Hello and welcome to another edition of #TransparentTuesday! During #TransparentTuesday, we remove the rosy filters of social media and share real life. Today, we're going to have some real talk about depression. I wrote a previous Transparent Tuesday post back in 2014 about depression, and wrote about my history with depression and anxiety WAY back in 2011 here.

Brand Spotlight: NY Collection at Macy’s
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Macy's. All opinions are 100% mine. The weather is sweltering and everything I'm putting on these days must be easy to grab and go, and stay cool.
