SHOP. BLOG. GATHER.
You're probably wondering where in the world I've been. MIA, missing in action, really. Between keeping my clients beautiful + happy at the salon, helping my mom run the Southern Detour Boutique, starting a jewelry/leather goods business with my husband {SD Originals}, and braving the SC moody winter, things have been a blur. I hope [...]
For starters, I'm still contemplating how I'm going to move to Kentucky. Y'ALL, every single time we visit this beautiful state I fall in love all over again.

Another month has passed with these wild mustangs that are surely becoming gentled, using horses. Partner and Tux are being handled and rode every single day {YES, I said rode}!! Erik and Kirsten have both ridden their horses and you bet'cha, all that ground work really paid off. Both of the horses are gaining weight [...]
Spring is in full bloom here in the South. The days are getting warmer + longer, the horses are shedding like crazy, the thunderstorms are more often, and the mosquitoes are getting larger {ugh}.
