Today, I am thankful. I never thought I'd get the opportunity to do the things I've done, see the people I've seen and go to the places I've been. It's truly been an amazing experience. Through blogging, I've been able to do all this and more. Everyday is a good day to be thankful, but today is deserves a special post. I am thankful for those that read and support what I put so much effort into doing everyday. This blog means a lot to me and it's given me the ability to express myself through fashion. So, thank you for being a part of my blogging journey!

I've met some amazing people along the way and we would've never crossed paths had I not continued doing what I enjoy. Thank you girls for your energy and inspiration.

Most importantly, I am thankful for the behind-the-scenes person that pushed me to do what I want, who contributes to this blog just as much as I do. I'm most thankful for having the hubbs in my life to support whatever decision I make. I wish you all an amazing and blessed Thanksgiving!

Gobble, gobble everyone! Eat up, get fat, then exercise! Toodles!
