Project HONESTY HOUR


Did you catch my latest post on Instagram and are wondering what in the world
"Honesty Hour" is?

Well, I've got some good news for you...

I'm going to tell you just what Honesty Hour is!!


My bestie — Preslee Gates and I wanted to create a project where we could share the nitty-gritty of our lives on our Instagram in a fun way! We brainstormed and came up with the project/hashtag #projectHONESTYHOUR!
We posted our first posts to this project and announced it to our followers Sunday night! We are so overwhelmed + blown away by the support we've received so far, to be honest we really didn't think others would join in but we got some posts that night, to us this was crazy and amazing all at the same time!!
We are so stoked about all the posts coming in + so thankful for all those who have supported us!


"Okay, okay you've only told me a tiny bit about WHAT this whole thing is, your amazing followers and those who have participated, now can you get my question - why I'm really here?"

YES, YES, and YES!

Here are a few questions I think you might have + answers to them!

What IS Honesty Hour?
Are there specific questions I answer in my post?
What am I even supposed to say in my post?
How often do I post an Honesty Hour? Is it just a one time thing?

Honesty Hour is a project Preslee and I created to share some things going on in our lives we wouldn't usually share on our Instagram pages, things we wanted to share - random REAL stuff but there wasn't anyway to share it, that made sense to us. If you are going to go on rambling about this and that, things going on in your life on a post then that's it, you end it - you might leave your readers confused, maybe it's just me but I think that's a little awkward. We wanted to do this but there had to be A REASON behind it, this is when we created #projectHONESTYHOUR!
Are there specific questions I answer in my Honesty Hour post? No, not necessarly - I mean, we don't have a set list of questions you answer and that's your HH post, we just came up with a few different things going on in our lives, thoughts we'd had that week, things we had coming up we were excited for, our favorite book we were reading right then, something we were working on, etc...
How often should I post a #projectHONESTYHOUR? Preslee and I will post a new Honesty Hour each month, but you can post as often -- or as rarely -- as you would like!

I think this answers some questions you may have --- I hope it does!
(If you still have more questions, shoot me an email or DM!)


Anyone is welcome to join this project, ANYONE - no requirements what-so-ever! We love you just the way you are!!
All we ask is that you use our hashtag #projectHONESTYHOUR and TAG US! @maddixkelly + @presleegates! We are giddy as can be to see your posts!
So, what are you waiting for?
--- GET SHARING ---
and tagging, and hash-tagging;)

Be You

Happy Tuesday [that feels like a Monday] to You!


Part of my goal in creating this blog was to be able to share inspiring + uplifting messages with my followers! If you didn't know... I create prints + am working on opening my Etsy shop SOON [I will write a post on my shop later!] ANYWAYS... my all time favorite saying to write is 'BE YOU' because I love how much meaning these two short words have!


Just BE YOU because everyone else is taken.
In a world full of so much comparing, we would do good to just be ourselves, don't try to be like that other girl who seems to be just perfect without any flaws. Just Be You, your wonderful self. You have so much to give, GIVE IT! You are unique in your own special way, SHOW IT. And You have so many talents nobody else does, SHARE your talents with those around you! 


I think we all need a reminder each day to just Be Ourselves, we are so so so much more fun that way! I don't know about you but being ME feels SO MUCH better than trying to be someone I'm not. I hope you love this saying [+ the meaning behind it] as much as I do.
