Not Doing It All, Just Doing What Matters Right Now<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS SEASON ISN\u2019T ABOUT DOING EVERYTHING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lately, my life has looked a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m still working full-time. I\u2019m still doing client work. I\u2019m still building my brand. But if I\u2019m being honest, this season has been more focused on client work and planning my wedding than pouring into my brand the way I usually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s been a major adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brand is still a priority. It always will be. Designing products that help people build a life with intention is something I genuinely love. It\u2019s probably my favorite part of everything I do. But right now, I\u2019ve had to scale that back a bit. I\u2019ve just had to be realistic about my time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that\u2019s something we don\u2019t talk about enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes growth doesn\u2019t look like doing more. Sometimes it looks like choosing what matters most in the season you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNING A WEDDING THAT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We officially set a date! Early fall of this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re keeping it small, around 25 people max, and I honestly love that. It feels intentional and calm, not overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been designing all of the floral arrangements myself using silk flowers, and putting together decor from places like Amazon and Temu. I also built out a full wedding style board on Pinterest, which has been one of my favorite parts of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to see it, let me know! You\u2019ve already seen the Save-the-dates I designed myself, I shared these on socials last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something really special about designing something so personal from the ground up. It feels very aligned with who I am creatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ONLY WAY I\u2019M MANAGING ALL OF THIS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working full-time and doing all of this on the side has been stressful. I won\u2019t pretend it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019ve been approaching it differently lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m taking it one day at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use my planner to map out what actually needs to get done each day. Not everything. Just what\u2019s necessary. And anything extra is a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I have the energy, I\u2019ll do more. If I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t force it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s been a big shift for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been giving myself more grace and reminding myself that I don\u2019t have to do everything. It\u2019s okay if things stay unchecked on my list. It\u2019s okay to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have to do it all. I just have to do what matters today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS LIFE CHANGING DISCOVERY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, side note, but also not really because this has been life-changing for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have dealt with hormonal acne for years. I had horrible acne in high school and have still had regular breakouts since college. I am 29 and still get pimples regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve tried everything. Different treatments, skincare routines, cleansers, moisturizers. At some point, I just accepted that acne was part of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well\u2026 the past few weeks, I started drinking Olipop sodas, eating the Kind bars (granola bar brand), and just trying to increase my fiber intake overall. **not sponsored, these are just the brands I have been consuming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And MY ACNE IS GONE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like\u2026 I haven\u2019t had a pimple in 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot remember the last time that happened. Probably before puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This genuinely feels like a miracle, and I wanted to share it in case anyone else is struggling with hormonal acne. I have also been trying to eat more clean, drinking lots of water, and getting movement regularly. So it could be a combination of all those things. But it seems like getting more fiber was the missing piece I needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is some of the science for you to explain this better:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is emerging research showing that diet, gut health, and insulin regulation can influence hormonal balance and acne<\/strong>. Fiber plays a role in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
