{Having a Moment} Finding Happiness As An Adult

Growing up, in what I would now consider a small-ish town, I had a really lucky life. Whilst I loved my life in the small town that I called home, I knew that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life here. I don’t know why, but I just knew that staying here isn’t what I was destined to do. I was meant for bigger things. For a while, I had the dream of moving to Atlanta. I had seen many of my friends make the move, and they only had good things to say about the city. With the help of a moving company like https://www.atlantahomemovers.com/, I knew it would be easy for me to pack up my belongings and move into my own home. This got me excited. This is what I wanted to do with my life.

I really admire my friends who live on their own in rented apartments (if you’re looking for one, check https://www.rent.com/florida/miramar-apartments). Leaving your family and embarking on a journey called life could be a difficult endeavor. Even if it wasn’t Atlanta, I loved the idea of being able to move away from this small town, even though it would be quite hard for me to do so. Some good years (I peaked in 6th grade), and some bad ones (10th grade comes to mind), but I was still a very outgoing and friendly human being, so I survived. College brought some more happiness (sophomore year) and some ups & downs (senior year), and then finally graduating with the graduation gown and flying the caps. And, it all ended up with this city.

Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove C Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove Center City store! #MyThirdLove #ThirdLovePartner 

I was so excited to hear ThirdLove opened a store on Walnut Street because, as much as you guys knowwww I love a good online shop & try on, bras do give me a bit of pause when I haven’t been measured in store. The new Philly location gives us truly the best of both worlds. 

If you are looking for a reason to shop, ThirdLove is offering Her Philly gals 15% off with code EMILY15 - either in-store or online - now through 2/15! Get those Valentine’s Day goods! 😘

Keep watching to see my experience with my incredible fit stylists & which ThirdLove bras were my favorite. I know a lot of you are fans of the brand - any pieces I must try next?!
