I'm in a low maintenance friendship era - what this means for me | We forget that friendship is about the person, not just the outward aesthetic or idealistic entity. #friendships
I'm in a low maintenance era of friendship | Now well into my 30's, I see friendship differently. Many may not experience the mindset shift on friendship like I have, but I do think it's important to address the somewhat negative stigma of what it means to be low maintenance in friendship.

Stop expecting YOU in other people - sincerely, a recovering people pleaser | You know that saying, "The way you treat others is a reflection of how you treat yourself,"? Well, from a people pleasers perspective, I whole-heartedly believed that by wanting everyone to like, love and respect me I was ultimately reflecting that to myself. That's a big nope.
Tis the season for HOLIDAY BOUNDARIES | Our culture, unfortunately, is very guilty of using the Holidays as a means of control. Many assign the season, or a Day with a level of power and significance that takes devotion and idolization to a whole new, unhealthy meaning. #settingboundaries #holidayboundaries
You either find the Holidays to be stressful and chaotic (particularly when it comes to meeting the demands of pleasing those around you) or you struggle with the shame and guilt of setting boundaries during the Holidays (with family and loved ones). Here's to setting boundaries during the Holidays without the guilt! #boundaries

Little things to do the morning of your wedding (to help you slow down) | I've been in and to several weddings where, from the sidelines, all I could see was one super stressed out bride not only the morning of her wedding but throughout the big day. Therefore, my aim is to offer brides a little morning-of-the-wedding advice - little things you can do to help slow down, relax and live in the present moment.
6 Tips for choosing your bridesmaids from a bride who chose none
My 6 best tips for planning a small wedding | Smaller, destination weddings are becoming the new norm. Brides and grooms tend to go out of the box from the traditional ballroom reception and church weddings. There's certainly nothing wrong with traditional weddings - for many it's a family tradition passed down. But there's beauty behind every wedding, because it's solely about the Love between the bride and groom. #weddingtips #sayingido #marriage | theMRSingLink LLC

How To Move On Without Closure From A Relationship [Finding It Within]
I could make this super simple for you. I could say the guy should pay. I could also say the woman should offer, or whoever does the asking out should take responsibility. But damn is it ever NOT that…
Who Should Pay For Dates [+ Other Factors To (re)Consider] | Personally, I still think this will always hold true, that most women will still desire men to take the initiative and pay for [more] dates, and that most men will be happy to do so regardless. But relationship and gender equality have definitely sparked a fuse in the other way around, where many men and women believe the "expectation" or obligation to pay should not solely fall on men or simply one person over the other. #moderndat...
