Subscriber Spotlight
Today’s subscriber spotlight comes from the brilliant actress Sarah Adams and her comedy partner Maggie Rieth Austin. They write “We remember it like it was yesterday, meeting the wonderful Tanya Foster on set for The Mink Catcher and learning about her equally wonderful blog. Ah, memories… Since then, we have been devoted readers and even bigger fans of this fabulous woman. Y’all, she’s friends with Reese Witherspoon. THE Reese Witherspoon. That basically makes US friends with Reese. Plus, she makes it super easy to know how to properly apply an assortment of beauty products (it’s SO much harder than it looks: https://www.facebook.com/TheMonthlyJunk/videos/618206794971238/). Hands down Tanya is one of the greats, we are so thankful for her friendship and for allowing each of us a glimpse into her life.”
I met Sarah through acting and even shot a blog post with her about Denton, Texas (where she lives). I met Maggie through Sarah and even got a small part in one of their hilarious short films. I hope to work with them again as they are brilliant writers, actors and producers. Check out The Monthly Junk. Girl power!

I discovered your blog in 2016. 2016 was a year of loss from the tornado to hail, to the sudden words of “your mom has stage 4 cancer”, then immediately after she passed was company wide lay offs, the good side of loss was my health gain and weight loss. I enjoy the carefree beauty to the inside of the ups and downs and the fun discoveries you’ve shared with all of us your readers, it reminded me of perspective… so on to 2017.

This is incredible. I have lost the most important person in my life in 2016. I am looking forward to 2017 to try and build myself as the woman my Nana knew I was. I want to accomplish more of my school growth and my self / personal growth. I want to become happy, find happiness in myself and my close family. I want to establish a healthy, happy life. It’s just hard doing so without her. xo
This is awesome!! Sooo many of those dresses are gorgeous! That coral and floral one is my fave!
My goal for 2017 is being more true to myself and more positive…plus doing more for me/stop putting myself last and letting people take advantage of my kindness!
