Hey Friends! I’m so excited to announce that I’m 1 of the 4 finalists for the P&G Have You Tried This Yet contest in the Home category! There’s some stiff competition in my category, but I know you guys can help me to bring home a win!!

It would truly be an honor to represent a brand we all know and trust, but…

I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

The tastemaker that receives the most votes in each category (BEAUTY, HOME, FAMILY) will win a featured place on the Trend Trio blog, where I’ll share tips on making everyday life easier. Please click here to vote for me via Facebook.

You are allowed to vote once a day until October 3rd at 5pm EST.

Thanks in advance!! Below, I included a link to my video submission. Some of you have never seen me in person, nor heard my voice. I will be producing more video content for the blog in the upcoming weeks. As always, I appreciate your support. xo

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
