Well, September is here, folks! And while this still isn’t quite the beginning of the month, it’s a lot closer than the last few goals posts have been! So, I call that success. :)

In recap, August was full of lots of great stuff like modeling for a shoot with Alisandra Photography & The Bride’s Cafe, shooting lots of pretty things, getting new workout shoes that match my weights, visiting Indiana and catching up with some dear friends while there, trying my first Jamberry Nail Wraps, a haircut + fun date night with Aaron, beginning to plan Fall wardrobe inspiration, taking time to hone more of my business “why”, a beautiful feature on Fab You Bliss, and winning a gorgeous floral tray from Amore Events!

Here’s how the goals went down:

– Send 2-3 handwritten notes (they’re in the works!)
– Recover bottom of living room chair
– Research natural make up companies
– Go to the Farmer’s Market at least once
