I’ve tried drinking ACV before, (see my apple cider vinegar drink experience here) and I enjoyed it, however for some people ACV can be hard to consume this…

First Valentines Day I wanted to get Trinity something cute to wear for her first Valentines Day, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something overly thematic that she may never wear again. I found this cute 3-piece outfit for less than $20 on Amazon. Color & Sizing There were many very cute color options, but I chose a color scheme called “Ercu With Hearts” because it doesn’t scream Valentines Day and she can wear it…

But the truth of the matter is, no wedding outfit, for anyone, from the bride to the most random guest, will be that simple. Yes, it can be easily put together with…
