Life Begins At The End Of Your Comfort Zone

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” - Neale Donald Walsch

I wore this quote on a chain around my neck for years. It is crazy that I read these 9 words and give them credit for making me into the woman I am today. But it is also the person who bought me that necklace and pushed me to grow, learn and be brave that I give credit to. My mom.

I have never been one to blend in. I have always wanted to follow the trends but in my own colorful Carley way!

Trends now-a-days are (a lot of the time) very neutral colors. Which some days I am all about, don’t get me wrong. BUT - it’s just not me haha! I love to express myself with color, and sparkles, and fringe, and rhinestones, and all of the fun things in life. I know for a fact I am not the only one!

Why did I start my blog?

To know me is to know I’m a little bit of a wild card. I have always been the type of girl that wanted to do a little bit of everything. I changed my major a million times in college. My mom would ask me what I wanted to be, and one day it would be a chef… three days later I wanted to be a dolphin trainer, own a greenhouse, run a fashion boutique, be a photographer, a teacher, a meteorologist, a real estate agent, a Disney princess… you get the point. I want to do it all!!!

I went through a phase of being complacent, or losing that spark I’ve always had. I wanted something to work hard for and to grow. Then, it hit me. Why can’t I do it all? A little bit of everything that makes me happiest all mixed into one – and share it with others (because I know I can’t be the only one to feel this way lol). So, here we are. I threw out the idea to my parents, who support me in all of my crazy ideas, and I got the ball rolling.

So welcome to my little piece of happiness - my little bit of everything.

I also know that I am not the only one who loves a good deal, a good meal, a little pizza, some traveling, a fun outfit, an easy cute hairstyle or makeup hack, or laughing at myself a little bit.

Here is your one stop shop for all the BEST THINGS in life. Stay tuned and follow along for all things fashion, beauty, foodie, health, date nights, décor, pets, the good, bad and ugly…. and everything Completely Carley!
