />
Do not allow your suffering/trials to become all that you are. Choose joy today. Dig down deep inside of who you are, and <i>live</i>. These trials will not overtake you, nor will they overshadow you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>You are more.</i></div>

<h3>
Everyday Is A Fresh Start [ Make The Most Of It ]</h3>
<div>
Waking up every morning knowing that 'today is a fresh start' makes weathering life's trials or personal suffering a little easier. Instead of tackling the trial or the pain all at once, take it on a little bit at a time - day by day. Yesterday's pain is gone, yesterday's fear is gone, yesterday's struggles are gone. So live today with renewed strength! Face today, and only today.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>It is easy to say God is good when there is no suffering. The heavy reality is that we live in a fallen world. God is still good when we are suffering and when we feel like we are crumbling. </i></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
Part of living in the present moment rather than the past or the future is finding strength for the moment. I find my moment by moment strength in Christ. On my own I could not bear the weight of chronic illness, the fatigue, or the uncertainty. Some may not agree with this point of view [ I'm okay with that. ] but there is great strength in the Lord. Seeking Him daily for your moment by moment strength with bolster you like nothing else can. God is good in the pain. God is good in the relief. You will not be crushed</div>

Life can throw trials our way that often seem too difficult to weather. Finding the good in the midst of suffering or heartache will feel impossible. From one who has suffered [ and continues to struggle daily ] let me just tell you - it is not impossible and there is good to be found and cherished in the midst of those hardships. Seek God's strength, make the most of today, and be more than your suffering.</div>

<h3>
Do Keep Your Ring Clean</h3>
</div>
<div>
To keep your diamond sparkling, clean it regularly to remove everyday dust/dirt, skin oils, and lotions. All of which cloud your diamond. You can soak your ring in warm water and mild dish soap, and scrub gently with a soft bristle toothbrush. Any brand name jewelry cleaner is a great option!</div>
<div>
Of course, you can always take your ring to a jeweler to have it professionally cleaned if you're not comfortable cleaning it yourself. Once every 6 months is a good timeframe. </div>
<div>

<h3>
Do Purchase Insurance </h3>
<div>
Your engagement ring is an investment. It is important to protect that investment in the event that it gets damaged, lost, or stolen [ <i>heaven forbid!</i> ]. Getting the right jewelry coverage for your diamond ring is so important! Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company specializes solely in jewelry, so you can have peace of mind knowing that you get an extra level of protection that goes beyond what may be covered in typical homeowner's or renters's insurance. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Bonus Tip:</b> Have your ring appraised every five years or so as the cost of precious metals and diamonds goes up. The value of lost ring that was appraised 10 years ago would be far less than the actual replicant cost. So make sure you have your ring appraised!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<h3>
Do Schedule A Maintenance Appointment</h3>
</div>
<div>
It is so important to have regular maintenance done on your ring. Schedule an appointment with your jeweler at least once a year or every three months if your ring sees a lot of wear and tear. Your jeweler will make sure the prongs of your ring are tight and the diamond isn't loose, as well as, checking for any hairlines cracks in the shank of the ring.</div>

<h3>
Don't Remove Your Ring [ And Set It Down ] In Public</h3>
</div>
<div>
Removing your ring and setting it on top of the sink can be tempting when washing your hands in public, but this is a recipe for disaster. The chances of you walking out without your gem are very high. Steer clear of this temptation! If you must remove your ring, place it in the pocket of your purse. If you do forget to put it back on before you leave, your mind can rest easy knowing that it is still in your possession.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Don't Expose Your Ring To Harsh Chemicals</h3>
<div>
Remove your ring whenever you perform tasks that require interaction with harsh chemicals [ often found in household cleaners ], scrub the bathroom, or wash the dishes. These tasks erode the setting and dull the finish of the ring.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Bonus Tip:</b> Before you wash the dishes, remove your ring and put it in a safe place. Setting your ring on the windowsill or the counter can result in a heartbreaking slip that sends your ring tumbling down the drain! Don't take the risk.<br />

I hope your week is off to a spectacular start! Austin and I hit the town this past weekend - which really means that we got milkshakes + mochaccinos, played around in some palm fronds, and wandered downtown. We're such party animals ;). We have been so busy knocking out renovations at the condo. A relaxed weekend was just what we needed to recharge and get back in the renovation game this week.<br />

The temps are very up and down lately. This weekend was a chilly one and I jumped on the opportunity to get in one last cool weather outfit. The clothes say fall but my heart says spring! I really love pairing contrasting patterns together, and this combo has to be the most fun to wear. I snagged this leopard long sleeve tee and this cropped stripe jacket a few seasons ago from LOFT. Pieces that you can wear for several seasons are wardrobe essentials in my book. </div>

<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Create A Set Color Palette</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Decide on the color palette for your party and stick to it. Choose two main coordinating colors and an accent color to add a pop. Stick with this color palette within the flowers, table settings, and signage!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Play With Varying Heights</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Creating a tablescape that looks like you spent hours on starts with creating planes for the eye to fall on. Arrange your greenery and flowers at various heights to create instant visual interest!</span><br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 11pt; margin-right: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Get Creative With Place Cards</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have fun with the place cards that you use! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. I picked up a simple letter banner and used the individual letters as initial place cards for each guest. Each lettered panel is bold, so they catch the eye and bring a classy personal touch to each setting!</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. Keep The Food Simple & Sophisticated</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cooking for someone is a delicious expression of love.

