The three stages of 2020, as told through my reaction to receiving a ladle 🍲
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1: Curiosity
'2020 is going to be my best year yet! I can't wait to see what the new year has in store for me'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2: Fear & anxiety
'What in the hell is happening to me? Is this the apocalypse? Why do we have a toddler in the White House?!'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3: Grin & bear it
🎶 Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye (and say goodbye)
Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change (Know)
Things'll go your way
If you Hold On for one more day, yeah
If you Hold On 🎶

This year didn’t look anything like I thought it would. In some ways, it was even better than I imagined. I feel tremendously grateful that I was able to visit my mom this year without hesitation. I realize that not everyone was quite so lucky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year @dannychaos138 taught me the importance of family and how to love. Both were things I *thought* I knew about, but actually had no idea. I’m so excited to grow and explore with him in 2021! 🍾

Pro tip: if you want to let your pup feel like they are off leash, but don't actually trust them (aka us), grab a 30' or a 50' leash (or even 100'). They feel free and you don't have to worry.

#Ad Working from home with my puppy is just one of the many reasons I’m a small business owner ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve worked for over a decade to make up for my willful financial ignorance when I was younger. Buying a home and preparing for the future never seemed like an attainable goal, so I didn’t bother to try. Financial security is far more important to me now and while I am making up for my mistakes, I still have a long way to go before I’m financially healthy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🎄If everything I wear is sparkly & metallic, maybe I'll finally feel festive 🎅

I know it can be tough to feel festive right now (I typed this sitting next to my half decorated Christmas tree and not having listened to a single holiday song). When @dannychaos138 & I shot these photos at the #lightsoftheozarks, I was blown away by how many people complimented me as we walked around the square. We deserve to feel beautiful, and we deserve to find joy, and we deserve to celebrate reaching the end of this d@mn year!

Speaking of celebrating, I partnered with @thecurvyfashionista and @mariedenee in honor of The Curvy Fashionista's 12th birthday! They are giving away 12 pieces - of your choice - from @modcloth. Enter via the link in my bio! #TCFturns12

🌟 What it's like to be a poll worker 🇺🇸⁣
⁣
Today I was officially sworn in as a poll worker and worked my first shift. It wasn't the most mentally stimulating work, but it was important.⁣
⁣
I loved seeing the diversity of my community and parents bringing their children along to share the importance of voting. Many voters thanked me for volunteering, but I wanted to thank them for voting.⁣
⁣
Shoutout to my fellow poll workers across the country 🤜 @mariedenee @cannontekstar @wardrobe_oxygen @mariadelrusso

⁣
Democracy requires participation to be truly representative, We need to all work together and recognize our individual responsibilities by participating in the process.⁣
⁣
If you haven't voted yet, please make sure you have a plan. If you can still register to vote in time for your state's election, I am begging you from the bottom of my heart to vote in this election. Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top.

#ad I felt safer staying in a hotel than I ever have while grocery shopping 😷

When I was first approached about a staycation trip with @21cbentonville, @crystalbridgesmuseum, and @themomentary, I was excited but cautious. There are so many factors to take into consideration before leaving our homes, so I was glad when I was sent information about how seriously they were taking public safety - not just for influencers.

At @21chotels, no one - including hotel staff - would be entering our room for 48 hours after we checked out. Our temperature was taken every time we entered the lobby and masks were required, even in the hallway on our floor. We were given a menu for both @thehivebentonville and snacks kept behind reception, hand sanitizer and wipes in the room, with sanitizer stations easily accessible throughout the hotel. When we were ready to check out, I called down to the front desk and let them know I was leaving. It was that simple.

I know that I'm not the only one who has to travel for work, which is why I wanted to share how comforted I was by the abundance of caution. Even my mom has already been required to travel for her job.

Should you find yourself away from home, here's what I recommend:

1: Call the hotel and ask about their policies. If you don't feel like they are prioritizing your health and the health of their staff, don't stay there if possible.

2: Scout where you'll want to get carryout & delivery from ahead of time. Naturally, we grabbed charcuterie plates to go from @sweetfreedomcheese because I'm spoiled.

3: If you are entering public spaces, like a museum, research their policies beforehand. @crystalbridgesmuseum requires masks and free timed tickets for entry in order to maintain 1/3 capacity. While @themomentary doesn't require timed tickets, you may be asked to wait to enter, also to maintain 1/3 capacity. The bonus about The Momentary, in particular, is there is so much to see & do outside. Grab a frozen drink from The Rhode Bar, play bocce ball, or lounge on the lawn.

There are absolutely ways to get outside the house and stay safe, even in your own backyard!

No matter how many times I see this message, it always makes me feel better. #youbelonghere 🤗⁣
⁣
Imagine feeling welcome in every room you walk into, or every chair you sit in, or every seat belt you buckle, or every store you shop. Oh, what a world *deep sigh* 🗺⁣
⁣
It's an impossible standard to achieve, but that won't stop me from working to ensure that someday someone will not know what it's like to feel someone's disdain for your existence or wonder if a dress comes in your size.⁣
⁣
Every time I visit @crystalbridgesmuseum or @themomentary, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having these inspiring spaces (with free admission!!) just 20 minutes away.⁣
⁣
Tell me, where do you wish you belonged?⁣

#AD Is there racism in heaven?⁣
⁣
That's the question that @nickcaveart explores in his exhibit #NickCaveUntil⚡, now open at @themomentary through January 3, 2021.⁣ #autumnartinarkansas
⁣
This work is designed to question gender, race, and violence - particularly gun violence - in America.⁣
⁣
On this, the evening of the first Presidential debate, I cannot imagine a more important conversation to have with ourselves, our neighbors, and our loved ones. Is this who we want to be? Is this the future we imagined as we poured our energy and bank accounts chasing some dream that may never be attainable?⁣
⁣
If you live in #nwark, I hope you will take the opportunity to visit this thought-provoking exhibit, if for no reason other than the fact that you get to climb a giant ladder onto a chandeliered cloud.⁣
