Hello! My name is Briana Bowers (Bri). I created this lifestyle blog to share my journey of how I'm "stopping and smelling the roses" by being my authentic self and sharing all my interests, passions, knowledge, and favorite things. I hope what you read here encourages you to slow down and enjoy all the beauty around you. If we take the time (through reading, thinking, telling stories, writing, etc.) we will notice there is so much to appreciate.
