Feminism for the Win, in the US and Worldwide

Yes, sometimes the fight for gender equality is overwhelming. I still enjoy celebrating our feminist wins! | Belle Brita

If you’ve been a feminist for a long time, sometimes the battle for gender equality feels like the song that never ends. Seriously, the United States didn’t pass the 19th Amendment until 1920–less than 100 years ago. The Seneca Falls Convention was in 1848. That’s how long it took for women nationwide to earn the… [Read More]

September Goals // August Recap

Every month, I reflect on the previous month and set goals for the new one. These are my goals for September 2015. | Belle Brita

My August goals were ambitious because I assumed that with all the time I was saving not working a 9-5 job, I’d be able to accomplish more. I didn’t consider the emotional and psychological ramifications of still grieving my mom. I had some days this past month when I considered my day a success because… [Read More]

I Didn’t Keep My Maiden Name

I didn't keep my maiden name when I got married... But I didn't change my surname either. Aka the problem with calling a woman's last name her "maiden name." | Belle Brita

My husband and I have been married for almost 18 months. I think that means we’re still newlyweds. I know we still have a lot to learn about married life. It’s not easy blending two big personalities together into one harmonious couple… but we make it work. Much of what I’m learning about marriage is… [Read More]

I hope y’all enjoy these random facts about me and my sponsors as much as I do! What You Don’t Know About Me 1. The main reason I don’t wear makeup very often is because I’m too lazy at the end of the night to remove it. I take good care of my skin. I… [Read More]

Thankful Thursday: Dealing with My Mother’s Death

More than six weeks after my mother's death, I'm thankful for the outpouring of love and support my family has received. | Belle Brita

My mom died just over six weeks ago. Some days are better than others. I recently attended my friend Leah’s wedding. My best friend/college roommate Rachel spent the weekend with Dan and me. My Kappa Big Dani officiated the wedding. Our reunion was wonderful! Even though we did talk about my mom, it was in… [Read More]

Wedding Reception at the Greenwood Museum

Both the wedding cake and the groom's cake should reflect the couple's personality. Cake toppers are a great way to personalize a wedding cake! | Belle Brita

The Planning Process When Dan and I started planning our wedding receptions, the only date on the calendar was our wedding in San Antonio. The dates for our South Carolina reception and our Ohio receptions were flexible. We chose them based on venue availability. My initial idea for the reception in Greenwood was my parents’… [Read More]
