I started The Blushing Blog to serve as a creative outlet for my two biggest passions in life: weddings and beauty. In a past internet life, I was among the first group of teenage "beauty gurus" on YouTube, uploading makeup and fashion hauls, tutorials, and "What's In My Purse" videos for my nearly 40,000 subscribers in 2009. YouTube was a wonderful place back then, but as it began to stray away from its original community of creators and I grew further into my high school years, I left that world behind. I am making my return to the internet now, as a wedding coordinator. I still have an interest in all things makeup and skincare, and created this space to bring these two interests together since they often work hand in hand!


Weddings tend to focus on the "aesthetics." The most beautiful flowers. The most beautiful wedding dress. I wanted to look my best at my wedding. This was going to be one of the best days of my life and I would look at these photographs forever! Of course I feel more confident in a perfectly altered dress with professional hair and makeup than in yesterday's sweats with day four hair and a bare face.

At the end of the day, I feel most confident when I'm prepared.

I'm in control of the situation (like Yelping a restaurant's menu ahead of time or stalking the location's tag on Instagram to see what other people have worn) so I'm not stressed about what to expect. I've allowed enough time to get ready and pick a great outfit. I commit to skincare routines and do extensive research on the products I use and their ingredients.


I love being able to share my experience planning my wedding and helping other brides prepare for their big day. From budgeting to facials, painstakingly designing every aspect of décor and every minute of the timeline, I'm spilling it all so I can help you feel a little more prepared. A little more confident. A little more beautiful.
