Staying positive in a world that is laden with negativity is not easy. It’s like trying to walk through mud and keep your shoes clean. It’s probably not going to happen unless you wrap your feet in those plastic shoe covers. And as much as I’ve seen the contraptions floating around social media, I’ve never […]
Tomorrow is my birthday! I am so excited to turn 23. Birthdays make me nervous, but I try to lean into the uncomfortable feelings that change can bring. I love birthdays. The selfish reason is because I love to have a day that is all about me. As a sister, the eldest of four girls, […]
I love being a college student! It is a lot of work, but I enjoy being challenged. I love knowing that I am taking small steps towards my future. Last semester, I had 5 classes. I took a couple years off from school after high school, so getting back into a routine of going to […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about what I want my personal statement, or mantra, for 2018 to be. I also want to decide on a one word resolution for the New Year. I spent a lot of time watching New Years Goals videos on youtube and reading other blogs and Pinterest posts […]
I am exactly one month away from turning 23. Growing up, I never would have expected to still be living at home at this age. It being 2018, living at home in your 20’s is actually pretty common.

2018. I can’t believe it is 2018. The year started with a false alarm. “My phone says it’s already midnight!” someone cried out. “Mine too!” I giggled. “Follow the countdown!” my Auntie said to us in reply. The countdown started. 10….9….8…. My stomach flipped. 7…6…5…I fought back hot tears. 4…3…2…I looked at all the anxious […]
Growing up, education was always of upmost importance to my family. It was both heavily enforced and encouraged to learn something new everyday. I remember being stopped in my tracks by my father, who would then tell my sister and I to stop whatever we were doing and go watch a documentary on PBS about […]
One of the biggest mental blocks that I need to learn to overcome, is being afraid to do things because I’m scared that I won’t be as good at it as somebody else. Today I filmed 3 youtube videos for my youtube channel. This is a big deal for me… convincing myself to film when […]
Ok, so the title for this blog might be a little bit dramatic. But it isn’t wrong…. Changing up your hair can and does change up your life. A lot of girls and women change their hair after a big change occurs in their lives. Scientists say that this is a way for a woman […]
Whew. Today was a long day! I guess it wouldn’t seem like such a long day, if it weren’t sandwiched between a super long week and a expectantly busy tomorrow. It has been a crazy couple weeks and I am feeling pretty exhausted. Accomplished, but also in desperate need of an expresso. I woke up […]
