Finals motivation... to be back here in a few weeks! (Not soon enough🤨)
Good luck these last few weeks students!

So excited for Thanksgiving! ♡
Spending lots of time with fam & working on Cyber Week Etsy prep & sales!🙌🏻 (when are you shopping?! I’m mostly using the sales to buy Christmas gifts early to stress less at the last minute!) I hope you’re having a lovely day so far!

1) Law school school exams may be 2 weeks away... but Christmas is 5 weeks away!🎅🏼
2) Today my professor (trying to be encouraging) gave us a talk on how these last few weeks of the semester are quite possibly the hardest weeks of all of law school.... but it’s fine. It’s allllll fine.🙃
3) Haven’t worn makeup in almost a week (which is very unusual for me) but the best part is really not having to take off makeup at the end of the day🤷🏼‍♀️ sounds silly, I know, but I’ll take little wins where I can find them.
4) Very much on board with this #MakeInstagramCasualAgain thing going around because honestly, I can’t make this anything other than casual, even when I try. Your life is share/photo/memory-worthy just the way it is!

First craft fair ✔️, soak in every moment ✔️, be real proud of my lil lemon biz ✔️! @lemonlilyco
This was truly a dream come true & something I definitely didn’t plan when I started my business almost exactly 2 years ago. I put my shop on vacation mode to focus on this weekend, & the last vacation mode notice I’d set was “Our shop is closed for now as we’re currently rebranding...” Definitely a big moment of perspective for all the days I’m tired, overwhelmed, & doubt myself or my business.
This craft fair was at my home church & when people asked how I can do this & law school, my answer is that I HAVE to do this & law school to stay balanced & find joy in something happy. Creative outlets are so important & your current occupation doesn’t have to stand in the way of your passion.
More updates from this weekend on @lemonlilyco & there will be some new listings from this weekend up soon! 💛 Thank you for your support of me & any small business. By liking, commenting, supporting, & sharing, you’re making someone’s “too big” dream come true 💫

Yet another (pre-Accutane, pre-law school) photo from 2 months ago because law school is still crazy hard (& I don’t do much else). But law school is also good. Maybe not great, but at least good.
I have to remind myself that all the trials & struggles now are for a bigger better purpose later on. And hey, I only have to be a 1L once 😅😇 if you’re struggling with school or work or life (or all of the above), please remember it’s important to take breaks. When you get discouraged, remember why you started & where you’re headed! You got this & don’t forget it 🙌🏻 have a great week, friend! 💛

A bittersweet goodbye to my first car - it’s officially sold! 💛
I’ve had this car since I was 19 & while it didn’t last quite as long for me as I hoped, this car got me through college, to law school, to many trips home, to bringing our puppy home, to many ice cream dates, to my first full-time job, & to so many other memories. It will be an adjustment to not see this car in the driveway anymore but I’m so thankful for the miles & memories made!
Up next: the very adult process of buying my next car 🙃

hi!! Popping in to remind you absolutely everyone is going through something whether they externalize it or not. Everyone you meet has struggles & feelings & passions just as valid as yours! And just because someone else has it “worse” than you doesn’t mean you don’t have your own battles of your own. If it doesn’t feel like your day, your week (your month, or even your yeeeear🎶) right now, then it’s only a matter of time before things look up again! Growth takes time & success never happens overnight.
ok rant over back to studying because law school is just as hard as everyone says & more ok! ur a star ⭐️ & have a lovely day! 💗💗

Bringing you this photo from my pjs, a large stack of law homework to-be-done, & a comforting cup of (decaf) tea. Have had some health struggles this weekend & I’m coffee-free for a month 😅 I hope you are having a restful Sunday & getting ready to tackle another week! 💗 sending thoughts & love!

Make a little extra time today for something (or someone) you love ok?!

📍 Happiest here 🌵🌿🍃
Had the loveliest time exploring @tallahasseenurseries & picking up some new plant friends! Growing houseplants has become one of my absolute favorite hobbies & it’s so therapeutic & relaxing! It might be me-the-vegetarian talking, but I have a huge appreciate for plants ok go eat some veggies & #adoptaplant 🌼🌻💛 #plantparent

Can barely breathe from allergies (oh hello, fall!) but I made it through my first 2 weeks of law school 🙌🏻 count your blessings, right?! ♡
My allergies are seriously delaying filming any new videos & my skin struggles (if you’ve seen my stories) aren’t helping 😞 doing my best to take care of myself & hopefully be back to my best self soon!
