Like many, I usually set out into a new year with lofty goals of what I hope to accomplish. I will be self aware enough to say that I often fall flat on my face and give up as soon as I can. I have the best of intentions but will find the easy way …
Why Hello 2020!
Truth: New Years Eve usually makes me a little sad. I think it's the same feeling I get once my birthday passes. Expectations are at an all time high and usually it falls a little short. In the past 29 years of my life I've only celebrated New Years Eve outside of my house twice- …
Remembering Ashley
Last night as I was laying awake thinking about things, I remembered where I was 8 years ago. I don’t often do that because more often than not- the nights and days are awfully insignificant. With the help of Facebook, I know that 8 years ago today I wasn’t feeling all too well. At the …
5 Things I learned in 5 Years of Being an Auntie
A lot can change in 5 years. I remember when we received the call in the early hours of a Monday morning that my sweetly stubborn niece had finally decided to show up after 41+ weeks of anxiously waiting. I'll never forget the timing because I had had 4 days off prior to her arrival …

My DIY Halloween Costume 2019
In terms of favorite holidays- Halloween doesn't top my list. I'm not a scary movie, haunted house, blood and guts kind of gal. Since playing dress up was and will always be a favorite past time of mine- you'd think I would be all about this holiday... That just simply isn't the case. When and …
Hello Hydration!

Last 90 Days Challenge
Consistency is key. That's what they say... ...Who are they? Are they consistent? How did they get that way? I need answers! Being consistent just isn't something that comes easy to me. I have always wanted to be someone who acts out of habit and lives by a set schedule but the routine never sticks. …
ULTA 21 Days of Beauty: Fall 2019 Haul
Of all the stores I shop at- there are few I am loyal to. I appreciate brands for their purpose and functionality in my life- like Amazon for its quick and easy service and Walmart for their prices. Neither of these stores have reward programs which is just fine to me given their overall purpose …
Amazon Finds 1.0
I was sitting down to coffee with a good friend when she said "I don't know anyone who shops on Amazon as much as you". I didn't know whether or not to be offended. I honestly wasn't because 1. she probably wasn't wrong and 2. my post woman can totally agree given the number of …
Being Happy for Them
Have you ever had something said to you a million times but one day it finally holds meaning? Like what was being said was just a grouping of words until- BAM- those words made sense? That happened to me last week. I had been listening to a podcast while crossing things off my to-do list …
