HELLO

Meet Shay

I’m Shay! I’m a Colorado native. My roots run from New York City to Louisiana. This makes me equal parts city girl and country soul. I’m a wife and a military spouse. I’m also a mom to both a toddler and a teenager. Life is full, busy, and beautifully real in these seasons. My days are shaped by faith, family, and home. They revolve around small, intentional choices. These choices help life feel softer and more grounded. They range from makeup and self-care to cooking and crafting. I am also learning how to live a little more gently and intentionally.

My social media journey began back in November of 2011. I created my first YouTube channel at that time. It was long before I ever felt ready to be seen. I grew up in a small city. I worried about judgment. These fears kept me playing small for years. Still, 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!
