I’m wishing you a healthy, happy New Year! Happy New Year! I hope you’ve been finding some time to rest & recharge during the holiday season. I had a low key, relaxing Christmas & New Year’s Eve & plan on spending the weekend cleaning our apartment before heading back to school on Monday! (Where did [...]

Healthy (ish!) Meals for the Lazy Chef
I’ve been trying to think of cooking as a form of self-care recently! I’m quite possibly the laziest person ever when it comes to cooking. I like easy, quick recipes, & even then I might order takeout if I don’t feel like making something. 🤷🏻♀️😂 I’ve been trying to cook at home more recently & [...]
Summer Insecurities
Bottom line: it’s a whole lot harder to feel good about your body if you don’t feel good on the inside. Hi there! “Love yourself!” “Love your flaws!” “Your body is beautiful!” How often are we told these things? I’ve said them in previous posts, I’m sure. What we don’t hear as frequently though, is [...]
Mental Health Check-In
Hi there! I started this blog to challenge myself to be vulnerable, so here goes: I’ve been struggling a bit in the mental health department. I’m okay & thankfully I have plenty of established coping skills, but my anxiety has been not so great lately. (Edit: woke up in a much better headspace this morning, [...]
Summer Goals
Hi! It’s summer, baby! It hasn’t fully hit me yet but I think I officially feel the tension starting to leave my jaw. I’ve been studying for a teacher certification test (I passed!!) & working on my grad school coursework. So while “summer break” is relative, I feel thankful to have some free time to [...]
Reasons to go to Therapy When You Feel Totally Fine
The color of this dress (from Target!) makes me so happy! “What’s wrong?” “Are you okay?” are a few questions I received when I told family & friends that I was going to therapy. While therapy is wonderful for those who are struggling (& if you are struggling, there is help out there for you!), [...]
How I’m Currently Practicing Self-Care
Hi there! I hope you’re having a good week so far! John & I celebrated our 5 year anniversary (of dating, not married yet!) on Tuesday. It was definitely the highlight of my week! We went to a little Mexican restaurant with cute outdoor seating. We drank a pitcher of margaritas & daydreamed about where [...]
Feeling Hopeful!
Hi there, it’s been awhile! Life gets hectic (I’m sure you get it!) & I also wasn’t feeling particularly inspired to write for a little while there. Stay tuned soon though, I have some fun fashion & beauty blog posts coming your way! Feeling so much hope & good things on the horizon! This weekend, [...]
Tips for Becoming a (Reluctant) Morning Person!
I’ve always been a night owl. I love staying up late & sleeping in, & it’s been my default my whole life. My grandpa always used to tell me that my ideal work day would be between noon-8 pm; he was totally right! I teach 2nd grade, which isn’t exactly conducive to sleeping in or [...]
Don’t Let Others Dim Your Light
I’m sending you love on this gloomy Monday. I hope your week is as wonderful as you are! Happy (ish?) Monday! We have NO control over other people; what they say, what they do, how they interpret things you say or do. We can only control our own reactions. That’s easier said than done, but [...]