<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. Do Provide Beverage Options</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Always provide two to three beverage options for your guests. Provide one water station and one other alternative like sweet iced black tea, fresh lemonade, sparkling juice, or a naturally flavored tonic water.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re having a sweets-only party, give guests the option of coffee or assorted hot chocolate!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">6. Add Signage Where You Can</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is great to add playful signage where you can. Place labels by the savories and sweets or add welcome signage on the table to make the party feel even more personal. You can find beautiful printable party signage templates to print out that are very affordable!</span><br />

<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">7. Don’t Give Too Many Options</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Less is more when it comes to a party menu. Keep the menu simple and wow guests with a delicious main dish, complemented with two lighter sides and two dessert options.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">8. Build From Basics</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep a set of basic white plates and simple drinkware on hand to build any tablescape upon.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Don’t overthink the party plan. Decide on the color palette, food and beverages, and any special elements, like signage, that you want to use. Keep it simple and have fun!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Don’t wait till the day of the party to prepare all of the food. Prepare the dishes that can be refrigerated the night before, and set them out 30 minutes before serving to come to room temperature. Anything that needs to be served warm should be warmed in the oven on low heat and pulled out 5 minutes before serving. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can never go wrong with macaroni and cheese, especially when you bring in savory and spicy elements like turkey bacon and jalapeños and pair them with </span><a href="http://cbi.as/6ipx6" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; color: #bf9000; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Borden® Cheese</span></a><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Southwest Pepper Jack Singles and Borden® Cheese Triple Cheddar Shreds. I popped over to Walmart and found the Borden® Cheese that I needed to make this life changing Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese with Roasted Jalapeños and Turkey Bacon, but check out this </span><a href="http://bordencheese.com/store-locator/" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; color: #bf9000; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">store locator</span></a><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to see where to find Borden® Cheese near you. Every bite is smooth, creamy, gooey, and a little spicy. Your favorite childhood dish just got a grown up facelift that will blow you mind.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have always believed that cooking for someone is a decadent expression of love. You pour your heart and creativity into creating something that they will enjoy and savor with abandon. This mac & cheese is no exception - it is love, savored in every bite! I'm super picky about the cheese that I like to use when I cook. For this dish I used my favorite Borden® Cheese blends. There are many varying flavors that I really like using in dishes to build full, layered flavor profiles. Life is good when there is cheese involved. Am I right or am I RIGHT!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">I combined Borden® Cheese Triple Cheddar Shreds and Borden® Cheese Southwest Pepper Jack Singles to make a silky full flavored cheese sauce that will blow your taste-buds out of the water.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Instructions.</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;">Roughly chop turkey bacon and slice jalapeño peppers. Remove some seeds to make the jalapeño flavor more mild.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Step 1.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b> </b>Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add in chopped turkey bacon and fry until golden and crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain. Reserve 2 tbsp. to fold into mac & cheese.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Step 2.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b> </b>In the same skillet, add in jalapeño slices and gentle roast them in the bacon drippings - about 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Step 3.</b> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cook gluten free pasta according to package instructions - reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drain and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Step 4.</b> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a large dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add the gluten free flour to melted butter. Cook for about 3 minutes to create a roux -whisking continuously. While continuing to whisk, add in 2 cups of milk and reduce heat to low-medium. Bring roux/milk mixture to a gentle boil, whisking continually. Sauce will slightly thicken.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add in Borden® Cheese Triple Cheddar Shreds and Borden® Cheese Southwest Pepper Jack Singles, whisking until the cheese is completely melted in. Whisk in chicken stock, cayenne pepper, and white pepper. Whisk until well combined and the cheese sauce is smooth.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remove from the heat.</span><br />

Vulnerability if often the first thing that we look for in others, but the last thing that we want others to see in us. How beautiful it is to release those chains of fear that hold us back from showing others who we really are - the good, the bad, weakness, and strength. Today I am getting more personal with this post - plus I am sharing a few encouragements to help you face/embrace vulnerability with courage.</div>

The Truth About Vulnerability</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Vulnerability is something that we often do not want to show, but we need to. We need vulnerability from others, and we need to be vulnerable with others. Vulnerability is a very important link in the chain of relationships. Without it, do we truly know one another? To be vulnerable is to trust and entrust the hidden parts of our being to another for safe keeping - be it a friend or significant other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The truth is that I was terrified of being vulnerable, of being seen, for such a long time. Opening yourself up completely gives others the power to hurt you, and that, well, that at times seemed unbearable. The funny thing though is that I love being a confidant to others. I want to know their heart and their hurt.. I want vulnerability from others but struggle at times to open up in the same way. I have learned though that vulnerability frees you to experience the deepest love and greatest joy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The reality is that we are <i>all</i> vulnerable, no matter how hard we try to hide it away. The truth is this: vulnerability does open us up to hurt, to disappointment, to heartbreak - but without vulnerability we cannot experience some of the greatest joys, and the most vibrant parts of life. Vulnerability faces fear with defiance, accepting the possibility of attack, and believing in the potential of shelter in another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Understanding what vulnerability really means for us is the first step in breaking free from the fear of it. Remember that vulnerability is courage with tenderness. </div>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let Go Of Control</h3>
<div>
Acknowledging our imperfections, and accepting them helps us let go of the need to control how others view us. Part of not wanting to be vulnerable is not wanting to be seen for who we really are. Letting go of that control frees us to embrace being vulnerable with those close to us in life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We all get hurt. Period. End of story. But you know what? We make it through the pain, and we grow stronger. Hurt doesn't end us. Do not let the fear of potential momentary pain hinder you from experiencing the deep love and friendship that vulnerability builds. </div>

