  • I spent some time this weekend manifesting what I want to create the year. It's the first time I have really put my goals and inspiration onto paper. I can't wait to see all that 2020 has to offer. ✨ I'd love to know if you've ever made a vision board?
  • HELLO! There are some new faces here so I am going to share a little bit about myself and I would love to learn a little more about you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. I live in Salt Lake City. If you ever visit you have to check out this mural. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. I started my business Beautiful Detour when I decided to take a year off of college and travel. Since then it has expanded beyond what I could have imagined in 2014. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. I hate anything mint flavored.

  • Okay you guys I have been waking up about one hour earlier than I need to and using that extra 60-minutes to set myself up for success. Here are some of the things I’ve done during that time: • read one chapter of a book • meditate • update old blog posts with new info • reading/learning about TikTok • create a new email sequence ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are all things that have been on my to-do list for SO LONG. So I challenge you to stop scrolling or wake up early or use your lunch break to do something that gets you closer to your goals.
  • What helps you get out of a creative rut on a day to day basis? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my favorite ways to get inspired and get a little jolt of energy is by taking walks in my neighborhood. But all this snow makes it a little difficult to do some days, so I’d love to know some of your tricks.
