It's OK to Be Confident
Oh, the joys of being 14. Those awkward years of transitioning from a little girl into a pre-teen, wearing far too much eye liner to my first dance in the school gym, praying my crush would tap my shoulder during Nelly's 'Over and Over'... (such fond memories...)
New Years Resolution
The new year is the best time for transformation; it’s a time to reflect on the past with gratitude, but the most exciting part is to let yourself dream about what's ahead. As young women, we want to become the best versions of ourselves we can be. Milk and Honey Magazine has developed three keys for transformation in 2017. It's time to embark on new journeys and shape our lives into exactly the women we want to be!
Know Thyself, Lovely
First and foremost, Merry Christmas from your dear friends at Milk & Honey Magazine. We are gearing up for our womens retreat on Grand Cayman Island! Keep up with the fun on Facebook and Instagram and stay tuned for updates on our spring retreat!
Christmas and New Years is the ideal time to kick back, share laughs with family, and reflect on the past year. Likewise, it's the perfect opportunity to prepare for the year to come!
A Moment of Magic ♔
There are few things in this world that can put a smile on a little girls face like meeting a princess. Kylee Lauren, New York City based founder of A Moment of Magic (formerly known as the Princess Project), knew she could do just that.
This program equips young women to volunteer at children’s hospitals and schools dressed as some of the world's most popular princesses.
Struggling With Depression
I remember when I first met Brittany Georgia - she was a bright, bubbly young woman with gorgeous blonde hair, stunning blue eyes, and that natural "Southern Charm" hospitality every girl wishes she could nail. Brittany was a few years younger than me, and I remember thinking, "Wow, if I had my life as together as her when I was 17, I'd be walking on water at this point!" For a young woman her age, her confidence is unmatched.
Miss Wisconsin USA
Having spent a significant amount of time with Skylar Witte, I give you my word she is no ordinary woman. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous (I mean, just look at her!), but she's very sweet and has quite the contagious laugh. She's uplifting, wears her smile like it's going out of style, and has a strong passion for pursuing her dreams.
Skylar is poised and chic - think Grace Kelly - but also has a modern day edge.
Taking a Gap Year
For a long time, it felt like an abstract idea. As a senior English Major, people would ask about my post-grad plans. My answer was always the same: “I’m going to take a gap year, move back home, apply for law school. I’ll probably get a job at Starbucks or something.”
The Beauty of Community
Years ago, I self diagnosed myself with major trust issues. For too long I held up a wall, a high and mighty wall that kept people out. I did not take time to get to know them and I never gave them a proper chance to get to know me. Either I thought too highly of myself, or not enough about myself to be in relationship people. And man, was I sorely mistaken. God began to open my eyes to the importance of community. He began to take me by the hand, gently reminding me how much I need people in my life.
Becoming a Mentor
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9)
The Bible is clear: to live a rich, abundant Christian life, we need to be built up by wiser, older women, and we also need to pour out that wisdom into younger Christians, acting as spiritual mentors. In Titus, Paul talks about what our lives should look like and how we should encourage others, saying “the older women must train the younger women…to live wisely and be pure” (Titus 2:7).
DIY Halloween Costumes
Halloween is almost here and that means many of us will be scrambling to get our costumes together last minute. Ever since I can remember I have been spending the nights leading up to my favorite holiday with a hot glue gun in hand making my vision come to life. There’s something so much more gratifying about putting on the costume that you made yourself rather than one you picked up from a costume store. Let’s all be original and get crafty this year, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind while planning out your DIY!
