What is your favorite book and why?

How has becoming a mom impacted your personal style?
My style has completely changed. Based on what we have planned that day and how I am feeling, my outfit would change. If the kids happen to wake up before I do, and pull me out of bed, I will be wearing leggings and a hoodie! I never know exactly what I’ll wear until the day of.
How would you describe personal style?
You know, I have been trying to figure that out myself! I absolutely love the minimalist type of style, but you can find me with a floral dress and heels. It really varies based on my mood.

What are the things you learned while being a mom that you wish you knew before-hand?
I learned to love my hair – my daughter was born with my hair type and it was interesting to see how much I did not like my own. Through styling her hair, and seeing how beautiful she always appeared, it helped me embrace my own.
Learned my passion- This is something I probably wish I had before but without being a mom, I would have never known. I love creating content, and sharing my story with the world. My children, my marriage and this journey truly led me to my passion.
