Oh Hey, Girl.

HI! I am so excited, happy, and scared to begin this journey of blogging and sharing tips and tricks for beauty I have learned along the way. Which, is by the way NERVE-WRACKING! My Goodness I have a hard time sharing face to face with my besties let alone just tossing things out on the internet!  But, here I am! Going head first. 🙂

A little about me, my name is Sarah, I live outside Columbus, Ohio. (GO Bucks!) I have a husband and two boys, 8 and 5 and a sweet French Bulldog named Gracie. So essentially, I am the Queen of their world, and I like it just like that. 🙂

What has brought me here is a passion for all the pretty things.  I have been so inspired by my friends and family here in OH to share all my how-to’s on beauty, clothing and style. I get asked all the time about how I do different things about hair and makeup and I kind of think the best way to help show you is to just blog about it.

And I tell you, I know you have a soft spot in your heart for a good sweatshirt (like me, duh).  This sweatshirt is legit, me ;)… Just so, so Extra. I LIKE matching my workout clothes to my shoes. I LIKE wearing matching cozy clothes around the house. I LIKE putting cranberries in the champagne drink for a family night. I also happen to LIKE trying out new makeup ideas even when I’m just sitting around the house. It makes me feel good about what I’m bringing to the table. That’s just who I am. Being “extra” isn’t a bad thing, like, at all! I feel like it just means that you put in the effort. And actually, when I don’t put in that effort for myself, it makes me feel disappointed. The feeling that I could have tried and I just was bring too lazy.  Kinda like the time you go to the grocery in some crazy outfit, no makeup- hair all crazy and you’re thinking you will never see anyone – so “who cares”. Guess what though, we ALWAYS DO. Then we feel bad about ourselves.  I HATE THAT FEELING….So I guess I am going to OWN being a little Extra, so what?! And I’m definitely not saying that I ONLY mean makeup, beauty and clothes. Lord knows that is not the only thing in life! Be Extra with Kindness, we NEED that! Be Extra with being a good Wife and Mother. All these things are going to make a difference in the world.

Anyway, through my blog, I’m hoping to let my friends in on a little piece of me. The “Extra” that helps me feel like I am taking it to the next level.  I hope we can all enjoy this journey together, wherever it takes us. And maybe it will inspire you to do that for yourself. I’m not saying it has to be exactly me, just be what is exactly you.
