7 Life Lessons The Mountains Taught Me

There is something beautifully compelling about being in nature. Most of you know me as Style Miss Molly — a fashionista who loves all things girly and loves to dress up. However, today I’m sharing with you a part of me I never have before, and a part of me I’ve only recently come to realize just how passionate about it I am. The truth is, I have never felt more myself than when I hike. My soul longs for it, my mind thrives off of it, my body appreciates it. You could say that I’m a fashionista turned mountaineer, but there’s no reason why I can’t be both. I’m a true adventurer, eager to explore the breathtaking views in this world. I discovered myself while hiking the beautiful mountains of the Pacific Northwest. It continues to strengthen my body and my mind and teaches me endless amounts of valuable life skills every time I go out.

The Girl Who Lost Her Smile

Many of you know me, Miss Molly, as the ever-positive and always optimistic person who embodies joy, encouragement, and hope. That is, after all, why I started #MollysWords. But “Molly’s Words” actually started from sharing my own vulnerable experiences about my life. The real, the raw, the not so pretty trials many of us face, in hopes to let those suffering know that they are not alone and to share that there is always hope.

The very thought of putting the words onto paper (or in this case mass publication on the internet) frightens me. I hold back with fear at the idea of sharing something so personal, only a few people in my life understand or know about it. But the idea that my story may help someone battling the same battle makes it all worth it. So as I open up once again, I share with you something I’ve recently struggled with — depression. I am that girl who lost her smile. Battling Depression - You're Gonna Be Ok - Style Miss Molly

My Top 3 Skincare Problems and How I Avoid Them

Many of you have asked about my beauty routine and how I have such great skin. First of all, let tell you, it hasn’t always been that way. After I started transitioning products to natural skin care I started noticing a big difference. Today, I’m very excited to partner with a brand who shares the same beauty philosophy as me — Healing Natural Oils. Natural care is the way to go, my friends! Not only do they avoid all the harsh ingredients I do not want to be absorbed into my body, but their natural plant based ingredients really work. Today I’m getting a little personal on my skin care problems and talking about what I do to help them.

My Birthday Adventure at the Woodmark Hotel

What does a fashion blogger do to ring in her 27th birthday in style? Stay at the only waterfront hotel on Lake Washington of course! After many days of rain, the sun began to peak out and it was a glorious weekend birthday adventure staying at the 4-star Woodmark Hotel! The Woodmark Hotel is a chic boutique hotel and a prime spot for great views on the waterfront. Lucky for me, it was just a short drive across the bridge from Seattle, but staycation or not, it’s still a vacation and I loved every second of it! Style Miss Molly at the Woodmark HotelCONTINUE READING

50 Little Known Ways to Improve Your Blog

Today is a huge day for me! Two years ago today the name Style Miss Molly was created on Instagram, combining my love for style and inspiring others. I can’t quite officially call it my “blogiversary” yet because that wasn’t started until a month later (we’ll be celebrating that soon with some very special things planned for you). April 18th, 2015 is truly where it all began. On the couch in my living room, as I opened a pair of white pointed-toe pumps in the mail and felt inspired to share my passion. I made a lofty goal of reaching 50,000 followers on Instagram in two years. I reached that goal with merely six days to spare. Talk about cutting in close! As I reflect back on my journey I realize how far I’ve come. I’m excited to share 50 little-known ways to improve your blog, and if you don’t blog read on just to see how much I’ve learned!50 Ways To Improve Your Blog // Style Miss MollyCONTINUE READING
