✨✨One of the most challenging things in a relationship can be vulnerability 😯. Opening yourself up to another person can be a scary thing! Sharing secrets, emotions, and history... a lot of us naturally shy away from that 🙊.
.
.
.
✨✨ When we first started dating, we both had our issues with vulnerability. Luckily, those issues were not the same as each other’s. For example, Ariana has always been an honest and vocal person about her struggles with anxiety, that was not a vulnerability issue to her. Whereas I am very protective over any negative emotion I experience, and will hide and deny those experiences 🤷🏼‍♀️. .
.
.
✨✨ We have always had a tendency to complement one another, and the way we navigated vulnerability was no exception 💞. Where one person felt uncomfortable, the other would remain open and patient. .
.
.
✨✨ Now, after years together, vulnerability is still something reoccurring. With all of the changes and ups and downs in life, there will continue to be moments where you find yourself feeling vulnerable with your partner. In those moments, how your partner responds to that vulnerability matters. .
.
.
✨✨ Ultimately, vulnerability is a necessary part of a relationship. It can also be one of the most strengthening parts. If you can be open, and allow your partner the space to be open as well, then you are setting the foundation for an amazing relationship💖

✨✨ We felt like we had to do it y’all... we HAD to give face, and we HAD to give brows🤨💁🏼‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️
.
.
✨✨ #ad We have very different brows, so we think it’s amazing that we can go to the same place to shape them and get the same products to maintain them. And y’all already know that place is European Wax Center🙏🏻🙏🏾 @europeanwax
.
.
✨✨ As y’all know, we are partnering with EWC to foster a more open conversation about waxing and our beauty routines, because there should be no hesitation around speaking about these topics. EWC’s products and services work together to make sure that your brows are always amazing. You know, like ours😏🤪
.
.
✨✨ Check out our story for our favorite products, and swipe up to reveal your best brows by making a reservation with an EWC specialist!💜💜💜 #revealitall

✨✨A relationship is a partnership. It’s not just love at first sight, sweeping romance, and having someone to cuddle with🤗 Those are all amazing aspects of our relationship (at least, love at first sight from my end💁🏼‍♀️) but to live with someone and share a life with them long term, there is much more. .
.
.
✨✨ We have had so many back and forth periods in our relationship that required one of us to take on more responsibility. One of those (thankfully shorter) periods was when I took my real estate exam. Ariana seemed to physically absorb my stress. She got sick, was breaking out, and felt terrible - while running our business and managing everything else so that I could prepare. .
.
✨✨ She encouraged me to focus on studying, supported my all nighters, and pushed me to do my best😍 It wasn’t fun for her, but she did it anyways. Because sometimes that’s what it takes to build up your partner💕 .
.
.
✨✨ When you are with someone long term, there will be give and take. Someone will need more, someone will give more. What’s important is that there is balance, and space to talk about it. I will always give Ariana my best, and I will give her even more when she needs it. And she does the same for me💕 .

✨✨When you live with someone for a while, you start to merge habits and influence one another in weird niche ways 😂😂. We’ve lived together for like two and a half years, and during that time a lot has changed. .
.
✨✨As I write this caption, Ariana is eating half of a leftover burrito for breakfast 🌯. To myself and (probably) tons of other people, this is regular. Everyone knows that leftovers = the best breakfast. Well, Ariana 2 years ago hated leftovers. She wouldn’t touch them, not for breakfast, rarely for lunch, never for dinner. She was an eggs, bacon, and pancakes type of breakfast lady 😍. .
.
✨✨Not only that, but she thought breakfast for dinner was insane and unnatural (I know, I know, it’s a lot to take in). BUT a few weeks ago, after allowing me to fix breakfast for dinner for the first time in 2.5 years, she made it AGAIN for herself like a week after. Why? Because it’s good! She saw the light y’all.🙌🏼
.
.
✨✨I feel like I’ve talked about Ariana’s weirdly specific food habits before, because they are one of the most endearing things about living with her. She’s changed a lot of my own food habits (like making giant batches of meals and eating nothing but that meal for days in a row), and I’ve apparently been influencing hers as well. It’s just taken literal years to get to this point😂 .
.
✨✨Anyways, I think it’s hilarious how she’s finally come to terms with both breakfast for dinner and leftovers for breakfast. What specific breakfast/leftovers habits do you guys have? Personally I feel like you can eat breakfast food whenever, but lunch and dinner food is usually way better for breakfast. Does that make sense? .

