Inspiration: 5 Things

Vacation and a busy schedule has kept me away from this blog- but I'm back in full force! There are 5 things in my life giving me little happy doses of inspiration, so here they are!

Peace Tea is an all-time favorite drink of mine. I originally bought one because the can looked particularly cool, but they also taste amazing! Finding new flavors like Sno-Berry and Georgia Peach have been great on my vacation.

Fair trade is a cause I've been part of since I was in high school. I regularly volunteer at the fair trade store Ten Thousand Villages, and last month I became part of their Houston media team. I'm honored and excited to be a voice for their fair trade message. You can see what I post on their Facebook page and their Instagram for photos like this one showing off their fair trade products.

Ed Sheeran's new album X has been on repeat ever since I bought it. So far my favorite songs are One, I'm A Mess, Tenerife Sea, Afire Love, and I See Fire.

I happened upon this dusty pink dress on the clearance rack in Anthropologie, and I'm in love with the details. I'll be wearing it to a wedding later this month.

In honor of Steak 'n Shake's 80th birthday, they have a special birthday cake shake right now. I've talked before on this blog about eating healthy, but sometimes (especially on vacation) you should just eat the dang milkshake. Life is short, and it is also full of delicious treats, some of which you should sample. Being from Houston, there are no Steak 'n Shake restaurants close to where I live, so being in Illinois, I thought it made sense to take advantage of where I was.

What's inspiring you in your life? Whether it be a new volunteer position, a drink, or a dress, it's important to take note of and appreciate it!
