2nd & 3rd Trimesters with Baby Poe #3

Honestly, I just haven’t felt like pregnancy has been very glamorous this go-around and haven’t felt like sharing much. I always wished I would have started this blog before when I was pregnant with the boys because I am typically an open book and love to share real life with you. I love to share my outfits and shopping deals…

Teeth Whitening with Smile Brilliant

I smile big.  It honestly just comes naturally and if anything, when being photographed, people have told me to tone it down some! Haha! I love being happy and spreading happiness through my smile and I went through a lot, like many people, to get this smile.  I had braces when I was in high school, but besides that I…

Overcoming the Excuses

So, I’ve admitted it before, I am addicted to working out and I would do it all day long if someone would pay me to or my husband would allow me to, which is highly unlikely.  But obviously this isn’t the case everyday.  I know I am probably in the minority here, but it is a daily priority, although, there…

Trader Joe’s & T-Shirt Dresses

MOST of you have heard of Trader Joe’s and at least know what it is.  If not, to sum it up, it’s an awesome neighborhood grocery store with great quality at great value! Unfortunately, it isn’t necessarily IN or convenient to my neighborhood, but thankfully we at least have one in Greenville now. And you bet, I take every opportunity…

Five on Friday: New Year, Better You

So every year, Nelson and I sit down for a coffee or lunch date right before the New Year and discuss our goals for the upcoming year.  Not just our resolutions, but everything from how we can be accountable and encouraging in our walks with God to financial goals, to planning vacations, improving our marriage, focusing on our friendships, career…

Saranghae Means I Love You

First off, 2 true confessions – #1, I am NO skin care expert and #2, I was the WORST about washing my face throughout high school and even college and beyond.  I fortunately didn’t really have any “skin issues”, so I thought it was totally fine to go to bed with my full face of makeup.  What 20 year old…

ALL the Stocking Stuffers

Stocking Stuffers tend to be my last minute gifts, but I love finding fun and unique items to stuff in my husband’s stocking and not just “fluff”.  My mom always stuffed our stockings with the best stuff:  our favorite lipgloss, facial moisturizer, gift cards, etc… Some years if it has been last minute, my husband and I both have simply…

Health on Track for the Holidays

Article just out and originally written for The Upstate Clutch. Check out their Monday Newsletter! Initially I started to title this, “Healthy Holidays”, but who would read that?  And, I honestly believe in balance and not necessarily depriving yourself from anything if you don’t have to.  I love to indulge and celebrate all the good things that Thanksgiving and Christmas have…

Drift Away

Honestly, going into this I was skeptical of the whole experience.  I had never even heard of a float spa, but I am all about anything therapeutic and relaxing.  If the name has “spa” in it, then I am in.  I was super excited when Drift Float Spa opened up in the neighborhood.  First, it was one of my favorite…

Let’s Go Hiking…Weekend Recap

Initially I had planned for a “fashion” post this Monday morning, but our Sunday was too fun not to share.  This post is mainly for those of you in the Upstate.  With Fall comes great weather (even if it is still 90 degrees daily) and time to be outdoors, and the Poes get excited about some hiking.  On Sunday, we…
