My Life In 2015... (So Far)

Hi everyone!

Long time, no blog! I know I have been M.I.A. for a while now, but I'm back and I plan on improving my blog and putting up quality posts.  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  I recently got engaged, I have taken on more responsibilities at work and I have grown as a person. This year has been amazing so far and I can't wait to see what the future brings. 

Take a look at some pictures that reflect 2015 so far.

 I celebrated my birthday at Sugar Factory on February 27th.

Nature Box

Hi beauties! I know I've been gone for a while, but I'm back with a new post.

Nature Box is a monthly subscription box of healthy snacks.  Now, I've been struggling with my fitness and health journey and when I saw the different YouTube reviews on this, I knew it would be something that I would love. Unlike any other subscription based websites that I have been a member of, Nature Box is going to benefit me more and I know I'm not going to waste the product.

Every month you can choose up to five different healthy snacks for $19.95 a month.  You can also add additional snacks onto your order for $3.00 each.  My first box was a success! I loved everything and it's nice to have these snacks, so when I want something during the day, I can grab a healthy snack rather than a cookie or bag of chips.  I was sent the Toasted Sesame Stix, Vanilla Macaroon Granola, Whole Wheat Strawberrry Figgy Bars, Pistaschio Power Clusters, Cashew Power Clusters and the Mocha Almond Bar.  Also, if you have any dietary restrictions, Nature Box has options for you, such as Vegan, Lactose- Free and Gluten Free.  Make sure you check out Nature Box.  I have a $10 off code for your first box, check it out below.











Use code B6Q4-4TC to get $10 off your first box.

Gladiator Trend

Hi beauties!

The gladiator sandal trend is really in this spring and summer. I feel like this trend comes and goes every other year.  I recently made a purchase from Just Fab, which I will post below.  After seeing a picture of Kourtney Kardashian and how she style her knee-high gladiator sandals, I was sold!  

Below I have I have some styling options.  I would definitely pair knee-high gladiators with a flowy romper or dress with a chic floppy hat and structured sunglasses.  Also, I have two options, an affordable version from Forever 21 and a designer version from Stuart Weitzman.  Both are pretty much identical, would you save or splurge?

The Just Fab pair I ordered $40.