One Small Step In The right Direction</h3>
<div>
Being vulnerable doesn't happen overnight. And we certainly do not have to bare the entirety of our soul in one sitting. Being vulnerable starts out in the simplest form; acknowledging someone else's pain and sympathizing with them is a beautiful example of allowing yourself to be vulnerable without baring it all:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>" I had a similar experience. It was a really difficult time for me, but I worked through it overtime. It's hard right now, I know. I'm here if you want to vent and share your heart. "</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Just like that, you are vulnerable. You show your heart, without baring it all, and in the process you give your friend or loved one the freedom to be completely open and vulnerable themselves. One small step in the right direction is better than a massive jump. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take your time opening up.. Rome wasn't built in a day. Just take one small step.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Hello hello my sweet friends! I hope your Valentine's Day was simply magical. Austin and I stuck to our 'married couple' ways and sat on the couch eating salads from Moe's to celebrate our love. Ha! He did surprise me with a sweet bouquet of flowers and my favorite dark chocolate covered nuts - So he won major brownie points for that ;)</div>

I feel like I am on a role with these style posts. I adore sharing many things here on TNL; artisan recipes, self care advice, faith - but style posts have to be the most fun! I have never been one to follow trends [ though I do enjoy a few of them ]. I would much rather dress just the way that suits me, on trend or not. That's how we all should approach style!</div>

I absolutely love dressing up for date nights with Austin, and this <a href="http://www.tobi.com/dresses/blue-dresses/61728-tobi-look-around-shift-dress?color_id=88916" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">navy shift dress</a> from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tobi </a>is the perfect piece to dress up or down for an easy breezy date night look. The large cutouts are perfect for showing off a fun cami or taking a more chic subtle route - I took that route and stuck to a simple black cami. This dress also comes in the most gorgeous camel color that I will eventually cave in and buy! You can totally have the same dress in different colors ;) I will link this dress below! </div>

This is completely off topic, but who else runs on coffee? If Red Bull gives you wings, a properly brewed shot of espresso will turn you into a majestic pegasus. There may come a day when I do not indulge in a full-caf dairy free mochaccino.. but it is not this day! I would love to know what your signature brew is - share it with me in the comments so I can give it a try.</div>

Happy Monday everyone!! I am so excited and it is for perhaps the cheesiest reason possible. Austin and I celebrated our 1 year courtship anniversary yesterday! Aren't anniversaries for married people? No matter - we celebrated with brick oven pizza plus milkshakes downtown, and a painfully boring movie to cap things off. If that's not married couple behavior, I don't know what is.<br />
<br />
Speaking of getting married.. I have officially started walking down the wedding planning path! I have an actual wedding planner and everything [ Hi Kirsten! ]. I am only two meetings into the process and I have already learned some things about myself. Mainly, I am not meant to plan things. Ha! I know that this process is supposed to be fun, but, I am over here stressing out. <i>It's what I do best, friends. </i><br />

I popped on this ultra comfy <a href="http://www.tobi.com/dresses/sweater-dresses#color_id=87367" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">oversized sweater dress</a> from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tobi</a> for our afternoon anniversary date! You can never go wrong with a sweater dress - Even in 70 degree weather.. with tights. I was committed to looking cold, y'all! Haha. I got this dress from Tobi about two weeks ago and I adore it! It's so comfy and soft. I am linking two other colors below! A good sweater dress is a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down, and if lightweight enough, can be worn year round.<br />
<br />
Side note: After three years of friendship, one year of courting, and now engagement, I've learned that Austin can be bribed with a milkshake to do anything photoshoot/blog related - as seen in the 'milkshake euphoria' picture above ;)<br />
<br />
He's such a good sport!<br />

It can also be a little bit of a curse. Living in and working from the same space leaves no room for dropping work stress at the door. As an entrepreneur/blogger I know the challenges of working from home all too well. Maintaining work-life balance as a home based professional is essential in being productive and finding joy in your work.<br />

4 Ways To Improve Work-Life Balance As A Home Based Entrepreneur </h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Create A Designated Work Space</h3>
<div>
<div style="font-size: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Commit to only doing work in a defined workspace, like an office or other sectioned off area within your house. Designating a 'work only' space will help you create a more productive work environment!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have an office space in your house that is in a separate room, shut the door at the end of the day. Separation is key. </span></div>
</div>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Create A Work Free 'Safe Zone'</h3>
<div>
Just as you need a designated space to work in, you also need a designated space to relax in. Creating a space that makes you feel peaceful and revived is simple and wildly beneficial to your overall productivity. I like to call this space a 'safe zone'. This is a space free of work - no phone calls, no emails, no brainstorming blog post or photoshoot ideas. Don't even think about checking Instagram! ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Build a space that makes you feel cozy and peaceful, filling it with artwork, greenery, and accessories that exemplify who you are. One of the best ways to relieve stress is to bask in a little sunshine. So create your cozy work free <i>safe zone</i> near a window, allowing all of that feel good sunlight to pour into the space!</div>
<div>
<br />
Grab your favorite book and allow yourself to unplug.</div>

One of my favorite pieces in my work free space is a hand-painted watercolor feather by <a href="http://www.andrealace.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Andrea Lace</a>. Her work is breathtaking - breathing life into any area that it graces. It is is amazing how one piece, be it a painting, trinket or otherwise, can have such an impact on the way that we feel. Glancing over at that metallic gold dusted painting always makes me smile.<br />
<br />

<h3>
Set Boundaries For Yourself</h3>
<div>
Although being connected and communicative with your readership/clients is important, it is equally as important to <i>shut off </i>when your workday ends. This is difficult to do when you work from home, but it is SO important. Designate a block of time in your workday to answer emails, make phone calls, reach out to potential partners/tie up any loose ends with clients, and create content. When the allotted time for each task is up, step away and move on to the next task. When the workday ends - you're done! Cut yourself off right there.<br />
<br />
If you can manage your time wisely from the start you will not end up needing to work overtime. Make a schedule, stick to it, and STOP working when the workday is over. Create clear boundaries for yourself and leave all work tasks in your office! </div>

