About Me
Hi there, I'm Alexa! I was born in November of 1994 and raised in Henderson, Nevada. I graduated high school at age 18 and moved to St. George, Utah in order to explore the world and attend Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School where I became a licensed hair stylist. Almost 2 years later I moved to Provo, Utah and started hanging out with a recently returned LDS missionary that I randomly started emailing back in the hills of Southern Utah (see "The Princess and the Llama Man" entry for more details on how we met!) Now here we are, 2 years later, married for time and all eternity, currently living in Mount Prospect, Illinois. I work part-time at the Woodfield Mall.
Taylor was born in March of 1994, and raised in West Valley City, Utah. After high school he attended Utah State University Eastern in Price, Utah for one year, then left for Oaxaca, Mexico where he served as a full time missionary of our church for two years. He got back in April of 2015, a week before we met in person. Taylor is currently selling pest control for summer sales,
working from home doing business marketing, and does photography in between.
We are full-time dedicated members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints- LDS for short, or otherwise known as Mormons. We are so happy to be part of this religion, as it has brought so much peace, happiness, and so many blessings into our lives.
We are parents of our little puppy, Olaf, who is a 5 pound, 1 year old Morkie- Maltese and Yorkie mix. Although a trouble maker 99% of the time, we love him so much and enjoy his energetic company! (except when he pees on the bed)
I started this blog the summer of 2016 when we
lived in Alabama to share mostly my travel experiences, but it since then has
turned into a lifestyle/influencer blog. Not only do I help promote businesses and influence products, I also try to occasionally share marriage experiences, thoughts and opinions of current events or my
own little life epiphanies, hair/makeup/fashion blurbs, with hopes to not only
help myself to see all the good things happening in my life, but to inspire
anyone that wherever you are, whatever you are doing, life is one big adventure
and it's the simple things that make it beautiful!
