Like most years, part of my goals for 2019 was to go to the gym. I have started out strong, and I really enjoy it! But, taking those first steps in the gym were terrifying. Let’s call that feeling “gym”-timidation. We all see the models and gym rats on Instagram and Facebook. They have worked […]

In college, I felt the way I looked at my body change. I had one of those amazing all-you-can-eat meal plans that let me eat every entree, as many desserts as I wanted, ice cream, and a waffle bar. Although I tried to eat from the salad bar, I just wasn’t as active as I […]
I’m in my 2nd trimester with my third child, and although my nausea will likely stick with me for the rest of the pregnancy, I know it is important to still take care of my body. So I’ve had my eye out for short workouts suitable for pregnant women. Because the internet creepily seems to […]

I adore shopping! New clothes can make you feel confident, attractive, and sometimes even like a whole new person. But unfortunately, my wallet is not as big as my fashion obsession. As it turns out, I am not alone in this predicament. There are hundreds of thousands of fashionistas out there who walk through the […]
Function of Beauty…Personalized shampoo? At first, I thought maybe it was a scam. My friend told me that she ordered personalized shampoo from Function of Beauty and loved it. I thought it was pretty expensive for a few bottles of shampoo. But she said that her hair really felt a lot healthier and stronger. I […]
In 6th grade my family called me “Hermit” because I’d spend hours in my room reading every day. I read two or three books most days. Although my book completion rate has unfortunately decreased over the years, I can still say I’ve read hundreds, if not thousands, of wonderful books in my 30 years. If […]

I am a clothing hoarder. It’s true. I’ll keep 3 pairs of heels that are black because they are all slightly different. One has a peep toe. One has a t-strap. One is just PERFECT with that dress. When I was younger, my mom would tell me if I bought an article of clothing, I […]
