How did you two meet? We met a little over 5 years ago on Instagram. After 2 weeks of talking, I asked Grant to fly out to Santa Barbara, where I was going to school at the time. We ended up splitting a plane ticket and he flew out the very next week. From the moment we first met at the airport, we knew we had something special. Grant was relieved that I was as tall as I said I was and I thought Grant was even more handsome than his photos could have ever shown. What’s the most memorable date you’ve ever had?

(Plus the Details on Having a Mini-Moon!) For those of you wondering, the answer is no, a honeymoon and a mini-moon are not the same things. Both are great and have their pros and cons but share a slight difference. By definition, a honeymoon is a long break taken in a faraway place which is most likely on the list of dream destinations. A mini-moon is made closer to home, consists of less vacation time, and probably won’t cost you half the price of your traditional honeymoon. More people are opting for mini-moons for various reasons, and I can’t blame them! After spending thousands of dollars on a wedding, the…

Remember when you were a kid, and birthdays were something you always looked forward to? Why not, considering the cake, presents and all your friends from school would show up. Plus, there was always a pinata full of Snickers and Twix bars. I remember being excited about birthdays until I became a teenager because after that, I just wanted to go out with friends and get away from my parents as much as possible. Yes, I regret it, and I know I’m not the only one. My early twenties consisted of college parties and birthdays were spent in bars getting wasted with friends and crashing at someone’s house. via GIPHY…

In the twenty-six years that I have been alive on this planet; I can safely say that food is the number one thing that delivers joy to people like nothing else.

Alright, I know what you’re thinking, and yes, I was thinking about it, too. Do people still embroider anything these days? The answer to that question, my friend, is yes, they still do. Why? Because embroidery has been and still is one of the unique methods of designs when it comes to apparel decorating. People see an embroidered item and immediately think it’s exclusive, it required steady work and consists of high quality. The art of embroidery is no small task, and if you’re looking to learn, then you can. But if time is not on your side yet you want a specific item embroidered; then some companies will do…
