Bear with me on this post because as of right now I’m not really sure where it’s heading – but, I’m watching this movie right now and feel compelled to write about it. I’m going to start off by saying I’m one of those people who doesn’t like Anne Hathaway. I admit I don’t have…

A year ago today I was pretty unhappy. Maybe people knew this, maybe they didn’t. I don’t usually like talking about my feelings or my failures and I definitely don’t like sharing my overwhelm with anyone. It was like I was in limbo and while nothing was really going wrong, I still struggled to feel…

In about 6 weeks I’ll be 29. I’ll be celebrating my 29th birthday by running my third RunDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon. I ran the last two alone but am happy to report this time I have a group of high school friends to join me. Celebrating this weekend doing something that challenges me…

In a really surprising but happy turn of events, there are a lot of new followers of this blog! Aside from some family and a few friends, there is actually a growing number of people who choose to read and subscribe to my blog and I’m incredibly humbled and grateful for that. Aside from reading…

Lately, I’ve been in a rut. Actually, for most of 2019, I’ve been stuck in this cycle of the same routine and I’m not here for it. Life can be really, really hard. No matter what you have going for you, the past can creep up and haunt you, circumstances can get the best of…

On January 1, 2019, I was ready to tackle the year head-on. I was excited, motivated and looking forward to a fresh start. Two weeks later, that all went out the window. I was still excited and enjoying a fresh start but my motivation started lacking. Obviously, this isn’t a surprise because a new year…

One day I woke up knowing I needed to make a change and from that day on, my life has been incredible. Just kidding. But wouldn’t it be nice if life worked that way? Since it doesn’t, all we can really do is try our best every day to be a little better and maybe…

At this moment — I am incredibly happy. I am so excited about where my life and career are headed and I’m proud of everything I’ve done to get myself to this point. At this moment — I am so grateful for everyone and everything in my life and I sometimes wonder where I would…

For the last few years, I’ve been half-ass investing in myself. I hate that term but it’s really the only one that fits here. I’ve spent a lot of money trying to better myself, learn more, and just generally trying to live a more fulfilling life. The money was well spent on some things, but…

The most popular posts on this blog are the ones where I write facts about myself. It’s probably because the majority of my readership consists of family/friends. If you’re not family or a friend, you’re the real MVP for following along and I thank you. Anyways, since I haven’t posted one of these in a…

If you don’t follow my Instagram (you should), then you might not have realized I’m on a journey of trying to do better. In school, work, relationships, and just in general. I want to be better and live better. The problem is that old habits die hard and it’s really easy to fall back to…

I really don’t like the term “resolutions”. For one, I don’t really know what it means and two, I don’t think we should limit ourselves to goals once a year. Life is short so we should constantly be trying to do better and meet new goals. That being said, the New Year is a good…

It took me maybe 3 tries to get the title of this post right because I genuinely can’t believe 2018 is ending. This year flew by and it feels like nothing happened, yet everything happened at the same time. I know I’ve written learning lessons in the past, and trust me, I’ve learned A LOT…

A little over a month ago I turned 28. I read that out loud as I wrote it and had to second guess myself because I don’t feel 28. When I was younger, I thought that 28-year-olds were all married, had kids and owned their own homes. Now that I am that age, I realize that…

I love reading facts about people. I don’t know why but I really enjoy it. And, based on the pageview analytics for this blog, so do all (3) of you. Just kidding, there’s more than 3 of you. So in an effort to give you all the content you crave, here are 25 more facts…

You know those people who are so busy that they have a full-time job, run a side business, have active social lives, manage a million other things yet still seem to have it all together? Yeah, well they either have a lot of help, they’re superheroes or they’re frauds. It should come as no surprise…

It’s safe to say I’ve been on a handful of interviews over the years. I wouldn’t say I’m a master at them, but I know how to conduct myself and how to sell myself as a potential employee. And, as much as I’ve learned on my own by going on interviews, I think I’ve learned…

It’s no secret that I’ve never really loved my full-time jobs. I’ve had part-time jobs I loved, but those won’t pay all my bills or support my online shopping habit. My first “real world” job was in TV ad sales. I was a sales assistant and essentially the middle (wo)man between national TV stations and…

I’ve had great friends and I’ve lost great friends. Frankly, I’m thankful I still have friends because, for as long as I can remember, I have always been brutally honest. I’ve never been one to sugarcoat anything, and I’ve been called a bitch and an asshole on more than one occasion because of it. If you’re getting…

In a surprising turn of events, my most popular post is the one where I literally just listed 50 random facts about myself. So, in an effort to give the people what they want, here are 50 more. I know how to ski AND snowboard. I just started watching This Is Us after I told…
