How do YOU Define Brave?

We are all brave in our own unique way & I wanted to share some examples of how I see the women in my life as brave:

•My mom is brave because she has a disease that causes her to be in pain constantly & yet she still goes to work & gives it her all everyday 🤍
•My oldest sister is brave by choosing to homeschool her son this year & also the daily struggle it is for her to live far from family 💗
•My other sister is brave by being 33 weeks pregnant, working full time as a physical therapist, & spending every other waking moment working on the building of her new home ❤️
•I #definebrave for myself by setting boundaries even when it’s hard & uncomfortable & by continuing to grow & try to be a better person 🧡

I am so happy to be partnering with katiekactive in their #definebrave campaign! The purpose of this campaign is to celebrate women who inspire, motivate, & support others to be brave! 🖤
katiekactive is an inclusive activewear brand that carries sizes small to 3x. All the clothing pieces I’m wearing in these pictures were #gifted to me from their line & they’re so comfortable & cute (more on my stories!)

Petite Friendly Sweaters & Cardigans

I had a follower reach out looking for sweater & cardigans that are petite friendly.
I was able to find some great options from Old Navy, Asos, and J. Crew Factory! These are are all stores that have petite options & I love that, especially when it comes to clothing that can be overwhelming on a petite frame, like sweaters & cardigans.

Clothing That Makes a Difference

I am partnering with a company called Savelands that has an awesome mission: for every item they sell, they plant 12 trees! They have already planted over 1.5 million trees and counting. It is such a great mission & I am so excited to get to bring some awareness to it.

They also have the CUTEST graphic tees, sweatshirts, jackets, masks and crewnecks, so supporting the planting of trees can be fashionable too!

Here is the link to the crewneck I’m wearing! I’ll add the other items I’m wearing to the bottom of this post.

Simple Earrings That Make a Statement

I recently teamed up with Confetti Cat Co. to do a giveaway of two sets of her stunning, handmade, clay earrings. The giveaway goes until Monday September 7th, so go enter on my instagram if you haven’t already!

Amy is the owner of Confetti Cat Co. & just launched her online shop in August. Her newest collection, Starry Nights is my absolute favorite! She’s got moons & stars, studs, dangles, fun shapes & beautiful gold flecks.
The earrings in this collection range from $6-$16. The two pairs I picked were $16 each and Amy was kind enough to give me a code for you guys for 10% off: marissa10

These are the two sets I chose from that collection:

How gorgeous are these earrings?! They top off your outfit with such a fun statement!
I especially LOVE the gold flecks. Gives them a fun boho vibe & makes them match so well with my gold jewelry!
