My concentration face is just too real🤓 💃🏼 @ireneannofficial shooting for @lyravegabridal at @warehouse_xi 💇🏼‍♀️ by @themermaidsailor Some moms are extra special. This one ☝🏼 is #1 🤩 such a fantastic human! • 📸 @mstudiosri 💐 @sayleslivingstondesign 🏰 @glenmanorhouse 👗 @moniquelhuillier @moniquelhuillierbride 👰🏼 @alenakbert 👩‍👧 @mamahaltz “Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” -Sophia Loren • This time of year is routinely difficult for me, as it is for so many of us in New England. The winter months are surely a struggle bus 🙄 I’ve been trying to find the best way to feel not so icky and sluggish. Today I decided to reread a book that helped me make some big changes in my mindset a few years back. “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay (RIP). It’s pretty magical 🧙🏼‍♀️ • What’s your favorite way to re-energize and get some pep in your step during the winter time? • 📸 @riamackenziephotography 👰🏻 @nancy_fance

That’s exactly what my #concierge service is all about! I get to make you look and FEEL like a goddess throughout your entire day! Imagine having your own Beauty Butler around for your whole Wedding day experience. Yeah, it’s kinda a big deal 🎉 • • 📸 @riamackenziephotography 👰🏻 @nancy_fance I make shoe contact before I make eye contact 👠👠👠 • • How strong is your wedding day shoe game?!? • • 👗 @lyravegabridal 📸 @riamackenziephotography I don’t always post a photo in black & white, but when I do it’s of my Team and I doing our thang! • • I love color so much!! My hair is PINK and so is my soul! I swear! The internet told me so with a quiz. Here’s how is described me: “Pink souls have an easygoing, approachable energy. You come from a place of assuming the good outweighs the basin everyone and every situation. Witty and smart you sparkle socially particularly in small groups. You’re caring and encouraging demeanor nurtures your longtime friendships. You genuinely revel in the success and happiness of others, especially your friends and family. Compassionate, perhaps to a fault, you are the one those closer to you depend on when they need a shoulder to cry on or a boost of confidence. All is well from your pink perspective and the saying about seeing the world through rose colored glasses sums it up. Peace, harmony, and calmness are important to your daily routine but you appreciate letting loose on occasion and enjoy embracing all the fun life has to offer” • • Is that me?!?! Definitely! 📸 @riamackenziephotography for @lyravegabridal featuring @themakeuplight at @warehouse_xi So many favorite things about this photo. Especially @kait_guidi 💕 such a beautiful soul inside and out! I haven’t forgotten about you my love! Finals are over tomorrow! I will be in touch 🥰🥰🥰 • • 📸 @riamackenziephotography 👗 @lyravegabridal Rentals: @uniquelychicvintagerentals

I'm not quite sure how I fell out of the habit but I woke up thinking about it today. I'm setting a new intention to write 5 things that I'm grateful for. I'm going to write them down when I wake up instead of at night as an experiment. Writing them in the evening always sent me off to dream land feeling full and light but I think it would be even better to carry the gratitude throughout the day. • • Today's list is simple, I am grateful for: - my winter coat, because I leave the house before the sun comes up and it's frigid! -coffee, because duhhhh -cousins, because no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other or talked, nothing changes, our relationships always overflow with love and joy -my teenager, Kiara's teen years are challenging, but I wouldn't change it. We both learn so much from each other through the ups and downs. -my Type A personality, because being organized truly rocks!!! • • What are you grateful for today? How do you carry your gratitude throughout the day? . .

Boogie woogie woogie 👩🏼‍🎤🍷🧖🏼‍♀️💕 wish I had these cookies in my treatment room!! • • Repost:: Very cute spa cookies spotted on @ebjdayspa’s page!💕😍 Congrats on your anniversary! #spalife #dayspamagazine #wellness #treatments #skincare #relaxation #yoga #relax #massage #facial #spa #spaworld #pampering #spa #beauty #spabusiness As much as I love slaving over a hot stove 🙄, my one and only job each thanksgiving is to bring the Champagne 🍾 but I always bring backup wine 🍷 for good measure lol • • My family is BIG and always growing. We’re Brazilian so we like to mix our American traditions up a bit. There is always choriçe in our stuffing and we definitely drinks lots of caipirinha throughout the day! Last year we went through the entire bag of limes I brought and them some! These traditions usually include changing into adult onsie pajamas and having serious dance offs with my cousins in the kitchen. Unless of course, I’ve passed out drooling on the couch next to my uncle and the dogs 🐶 🤣🤣 we are party people and thanksgiving is always my favorite day of the year! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @kengelphotography I’m a sucker for a cute pup and florals, so I couldn’t help but clap and jump with glee when I came across this fur baby!! • • Repost: @truebride Did you know there is an actual science behind cuteness?? That's why we can't help but fall in love with Frank here, and every flower wearing doggy we see, it's just too cuuuuute!! Repost @annelimphoto shot at @thorpemanor Styling & floral design @revivalrooms Feeling so much gratitude this season 🍂 • • My main goals this year have been to expand my education range and create new connections and true friendships with other wedding vendors. Well, I’m proud to say I’ve accomplished both of these!!! I’ve increased my knowledge through attending esthetics school. Graduation is right around the corner (4 more weeks, but who’s counting)!! I’ve also put myself out there and made so many new Friendors!! • • This image by @JessicaKFeiden brings me so much joy!!! It’s my place setting 🍽 from the best event I’ve ever been a part of, #FRIENDORSGIVING 🍗 I had the pleasure of meeting so many of the vendors I’ve admired via Instagram and have already had the chance to collaborate with some of them! I’m looking forward to creating more magic with all of them and continuing to grow our newfound friendships. Cheers 🥂 to knowledge, friendships, and many more years of magic ✨ • • Table Design @kellysgolia Calligraphy @mollygracemakes • • Event Hosts: @katemurtaugh @kellysgolia Venue: @weatherlow_farms Calligraphy, Stationery, + Signage: @mollygracemakes @Blacktulipcalligraphy Desserts: @lizzies_bakery Florals: @alexagallishawflorals @centralsquareflorist @wilddahlia_ @bloom.52 @weatherlow_florals Hair: @makingyouglow @tada_style Makeup: @_jennyluu @alinesarkisbeauty Photography: @janellecarmelaphotography @efrancovitchphoto @laurendobish @kengelphotography @katherinebrackmanphotography @erica_pezente @erinkavanaughphotography @lynnereznickphoto Planning + Design: @heatherdawnevents @eventsbycarianne Videography: @oliveeweproductions Catering: @paladarkitchen Cocktails: @littlebittecocktails
