🧖‍♀️ Self Care Saturday ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This

🧖‍♀️ Self Care Saturday ⁣
⁣
⁣
This has been such a difficult concept for me. I have let so many aspects of my health and wellness slide in an effort to better my business. All while forgetting that to better my business, I must first better myself. ⁣
⁣
Y’all know my words for this year: 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭, 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘥. This year I have, with intention and kindness to myself, focused on self care. This has included—⁣
⁣
☀️ Sleep. At least a full eight hours, with a full hour of zero phone before bed time. I have also set a firm ‘Do Not Disturb’ for bed time, so I have less temptation to check *and let’s be honest, answer* late night notifications. ⁣
⁣
☀️ Water. And lots of it! My goal is at minimum my body weight in ounces of water. ⁣
⁣
☀️ The Outside. I have been straight laser focused on my skin. Now that I’m officially “in my 30’s”, I have recognized that 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 > makeup. My skincare routine has increased, and my makeup routine decreased. Most days - like today! - is tinted moisturizer/spf and lip gloss. ⁣
⁣
☀️ Inside. What goes in is what comes out. I have been much more conscious of the food, ingredients and drink going in to my body. Which is why I was straight 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗 when Rae asked for my opinion on their supplements. I have already been using their multivitamin, but I recently added their 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 and 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 drops to my daily. And oh my lanta! A quick dropper in my water or coffee and I’m done. I noticed a huge difference through the winter, when I’m typically feeling at my lowest...the immunity booster helped keep me thriving. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Next to add to my wellness campaign is lifting 💪 So if you have recommendations on trainers or virtual programs, let ya girl know! ⁣

✨ It goes by in such a whirl ✨⁣ ⁣ I mean,

✨ It goes by in such a whirl ✨⁣
⁣
I mean, for real. You wake up on wedding day, bright eyed and bushy-tailed and in the next instant— 𝙒𝘼𝙈. It’s over.⁣
⁣
That’s the main reason I advocate for hiring a professional hair and makeup team for your wedding day. Those hours are some of the few precious moments you have to spend in the peace of 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 wedding day. ⁣
⁣
How about a few other reasons of why a pro is a game changer?! ⁣
💄 They understand the difference between every day makeup and makeup that will translate well to film with an all day last. Certain products, techniques, and colors that will make you *𝘱𝘰𝘱* in those photos and last the whole 12 hour wedding day ⁣
💄 They work off a palette for your wedding day, ensuring your bridal party has a completely cohesive look ⁣
💄 They will make you look like a queen...FAST. These artists are skilled at their craft and can complete your look to perfection in as little as 45 minutes.⁣
⁣
How about we celebrate all our hair and makeup artists today? Take a look at how relaxed these brides are, working with some of our favorite teams 🖤

Thank you, by the way! So many people have reached out to ask how the RV is doing in this ridiculous cold, and have offered support however needed. For real, we have the best community and I am so so thankful for y’all! ⁣
⁣
It has been an interesting winter. I don’t remember having near the amount of challenges last year as we are this year. There were some big moves made in case of a cold winter, and thank goodness! ⁣
⁣
If you’re looking to tiny home, I’d recommend doing the same to be best prepared:⁣
⁣
✔️ Purchased and filled a 500g propane tank ⁣
✔️ Heated water hoses (and even in this cold they’ve frozen, so next year I’ll know to wrap them in heated tape and insulate them better)⁣
✔️ Insulate the open bottom of the RV — has made a huge difference in how hard the heaters have had to work!⁣
✔️ Have a generator and keep gas on hand (🙏 my mistake, did not have much gas on hand and then the power went out this morning. Whoops)⁣
✔️ Keep your water tank filled! Thankfully this was done prior to the water hoses freezing. So I’m boondocking and conserving it for a bit — goodbye coffee maker and hello full sink of dirty dishes 😭⁣
⁣
It’s cold, KC. Stay safe, keep warm, and if there’s anything you need— We’re here. ⁣

I know, I know. It’s probably not what you’re used to hearing. Wedding Planners and Vendors *𝘣𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦* appear tight lipped and self contained. Community and collaboration seems non-existent. And all forward momentum looks to be gained with a ‘Me’ mentality versus ‘We’. As a new vendor to the wedding industry, it can be overwhelming and push you to close up shop before ever getting started. ⁣
⁣
⁣
I’m here to blow the lid on this one though! We are 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮 to live in a city that prioritizes community. That values collaboration with what would normally be a ‘competitor’. That approaches our industry with an 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻 mindset. And that knows the value in lifting each other up collectively. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The biggest change and growth Whatever Is Lovely Events experienced was when I finally put myself out there and said “I’m not going to live this way”. I knew from the beginning I’d never want to be an island. We just wanted to love on everybody— couples, wedding planners, and vendors alike. So I dived headfirst in to the Kansas City wedding market, bright eyed and bushy tailed with a smile and open heart. ⁣
⁣
And 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗟𝗬. The response was quite literally overwhelming. The core current of the local wedding industry is first and foremost centered around community. I couldn’t believe how everyone welcomed each other with wide, open arms. It was then I knew Kansas City was something special. ⁣
Vendors, how about a few photos from past vendor choice awards?! We are definitely missing on y’all this last year and can’t wait to celebrate again 💃 ⁣
⁣
⁣
If you’re planning your wedding in KC— CONGRATS. You literally have the best teams available to you 🖤 Rest assured in the knowledge that each of your vendors is busy behind the scenes, working together to make sure your day is 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙀𝘾𝙏. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Tag your wedding vendors to show them how thankful you are for them. ⁣
⁣
Vendors, tag your industry pals. We’re all in this together, so how about some virtual hugs all around today 🤗