Take Breaks </h3>
<br />
A huge obstacle to work-life balance as a home based entrepreneur / professional is feeling <i>trapped </i>is your own home. You can easily find yourself cooped up at home for a few days at a time.<br />
<br />
Get up every hour or so to stretch your legs and take a few minutes for yourself. Grab a proper lunch or brew a refreshing cup of your favorite tea. Do something that relaxes your mind for a few minutes, or makes you laugh.<br />

Let's talk being an introvert. As a longtime <i>classic</i> introvert, let me just say, we are an underestimated branch of personalty. We may be quiet, and unassuming, but, we are powerhouses. We're like sodas - all of that hidden potential is right there waiting to burst forth.. you just have to give us a little shake.<br />
<br />
Bad analogy? I'm rolling with it!<br />
<br />
Being introverted doesn't mean that we are boring, that we are disinterested, or that we're aloof. We're just quiet, and acquire energy from alone time. Extroverted introversion is a real thing too, ya'll. You can be a classic introvert in your general disposition, but be more extroverted when you're with those you are comfortable with. Especially in small numbers.<br />
<br />
Read on for some tidbits of advice from one introvert to another! Plus a little style inspiration for your next date night.<br />

There is a misconception that introverts are not good at socializing with others and that they don't like people. That could not be further from the truth. Unlike extroverts, who thrive on interactions with people, we introverts don't derive our energy from others. We find our inspiration and energy from within ourselves, and some much needed time alone.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Embrace The Exhaustion //</span></b><br />
Listen, people drain the life right out you if you're an introvert. It's not a matter of not caring about people, or disliking them - we just get our energy from being alone. We're like a rechargeable battery. We simply need to be alone in a quiet space to recharge ourselves.<br />
<br />
Don't fight who you are to please other people or to live up to pressures that you put on yourself. Embrace the exhaustion and take the time you need for yourself. There is no shame in it! Don't push yourself to be more energetic or lively, or to keep going when you start to feel burned out. Be quiet when need to be, bow out gracefully when you've had your fill of fun with friends, flop on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and ignore the world for an hour. Do whatever recharges your introverted battery!<br />
<br />
And don't let those extroverts shame you either. We love them [ I'm marrying one! ] but they just don't get it. Go recharge yourself girl!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Do Try Something New //</span></b><br />
Since we introverts tend to be homebodies [ remember that socializing is exhausting thing? ] we sometimes forget to take the opportunity to try something new. Stepping out of our comfort zone is contrary to our disposition! Trying something new is a wonderful thing for introverts. It helps us break the habit of willingly being in a rut. We see and hear so much as introverts, being listeners by nature. Finding new ways to foster our minds and creativity keeps our internal battery charged and can even bring out some extroverted moments.<br />
<br />
The most important thing: Do something that brings you joy. Try watercolor painting or play around in the kitchen with a recipe you've been dying to try. Knit a sweater! Hey, I didn't say you had to leave your house.. just try something <i>new</i> ;)<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Laughter Is Good For The Soul //</span></b><br />
Melancholy is the hallmark of introverts. It's not that we're unhappy, we're just.. brooding. This isn't a fault! Some of our best creative moments come from our wistful melancholia. It is important though to take time to open a window in that melancholia and find release in laughter. <br />
<br />
Our brooding nature isn't a bad thing, but, there are pros and cons to any aspect of a personalty. It is the cons that force us to grow in life, and in that they are a good thing! Growth is never negative. Since we are melancholy we can find ourselves feeling downright depressed sometimes. Laughter is a beautiful counter balance to this, and though it is good for everyone to laugh with abandon, it is most especially a treasure for introverts.<br />
<br />
So laugh often! Laugh with your love, laugh with a good friend, laugh alone dancing around in your kitchen to your favorite song!<br />

Guys are notorious for dressing more casually than we would like. Granted, there are times when Saturday afternoon casual is totally fine. We get yoga pants, they get sweats. Sometimes guys need a little encouragement to step up their fashion game. So today I am sharing 4 Ways To Help Your Guy Dress Better. <br />
<br />
When I first met Austin his style was.. painfully atrocious. <i>I love you honey</i>. In the three years that we have known each other his style has grown leaps and bounds! I happily admit that I've had a hand in his wardrobe improvements. Helping your husband or boyfriend dress better is easier than you think. With a little support and encouragement you can help your guy reach his full style potential! Read on for four easy ways to help your guy dress better + a spectacular giveaway to get his wardrobe headed in the right direction!<br />
<br />
By the way - Say hello to Mr. A. This stud of a man is making his first official appearance on the blog today. I have to say, his modeling skills aren't half bad ;)<br />

<b>Words Of Encouragement Will Get You Far //</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Guys love it when we think they look good, and they love it when we tell them so. Give your guy a little ego boost and compliment him when he looks dapper. Encouraging an attractive and positive outfit choice is always a better path to take than complaining about the shirt, jeans, or jacket that we don't like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boost his ego. He'll naturally gravitate more toward the articles of clothing that illicit a positive reaction from you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Understand What Makes Him Comfortable //</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A sharp button down and a pair of slacks is a swoon worthy ensemble - Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man. Your guy can't walk around like that all of the time though. Guys want to be comfortable. Period. End of story. Ask your guy why those jeans are his favorite. Why that shirt is his go-to. Seek to understand what makes him comfortable and encourage him to wear more refined peices that fit the comfort bill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Austin has rather large arms and shoulders, so he doesn't feel comfortable wearing more slim fitted shirts like polos. That doesn't mean that he has to wear a ratty, stretched out t-shirt. Finding a happy medium with a comfort fit knit tee, sweater, or button down that gives him room to move, but also looks zipped up, is the perfect solution!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Remember, you're not out to change your guy.. just nudge him in a more mutually satisfying, stylish direction. Understand what makes him comfortable and help him find pieces that make the cut.</div>

