Glennon Doyle’s: Untamed.

Since the moment that Glennon Doyle announced she would soon be releasing another book, I was ecstatic. I always intend for these kinds of posts to be a review of the book, but they end up being love letters to them, in a way. I truly love this book, and love can be messy.

Back in 2017, a little bit after I first started this blogging thing, I made 52 things about me list.

 The year of Tequila and Red Lipstick   This year was a lot. It seems like every year for the last few years have been a lot. But with all of it has come with growth and lots of it. I’ve surprised myself many times, found even more strength I didn’t know I had butContinue reading “The year of Tequila and Red Lipstick.”

Grateful Challenge.

This month on the Bellas Podcast, Nicole and Brie talked a lot about gratitude, mentioned the many things that they’re grateful for in their lives, and that gave me an idea.

Movie Monday: Christmas Movies.

Christmas movies might be my favorite part about the season… besides the decor of course. I SHOULD have done this post sooner, but I got slammed with work, and ya know what, shit happens.

Music Monday: Christmas Edition.

Is there really any better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to listen to Christmas music? No, I don’t think so.

I’m really big on giving back whenever possible regardless of the season, but around the holidays I get especially into it. Whether it’s the salvation army buckets, toy drives, or merely paying or the coffee of the person behind you in line, giving back is what the holidays should be all about. It’s heartwarming givingContinue reading “‘Tis the season to give back.”

Twenty-Six.

Do what makes your soul happy.   I carried this quote with me through all of my 25th year. I made a promise to myself that I’d remember to do more of the things that I loved no matter if people didn’t understand them, or thought they were dumb. And that’s exactly what I did.Continue reading “Twenty-Six.”

Or what their favorite part is most would probably say the presents, or the time spent with family, family traditions, you get the picture. We’ll my answers a little different.

Take that me time, you’ll be thankful you did.

A few weeks ago, my mom, my sister, my brother and I, took a last minute two-hour drive to Rhode Island for the weekend because we were craving the beach. This mini trip was important because regardless of the fights that occurred because that’s what siblings do and the leftover anxiety I was filled withContinue reading “Take that me time, you’ll be thankful you did.”
