A look back at the past 6 years!

We can’t believe it’s been 6 years since our first instagram post! We thought it would be fun today to look back over the last years as we kick off our NEW website and rebranding.

Six years ago we thought it would be fun to start our own Instagram and blog. We had been following so many others and honestly just thought it would be fun to do it too! We had NO idea what we were doing, how it would go, and what it would ultimately turn into.

As you can see from our beginning photos, they were terrible!!! HA! And these few early pics aren’t even the worst! Yikes. We didn’t know anything about lighting, angles, posing or a good front tuck!! The pic below on the top right needed all of those things!!! Goes to show that sometimes you just need to start and learn as you go. Comparing then to now, there is a HUGE difference. We’ve learned so much, our looks/styles have changed so much and it’s so cool to see how far we’ve come.

A look back at some pictures of us together.

We’ve done a lot of these 6 years…had some amazing collaborations with brands we love and use daily. Marc Fisher, Anthropologie, Colleen Rothschild, Sequin Jewelry and Walmart to name a few. We’ve traveled to some fun and beautiful places together to create content. It’s always so fun and special when we can get together since we live in different states. With our kids’ busy schedules it doesn’t happen as often as we’d like, so we cherish the times when we can make it work. And we know you all seem to love the pictures together. We’ll try to do more moving forward!! We’ve been to 4 (this years being virtual) rewardStyle conferences. We remember when we finally got on the rewardStyle platform 5 years ago, it was a huge milestone for us!!!

Over the last six years our hairstyles have definitely changed as well. From ultra dark to ultra blonde, super long to short. Please tell us we aren’t the only ones that change their hair all the time!? Looking back at these extreme color differences, what were we thinking??? I think we are both in a good color spot right now, much closer to our natural hair color.

Wow how our hair has changed a lot!

Why the new blog?

Our last site was looking outdated, it ran slow and just wasn’t as reader friendly as we wanted it to be. There is so much more content we are excited to start sharing with you all. Our new site and layout will be more user friendly and easier for you to find details of what you’re looking for. We love that each post has a “Shop the Post” feature right on the main page which makes for easy shopping of an item.

A huge shoutout to Trek Your Market for creating our awesome new site! They’ve created exactly what we were looking for.

Want to see our very first Instagram pictures!? Below are the first 2 pics of us on our feed. Not really sure the thought behind them, but we are so happy we took that leap and just started. These 2 first pics started us on a wonderful journey!!!

First Instagram posts!
More important than how our hair/clothes have changed over the years, is this space where we’ve been inspired and hopefully have inspired you all. Sharing our day-to-day outfits, favorite trends, beauty, and family lives has been a true blessing. Thank you so much for all your support! In case you’re wanting a little more fashion. Below we rounded up the Top 9 all-time best sellers over the last six years.
Top 9 best sellers over the last 6 years.

Of course lululemon made the top 9! It’s definitely a favorite of ours as well. And our love of sneakers continue! These p448 sneakers are the best! The calf hair black sneakers above were my very first pair.

We hope you enjoyed this fun look back! I know it brought back a lot of memories for us! Excited for more to come!

Katey and Betsy

    Love seeing how much you guys have grown! Also it’s so fun knowing a “real life” insta blogger (Katy)

    I can get over all the different hair! But let’s be real how much of the hair and clothes are going to make a comeback from when you guys started!

    Also I can’t believe how much more similar you guys looked then! I feel like now I can tell you apart instantly but in some of the beginning I had to double take!

    Love you guys! Keep sharing all the amazing things!

    Xx Kirsten

      Hi Jenn! So glad you are here! Thanks for the message. Yes – I’d say a little smaller. We did Faster Way to Fat Loss for 6 months or so. It helped so much!! Now we incorporate some of it into our daily eating, but not completely. Definitely always do the fasting part. K & B

    Love it all! How boring would we all be if we never evolved and changed from time to time?! And you’re helping me evolve and try new styles all the time. Love seeing things you model for us and pairing them with different bottoms, shoes, jackets, etc. Love seeing your travels too. Thanks for sharing it all.

    It’s always so fun to look back at old pictures and I think my hairstyle was always changing too. I wonder why I thought that looked good but styles change. I love both of your styles now so much. Glad I found you guys! @hummingbirds09
