I absolutely loved wearing this little polka dot slip dress when I was in Scottsdale, AZ.  How cute is that cactus garden behind me too?! It matched perfectly with my outfit ha!

Anyways, I always post about just fashion and fitness, which are both passions of mine, but I thought it would be fun for y’all to get to know me a little bit better! So, here are:

 30 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

  1. I’m the baby of the family and my brother and sister {Harold/Marilyn} are twins.
  2. I hate peanut butter, but I frequently eat it anyways.
  3. I have a *thing* for candles, specifically Yankee Candles. My closet is stocked, since I burn through them all the time.
  4. My favorite color is blue.
  5. I’m Lebanese and can make some mean hummus.
  6. I used to be a tennis player up until college…and now I’m thinking about getting back into it.
  7. I have a fear of heights.
  8. Reading Harry Potter calms me {my fave book is HP6}.
  9. My dad and I bond by washing our cars together.
  10. I have a birth mark on my tush.
  11. I’ve never been to Europe.
  12. I skipped first grade because I was a #champ at adding, subtracting, and nap time.
  13. I aggressively lotion my body every night as part of my nightly routine…and it takes forever.
  14. My favorite show is New Girl.
  15. A steak dinner is the way to my heart.
  16. My ears were pierced when I was a baby by the doctor, and I still have the pearl earrings that I had worn.
  17. I have my masters in bioengineering.
  18. I used to consistently have nightmares about my teeth falling out {luckily not anymore ha!}
  19. In an emergency, I call Marilyn before my parents.
  20. I went to my first baseball game {ever} a few months ago…and it was, most likely, my last.
  21. I only like to eat pancakes at nighttime.
  22. I’m allergic to grass.
  23. Many of my close friends call me Gracie.
  24. I prefer red wine over white, specifically a cab.
  25. I love cookies and cream anything.  ANYTHING, I tell you.
  26. I have scars all over my body, because I’m so dang clumsy.  It seems like there’s always a bandaid on me somewhere.
  27. I have to be wearing socks when I fall asleep.
  28. I’m a good cook, but horrible baker.
  29. I’ve never been stung by a bee or wasp.
  30. I don’t like cucumbers, even though they’re made up of 90% water.
  1. I swear 20 of these 30 items could have been mine 🙂 I used to play tennis as well and recently picked it back up. One of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s so much fun and seriously a great workout!

  2. Sarah says:

    Love getting to know you more! Share your hummus recipe skills!

  3. Jacquelyn says:

    Whose your favorite tennis player male and female? And if it’s not to personal, what do you do with that degree. Live this by the way.

  4. Lynna says:

    Such a fun post! I’m totally with you on the lotion thing lol every night I’m like why does this take so freaking long?!? Do you have any favs? I love Kiehl’s creme de corps but I’m constantly looking for new lotions to try out. 🙂

  6. i always enjoy getting to know people. i wouldn’t think bio anything for your degree, only b/c that is so right brain/left brain with how i think about blogging! and i love your answer to the person who asked what you do with the degree, lol! never been to europe…change that, my friend.

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.

I’m just an everyday gal who can go from gym to glam in record timing. I run on sarcasm & coffee on the weekdays and sass & vino on the weekends! I strive to stay fit, stylish, and healthy, while also trying to be the very best version of myself (sounds easy enough, right?).   MEET GRACE ⟶
