I've come up to another crossroads. This seems to be happening a lot lately; bare with me! But, I once again was smacked in the face with the fact that I really should not place too much expectation on future plans (especially since I'm about to be a military spouse, I really want this to…
A Little Breath of Fresh Air
It is no lie that I have been MIA these past few weeks. I've felt so guilty that I have not even put aside time to read my favorite blogs. So, if you haven't seen me around liking your posts or commenting here and there, it is not because I have not wanted to! In…
Hello Monday, I’m here.
Today I woke up with a gnawing feeling of panic. Not ideally how I like to start the school week. My subconcious somehow leaked some thoughts that I have kept bottled up for awhile now. To be honest, it was the first time I had allowed myself to really let myself feel how it would…

Today I was rummaging through my closet at home and figured it was time to sort through all that childhood nostalgia. It has always been hard for me to judge what I will appreciate having kept and what I really just need to throw out. I was one of those kids that had an incredibly…
A Very Lazy Productive Day

But, for you bath-takers/lovers/relaxers, I couldn't help but share my excitement with this brand. In 2011 I made my infamous (to…
Raw Vegan Pecan Pie for Everyone
More and more people are going down different paths of healthy living these days, and even people like me (who can't seem to give up cheese) are finding themselves eating healthier. Well, I'm making strides. I've eaten a few vegan/vegetarian recipes that furthered my concept of boring health food. Essentially I've had a lot of…
Success and Small Talk
One of the most challenging things I have had to deal with the past few months is accepting some of the consequences of my decision to withdraw and transfer schools this past semester. It is such a habit to feel like I have to do things the way they were meant to be done. I…
