After an entire season of wedding after wedding (with still more to go), there’s no denying that many of us have been left pondering the layout of our own nuptials. One of the biggest details on our minds (besides finding that show-stopping dress): Nabbing ourselves the MOST swoon-worthy wedding cake. For your future wedding, why not get a little creative when it comes to choosing the centerpiece of this MAJOR life moment. Geode wedding cakes are trending and you should totally rock one (pun intended) for your big day. From jewel-toned desserts to cakes coated in gold, scroll on and get inspired by these better than jewelry wedding cakes.
1. Exposed Geode Cake: Take the less is more approach when it comes to selecting your big day dessert. This exposed layer cake is perfect for giving your geode confection a more natural style.

7. Crystal Cake: It’s what’s inside that truly matters — and we’re not talkin’ about the flavor of the cake. Take a softer approach to your geode dessert by painting a design influenced by the rock’s stunning crystals, without the harsh outer look of the actual element.

8. Dark Tone Geode Cake: You’re not afraid to embrace your dark side. For your big day, skip the pretty pinks and pastels and opt for a crystal dessert with a theatrical essence. This deep jewel-toned design is sure to catch the eyes of ALL your wedding guests — when they’re not drooling over your dress, that is ;)
9. Modest Geode Cake: Display your love of geodes on the lighter side by mixing and matching the detailing of your cake. From crystal accents to watercolored layers, changing up designs is ideal for giving your marital cake that coveted bohemian vibe.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
