Perhaps a little uninspired by my own lack of motivation. I wasn&#8217;t pushing or challenging myself to do new things&#8230;to create&#8230;I was basically stuck. Not a fun time.<\/p>\n<p>This led to my 2-month get-away to New York City in April and May. I just needed to try it out and get a little taste of this magical place that people speak so highly of. During this time I really challenged myself to just be present and explore. I did just that&#8230;I walked miles through that crazy city, sometimes in sneakers&#8230;sometimes in 4&#8243; heels. I met a lot of new people, I fell in love with my craigslist roommates (totally lucked out), and I honestly found a part of me that I had not yet discovered. It was an exciting time and I&#8217;m so thankful I had those two months to refresh my mind and jump right into the wedding season when I returned to Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>So the point of this blog post you ask&#8230; well I&#8217;ve decided to give myself a new little project to take on. I haven&#8217;t been this excited about something in a long time so I&#8217;m excited to share a few details before it&#8217;s all ready to go live!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting a new <strong>TRAVEL &amp; LIFESTYLE<\/strong> blog!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been following me for awhile, you know that I am 100% obsessed with traveling this beautiful world. There have been so many times where I wanted to share the nitty-gritty details of my travels, but never felt that my wedding blog was the place for those stories to call home. <em>From tips on how to survive a 10+ hour flight and conquer jet lag&#8230;to perfecting the squat and dodge of loogies flying your way in China.<\/em> real talk. The new blog is not only going to be a place where I share my travels, but it will be a place where I share personal thoughts, style inspirations, DIY tutorials, portraits\/stories of other inspiring humans, and even a few hair tutorials that I&#8217;ve been asked 1,532 times to do. It&#8217;s a place where anything goes, love it or hate it&#8230;it&#8217;s a place of no filters and I couldn&#8217;t be more excited about it.<\/p>\n<p>The site will be up and running starting <strong>NEXT WEEK<\/strong>!
