I love finding new songs to put on repeat, and listening to my favorite songs is my most favorite way to relax and unwind. Music can be so powerful and comforting. I’ve shared some of my favorite Christian and inspirational songs on the blog before, like in this post here, and today I thought I’d share ten songs I’ve been enjoy[...]
As I write this, the sun is finally shining through my house, casting light off the solid dusting of snow we’ve had for this month. I’m already dreaming of warm days, and all this sunshine teases me into thinking we’re already there… With that said, it’s hard to believe the first month of the year is already over with! I mention[...]
When it comes to opening presents, I’m still a kid at heart. I remember on Christmas Eve this year, a few hours before supper, I asked my mom, “When are we eating presents?” I had meant to ask when we were eating, since we always open our presents after supper, but clearly my excitement got ahead of me. As the moment finally ca[...]
Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve had a fascination with fashion. You could definitely say it’s become more of a passion with age, but there was always that spark there. My mom has shown me a lot of pictures of me when I was a baby and toddler, and she always picked out the cutest outfits for me, so maybe that’s what instilled in[...]
I’ve always been attracted to the glitz and glam in life, along with pink, of course. Since sparkles are a key element in my personal style (as they are in my blog name, haha), I have made it my mission to incorporate as many sparkly fashion items into my wardrobe as possible. Unfortunately, this isn’t always easy to do, since sparkle[...]

I’ve always been one to have big aspirations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve also noticed how year after year, some of the things keep getting listed over and over as my goals. Maybe you can relate? It’s certainly n[...]
Despite feelings of sadness that arose upon having to leave Calgary, I was also feeling a sense of excitement and curiosity at what was to come—a mindset this trip instilled in me for not only our actual vacation, but about life in general. As I go into recapping these last few exciting days of our trip—where we were surprised and exc[...]
This was the day of my trip that made my dreams come true. That may be a little dramatic but not really because I have been dying to see real skyscrapers since I’m pretty sure the BUILDINGS in Des Moines don’t classify as that. As Calgary was our main destination on this trip, I was thrilled to finally start exploring all this big cit[...]
Seeing mountains for the first time is hard to take in at first. That’s what the next two days of our trip mainly consisted of, but we were also blessed to be staying at this nice hotel with an awesome rooftop hot tub. And, on these couple days, we ran into a couple problems along the way, but they got resolved thanks to God. This post[...]
