Mid-Year Check-In (Since I’ve Been MIA for Most of 2024)
Sadly, as I take a look at my blog I realize my last post (in March) was also a “What have I been up to?” post. And although I feel like such a crappy blogger for that I find myself torn between trying to do my best to just write about all the things I’ve been up to this year (old habits die hard and I know that this choice would result in, although many posts, poorly written posts), dive back in as if I haven’t neglected this little project of mine for the past five, nearly six months (but that feels irresponsible), or choice three (the one I’ve clearly…

What Have I Been Up To – February Recap
I've been incredibly busy, I just haven't done anything interesting. Sadly there has been no time for hikes or exploring or even checking out new restaurants. The past month has consisted of working, working out, meal-prepping, and sleeping. Not much else.

Turning 33…Happy Birthday to Me!
I feel more like myself, more excited, and more at peace with the world than I have in a long time. My relationship with my body is rough.

2023 was a Strange Year…And I Don’t Know Why
This year was just strange and got away from me. In many ways, I feel like I didn't do much. If you look at my Bucket List and my goals I didn't meet many of them.

The first half of the year was filled with tons of waterfall hikes and the second half was packed with concerts (something I haven't done in years).

The Conjuring Universe is a Disappointment
When we first decided to set out on this horror film marathon, I knew all along it would be turned into a blog post and planned on critiquing each movie. However, now that we are done, I just don't think the movies are worth individual critiques, so instead I will just talk about what I thought and why.

Realizing what Neon Trees actually Means to Me
Last week I went to a Neon Trees concert and I realized they are like a long-distance best friend. The special kind that can go years and years without talking, but never miss a beat the moment they are back together. Confused? Let me explain.

9 Things I No Longer Buy (Because I Make Them)
Today I want to talk about some of the things I have started making on my own that I used to buy from the store that tastes better and/or works better than the store-bought counterpart I had used my entire life.