<b>Surprise Him With Stylish Staples //</b><br />
Look, guys hate shopping. It's downright painful for them. Surprise him with a staple piece - casual button down, a trendy jacket, a classic mens watch. Picking up a staple piece like a unique watch or a snazzy belt as a gift will help build up his debonair wardrobe. He'll appreciate what you give him because it's a gift and he'll love that you think he looks like a stud in his new duds.<br />
<br />
Austin is wearing a really unique <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/frankie/zebrawood-and-navy/#thenoshlifeblog" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">zebrawood watch</a> that I picked up for him as a staple accessory. He loves it. I love it. We both win! I got this watch from <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop/men/#thenoshlifeblog" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jord</a> and he thinks it's really cool. It's easy for him to wear with a casual outfit or dress up for a date night with me - like you see here. Start with a piece like this then ease him into tees, jeans, and jackets!<br />
<br />
<b>Out With The Old, Replace with The New //</b><br />
As you bring in new clothing pieces for your guy remove the more worn, dated, or downright unflattering pieces. You're not just purging his closest of the things that you hate - You're bringing in newer, fresher replacements!<br />
<br />
A word of caution: don't do this under his nose. Show him the new piece that you picked up for him to wear and tell him what it replaces. Be excited about it! Chances are he'll be excited too. Remember, he wants to know that you think he looks good! If you replace an old piece with a new gifted piece he'll feel thought of and be eager to look dashing for you.<br />

Just casually lookin' like a bumble bee in this comfy weekender outfit. Austin and I love wandering around downtown on the weekends - popping into shops to browse around, and sipping on tea floats from a local market. It is our time to just be together and forget about the work week. Don't you love those days!?<br />
<br />
Tea floats are outrageously good by the way. If you ever have the opportunity to try one.. DO IT. They are made by combining sweet tea with frozen sorbet of varying flavors - lemon is my favorite. The sorbet is dropped in just like ice cream in a ice cream float. It's like sippin' on heaven.<br />

I have to admit, this past weekend was a dream. Austin and I went over to "our" new condo. Technically, I won't live there for another year - when we're married. That won't stop me from decorating the mess out of that place! We measured the space for living room furniture and tossed around some decor ideas. Or maybe I just bombarded Austin with pinterest inspiration. I can't really say ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I honestly still can't believe that we're engaged. I haven't shared much about it, but, I am becoming increasingly excited as the weeks tick by. I keep thinking "I get to marry this man!!".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I think that with double exclamation point level excitement..</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being able to spend these days with my guy is an absolute treasure. I have walked thorough the forrest of singleness, wandering sometimes in fear and tears, and often in loneliness. Though my God was never far from me. And now He has placed this man in my path for the rest of my life. I get to spend my days sipping tea floats and growing in love with a precious man. These days are sweet, friends. So sweet.</div>

If you are still walking through the forrest of singleness, take heart! It is a painful journey at times, and so often a lonely one. Our hearts are meant to pair up. Seek God in your singleness and live fully! Do the things that bring you joy, take a risk, cry when it hurts, and prepare. Prepare your heart for the day when that man walks across your path by finding contentment where you are right now and pursuing the life that God knit you so uniquely for. You are whole without your future husband. Life will just be all the sweeter with him.<br />

I am back at it with the sweets you guys. I absolutely love dark chocolate [ in case you didn't notice from <i>every</i> chocolate recipe on TNL ]. I eat at least a square of true dark chocolate a day. I like to believe that the antioxidants outweigh the fact that it's not a vegetable. Eat all the antioxidant rich chocolate! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>Instructions //</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 1.</b> In a double boiler, warm chocolate until melted - about 5 minutes. Add in instant espresso powder, stirring until fully infused into chocolate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000;">Tip:</span> To make your own double boiler, place a metal or heat proof glass bowl over a small pot filled with one inch of simmering water. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 2.</b> Dip pretzels completely into melted chocolate - working in batches. Using a fork, or skewer, remove pretzels one at a time - shaking off excess chocolate - and place on parchment lined baking sheet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 3. </b>Allow pretzels to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000; text-align: left;">Tip: </span>Sprinkle pretzels with sea salt or a touch of espresso powder - before the chocolate sets - to punch the flavor up more!</i></div>

Christmas may be over but I'm not ready to give up my holiday sweets! Molasses cookies [ or gingerbread ] have long been a favorite of mine. They somehow taste like winter. If seasons could have a flavor, winter's would definitely be molasses. Austin and I made cutout <i>gingerbread</i> cookies, for the first time ever, from scratch for the holidays. It was a grand adventure - mostly in my patience. I seriously love rolling dough out y'all. Sharing the rolling pin is not my strongest point ;)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">To make these delicious molasses cookies simply mix up the dough, then let it chill thoroughly in the fridge. Chilling the dough overnight is the very best, but, in a pinch you can chill the dough for 1 hour and then proceed with the baking! Chilling the dough ensures that the cookies</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> don’t puff up and spread out while baking. After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">and break out your</span> favorite<span style="font-family: inherit;"> cookie cutters!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><b>Instructions.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sift together flour, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl. Set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 1. </b>With a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together on medium-high speed until they form light and fluffy paste - about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and molasses. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Gradually add in the flour mixture one cup at time, and beat on low speed until combined. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="color: #bf9000;">Tip: </span><span style="color: #323232;">This dough becomes quite thick so you may need to finish working in the last bit of the flour mixture with your hands. If your hand mixer can handle it finish the dough with the beaters.</span></i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 2.</b> Divide the dough in half and form each half into a round ball. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 3.</b> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;"><i>When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350°F.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;">Remove the dough from the refrigerator and set out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Place one half of the dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly until it is about 1/8-inch thick. You may need to re-flour your rolling pin during the process. Grab your favorite cookie cutters to cut the dough into your desired shapes. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;">Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #bf9000; font-family: inherit;">Tip:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: inherit;"> Sprinkle tops of cookies with brown sugar for extra crunch and sweetness.</span></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 4. </b>Bake until crisp but not too dark - 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #323232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #323232; font-family: inherit;">Decorate to your heart's content!</span><br />

