Capturing content through my lens is what I thrive on&#8230; I love sharing my experiences, and of course my style. I&#8217;ve always said, &#8220;Life is complicated. Your wardrobe shouldn&#8217;t be.&#8221;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> I live in Dallas, TX with my two furry boys: Cooper and Charlie.

After graduating I worked for a lifestyle magazine, and then almost a year later started my own digital marketing agency, Muse Consultants. Everyday I work with my clients on their digital marketing strategy. I help them from start-to-finish to create or rebrand their website, develop social media\/blog content and manage their accounts, and train them before I step away. In the last few months, I\u2019ve started a \u201cBlogger Workshop\u201d training bloggers on several digital marketing services. After doing this for all of my clients I needed my own creative outlet which is one of the ways One Small Blonde started. Oh yeah, and because I love clothes just like most of you reading the blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I\u2019ve always had a genuine passion for following fashion trends, but I also know what I love and stick to my own personal style. I think the three words that best describe my style are: simple, sophisticated, and chic. Like I said earlier, I\u2019m a young professional and entrepreneur which means as much as I love Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and my Louboutin\u2019s my bank account can\u2019t keep up with that type of lifestyle. SO \u2013 I\u2019ve learned to shop on a budget, but still look like I rock the designer trends.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column15_a0d8fa-e4\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">My passion for food and cooking didn\u2019t evolve until after college when I started realizing I couldn\u2019t eat anything and everything I wanted. I think my love for cooking stems from both of my grandmother\u2019s (thanks Mimi and Mammy). If I could make Mimi\u2019s fried chicken and Mammy\u2019s fried okra every day I just might. Let\u2019s face it\u2026 I\u2019m from the south and we love our fried food. However, over the past few years I\u2019ve taught myself how to cook healthier, but with the same amazing taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Fun Fact: I hated peanut butter and cheese as a child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">{Life Lessons} Life has taught me many things, but it\u2019s what I\u2019ve done with those things that have made me the person I am today. I\u2019ve been blessed to have been able to start my own company at such a young age, and I thank my parents for always supporting me during this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Don\u2019t get caught up in the small things\u2026try to find the life lesson in everything you do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns15_ac460d-40{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns15_ac460d-40 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns15_ac460d-40\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn15_30497a-9d.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn15_30497a-9d.kb-button{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-family:'Bon Vivant';font-weight:400;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn15_30497a-9d kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onesmallblonde.com\/contact\/\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Contact<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Brooke I started this journey in 2010 when &#8220;blogging&#8221; was the thing.
