Q&A: Vol. I

Life· Q & A

Today I figured I would do a bit of a different post than normal and answer a few common questions I get in either emails, DMs on Instagram, comments, etc. I realized that I honestly don’t share too many details about my life besides bits and pieces you might get from my travel posts or my Favorite Things posts. Not intentionally of course, I just don’t want to share things unless y’all care haha

So let’s get started!

How long have you been a nurse for?

I have been a nurse for almost exactly 2 years. I’ve been working in an ICU since I graduated college but I will actually be transferring to a new job in a few weeks at a maternity center. I cannot wait!

How long have you been married for?

Garrett and I got married in April of 2017. So almost 2 years! April 15th, 2017 was the best day ever <3

What is your favorite place you have traveled to?

That’s a tough one! I went to Spain in high school and its one of the top places that I am dying to go back to. The architecture, culture, and history are all beautiful.

In reference to my post on the supplements I take:

Do you have any other recommendations for probiotics?

If you don’t live near a Whole Foods and therefore cannot access the 365 probiotic I take, there are so many other good options out there! When I was in high school, I had horrible stomach issues which resolved after I took the Culturelle probiotic after a couple months, so I would recommend that one. You can get it on Amazon, but I think it is available at places like Walmart, CVS, and Target too.

What is your favorite restaurant in Charlotte?

Hard, but I really love Seoul Food & Meat Co.! You can read about all my Charlotte recommendations in my Native’s Guide to Charlotte.

Where is your favorite place to shop?

That’s a hard one too! I really love Madewell and J. Crew though.

When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough! 

I’m going for neutral in here, but more layered, earthy, textured and elevated (without feeling formal). Next up is styling my bed, giving my nightstands and dressers and makeover, and lots more decor and styling! #homediy #pregnancy #bedroommakeover #bedroomdecor

The Secret Cocoa Butter Invisible Solid is my FAVORITE, and its all day freshness gives me a boost of confidence throughout the day. #RomanticizingLife #ToddlerMom @secretdeodorant

Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered Sometimes, boys have childhoods that are centered around traditionally boy-ish things like trucks and sports, and while my son LOVES those things, I think boys don’t always get all the whimsy that girls get. Whimsy is for girls AND boys!! Every childhood deserves to be whimsical 🥰 #toddlermom #toddleractivities #whimsy #whimsicalhome
