1. My full name is Taryn Breanne Newton…I love my name, even though many years I dealt with name slaughter (such as, Terrance, TYRONE, Karen).
2. I’m a girl from the mitten living in Dallas. Born and raised in Kentwood, Michigan. I now reside in McKinney, Texas.
3. I am happily married to my husband Rick, and we have two awesome and rambunctious boys Cameron (8) and Calvin (2).
4. I am a faithful Christian. I strive daily to become more like Christ, and spread the word of Him through my voice and actions. Although this is a lifestyle blog, I pray that you see through this blog that my purpose is His purpose.
5. I love YELLOW! I could and would wear yellow every day. I adore pretty much any hue of yellow…Yellow shirts, dresses, accessories, and more. You name it I love it.
6. I’m a runner! Not professionally or anything, I just thoroughly enjoy it. For the first time ever I will be running a full marathon next week! I know that may sound crazy! It’s the challenge, and how accomplished you feel after achieving a personal goal. It’s an added bonus that I get to buy more work out clothes. I love dressing up but really love work out gear.
7. My style is somewhat like an oxymoron. I love looking glamorous but also want to be casual as well. I am a busy mom, so my wardrobe has many casual clothes that I can throw on to run to a soccer game or go grocery shopping.
8. My favorite items in my closet are shoes! I have a weakness for shoes (ask my husband lol). I typically base my outfit around my shoes, and allow everything to fall into place after that. My basic Taryn wardrobe rule I follow is I invest in my staple shoes. Such as, basic black or nude pump. For my fun and trendy shoes I try my hardest to find a shoe that is more cost efficient. Trends change quickly, so sometimes it is hard for me to justify paying a lot for a shoe I know won’t be “in” next season.
9. I am the baby of the family, with two awesome parents who are the BEST grandparents ever! I have two older sisters, we’ve been a team and remain us against the world.
10. Sometimes I truly believe I am the animal whisperer. I absolutely love all animals. Which, is funny because my husband is not a fan of ANY animal. He thinks I am nuts and doesn’t want any pets. Fortunately for me, my husband gave in on that battle, we are awaiting for our new Labradoodle to be born lol.