Who says this recipe is only for the holidays? Bake up a batch of these cocoa molasses cookies anytime. Add in chocolate chips and drop them on a baking sheet like any other cookie! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a cold glass of milk anytime of the year!</div>

Happy December, loves! I don't know about you, but, I like to go a little overboard with the holiday decor. Every year I take on a diy decor project! This year I employed Austin to help me. He makes incredible paper snowflakes - He puts me absolutely to shame! You wouldn't know it if you met him, but he has quite a crafty side to him.<br />
<br />
This year's theme for the dining room is woodland wonderland. Shimmering browns, rich greens, and a little sparkling critter or two make our dining room feel chilly and inviting all at the same time!<br />

We had the most wonderful time decorating this year. The woodland theme added a nice pop of green to the dining room, and the hand-cut snowflakes add whimsy that my nieces adore. It is the perfect blend of magical and classy!<br />
<br />
All of the woodland goodies came from T. J. Maxx except for the ornaments. I snagged those at Walmart for a very fair price. They are plastic so I don't have to worry about shattered colorful glass on my tiled floor. If you have littles in the house plastic ornaments are the way to go! Those shiny sparkling wonders are simply irresistible to little eyes and hands.<br />
<br />
<i>Did you decorate your whole house this year? Do love a fun diy holiday decor project?</i><br />
<br />
With love,<br />

It has been a little over a week since Austin asked me to marry him [ did that really happen!? ] and I am finally ready to share a little gallery, from my point of view, from that day. It was such a special day! I wish that I could relive it over and over again. I didn't take too many photos - I was a little distracted ;) - but I managed to capture a few images from lunch, the beautiful grounds/Christmas decorations, and of course my sweet Austin.<br />
<br />
Pro engagement tip for all of the guys out there: Feed your girlfriend really fattening delicious food before popping the question. You're guaranteed a <i>yes! </i>Just kidding. Kind of ;)<br />
<br />
A huge thank you to a very sneaky and sweet friend, Shannia, for capturing the pictures of that special moment [ above ]!<br />

<br />
Thank you for allowing me to share such a special day with you! These pictures make my heart skip with joy. If you are still single and waiting for your engagement day, take heart. The waiting can be so hard and lonely at times [ I know that all too well ], but sweet friend, God has not forgotten you. Be patient, be prayerful, and remain steadfast. God's timing is utterly perfect and He cares deeply for your heart.<br />
<br />
With so much love,<br />

<span style="color: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat oven to 375˚. Grease loaf pan on all sides. Set aside. Split pumpkin seeds - 1 cup to fold in and 1/2 cup for topping.</span></span><br />

Set aside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><b>Step 2.</b> </span><span style="color: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;">In a medium bowl, c</span></span><span style="color: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ombine </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">pumpkin, sugars, butter, and apple butter and beat until fluffy.</span></span><span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Add eggs one at a time, beating just until the egg disappears.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: inherit;"><b style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Step 3.</b><b style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"> </b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Add flour mixture to butter/sugar mixture in thirds. Beat until just combined.

<span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.5px; text-align: inherit;"><b>Step 5</b>.

I gotta say, there are few things I despise so much as jeans. Ha! I am a leggings girl all the way! When that winter chill dances through the air I make a mad dash for my legging collection. It's bad, I know. The trick with leggings is finding tops that are long enough to cover the rear. We don't want the bushy tail on display! ;)</div>

I love mixing things up, pairing pieces together that you wouldn't think to put together at first. I absolutely love outfits that are fairly neutral contrasted against a bold nautical element. It's those little touches that make an outfit <i>yours </i>and not just trendy!<i> </i></div>

This look is crazy comfortable and quite easy to dress up or down. I actually wore this to Thanksgiving dinner with knee boots. Red works for Thanksgiving too, right! December is the perfect month to break out the jewel tones - tops, pants, scarves, you name it! Jewel tones rule this month, and personally I think they are gorgeous!</div>

On a side note - I recently had copper highlights + lowlights put in my hair and now my hair has multiple personalities! I swear that my hair changes color depending on the lighting. Sometimes I'm strawberry blonde, sometimes downright red. Then there are the ash blonde days. If you are a redhead please share your favorite color safe shampoo in the comments! I need to be proactive in maintaining these rosy locks. </div>

