Encouragement

I came up with this idea/saying a few days ago when I was thinking about comparison and competition among girls. I came across a quote posted by Julie of ellivenstudio (here), and I cannot stop thinking about it. I am totally with her, there's enough room for all of us! Encouraging one another is so important, and way better then competing against one another. I have to remind myself of this from time to time too! By nature, I am a very competitive person, and definitely get those jealous/competitive thoughts. But then I stop myself and remind myself that encouragement always wins. I hope we all make it in this crazy world, and there is definitely room for all of us to be positive towards one another and encourage one another. Kindness will never go out of style, always choose positivity and encouragement always wins. Happy Tuesday friends! I hope this reminder carries you throughout the week and helps you encourage someone who might need it!

Navigating The Kentucky Derby

I thought I would share some key things to know for this weekends Kentucky Derby. It is one of our favourite weekends around here and we look forward to it every year! The Kentucky Derby isn't just about the horse race, however if you are betting California Chrome is the favourite to win. The whole experience has become just as big as the race, showcasing peoples outfits, women's large and beautiful hats and different ways to make the classic Derby drink, the Mint Julep. Whether you are lucky enough to attend or not, grab a glass of Mint Julep (recipe below) or some sweet tea, and maybe put on a little fancy dress to make a fun afternoon out of it! I hope you all have a great weekend!
