Spring Cleaning or Time to Reset?
Spring cleaning might be one of my favorite times of the year. That sounds really dumb and painful, right? I clean a lot because I am really obsessive-compulsive about clean spaces, but even I look forward to the deep clean. I mean, how else am I going to discover the half eaten bag of Reese's pumpkins from Halloween hiding out in my pantry? But this post is about a different spring cleaning...more like hitting the reset button.
Mix 06: Spring Break
For the first time in a very long time I've actually embraced spring break. As an adult I find spring break a completely strange concept since I rarely go on vacation. Most of my school provided "spring breaks" are spent working or catching up on school work. This year I finally chose to do.....nothing. A bit scary but also a bit fun.
Life Lessons I've Learned from The Bachelor
Ah, Bachelor Nation. The nation I have recently joined purely by accident. My friends love The Bachelor family of products almost religiously, and I reluctantly joined their Bachelorette viewing party this last summer. I was likely invited to simply bring homemade guac, but I haven't been able to look away from this beautiful train wreck ever since.
What I'm Listening To, Volume 1: February 2017
What I'm Listening To features a mix of new music I really like. old favorites I've heard recently, and just songs on my radar. While I love theme mixes or mixes curated with a purpose, sometimes it's just fun to get back to basics.
What's In My Gym Bag?
It's now a staple in my life and I've officially become the girl that carries too many bags. Hey, they all serve a purpose and contain different things. Would I really put my gym necessities in with my work stuff? No. Plus, the original goal of the gym bag was to remove the random items from the confines of my car to one transportable place. Success.
Treat Yo Self
Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I know that I've said plenty of terrible things about it here on my blog. "For someone who sure dislikes it...you sure write a lot about it!!" - everyone probably. But, really this is a guide for treating the one person in your life that matters most: yourself.
Mix 06: Lonely Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is just days away now. I'm fully anticipating a night spent catching up on the Bachelor and stuffing my face with chocolate chip cookies. But, the Bachelor isn't for everyone (trust me I find it hard enough to watch tons of women meltdown), so I figured a playlist would be a pretty okay alternative.
Gift Guide: Galentine's Day
Valentine's Day is next week, and I won't even sit here and pretend love is super great. In fact, for the first time in my life I actually hate the word love and everything it encompasses. I am no longer the starry-eyed, hopeful girl I once was. The truth is even when you try your hardest and give everything you have to someone else, it doesn't always work out. I'm not a Debbie Downer but it sucks to feel isolated, alone, and unimportant. So if you're lucky in love, please do tell me your secrets.
