Collins Birth Story
On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

Aspen – Colorado Part I
I’m so excited to finally start sharing details of our recent travels to Colorado. We've received a handful of messages from readers, family and friends asking how we enjoyed our trip, and I felt Style Souffle would be the best place to journal our experience in great detail by taking an in-depth dive into where we stayed, dined, and played! This was certainly one of the most beautiful places my husband and I have visited as a couple, and considering how much we love an outdoorsy adventure, it's hard to believe this was our first time traveling to the Centennial State. This trip started...

I feel a bit spoiled this year, as my husband and I experienced the most magical start to the season during a recent trip to Colorado! Being from the South we are lucky if we see snow at all, so looking out the window to see snow covering the mountains was certainly a treat. The temps were bone-chilling, but that couldn't keep us inside. To my surprise, the -3...
Day 12 of Giving – Westin Hotel Group
In a few short weeks I turn 28 years old, and I've found myself clinging tight to Kyoko Escamilla's famous quote, “Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.” To be completely candid with you, I fought with the idea of announcing my age to social media and Style Souffle. People can be so critical of age, but I was questioning why I should hide something that so feel so proud of. It’s...
