Minimalist Blossoms

May 4, 2017 Julien Garman

Over the past few weeks (let’s be honest - it’s been months), I’ve felt deeply discouraged when I visit any news website or turn on the TV. This world is a crazy place to live, and at times it really gets me down.

But the deeper I go into the rabbit hole, the easier is to slide further down at a faster rate. Do you ever feel this way?

I invite you to join me in a focus shift that I’ve been trying to do these past few months. I’m not saying ignore the news, or to let injustice slide. Not at all. But I do think that it has to be balanced with a little positivity.

Instead of: The blossoms have all basically died
Try: The sweet smell and blush tone of the minimalist blossoms inspire me

Instead of: I can’t believe I’m stuck in the office all day
Try: Maybe I’ll pop out for a minute to feel the sunshine on my face, or for a super quick workout in our office gym

We grew up with my dad telling us that happiness was a choice. While it was definitely the most annoying thing that anyone could say in the midst of an argument, I’ve learned that he was right. While circumstances aren’t always ideal, our attitude doesn’t have to match it.

I invite you to find joy in the little things today. Never stop seeking out gratefulness, perspective, and the sunshine.

I’ve been looking for an all-natural way to brighten my teeth during pregnancy and so glad I found @biancosmile and their activated charcoal powder! Plus I have really sensitive teeth and this has been great for me so far! Want to try? Get 15% off your order with code: JULIEN15 😁
Paris or Georgetown? I’ll never tell 😏
Nasty weather today but a cute blouse makes everything better, right?! 🤗 Shop this one and a few others I’m loving from @sezane in Stories or screenshot to shop this pic with the @liketoknow.it  app! http://liketk.it/2vr9K #liketkit #sezane #boho #frenchstyle
A little bump’date: Baby G (as we have been calling her) aka our little coffee bean - is now the size of an eggplant! I’m just about 6 months in, on my last leg of wearing anything non-maternity, have bought 3 baby books and read none of them, craving sweets more than usual, and have trouble getting off my couch at nighttime 👍 #24weeks #maternitystyle #letote #amandauprichard
Back in high school, I was somewhat of an overachiever...and that's putting it lightly. I was captain of the varsity basketball team, a member of the choir, vice president of our class, a straight-A student, and an RA in our dorms. If I could go back and share something with myself and my friends through a yearbook quote, it'd be this: JUST BREATHE. ⭐️
And still now - I try my best to live life to the very fullest, but lately I've been learning that sometimes it's ok to step back, relax, and just breathe...to let go of the unrealistic expectations I put on myself and celebrate the person I am right here, right now. Being a member of the @almay #AlmayClassof2018 has reminded me that being unique, quirky, and just plain ol' myself is more than just ok - it's perfect. What yearbook quote do you live by these days? I'd love to know! #sponsored
Really hoping these April showers bring more of these 👆👆👆 Photo of the most magical tree in Georgetown (although I recently found out it’s technically a bush🧐) by @jahnschavez #georgetown #aprilshowers #flower_igers #flowerstagram
Not the worst way to wake up 💁🏼‍♀️ @ludlowhotelnyc #nyc #newyorkcity #ludlowhotel
6:00 is a good time for coffee, right?
24 weeks today!! Saw baby kick inside my tummy last night, which was definitely one of the coolest things I’ve experienced in this pregnancy so far! Also sporting this cool @ganni jacket I got from @theoutnet even though I wore it in the last post because 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ and I like it. Shop my look (all non-maternity except the skirt!) with the @liketoknow.it app or in Stories today! http://liketk.it/2vmBb #liketkit #LTKitbag
