Pursing Life - Costa Rica

Life has been so good to me recently and it has made me realize how important it is to make sure I actually live a life I'm proud of. So many people get caught up in the ho-hum of the everyday that they forget there is an entire world out there waiting for them.

" Start investing in life and you will realize no dollar will ever go to waste! "

I'm currently writing this post from my hotel room in Costa Rica. Coming here has been so much more than I expected. This is my first time out of the US and it happened on a whim with less than a month worth of planning with I guy I litereally just started dating and it couldn't be more perfect.

I eaten at multiple places where no one even speaks English and the food was amazing! I went surfing and even caught a few waves. Going somewhere I've never been was on my bucket list for 2016 and now I can gladly cross it off. To be honest I had high doubts about whether or not I would even get to, but for me this is just the beginning. I plan on filling up every page in my passport and maybe even a second one.

Don't think just because you're a college student or too young or too broke stop you from living a life of amazing adventures. I am two of those things but it didn't stop me. Start investing in life and you will realize no dollar will ever go to waste!

Instagram Envy

Living on social media can give you all kinds of envy. It's very easy to see the beautiful pictures and wonder why that isn't your life. Life envy is definitely something I suffer from on a consistent basis. Hair envy and #bodygoals envy are right behind it.

As my following has grown it has been very easy to get caught up in the "pretend world" that is Instagram. Scrolling through my feed at least once an hour. Wondering how I am going to find the cash to buy all these amazing outfits and thinking about what my next picture will be so I'll amass the most likes. I even have a calendar that has the number of followers I have each day (crazy I know). On days I gain a lot of new followers I feel very happy and accomplished but on days I don't I feel like a failure. Why does Instagram have such a hold on me?

I think like a lot of people it helps us pretend we are somewhere else or someone else. It sets an unrealistic standard of life. Being a faithful "Grammer" I should know better. Behind every shot is about 50 photos that didn't make the cut and ours of editing and planning to make sure each photo is just right. Now let me be clear, I LOVE styling shoots and taking photos and Instagram is a fantastic platform to showcase these talents. I just feel its important to remind yourself that

ITS NOT REAL!!!

Take and share amazing photos and be very proud of the followers you've gained and how beautiful your feed is. Just remember that its not real life, so don't let it consume you!
