On August 3rd I left for Los Angeles California to attend #BlogHer16. I had never heard of the conference before my career at Hologic started in February. Hologic has been exhibiting at the event for a few years to raise awareness of their women's health products. Although I was attending the conference as an exhibitor I was extremely excited about the opportunity to connect and listen to other digitally savvy female entrepreneurs. 

July was an EXTREMELY emotional month for me full of ups and downs. I was anxiously awaiting this month to come and go since early 2016. In February I made one of the hardest decisions in my life. I cancelled my wedding which was to take place on July 16th. As you can imagine, this weekend was full of tears, frustration and luckily some smiles as I was able to face what was to be one of the happiest days of my life and put it behind me.

One night as I was creeping around Instagram I came across the Homepolish account. I knew nothing about the company other than they showed up in my "search feed" so they must have something in common with my Instagram interests. Immediately after seeing their photography I fell in love with the brand. Clean, crisp, simple interior design images that I could not take my eyes off of. The imagery was as if it came directly from a West Elm, Anthropology or Crate and Barrel magazine. If you like any of these brands I can guarantee you will enjoy Homepolish! 

Although I am not a picky eater, I don't typically crave pork chops for dinner. I knew that if I was going to make them I needed to have a REALLY good side dish to accompany. I took to the internet in search of "summer grilled pork chop dishes" and found Nectarine Salsa. What appealed to me about the recipe was the fresh ingredients and how easy it seemed to be - only twenty minutes to make! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did and plan to do all summer long!
