You all know how much I love traveling to new destinations, but packing for a weeklong trip (and then moving from location to location) for a family of four can be a real source of stress, even for a Type-A, super-organized personality like myself!

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about personal style. Not in the “what’s trendy right now” sense — but the deeper, more meaningful kind of style that feels like an extension of who you are. For years, I tried to follow the fashion rules: stick to what’s “flattering,” chase the latest trends, and avoid taking risks. But honestly? It never felt quite right. The older I get, the more I realize that personal style isn’t about fitting into a box — it’s about breaking out of it. And for me, that means embracing comfort, confidence, and a little bit of edge.

Tucked away in the heart of Fayetteville, GA, Trilith Guesthouse is the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem — stylish, cozy, and just the right amount of fancy without trying too hard. We spent a weekend there recently, and honestly? It was exactly what we needed.

Winter brings its own set of challenges when it comes to staying active, but colder temps don’t mean you have to give up on your goals. With the right mindset and gear, you can keep moving, stay warm, and enjoy what this season has to offer.
