Alexa is smart, fashionable and super cool! Graduating from Brea Olinda High School, Alexa is seriously one of the most confident grads I have met this year. Heading to Fullerton Junior College to take care of her general ed classes and then off to art school in New York, this girl has success written all…

Six days after graduation, four of my best friends and I flew to London and backpacked across Europe for 6 weeks. I was barely shy of 18, I had traveled to England a few times at that point to visit family, but really this trip was my first time traveling without my parents and it…

oh how real the travel bug is, I was bitten in Europe as well! It really does influence your goals and dreams, for they must leave room for travel!
I LOVE this family. I can’t wait to share all of these adorable photos with you! But for now, here is a sweet shot of three of the kids (there are four little ones in total) painting little canvases with a gorgeous view as their inspiration.

I thought it would be fun to offer up some of the lessons I have learned along the way. Graduation is only a month away, so there is only 4 short weeks or about 20 school days left till graduates have to say goodbye to their high school forever. I remember when I crossed the…

Sometimes we have to follow our hearts on the college route … while I’ll probably never use my finance degree in that field, I don’t regret switching to that major mid-freshman year. The practical knowledge I got from it has helped me with both my business and personal finances. I do sometimes wish I’d listened to my gut and went back for a graphic design associates degree after undergrad.
When asked, I always tell high schoolers, if the thought of business professional dress or uniforms for the next 30-40 years of your life doesn’t appeal to you, pick a field that fits the wardrobe you won’t dread buying. That said, I should be an elementary school p.e. teacher 😉

I love this post Amber! I wish I could have pursued the arts more in high school and into college. I still got to dabble with graphic design for my major, but photography and painting and drawing? Not so much. I’m glad you stuck with your passion — look how it’s paid off!

Wonderful sentiment!
I tell my father all the time I don’t want to study business. Why would I when I am having a blast in sociology class! Educations is a gift and a choice, one that can be fun!
And You are in a fantastic position to be preaching this =)
