StartFragment I have been to New York City a number of times now, and each trip just keeps getting better! This was part of our Christmas present from my in-laws, and it was the best gift! It was my sister-in-law and her husband, my in-laws, and my husband, Max, and me! Y’all know from previous blog posts about my fear of flying. I feel like it has almost gone away! I still take medication, but I think I am getting to the point where I don’t need to! Tip for nervous flyers - I like to fly early in the morning. I’m talking 6am. I know I know, it’s rough. But, I think if I fly sometime in the morning (7am-10:30am), I will already be tired. I am not a morning person, so this is just my personal

I can’t believe it has been a whole year since I started on this adventure! In the past year, The Purpose In The Pink has given me so much joy. The first 4-6 months after launching the blog were quite difficult for me personally, but this has been a great outlet for me! My mission is to share my story, help & encourage others with my faith and mental health struggles, & share my fashion style, and I hope to stay true to that going forward! After reflecting over the past year, here some extremely valuable lessons I have learned: Be Yourself – I know this isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. I have been influenced by so many other people, blogs, and fashion trends this past year, and although I

StartFragment Well, here I was. All moved into my new apartment near TCU with the help of my parents and sister. My room in my apartment was complete with colors and pink! And Yes, I did get my bedding from the baby section at Target!! I was excited but terrified. I had never lived away from home. I spent my entire life clinging to my parents, especially my mom and she was about to leave. She prayed with me and out they went. I remember texting her immediately and started to cry. What was wrong with me? Why am I like this? Why can’t I have fun and enjoy this new adventure? It was crippling. She did the best she could to encourage me, and although I had medication to help, I was a mess. I was

I’m starting a new series where I will share (once a month) my latest obsessions!! It will be a range of anything from mental health to fashion, or just some good finds! I will never list anything I have not personally done/bought or tried, so please know that. It is my job to be honest with YOU and hopefully help you out! I’m currently trying to survive winter, and these are some items that are keeping me sane! Summer girl at heart over here! If you click on the picture above, you will be linked directly to the items, along with ones that are similar. StartFragment Here are my January obsessions! CORDLESS SHIATSU NECK & BACK MASSAGER – Y’all, I can’t explain how AMAZING this Brookstone mas

StartFragment Let’s just say, I started college at Collin College with fear and overwhelming anxiety and some depression, as I had no idea what I was walking into. I was on more medication than I ever had been, and I felt extremely tired all the time. The original plan was to study music education and then transfer somewhere after I completed the basics. It was really the only thing I enjoyed at the time, and although I had gotten into schools like UNT & OKCU, I was not really interested in much of anything in terms of studying. I would say the first semester was the worst. I was dating someone from high school who went away to school and cheated on me, I hardly went to classes, and I was t

Hi Friends! I was fortunate enough to partner with Smile Brilliant and test out their teeth whitening trays! First off, let me start out by saying how HAPPY I am with my results!! I have always wanted to get my teeth whitened, but I frequently heard how painful it was – and, quite frankly, it’s expensive. So, it has never been a priority. This experience was easy and convenient! Let me tell you about it! SmileBrilliant sent me two trays to take impressions of my teeth. I have always hated getting impressions done, but for this, they gave me step by step instructions, so I had the comfort of doing it in my own home which makes all the difference. So, that took about 10 minutes total. Next, I

I tend to make multiple New Year’s resolutions EVERY year, but I don’t follow through. Did you know that it has been reported that on an average, people only stick to their resolutions until January 12th!? THAT’S IT? I am probably one of those people, sadly. But, there is something about a New Year that is EXCITING! A clean slate, a fresh start! So, this year, I decided to make some resolutions that I believe I can actually keep. And, of course, losing weight is on there. I always overeat around the holidays, so I definitely want to shed some of that weight and start working out at the Barrecode again! I am not one to stick with something long term (until Re-Generation came around this last
