I shared about my "styling routine" here and the hair products I use here.
▲How old are you?
I was born February of 1990. ♓
▲What are your girls names and why did you pick them?
Marc and I always wanted nature-inspired names for our girls. Marc was the first to suggest Ocean, I initially hated it (I know...) but eventually fell in love with it. We decided on Oceana for a more feminine name but we call her Ocean. For Luna, it was the the opposite, I suggested, Marc hated and then fell in love with it. I think their names are perfect. Knowing that in nature the Ocean and Moon are inextricably linked. And how they describe the girls so well. Ocean, you cannot tame her. She is my wild child. She is also unpredictable but she is wildly beautiful. Powerful. Luna, Luna is constant. She is calm and sweet. She glows with a quiet tenderness. She will be my emotional baby.
▲How did you and Marc meet?
I am working on this post and will be sharing soon. I love our story and can't wait to share it.
▲What was your wedding like?
Marc and I were married at the courthouse in Opelika, AL on September 5th, 2008. I blogged about that here and here. Here I shared inspiration for our vow renewal.
▲What beauty products do you use?
I started a series called Clean Beauty to highlight the products I use after getting a lot of requests to share, here are the links:

▲Are you planning on having more children?
At this point, no. I want to be able to devote my life to my girls without losing myself. And you can't do it all, so for now, I am very content. Marc and I are very happy with two girls :)
▲"After successfully dominating being a young mother and wife would you recommend the lifestyle to others or suggest they wait?" (from Megan on Instgram)
This is such a hard question to answer but one that I get VERY frequently.
If the desire is there you will find a way. Make sure you are doing things because of the right reasons and make sure that your partner is on board as well. I have found a lot of fulfillment in my lifestyle and wouldn't change a thing but everyone is different and having children is not a decision one should make lightly.

▲Have you been to college? Will you eventually attend?
I have not, but there is a possibility if it helped Marc and I along our path. Currently, we are auditing a documentary film class and have really been enjoying the opportunity to learn together. I think that in the future we may do more of the same on a larger scale.
▲ Have you thought of living in an intentional community?
Yes, Marc and I have thrown the idea around. We are very open to it but, currently, we aren't looking to do so.

It's so nice to see young mamas/wives that are completely content with their lives. I, myself was born in 1990(October),am a young mother, and in September, I will be marrying my high school sweetheart.
