High Five for Friday!

HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY! 

1. So I am in full swing of working from home full time! (Maybe sometime I will write on here about that transition and leap of faith.) I have to say, Its really a dream come true and answer to many many prayers. Big things are happening all of the place, but one thing that still hasn't made the cut is laundry/cleaning. Hmm. #priorities

2. Well, it finally snowed. Of course living in the south, we typically don't get a lot of snow, but with our 'you've-overstayed-your-welcome' houseguest, Mr. Polar Vortex, snow makes it a tiny bit better. I won't lie though..it only takes a few snow days to have me dreaming about spring. So I decided to introduce some new spring inspired prints to the shop! 

3. Did anyone watch the Bachelor Wedding?! I am an un-ashamed fan and loved every minute of it. I even cried.. a lot. A lot?! Yes! I am a totally sap for anything love related. (Valentines day usually turns me in to a big ball of cheesy-mush.) At one point my husband even looked over at me and did the whole 'touch-my-arm-Are You Ok?-deal'. So glad he gets my crazy. There's always one that does. :)

4. This week I have had the utmost pleasure of styling two really special brands. One is for a close friend and business parter, and the other is for a really special organization who is close to my heart. I can't wait to reveal the details on here in the future! 

5. I got to visit with a long-lost friend on Sunday!! This girl is the epitome of grace and love. I love her friendship so much, and I was so thrilled to be able to spend a while with her catching up while she was 'home'. She is also going to be bringing a new little man into this world in 6 weeks! Definitely having one of those 'I-can't-believe-how-far-we've-come' moments. 

Well since I-am-really-digging-these-right-now, thats what I am going to leave you with. Give Friday a big kiss on the mouth today! and then go over here to see how H54F came about.

New Art Prints : Spring Inspired

Hazel Berry Paper Etsy Shop

If you keep up on instagram, you know we had quite the snow yesterday. As much as snow is fun for a little while, until your fingers are frozen, I am majorly itching for spring! So as the snow fell yesterday, I was motivated to make it spring-y in this office! 

Check out the new art prints: spring inspired, for Hazel Berry Paper!

When developing these, I wanted them to be fun phrases that would lighted up any room in your house. And as always, I wanted them to reflect Hazel Berry. Hope you enjoy them! 

Beauty Trend: OMBRE

Every few months, I get the itch to do something different in the beauty department. Luckily for my husband, small, budget friendly changes usually satisfy me. But this time? I think I may branch out a little more into this 'ombre' trend. 

I don't want anything too crazy, so I have gathered a few photos for some inspiration. I have a fair complexion with dark brown hair, so I am thinking maybe the "Kate Beckinsale' or the 'Sofia Bush' is the way to go. What are your thoughts on this trend… Which is your favorite?

I will update you all on the new 'do' when its done!

P.S. ITS SNOWING HERE, YAY!!!! (finally!)

She is Hazel Berry

Sometimes in our day to day responsibilities and when we have put everyone's needs above our own, we forget who we are and what we stand for. Sometimes the reasons why we do what we do, or the really amazing qualities that we love about ourselves, get lost because of our never ending to do lists and comparison of others success. 

Well it's time to give your self a few minutes to remember all of those lovely qualities that make your heart really special. When reading Emily Ley's '5 minutes' post this week, it struck a cord with me and made me give my self 5 minutes to gather my self, pray, and be reminded of the who Hazel Berry is. 

Give your self a few minutes today.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Happy MLK Day!

It would be ri-donk-ulous if I didn't take a moment to reflect on the importance of this day. Having the courage to chase your dreams involves a serious kind of courage. I am so grateful for those who have made it looked achievable enough for me to make it happen for myself, and those who have shared when it was harder than you ever imagined. Your encouraging stories of stumbles and triumphs are truly inspiring, and it pushes me daily to GO FOR IT. So, thank you. 

And THANK YOU Mr. King for this encouraging call to action. You deserve this day.

Now, I am off to enjoy this sunshine with a couple of my dream come trues.
