The Importance of a Clean Home Environment
It’s an honor to have a space to make beautiful and keep clean for those I love.
Prioritizing Clean Floors
Keeping the floors clean is a top priority, but I refuse to compromise anyone’s health with toxic cleaners. You know me.
Why Carpet Cleaning Matters:
Dirty carpets are eyesores; and can be unhealthy, even causing allergies.. The carpets we love are like magnets for dirt, dust, allergens, and bacteria. Over time, this buildup can lead to stinky odors and health issues, especially if you have kids or pets running around like we do! It's a chain reaction you don't want.
The Non-Toxic Approach:
Did you know that some essential oils clean like a beast and are potent stain fighters? It's true! I've found a blend that works wonders on my floors without any harsh chemicals. Germs can't adapt to true, authentic, pure essential oils! So it only makes sense to me to clean my carpets with them!

I adore having beautiful photos with the ones I love. In fact, I believe it's important to take bookoos of photos with my family because it's the photos that will trigger memories of our sweet life together later. However, finding the perfect outfits for those photo shoots can be a big pain. Anyone else feel that way? Well I recently discovered a website that rents a variety of brands. Yes, RENTS! That means you can rent and enjoy something that might be out of your budget to purchase. Or if you're like me and you also don't like having an overstuffed closet, clothes rental might be perfect for you, too. So now let's look at how to select photos for your photo shoot.(Get $20 off HERE)
- Choose a Mood: Take a moment to understand the mood you hope to capture. Are you going for a casual outdoor look, or a formal portrait? Playful or serious? Understanding the context will help you narrow down your options and create a cohesive look that complements the overall vibe of the photos.
- Choose Flattering Colors: Wearing colors you feel beautiful in will play a crucial role in how you feel during the shoot. I recommend having your colors professionally done because there's a science to undertones, overtones, all the tones. But if you don't have time for that, make sure you FEEL beautiful in what you choose. I opt for colors that will look good in our home in the case I choose to print a photo.
- Dress for Your Body Type: Of course, highlight your best features by choosing outfits that flatter your body type. If you're unsure, stick to universally flattering silhouettes like A-line dresses, tailored blazers, or well-fitted jeans. Avoid overly baggy or tight clothing, as they may distract from your natural beauty.
- Accessorize Wisely: Be careful not to over accessorize. You want your face to be the object not your necklace. Choose carefully.
- Consider the Location:The setting of your photo shoot can influence your outfit choice. If you're shooting in a natural environment, such as a park or beach, opt for casual, breathable fabrics. For urban settings or formal portraits, more polished and structured clothing may be appropriate. Always consider the practical aspects of your location, such as temperature and terrain.
- Comfort is Key:No matter how stunning your outfit looks, if you're uncomfortable, it will show in your photos. As you can see in these photos, I decided to take off my shoes because they were not comfortable. Prioritize comfort when selecting your attire, especially if the shoot involves movement or various poses. Confidence is the key to a successful photoshoot, and feeling comfortable in your clothes will help you exude that confidence effortlessly.
Conclusion:Finding the right outfit for a photo shoot is a creative process that involves thoughtful consideration of various factors. By understanding the theme, choosing flattering colors, dressing for your body type, accessorizing wisely, considering the location, planning for wardrobe changes, and prioritizing comfort, you can ensure that your outfit enhances the visual impact of your photos. So, go ahead, strike a pose, and let your style shine in every frame.

It was getting late..No matter how many times I checked the clock or peeked out the window,
