Luke & Lauren

Luke and Lauren Jackson are my favorite power couple. I say this with great confidence because not only were they my first couple whose wedding I got to film, but they are also close friends. Luke and Lauren are two individuals whose kindness is contagious, love for Jesus is inspiring, and friendship is life changing. When it came time to become Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, their wedding was a beautiful depiction of Christ's love and their love for each other. Thank you, team Jackson, for the amazing opportunity of filming your wedding.

Back in Business

Welcome to Always Gold Blog! My name is Melanie and I'm the founder of this little blog. If you've been a reader for a while, you'll remember this blog was originally called Faith & Fashion. Now after a year break, I'm starting over with a new name and a new purpose. Currently located in Denver, Colorado I love to document my daily outfits, latest recipes, and videos I've made. I thought it would be appropriate for the first Always Gold post to be an outfit one. I love spring time clothes because of the bright clothes and flowly style of skirts. I got this skirt in a thrift shop in Kansas City and have loved its length and structure from the moment of purchase. With finals just around the corner, I resort to doing a crown braid ponytail for the unwashed hair. I adore this time of year and all that comes with it. 

Summer of dresses

I'm a big fan of dresses and I'm glad it's finally summer. During the summer, there is no surprise snow, which gives me the freedom to wear dresses almost every single day. Since I feel cheated out of spring due to late May snow storms, nothing is holding me back now. I got this dress on sale earlier this year and I've been loving it's red color blocking and sleeve length ever since. Let dress season begin.

How to make cheesecake

Last month, I embarked on making a dessert that made me nervous. I've always been cautious when it comes to making a new dessert and baking my first cheesecake was no exception. I looked at making the perfect cheesecake to be too difficult to master. However, once my dessert was tasted I had proved myself wrong. I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake but after I had made this recipe, it was too good for even me to pass up. It is now my go to dessert. 

Long Time No See

It's been a long time since my last blog post. In the midst of my busy schedule, I've hardly had time to blog. However, I've made it a point to start blogging more even with finals quickly approaching. Another thing I haven't seen in a long time is spring type weather. In Colorado it has snowed at least twice every week.  Now that it is finally melting, I'm looking forward not only to the end of the semester, but springtime without snow.
