    Our Kentucky Wedding 7.31.21

    I cannot believe that it has almost been six months since our wedding! I feel like I could write a 10-page blog post on all things wedding details, advice to future brides, and all the crazy ins and outs of the planning process but I will try my best to give you an overall view and a giant photo dump to do the trick!

    If you love learning about Skincare as much as me, you are in for a treat! I was introduced to Follain about 2 years ago when I moved to the DMV area. My roommate at the time loved clean beauty and I would always see the products in our bathroom!
