the beauty in a day

oh the joy to be found in living each day to the fullest!

leap day last weekend had me thinking about something that i actually think about a lot:

the power and beauty a single day holds.

it's truly incredible when you take a second and think about just how much life you are able to live and just how much impact you are able to make in one day.
all of these little things happening each and every second that really aren't so little at all. 
a hug in the hallway! a good song on the radio! texting someone 'i miss ya like crazy'! saying a prayer for a friend! having one second of courage to talk to someone or ask a hard question or tell someone you love them!
these moments. 
they're little, yes. but really, they're huge and they're important.
 these moments add up to a lot, even when they feel like nothing at all. 

i can't tell you how happy it makes me to think about everyday like this. the fact that jesus offers so much meaning in the day-to-day makes this life incredibly breathtaking. 

today, i encourage you to think about the little things. the power that they hold.
seek them out.
make them count.
there is so much to be said about loving today wherever you're at. 

happy march, friends. 

xx, gracie

what his words could not see

the problem with insecurities is they like to hide. they sit below the surface, waiting for something or someone to set them off. you yourself may not even know they're there. i knew mine was there, i just didn't want to admit it. i fed myself all the right literature, watched all the right videos, listened to all the right people who were telling me that what i was going through was normal, good, beautiful even. i consumed it until i told myself i believed it. but the problem was, i never did.  deep down, i didn't accept what was happening. i told myself it was temporary, i would lose it soon. at my very core, i believed that something was wrong with me. i rarely let others on to the fact that when i looked in the mirror i was deeply sad. growing up your whole life being skinny, no one ever tells you what to do when your body changes. when your external value is no longer based in your smallness. i couldn't reconcile what was happening to me. i could not understand or ...

Versatility In Your Wardrobe- Dresses

Image
Hey fellow fashionistas! A really important thing in anyone's wardrobe is versatility. I mean, you can't wear one item and never wear it again! Mixing and matching outfits is something fashionistas pride themselves on all around the world. I try my hardest to create a completely new look with all my clothes. The cool thing is, nobody will know if you wear the same shirt twice in the school week! You will accessorize and pair it totally different! I'm going to show you how to create the illusion that you own a lot of clothes, when the reality is.. you're just a master of outfit creating. Ok, there's a twist! A lot of people think of separates for mixing & matching, and they usually think of dresses as a one-time dressy outfit. Dresses can be made super casual! The looks created today will all include a dress! Don't be afraid to rock one to school or just running errands, these are super comfy and laid back! (1) Add a button down under one of your favori...
