I got suckered into buying TULA’s new eye balm a few weeks ago (and by suckered, I really mean I take full responsibility for swiping up and using the coupon code to try this product that “sells out so quick so run don’t walk”) 🤦🏼‍♀️ BUT YALL, this stuff is AMAZING + I KNOW I sound like a crazy lady but it wakes you up in like .2 seconds and I 1000% look forward to that icy cool balm more than my coffee in the morning. What else am I missing out on, people?? I need to know. Give me your favorite top one or two go-to products that you would recommend to anyone and everyone?? 👇🏼

This cooler weather has me pretending like it’s November, lighting up a pumpkin spice candle + snagging some tomato basil soup for dinner tonight. Who’s with me?? 🍂

Ryan + I were exhausteddddd (to say the least) Monday morning after traveling back at midnight from San Francisco on a delayed flight the night before. Our plan was to sleep in just a tad before rolling into work but that plan was hijacked the moment we heard a pounding on our front door at the crack of dawn. Ryan crawled out of bed, threw on his pants and went to check what the heck was going on. I hear a lady with her kids (our neighbor) in a panic because “there was a snake hanging in her car” and she was wondering if Ryan could get it out. She pulls Ryan out the front door and points to her car - “Do you see that! Do you see it?!” Please note, snakes are Ryan’s worst nightmare hahahah
.
Ryan comes back into the bedroom to throw on shoes (I’m 99% sure he was still half asleep.) About 3-minutes later, Ryan returns and I said, “Well that was fast!” Ryan collapsed back into bed and said “TRASH. It was a piece of TRASH.” HAHAHAHAHA
.
Today I told Ryan I was going to bed at 5:30 bc I’m so tired (only kind of kidding), and he said “Tired?!?! I’m still wired up from killing that anaconda Monday morning!” 😂😂😂

I’ve got 3 more weddings the next few months before wrapping up the year and spending the remainder of 2019 enjoying the holidays with our families! How is Fall next week? HOW! I’m so excited my heart could explode 🍂

Aside from word of mouth (big hugs to each of you who share about RMP), Instagram has by far been the biggest blessing in growing my business, which has been somewhat of a struggle for me. Over time I‘ve started to resent feeling like I NEED to share every moment, every photo shoot, every trip, every house flip bc it felt like it was taking away from enjoying those moments. BUT ALSO HELLO that’s HOW this little biz grows - by sharing our life with you + posting sneak peeks of sweet wedding days. Truly, the number of posts I share 100% correlates with the number of inquiries I get in my little email inbox. Crazy, but true! I felt this pressure (self-induced, people) to constantly share what we were up to at all times + it was SO annoying to me. I resented that when I was with family, enjoying a trip with Ryan, serving a couple on their wedding day that I constantly had thoughts flooding my mind about what I needed to be posting, how would it fit in my feed, does this story look okay, will people connect with this, will it rub people the wrong way, will people question how the heck we are doing another house flip, is the couple going to like this sneak peek, ALL THE STUPID THINGS.

Starting about 6-months ago, I completelyy changed the way I interact with this little app. I can’t remember the last time I posted in real time + it’s been a game changer for me. I spend about one day a week batch-planning posts for the next 7-14 days so I’m not sucked into this platform on a daily basis. It 1000% has freed me up to be joyful in-the-moment + then later be so much more intentional with what I share and how I share it. If you don’t already, I SO encourage you to give yourself permission to enjoy that fun date night with your spouse - take a quick pic and share it with the world tomorrow...or next week. Be present on your family trips - snag a few vids of those pretty views and post to your story when you’re at the airport waiting to hop on your flight home. What other tips + tricks do you have for not getting sucked in? I wanna hear!! 👇🏼

Got to whip out our jean jackets + my chunky sweater this weekend to bask in Cali’s 60 degrees and it was THE BEST. Anyone else feel an elevated level of happiness when it’s anywhere from 60-75 degrees outside?
.
Ryan and I had free flight credits that we needed to use before the end of the month (but also were trying to save up our PTO days lol) so we said yolo and crammed a trip to San Francisco in less than 48-hours. Exploring the coast, soaking in hillside wineries, eating a whole lot of goat cheese, discovering my love for oat milk lattes (currently have one in hand), scheming our 10-year plan for buying a fixer upper vacation home in Carmel (or as Ryan likes to call it - caramel) (also totally kidding), laying eyes on the Golden Gate Bridge + spending the weekend with a dear friend was 1billion% well worth my need for 18 cups of coffee this morning + baggie eyes galore.