A messy low ponytail is chic, whether you have shorter hair or long. This tutorial is so easy, I love it! This hairstyle has quickly become a favorite of mine. I rarely straighten out my curls. When I do straighten my hair, I love pulling it back in a casual hairstyle like this. It keeps my hair out of my face all day without giving me a headache!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 2.</b> Melt 2 tbsp. of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Cook turkey, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until brown. Add in the onion, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and paprika and cook until softened. Add in white grape juice and cook until almost evaporated [ about 5 minutes ]. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 3.</b> In a small bowl, whish together chicken broth and gluten free flour. Add broth/flour mixture and kale into pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce is thickened [ 8-10 minutes ]. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a 10” pie dish or cast iron skillet. Let cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><b>Gain Perspective.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Overcoming doubt starts with our perspective about God; who He is, what He has done for us, and what He continues to do. There have been so many times over the past five years that I have felt forgotten by God. The truth though was that I had forgotten Him. I had forgotten His sovereignty and His mercy. I had forgotten to seek Him. Peace drifted away as doubt washed in, covering my heart in a haze. I learned through the ebb and flow of uncertainty that my peace comes from the Lord. This is true for all of us. Security that washes away our doubts is rooted in the Lord.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Doubt and fear can encompass many different things - fear of the future, doubt about your purpose, uncertainty in your job, your relationship, and even doubt that hopes will become a reality. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Remember in your doubt/fear that God works things out for His glory and our good. You are not forgotten by God, you are not alone in the void. Set your heart and your mind on Him and seek His peace - You will find it in abundance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><b>Confide In Someone.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">This is such a difficult thing to do [ at least it is for me ], but, it is an important step to take in dealing with doubt. So often we bottle up what we feel, especially when we are experiencing feelings of doubt or fear about our life, our purpose, important decisions, circumstances etc. The temptation to weather our fearful doubts alone can be powerful. There can be shame or fear of being seen too deeply. This is something that I find incredibly difficult. I like to be viewed as a strong woman - and I am strong. I am also weak at times. I hurt and I weep. I am a broken sinful </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">human</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"> being who needs God as much as anyone else. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Overcoming doubt and fear begins with letting someone else in. Confide in a woman that you trust. Pour out your fears, pour out the doubt that you feel, and let that release wash over you. Holding in all of those negative emotions wears us down overtime. So uncork the bottle that is your feelings and pour them out on the trusted ear of a friend. The freedom and release that it will bring will refresh your weary heart immensely.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><b>Realize What You Are Not.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">You are not your fear. Fear/doubt and uncertainty are emotions that we experience, but, they are not who we are and they do not define us. It is easy to identify with our fear rather than see it as a feeling that we are experiencing for a time. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">When I am in the midst of battling doubt and fear I often feel like that is all that there is. I become my emotions, wearing them like a second skin or a mask over the heart of who I am. Realizing what is true, and that I am not my uncertainty, completely changes my </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">perspective</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"> and gives me a renewed positivity!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Take hold of what is real and tangible. Let go of wearing emotions by choosing to see the truth - You have a unique purpose, your hopes will come to fruition with hard work, you are more </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">capable than you believe, and you are strong. Embrace the positive! Emotions can take a strong hold if we give them power. Choose joy and positivity. Life is hard, yes, but it is a beautiful journey to be embraced and savored with joy, not withered by fear and doubt.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"><b>Take Time for Yourself.</b></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">Uncertainty flourishes when we are worn thin. Make time to step back and take care of yourself, even for just a few minutes. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">For me, listening to music or going for a run [ or both! ] helps me clear my mind and completely relax. I have learned to take the time necessary to unplug and allow peaceful ease to settle in. Without my '</span><i style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">me time</i><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;">' I would be more susceptible to the doubts and fears that try to bring me down.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6000000238418579px;"> Renewing our minds, hearts and bodies is essential to overcoming doubt! A healthy, positive outlook begins with a rested mind and heart, alongside strength of body. Foster peaceful positivity by setting aside time to relax, in whatever form that takes for you [ exercise, reading, coffee with a friend..] and truly refresh.</span><br />

I didn't think that I would get to say this so soon - it is cold in South Carolina! I could not be happier. Once sweater weather hits you can find me wearing one of three sweaters - constantly. Before the full sweater mania hit [ too late ] I had to get this little chartreuse number out of my system and share the outfit details from my shoot with Austin last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Full disclosure - it was stinking chilly when we did this shoot. I promptly went home and put on a sweater. No surprise there, right!</div>

I bought this green dress from H&M on a shopping trip a few months ago and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces. It is so easy to dress up or down, and it is thin enough to wear during the summer too. I'm actually really excited to wear this dress as an over-jacket with a pair of black ponte leggings, booties, and a neutral blouse!<br />

There is nothing that I love more than saving money. Don't we all love that! I picked this dress up for $15 - a steal in my book. I bought a few other pieces between $10/$12, all of which have become staples in my wardrobe. I don't often shop at H&M, but, when I do I never regret it!<br />
<br />
This green chartreuse dress was a risky buy for me. I find that richer colors are more complimentary to my fair skin tone. I couldn't pass this dress up though! It is so fun and versatile.<br />

How are you this month, this week, this day? What has been on your heart lately? Life has been very full around here - full of nerves, full of excitement, full of hope for the future. There are many changes on the horizon for me. These changes are not bad, but, they are stretching me. I am ready for change [ though I need to ease into it ] and ready to embrace a new chapter!<br />
<br />
This new installment on The Nosh Life is a way for me to connect more with <i>you</i>. I love sharing recipes, encouragement, and outfits with y'all - I want to also share the chapters of my life behind the blog. I desire to know more about the reader on the other side of the screen too! I want to know your mind, your heart, your hurt, your triumphs! As I share a little more about my life & some TNL updates, I hope that you feel you know me better, that you can connect/relate, and that you have a friendly ear to listen and care about your life too!<br />
<br />
Read on for some life updates, recent posts, and content I'm loving from fellow bloggers!<br />

