You guys, I did it! Gosh this post is so exciting to write because 10 months ago it seemed so far away! As you probably know if you are reading this, I started my journey with Invisalign last March with an amazing orthodontist here in Colorado, i-Orthodontics. I finished my treatment nine months later, in December, and wanted to give you all a little recap of how my treatment went and how you move forward after having Invisalign. How was my treatment: Honestly, amazing. Finally deciding to pull the trigger and get Invisalign after years of wanting it turned out […]
8th Anniversary at The Westin Beaver Creek
A few weekends back Hayden and I made our annual trip up to the mountains to celebrate our eight-year anniversary! Three of our eight anniversaries have been spent at our favorite place to cozy up for the weekend, the Westin Riverfront in Beaver Creek. It checks every one of our boxes and is the first place we went after getting engaged, so it holds a super special place for us. We got to the Westin on Friday afternoon and got settled into our room. We wanted to keep this night pretty low key, because after all, part of the reason […]
Invisalign Update
Wow, it’s crazy how fast 6 months can fly by! Last March I wrote my first post about starting my journey with Invisalign (find it here) and now I am already halfway through the treatment! Time flies when your having fun and achieving the smile of your dreams at the same time! How It’s Going: Honestly, amazing. The last 6 months were so fun seeing my smile change week by week and I didn’t have any problems with the retainers. They become so familiar that it almost feels strange not having them in? Some might disagree but for me it […]
Finding My Wedding Dress at d’Anelli Bridal
Shopping for your wedding dress is one of the most special and fun parts of wedding planning. And seeing yourself in a wedding gown for the first time, even if it’s not the one, is a super surreal. I was one of those brides who was super picky and particular and the kind that I’m sure bridal boutiques hate (lol). Luckily for me, d’Anelli bridal had exactly what I was looking for and I had the best experience while shopping there. Research Before I went into d’Anelli I did a ton of research on which designers they carried by checking […]
Beauty Travel Essentials
I have had a super busy summer of traveling and I’ve been trying to keep my skincare on the top of my priority list! There is nothing worse than walking off a flight with tight, dry skin that looks lifeless and tired. Today I’m going to be talking about my in-flight skincare essentials so that I walk off every plane feeling fresh and glowy. First things first, I disinfect my hands and my area of the plane before any skincare starts happening. Yep, I am totally that germaphobe who wipes down her area as soon as I sit. Maybe not […]
Favorite Makeup Products Lately
I go through phases, like everyone else I’m sure, where makeup feels like a total chore, but lately that could not be further from the case! I have been having such luck with my beauty purchases lately and I’m loving my current routine! Here are my faves: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer This product has been popular for forever but I just recently fell in love. It is so smooth and easy to blend, really light but easy to build, and it smells like a chocolate bar (I thought that would be weird but it actually smells amazing). I’ve […]
May Favorites
May Favorites Isn’t May just the best month ever? We kind of had some rough weather here in CO but I still just love spring! I turned 24 earlier in the month, we took a trip down to Mexico, spent a lot of time outside on the pretty weather days, ran a 10K, etc. etc. But, in addition to May always being a great month, I had a TON of luck finding some new products (and resurfacing some old faves) this month that I wanted to share! So, without further adieu.. Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen Let’s kick this thing off with […]

Staycation at Dove Inn
A couple weeks back Hayden and I had the pleasure of escaping to the Dove Inn in Golden, Colorado for a night. If you don’t know, the Dove Inn is an adorable boutique hotel that was built in 1866 and has been completely renovated while keeping that vintage feel. It’s somewhere between a bed and breakfast and an airbnb and it is absolutely adorable. The Dove Inn is very centrally located in Golden and is an extremely short walk from the main street, Washington, which has tons of restaurants and coffee shops, even a little park. We stayed in the […]
