When I went on The Bachelor (round 2), there was an overwhelming feeling of nervousness that I did not experience the first time around. One would probably think this nervousness would be mostly due to the fact that Ben could send me home (with my 8 weeks worth of clothes) right away, but the truth is, it was mostly due to the fact that if I did make it past the first night, it would be a very lonely, friendless experience.
Boy, was I wrong. My arrival on The Bachelor made it seem as though I was an unwelcome guest. In truth, I was welcomed with hugs and excitement. I felt an extreme sense of relief immediately. Many of the girls soon became not only my friends, but my confidantes. There was one friendship in particular that has lasted ever since. ENTER: JoJo, the unicorn!
This little firecracker had me the moment she told me she blindly walked out of the limo in a unicorn mask. I mean, we were destined to be besties. Following the first night, there were many nights of made up games (ya, like this one), fireball shots, and deep talks about our feelings for the guy we were both dating. After getting the call that Ben had sent her home… I knew instantly that she should be the next Bachelorette.
Obviously my feelings were right. Fast forward to today, she’s happily engaged and still my BFF (although having to fight for time more than I had to before!). Watching anyone you love go through the process of reality tv, like The Bachelorette, is a difficult emotion. There was negativity, hate, and countless rumors, but I was so proud of how graceful she was through the entire process.
While the show was airing, JoJo came out to Los Angeles to visit me. During this short, but sweet trip, we decided to take our friendship to the wheat fields. We packed up my Fiat, brought along a photographer and some pretty dresses (a romper for me, of course!) and went to Palmdale, California (of all places). Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.

Hey Becca! I LOVE the blog! So happy for you and congrats on all of your success. I’ve been watching the Bach since the beginning (we are talking sleezy Alex Michel days) and as much of a huge fan I am, I literally only follow you, JoJo, and Jordan on social media. Your snapchats are so hilarious and I just get you. You are always cracking me up and the Bach missed out showing how funny you are! What were they thinking?! Thanks for standing up for who you are and for being such a genuinely kind person. Wishing you all the very best in life!
Awesome. You two are the cutest bff’s ever. I love seeing true friendships come out of this process….sometimes more than the relationship real relationships lol. I love this blog alrrady.

I usually don’t read blogs but I’m going to now! Love you and Jojo! You guys are the cutest and I love, love, your fashion sense. Congrats on your blog!
Becca, I have to say, from the 1st time I saw you on Chris’s season, and get to see a little into who you were. I have been impressed from the start! You’re an amazing woman and a great example of who I’d want my daughter to be. (Except I only have 2 adult sons 🙂 )
You’re so amazing and beautiful, inside and out! I love your blog already, and I look forward to see what the future holds for you! You have endless possibilities and I know that you’re going to make the best of every one of them! God Bless and stay true to yourself, because the woman you are is why you’re loved so much, even by strangers! Much happiness and success, with much love and support always. ……Just a Mom from Michigan. ?
Becca,
You are amazing and the blog is great, except there are a few typos ? I can proofread it for you! Let me know. ?
Ugh, this blog is everything, #GOALS ! You are so inspiring Becca! We need more beccas in the world! I love you!
Never been into blogging, but you and JoJo’s style and sense of humor speak to me! I will continue to follow for beauty tips, style inspirations, and laughs! Thanks! Xo
Hi Becca!
My name is Emily, and I’m 17 years old…I just want to say how thankful I am that you went on the bachelor. Sure it didn’t work out for you, and I’m sorry for that….but I was able to discover you and that means so much to me! You’re an excellent role model for young girls, for all girls really! Yours and JoJo’s friendship is something everyone deserves! I’m excited about your blog!
One day maybe I’ll happen to run into you 🙂
Much love….keep doing you!
xoxo Emily!
Yass finally! Love it! Congratsss!
Becca-
I know so many girls probably say this, but watching you on Chris’ season, I instantly thought “that girl and I could be besties!” Your style, humor, faith, adventurous spirit, and grace are so admirable. I loved watching you on Ben’s season as well, especially watching two of my favorite gals become BFF’s! You truly seem so genuine, and I love seeing genuine people so happy and accomplish their dreams. I can’t wait to keep up with your awesome blog, and if you’re ever in Oregon for any reason, I would love do fun photo session for you (there are so many amazing places to explore here!) or even just grab drinks and show you around.
Congrats on everything Becca- you deserve it!
Becca,
incredible first piece. hope you won’t mind my unsolicited advice: I think bachelorette fans would love to hear behind the scenes things from your experience on ben’s season. what did y’all do when the cameras were off, how you spent your days, who was closest to whom, what the relationships are now, etc.
so happy you’ve let us in on your little world!
I will take this into consideration! Great idea! xo
Love love love your blog, I’ve been waiting for it! It looks amazing and I cannot wait to see what else is to come! 🙂

You two are definitely bestfriend goals! Maybe I need to go on the bachelor to meet my long lost bestie! Haha
Beautiful website and photos. But I keep thinking about the awful turn of events for the new Bachelor season and wondered if Luke Pell holds any interest for you? 🙂
Hi becca! congratulations on your blog! I hope you have so much fun with it! also, where did jojo get her white off the shoulder shirt?
Hello Becca! I was so happy to see you launched a blog, I love it so so much, I love your social media accounts and I think you seem very talented and genuine and awesome:) I saw a comment above suggesting behind the scenes from the show, and I think that is an incredible idea that people would LOVE, so I second that:) I also would love to hear about how you all stay in shape and have such nice figures, what do you do for exercise and diet? They never show anyone exercising on the show but I imagine you all do….would love a behind the scenes view of life on the show! (Also, not sure if you and Robert are dating or just friends but I wish you the best of luck and think you are adorable together, both of you are some of my favorites from the show, as is Jojo) keep doing you! You seem incredible and I can’t wait to see more❤️
hey becca! love your website 🙂 I can tell
you have put in a lot of work and it looks great! will you post a blog about your fitness routine and how you get that bikini ready body? love ya xoxo
becca
Always my favorite on season w/Chris. You often speak of your bff, JoJo, are you still great friends with Whitney and Kaitlyn? Any others from that season?
Dear Becca,
You are so beautiful and funny! I look forward to reading more of your blog posts! Cheers to life and friendship xo
