In case you missed it, here’s Disney Cruise Recap I – What I Did and Disney Cruise Recap II – What I Ate. Graduate school made me forget a little bit how much I love to read. Since I graduated one month and 9 days ago I have read 8 1/2 books. It’s been lovely. One…
These days when someone asks me where I live, I haven’t been too sure what to tell them. Until last week. My best friend Lynnae decided I’m a gypsy. I like it. I don’t live in Texas anymore, or Orange County. I certainly would not like to say I live with my parents…an almost 28…
I’m making a pact with myself. The comparison needs to stop. It’s funny, I think I struggled less with body image when I was 25 pounds heavier. Maybe there’s a fear in me that I will go back to what I was. Even just saying that now, I have to stop myself and ask, “so…
I’m a 10-day forecast away from leaving Abilene. Leaving Abilene. It feels like just a break, but I know deep down that it’s not. I have more emotions about all of this than I can say. I try not to think about any of it too much. I’m excited to start a career, but terrified to leave…
Okay, so truth is…I do have a microwave. But it’s never used for cooking a meal, mostly just for reheating my coffee. Or warming up some coconut butter. Eating well is so crucial to staying healthy. Making a habit of microwave meals or grabbing fast food are great ways to make yourself tired or sick, or…
1. Cutco knives are serious business. Take them seriously. 2. It’s possible to drive with one hand and the other one bleeding (I just don’t recommend it). 3. No breakfast, loss of blood, and 8 injections of lidocaine are a bad combination. Take precautions. 4. The count matters. I used to think it was weird…
I apologize if you now have Braveheart scenes and speeches running through your head. Actually, I take that back. I’m not sorry. There’s nothing wrong with a little Braveheart in your heart! Before I go any further, congratulations to Kimberly, winner of the Moisturizing Cream! Check your inbox for instructions on how to get your…
Cheers, y’all! Something I’ve always enjoyed as I follow other bloggers has been “favorite” posts — the blogger shares all her (or his) favorite things lately. I have found some great products that way (including some listed here)! So here’s what I’m loving now! Topo Chico (pictured above) I was introduced to Topo Chico in…
“She’s always buzzing just like neon…” Oh John Mayer, if you only knew. Some days I don’t feel like I take a breath until I lay down, but I love the busy. I love the whirlwind. I love learning and growing. This semester I have two clinical placements. One off campus, 8 hours a week…
There have been days lately when I’ve felt that I don’t even have time to breathe; but then I remember there’s always time to make fudge. In the beginning of the semester I felt like I had just jumped into a big pool from the high dive. Silly me, that was just the shallow end.…
