Sticking to sports, except when I'm not.
Oh, Valentine’s Day. It’s a day that has taken many forms over the years for me. In fact, I’ll never forget the “V(odka) Day” celebrations of college. Ah, memories. I’ve honestly never disliked Valentine’s Day. It’s always been a day to share appreciation and love for those around me, whether that be friends, my family, …
A couple of weeks ago I published a blog on masking my scars with makeup. I was absolutely floored by the response, and was so humbled by the many who reached out to share their stories with me. From burn scars to acne scars to everything in between, there are many of us dealing with …
I’m going to be honest with y’all: I have very little motivation lately when it comes to working out and eating healthy. It’s bad. And I mean really bad. It’s been especially difficult because I’m a pretty active person overall (or so I tell myself). I’ve run multiple half-marathons and other races. I like how …
I’m back! I’m back! And I’m here with another weekly roundup of what I wore. Although, I realized now that I accidentally labeled last week’s post as this week’s. My bad. I’ve corrected the issue, but why did no one tell me I was ahead an entire week?! More so, how did I get an …
Happy Wednesday, friends! I got to talking with my the high school cheerleaders I coach yesterday about shopping/spending money. One thing led to another and we specifically onto the topic of how to shop in a way to stretch your dollar and make it go further. It was fun to listen to them talk sales, …
Look what has returned! The Instant Pot Diaries! And because this is the second edition, I took the singular diary and made it plural. Big day around here, folks. Big day. If you read last week’s post, you know I tried spaghetti and meatballs for my very first meal. It was an experience. So much …
Hello, hello. Welcome to my weekly roundup of what I wore. There are a few reasons I’ve decided to do a weekly roundup, and I’ll share those reasons with you now: I recently got an Echo Look for my closet and it’s really helpful in documenting what I’ve worn. It’s not quite the same, but …
As you may or may not know, I was in a serious car accident about two years ago. The car I was in was struck by a drunk driver going nearly three times the legal speed limit. Our car was torn open as a result, and the gas tank exploded right by where I was …
In bringing my blog back to life, I’ve thought long and hard about what I want this space to be. I see it as a combination of things, a “lifestyle blog” if you will. I hope I can share my thoughts on anything and everything, whether that’s makeup tutorials, a story from my life …
As I write this, it is currently 3 degrees outside (with a windchill temperature of -12). So fun! I’m not over winter yet, but I’m getting close. We were teased with a couple of 40-50 degree weather days last week, and it made me a little excited for spring. I’m ready to not have to …
Ah, the Instant Pot. I was gifted the magic kitchen appliance for Christmas, which was both exciting and terrifying all at once. You see, I didn’t want an Instant Pot. In fact, I specifically told my mom when she asked that I did not want one. And yet, I received an Instant Pot. Something about …
Oh, 2018. We’re 12 days into the new year and I’ve been telling myself for days that I would revisit my blog. After six months of successfully ignoring it, I wanted to get back into the swing of things and really give this blog thing a shot. And yet, here we are 12 days into …
