HELLO
Welcome Bestie Girls!
Hey there! I’m thrilled you’re here. Welcome to this cozy nook of the internet. It is crafted to be a deep breath and a cozy chat. It serves as a reminder that you’re never walking through life alone. You may have found your way here for beauty hacks, recipes, or a sprinkle of encouragement. I pray this space feels welcoming. I hope it feels peaceful and exactly what you needed today.
Around here, we dive into real life…the messy, beautiful, ever-evolving journey…and how faith weaves through it all. From makeup and home life to cooking, crafting, motherhood, and learning how to make more intentional, non-toxic choices, I share what I’m learning along the way while trusting God through every season. I’m navigating my thirties as a mom, wife, and military spouse, leaning on faith when life feels heavy and giving thanks when it feels sweet.
My wish is for this space to feel like a friend cheering you on, reminding you of grace. A place where progress matters more than perfection, where small steps are celebrated, and where faith reminds us we don’t have to have it all figured out. So, grab your favorite cozy drink, stay awhile, and know you belong here. You are seen, loved, and cherished…always.

Faith in Progress
My faith is an important part of who I am. I’m a Christian who loves to share, learn, and have open-hearted conversations about life, faith, and everything in between. I don’t have it all figured out (and I don’t pretend to). I’m walking this journey with curiosity, grace, and a willingness to grow. This is a space for real conversations, encouragement, and learning together…right where we are.
HELLO
Meet Shay
I’m Shay! I’m a Colorado native with roots that run from New York City to Louisiana, making me equal parts city girl and country soul. I’m a wife, a military spouse, and a mom to both a toddler and a teenager, living life in seasons that are full, busy, and beautifully real. My days are shaped by faith, family, home, and the small, intentional choices that help life feel softer and more grounded, from makeup and self-care to cooking, crafting, and learning how to live a little more gently and intentionally.
My social media journey began back in November of 2011 when I created my first YouTube channel, long before I ever felt ready to be seen. Growing up in a small city and worrying about judgment kept me playing small for years, even while the dream stayed close to my heart. Now, I’m choosing to step fully into it. I’m sharing real life, faith, beauty, and home with honesty and grace. This space is for progress over perfection, encouragement over comparison, and reminding you that it’s never too late to start something God placed on your heart.
Welcome to xo, Shay! I’m so glad you’re here!
