http://minimallyss.blogspot.com/2017/12/goodbye-2017-hello-2018.html

Last night, Roberto and I went to a coffee shop where we talked about our goals for the upcoming year. While we were planning goals for 2018, we also reflected on all the amazing moments from this past year. It had me reflecting a lot on my blog too, which inspired me to create this post. Here are some accomplishments and best moments of 2017, as well as the top post you guys have liked in my short four months of blogging.

Who doesn't love a great outfit for Christmas? I usually tend to dress up for Christmas Eve then go a bit more casual for Christmas day. Regardless of your style, I came up with two different looks with pieces I already had in my closet and paired them with some accessories from 6th Borough Boutique -- a boutique with high fashion, eco friendly accessories.

https://minimallyss.blogspot.com/2017/12/winter-weekend-getaway-niagara-falls.html
  Last weekend Roberto and I decided to do a semi-spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls. We left Friday evening, and arrived to Ontario around 7:30pm that evening. Now anyone that knows Roberto and I, knows that Roberto is usually the one to plan our trips since he is much more well traveled than I am. However, this time -- I planned the trip. Well, kind of. Ha!

It's every girl's dream -- wondering who, when, how, and what their engagement will look like. I remember being younger thinking of all the possibilities and thinking that my fiancé could literally be anywhere in the world.

How To: Effortless Flat Iron Beach Waves

 https://minimallyss.blogspot.com/2017/08/how-to-effortless-flat-iron-beach-waves.html

One of the most popular questions that I get asked by clients is how I do my hair to achieve a messy/natural looking beach wave. I always tell them that at first it's hard to do on yourself, but once you keep practicing and get the hang of it, it'll take you about five to ten minutes. The secret? The messier the better!
