The Old Fashion Wife

             Hello all! I had the best experience this week! My anxiety has always been an issue for me. Social and general anxiety have sometimes been really hard to handle. But I've had the most amazing experience having a cat with my anxiety. I've always wanted to get a dog or cat but never have been able to. Or at least I've always stopped myself from a pet. But it's been so much better than I expected. I think it's SO important to learn to manage your anxiety. Figure out your triggers and make sure you're learning how to calm yourself down.              A few nights ago I was laying in bed and I heard a helicopter flying above me. I didn't think anything of it. But then I heard it over and over and over again. Then I suddenly started seeing the spotlight of the helicopter flashing into our bedroom. Freaky, right? So my anxiety jumped so fast! I started frantically looking up all the possibilities as to why a hel...

             Let's talk about being mother's and wives, shall we? It's exhausting sometimes. It seems as though you've given your all and still you must give more. There have been days where I have barely slept and yet there's so much I have to do. Some days seem to be a breeze. Then the next day can be completely opposite! What can you do? It sometimes feels like it's just inevitable right? IT IS NOT! Let's dive in!              I am extremely passionate about a lot of things. Garrett thinks it's so funny when I start getting hyped up about things. I am convinced we live in a society where getting excited about something isn't "cool" or it's considered "immature". I have yet to meet someone who is just enthusiastic about life! When I get passionate about something I can't help but feel a huge need to share it with the world! Self-care is one of those things. Why not get passionate about this? I've seen what self-car...

             I was thinking of asking a few ladies if they'd want to attend a class where I help them with their make-up. I'd bring my supplies and tell them to bring everything they have. Then I'd follow with tips and tricks to allow them to have an easier time with their make-up. But then I got to wondering why they wouldn't have tried experimenting with make-up themselves. Here's my theory.              We as women are constantly comparing ourselves. Our lives, kids, husbands, and ourselves. Including our make-up and make-up skills. The only reason I feel comfortable in my make-up abilities, which really aren't that great, is I looked up videos and figured it out. But before I had, I'd try something new with my make-up and be so self conscious. When I first tried contouring I had a sister-in-law's mom rub off my contour and say "Oh Whitney, don't do that! You look like you have dirt on your face!" I was horrified!...
