Friends Day Wednesday {Simply Created Design}

I’ve had a lot of wonderful comments about my blog design and I wanted to introduce you to my blog designer Chrissy. Simply Created Design (SCD) is something i started due to my love for all things geeky like, html, CSS codes, and Photoshop.

Late nights with Brand, date night, adventures, lazy days, reading good books, catching up on much needed sleep. Lost of times the weekends are filled with chores, but I guess that’s just what happens when you grow up. This week I didn’t instagram much, I’ve noticed I take a lot of pictures of food, I think it’s because I feel weird taking self portraits. How do you feel about self portraits?