✨✨ Inclusivity is something that we feel we should integrate into our lives every day, especially in relationships 👭. Society usually thinks of inclusivity as not excluding marginalized groups of people, but we also think about it in terms of not excluding aspects of a person’s identity from our relationship with them.
.
.
.
✨✨ We think of inclusivity as accounting for and respecting others’ identities, differences, and experiences, as well as understanding how they affect communication and taking action to bridge that gap 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩. When someone doesn’t want to acknowledge their partner’s different experiences or challenges, that can be detrimental to a relationship. Acknowledging our differences is how we can ensure that we are both heard and understood. .
.
.
✨✨When you’re looking at the two of us, we not only have different experiences regarding race, but also with ability, economic circumstances, and gender expression. These are real aspects of not only our sense of self, but also affect our experience in different situations. That difference in perspective can make communicating difficult, but keeping these factors in mind can keep the lines of communication open. .
.
.
✨✨Ultimately we always try to check the lens that we are using when examining a situation or conversation. We think: Am I taking into account their experiences, not just my own? How can I better accommodate my partner’s differences so that we are on the same page? Am I ignoring an aspect of their identity and how that might affect their perspective?
.
.
.
✨✨What role do you think inclusivity has in relationships? 🤔

✨✨If y’all have been here a while, you know that we LOVE communication. We truly truly feel that paying attention to how we communicate is one of the best things we can do to improve our lives, our relationships, and ourselves!
.
.
✨✨ Expressing both positive and negative emotions regularly, actively listening, and allowing both yourself and others the safe space to open up are some important ways that we can improve our communication with those we love. #brandpartner The great thing about communication is that its accessible from anywhere with Visible Mobile📱The @visiblemobile app is powered by Verizon’s 4G LTE service, so no matter how much distance is between us, we always have the power of communication 📢😍 We can manage our service through the app, and it’s never more than $40 a month🙌🏾🙌🏼
.
.
✨✨When it comes to talking about our feelings, even negative ones, we have the mentality of ”when in doubt, spit it out!” If one of us isn't sure whether we should let the other in on our feelings, we try to combat that doubt by speaking our mind. .
.
✨✨It can be a hard habit to get into if you aren't used to it, but bringing up something that is bothering you can prevent bigger fights down the road, and it gives the other person the opportunity to make it right💕 The most important thing is fostering a relationship where there is as little fear of judgment or anger as possible, so opening up and discussing feelings isn't something to be dreaded. .
.

✨✨Oh don’t mind us, just diving into some honest talk about our beauty routine🤩😇💆🏼‍♀️💆🏾‍♀️ .
.
✨✨#ad we are so excited to be partnering with @europeanwax for their #RevealItAll campaign! Waxing is a natural part of our beauty routines, and should be talked about as openly as anything else! Ain’t no taboo here👏🏼👏🏾😘
.
.
✨✨There are so many myths and misconceptions about waxing! And honestly, we’ve fallen victim to so many of them ourselves. Like that body hair has to be super long in order to be waxed... FALSE🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️ It actually only has to be 1/4 of an inch to get grabbed by the wax, so you can get smooth again even if you just have stubble!
.
.
✨✨Another common myth is that you can only get your brows and bikini (or Brazilian) waxed. That’s what I ( 🙋🏼‍♀️) used to think before I started going to @europeanwax in high school. You can pretty much get anything waxed, I’m actually going to try getting my face waxed so my makeup goes on better💄🔥 .
.
✨✨We would love to hear about your experiences with waxing! Tell us your stories/thoughts in the comments💖😘
