I love my husband, but my gals are my soulmates! I celebrate Galentine's with my girlfriends every year.

Whether it's your bestie, mom or sister...sometimes a little, fun gift is a great way for us girls to show each other how much we appreciate friendship.

I have selected some of my ALL TIME favorites above that will put an instant smile on anyone's face!

Even though they pretend they don't, men love getting VDay goodies, too. I usually get my (now) husband something fun and not too elaborate.

I have picked out some of my favorite gift ideas that I am sure your guy will love. We sometimes have to make them feel special, too :)

 



Shower Season!

 

Not going to lie....besides being love and planning a gorgeous wedding, shower gifts have made this whole engagement thing not so bad.

I am SO blessed to have the most amazing friends and family who have thrown us the best showers ever!  It has been like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one!

If I could give ANY advice to brides it would be to register for things you really need, want and at different price points (not all of your friends are going to show up with a Vitamix).

We have gotten several of the amazing gifts I have listed above and if I HAD to pick my TOP 2 FAVS it would be the All Clad Slowcooker and the Vitamix.  These two gifts have made my crazy life a little more tolerable.

Most registries consist of kitchen and home needs like cookware and kitchen gadgets. Don't be afraid to register for some fun stuff too! People like to buy you things you want as well as what you actually need. I suggest items like Apple TV, airline gift cards, board games, or even portable Bluetooth speakers.

Another little tip for you little brides out there....write 'thank you' notes IMMEDIATELY after receiving a gift. Then, write down your gift and who it is from in a notebook with a  check mark next to it.  If you can stay on top of this, it will make it easier on you.

This whole process goes by so quickly, so enjoy every moment of it!

Need help packing your beach/pool/lake bag? I've listed above my MUST HAVES!

Staying stylish while getting some sun is always important to me. Just make sure and lather on the sunscreen.

R + F makes the BEST sunscreen and it smells amazing! I keep a bottle of this in my bag at all times as well as the lip screen. Nothing is worse than a burn on your mouth! Ouch!

The Yeti cooler is perhaps one of the best investments I have made in a while. We have the Yeti Roadie and it's the perfect size for our beverages.

My brother bought me this darling gem speaker for Christmas and I take it with me everywhere! I usually keep my phone away from water and sun but love to hear music...especially from a faux hot pink diamond!

I'm buying the marble sunnies and donut beach towel above! They are too cute to pass up on!



Mad For Marble

 

First off, I want to apologize for being so MIA! This wedding planning is literally taking over my life at the moment...we are at the 5 month mark and it's getting crazy!

 

Ok, now let's talk about marble. You guys, I am obsessed! Our wedding registry is literally marble, copper and gold everything!! It's such a fun craze and is one of the few things Matt doesn't find "too girly".

There are SO many cool pieces for amazing prices, especially at Target!

I have shared some of my absolute favorites above, including that cake platter and dome that I will be purchasing ASAP!
