Getting on a good health and fitness kick can be so difficult and daunting. I’ve spend the past couple of years exploring different health and fitness trends, and have learned so much in doing so.
From eating healthy to working out, here’s my starters guide to health and fitness — from eating right and working out, to all of the do’s and don’ts I’ve learned along the way.
REAL TALK — I’M NOT A MORNING PERSON.
But in the recent years, I’ve learned to be one. I’ve found that on the days that I do manage to get up early and get my day going, I feel so much more productive. I work a full time job and have to be up early during the week, but I know that a lot of you readers are on summer break, and don’t have tons going on in the morning. Whether you’re just wanting to add a little bit of extra structure in your life, or need to get up early for school or work, these 5 simple steps will really help you out in the morning.
If you’re not listening to podcasts, you’re doing it wrong.
Living in LA, I spend a lot of time in my car, and I’ve recently found that Podcasts really help pass the time. Whether I’m in need of a laugh, some inspo, or a little bit of advice, there’s a Podcast out there for virtually any topic.
Finally getting around to sharing my pics from my trip to China back in March, 2019. I’ve been meaning to put this blog post together literally since the day I got back, but Ive been so busy with school and work this semester, that I just haven’t had the time!
It’s been a while since I’ve had a moment to actually sit down and write a long blog post. If I’m going to be completely honest, I feel like my blog has been, and still is going through somewhat of a transformation. Back in 2016 when I first created this site, it was more or less of an online diary.
With Christmas Day just around the corner, it’s officially crunch time. For those of us who aren’t so ahead of the game, these last couple of days before christmas can get a little bit hectic, and we can find ourselves running around like mad men trying to come up with some last minute gifts.
I’ve always loved New York. Something about the city buzz — that unique energy that is so apparent there — has always pulled me. While I grew up in a small town, from a very young age I knew that eventually I would end up in New York. I didn’t know when or how, but I just knew that it would happen.
I've spend the past couple of weeks in Sun Valley, ID, spending time with family and enjoying what this place has to offer. While the town is small, there's no shortage of things to do. From finding hidden gems and taking in the scenary, to eating out at delicious restaurants and attending local events here's what my past couple of weeks have looked like...
So… it’s been a minute since I last posted, and if you’ve followed me for a while, you also probably noticed that I’ve changed things up on this site quite a bit. I started this blog almost two years ago in August, and have been working hard ever since to familiarize myself with the blogging world (learning all about the ins and outs of what it take to own and manage a functioning website).
Ok moment of truth: I had a really hard time figuring out how to balance my schedule this semester. I seemed to have it down last fall, and over winter break I was on a roll, but upon returning to school at the end of January
Recently, while on a little shopping spree, I happened to pick up Chanel’s Eau Tendre perfume, and I must say, it’s my new obsession. I’m usually not the one to go crazy over a perfume as I am actually quite sensitive to smell, however, this fragrance is perfection.
Choosing to take this semester off from school was a huge decision to make, and while ultimately, I think I made the right choice, there have been difficult aspects to it. For the first time in my life, I no longer define myself as a student, and have had to reestablish myself in my own community, apart from my close friends. Stripped completely of who I once was, I have been left with a chance to redefine myself, and choose who I want to be.
February has officially arrived, and it’s time to kiss the January blues goodbye. While January isn’t my favorite month of the year, it definitely wasn’t that bad, and I did have the opportunity to try out some new products, many of which I’ve come to love. Here are a few of my favorites from the month.
