  • Just in case you needed the reminder that you are awesome. Saying bless your heart to the potential client who thought I was going to do a full campaign (press release, email, and social media updates with images) for them in exchange for the chance to work for them part time. I can’t make this stuff up, y’all. I am a goal digger, but I am not an idiot sandwich. It amuses and amazes me that some clients can fix their fingers to send me things like that. Do you have any out of pocket client stories you want to share? Leave them in the comments below so we can commiserate together. Also, while you are at it use my code THA15 to get 15% off your purchase at @metalmarvels so you have badass bangles like this to remind you to know your worth.
  • My spring afternoon routine includes a ton of sitting outside and reading. I got the newest Kindle and it’s such a blessing for my outside and before bed reading time. It’s got a light so I can read my Kindle books in the dark in my room. It’s small enough to fit in my bag when I go outside. I can also read it no matter if I’m reading laying down or sitting up. I am currently reading Atomic Habits by @james_clear and it’s so good! It’s such an easy read that is giving me a ton of ideas on how to form better habits. What are you reading right now?
  • When you realize at the end of your photo shoot that your new favorite @lanebryant dress also has pockets. You honestly can’t tell me anything in this dress y’all. It’s yellow which is my power color. What you is your favorite color to wear?
  • #AD: Spring has sprung and I am so excited to partner with my friends at @zerowater000 this week to chat about the lifestyle changes I am making this season thanks to them. Using my ZeroWater pitcher helps me drink more water while feeling more in control about what I put in my body. Check out the link in my bio to learn more about ZeroWater and all my spring lifestyle changes. #ZeroWater #LiveLifeAtZero⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #TheHappyArkansan #HealthyLifestyle #DrinkYourWater #DrinkMoreWater #DrinkWaterDaily #StayHydrated #HydrateYourself #HealthyHabit #PhotosInBetween ⁣ #theblogissue #howyouglow #wandeleurspark #TNCHustler #SpringStyle #creativelifehappylife #handsandhustle #HealthyHabits #HealthyAndHappy #HealthierLife #myunicornlife #oneofthebunch #healthychoices #abmhappylife #livefullyalive #colorhunters #popyacolour #darlingdaily
  • Just a girl posing with her house plants outside for a photo shoot. Just the blogger things in life, am I right? Also, I finally got to play around with these Winter Wonderland presets from @heleneinbetween even though it was very hot outside (80 degrees here in Arkansas.) I got this plant from @thesill because I recently signed up for their low-light plant subscription because I am on my way to be a plant 🌱 lady.
  • One of my favorite things about the platform that I am building is I get to live my best life and encourage other women to do the same. In recent years I have come into my own fashion wise. I've begun to express myself more through fashion and document that on The Happy Arkansan. I love that I can share cute clothes with you all. More than that, I can share the concept that plus size fashion can be beautiful, flirty, bright, colorful, and whatever you want it to be. You don't have to hide behind a giant swath of material. Wear something formfitting, experiment with crop tops, wear the brightest colors you can find, etc. I am so proud of how far plus size fashion has come. More stores are picking up on the importance of catering to various sizes, and it's fantastic. Still don't know where to get plus size clothes? I updated one of my favorite posts today with four new stores. Go to the link in my bio to check out my plus size clothes post for all the inspiration on where to buy your clothes as a curvy chick. Where are your favorite stores for plus size clothes?
