Here’s a fact about me: I’m a minimalist. From the way that I dress and make myself up, to the space in which I live and how I nourish my body – I’m all about keeping it simple and clean. To me, having a decluttered life is key to having a decluttered mind,
I recently got my hands on a few Glossier products that I have been dying to try out. I’ve tried and loved some of their beauty products in the past, and had also heard lot’s of great things about their skincare products, so I decided to test them out and see what all the hype was about.
I’ve been really into cooking lately, and have loved trying out and tweaking new recipes. The other day I whipped up some really yummy banana pancakes that I just had to share with you readers.
I’ve always found that children have some of the most amazing things to say. Not yet swayed in any which way by society, their innocence is reflected in their honest and kindhearted views of the world,
Every year after the holidays, I like to take some time to come up with new years resolutions. I think it is so important to go into the year with an intention, and think about how you can better yourself as an individual.
If I were to use one word to describe 2017, I would use the word “unconventional”. Rather than returning to school like most of my friends, I started off the new year by packing up all of my belongings in my dorm room and returning home
During my time in high school, I had the chance to participate in multiple backpacking trips through various national parks and monuments in Southern Utah. When I was a junior, I got to visit canyonlands, and as a senior, I was lucky enough to spend a week in Escalante
The other day, I had the chance to head to the Glossier showroom to checkout what they had. I’ve been dying to get my hands on some of these products, but resisted ordering online, knowing that I could try everything out in person here.
Exacly one year ago on September 2, 2016, I posted on this blog for the very first time. I had no expectiations as to what this space on the internet would be for me, and wasn’t even sure that I would have the motivation and discipline to post frequently. Essentially, I went into this completely blind, knowing only that I wanted some way to document the years to come. I had no idea the impact that this blog would have on me, and how it would inspire me to become a better, brighter person.
Just over a week ago, on one of my last evenings at home, my family and I decided to try something that we had never done. We wanted to spend our last moments together in the incredible valley that we grew up in doing something completely unconventional and out of the box for us. After brainstorming a bit, and bouncing ideas back and forth, we agreed upon an activity. On Saturday evening, we met up with the Fly Sun Valley team, and drove up the ski mountain for our first ever paragliding experience.
If I were to ask myself back in January what I thought I would learn on my leave of absence, I probably would have reluctantly hoped that it would have to do with my health and well being. Hopefully I would have pinpointed exactly what was wrong with me, and I would acquire the necessary skills to fix it.
Almost one year ago to the day, I was in New York City researching contemporary art as part of my senior project. While the project itself was exciting, this was actually a very emotional time for me, as everything I knew and loved was coming to an end. I was getting ready to graduate, leave my friends and my home, and move to a new city. Essentially, all of this was why I started my blog, and while you readers had the opportunity to see glimpses of what was new and fun, what you didn’t really see was the sadness and fear that also comes with change.
The other day, I ran into the dreaded issue that many of us know all too well; my computer ran out of space. So like any mac user who has owned her computer since the prehistoric ages, I went through all of my old photos and videos, and hit “delete.” Upon doing so, however, I stumbled upon a video that I had almost forgotten about and couldn’t bring myself to get rid of.