<b>This Past Week & New Happenings //</b><br />
• Austin is in the final stages of getting a condo! We found a darling condo in a great community - this condo will <i>our</i> home in a little under two years and his bachelor pad until then. I intend to decorate it like I live there ;)<br />
<br />
• For the first time ever I actually know what I'm getting Austin for Christmas! This is a miracle as I am the worst gift giver.. Thank goodness for hints!<br />
<br />
• This past week I finally finished my photography portfolio! Photography is something that I have loved for many years. I have been so nervous taking the necessary steps to set up everything for my own photography business [ portfolio, email, social accounts, website ]. I am so excited to step out in faith [ with a lot of hard work to back it up! ] and build this business! I know there will be ups and downs, but, I am ready for those valleys and those mountain tops.<br />
<br />
• I have been working steadily behind the scenes to refine the categories here on The Nosh Life. Hopefully all of those categories will be updated by the end of the week!<br />
<br />
• I had my hair colored - It is now a warm shade of copper/red. I am a ginger and I love it! Can't wait to debut these rosy locks on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thenoshlife/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. #gingershavemorefun<br />
<br />
• I used to do an update post very much like this. I pulled away from it because I never felt like I had a handle on how to best share snippets of what goes on behind the blog/what happens outside of blog posts. Now I feel like I have a solid vision for this series and I am excited to share new chapters with you!<br />
<br />
• I have struggled with doubt over the years and recently that doubt has tried to creep back into my life. I am working through those feelings, conquering them, and overcoming their shadow. As I do, I am putting together a post about overcoming the chains of doubt. Keep an eye out for it this week!<br />

<br />
Happy Friday! This week has been so special. This past Saturday Austin and I celebrated a milestone in our relationship. We celebrated our 'almost engagement' with chai tea lattes & mochaccinos, and a fun afternoon in the most wonderful market/eatery. We're cheesy, I know! As old fashioned as it may seem, we have been waiting to take the next step in our relationship until Austin spoke to my father and received his blessing to move forward. I am twenty-five years old and I waited for my dad's approval to get engaged. I am not embarrassed or ashamed of it. I know not everyone will agree with the route that we have taken. We took it though because it was right for<i> us</i>. It feels like it has taken a lifetime to get to this point, but, we are finally here and we could not be more excited! I am now crossing off each day that passes and pleading for engagement day hints! Austin hasn't broken yet, but, I'll squeeze some details out of him eventually ;)<br />
<br />
As sweet as our relationship is, it is not always a smooth road. Over the course of our almost three year relationship we have weathered disappointments, pain, and hurt. Those things are simply a part of life, and a part of a relationship. You cannot have the triumph without the struggle.<br />
<br />

Today I want to share a few of the ways that Austin and I continue to cultivate our relationship and lay down a solid foundation for our future marriage.<br />
<br />
<b>Communicate Openly. </b><br />
Communicating clearly and openly is such a huge part of cultivating peace and stability in a relationship. Austin has shown me this through his own example of openness and transparency. Being able to share your heart and mind without restriction builds trust and maintains closeness. I am a work in progress in this area - I am naturally like a vault, my thoughts and feelings are locked securely away. It takes a lot to get me to open up - but that's the point, relationships are works in progress. They [ we ] never reach a point of being <i>finished</i>. Talk to each other, continue to work out the kinks, and continue to learn about each others hopes, dreams, and fears.<br />
<br />
<b>Pray With & For Each Other Daily. </b><br />
Praying together is a habit that Austin and I have laid down in the evenings. Whether it is praise or petition, we get down on our knees every evening and pray together. Austin took a leadership role in establishing this as a habit of our relationship. I am so glad that he did! One of the best ways that you can love each other is to pray for each other. Prayer has power - it has the power to sustain and transform your relationship [ married, engaged, or courting ].<br />

<b>Respect x Love.</b><br />
Men and women are different. No surprise there! We feel loved in different ways. As women, we feel loved through tender words, sweet touches, and thoughtful actions. Men equate respect and appreciation with love. Make a man feel respected and he'll lasso the moon for you. This is something that I have to remind myself about frequently. I often have to stop, re-evaluate if my words sound discounting or unappreciative, and take the initiative to ensure that Austin knows how much I appreciate his hard work, his leadership, and his purposeful loving actions toward me. Recognizing these differences and purposing to <i>love</i> each other according to each others unique needs is so important in creating a marriage foundation that is solid.<br />
<br />
<b>Have Fun & Laugh With Each Other.</b><br />
Find something that both of you enjoy and do that often! Life is filled with mundane days, bills to be paid, misunderstandings, stubbornness, and silly arguments. Take time to just be together, have fun, and connect. Going out for a fancy dinner is nice, but, it's not necessary to enjoy each others company or have a little fun and laugh. Laughter is good for the soul - laughing together is good for your relationship. Step outside the box - go bowling, explore the city on foot [ if you're able ], go for a walk, heck, go to an arcade. Austin and I went to an arcade recently to just relax and have a little good clean fun! We laughed, we flirted.. we connected. It may seem silly, but, sometimes it's the seemingly silly things that release you, even for just an hour, from the stresses of life; allowing you to laugh, to relax, and to connect with each other.<br />

<br />
Life is messy, friends. Sometimes we simple fail. Just last night I was in the car, riding to church with Austin, and I was anything but loving or open. I was a complete grump. I sat in my seat, staring out of the window, refusing to speak or be open about my day. I am so thankful for Austin's patience when my sinful nature rears its ugly head. He patiently loved me through those moments with understanding, even though he was frustrated. Let's face it, he had every right to be!<br />
<br />
We don't have to perfect to have a successful relationship/marriage. We just have to be real, to be patient, to forgive when there is no apology, to seek God, to laugh, and to passionately pursue each other with a heart of unconditional love and commitment.<br />
<br />
<i>What ways do you cultivate your relationship [ married or otherwise ]? Any tips that your would share to build a strong foundation for marriage?</i><br />

With love,<br />
