This has been a season of grinding and pushing through. Within this I think I've lost a bit of my identity and misplaced it elsewhere (in my work). Here I talk about the purpose behind these new habit trackers, what I'm working through, and what I'm looking forward to. Let me know if it is helpful or resonates with you!

I wrote this over summer when I was just starting to meet new people in a new state and finding my bearings. I'd love to say that I found them, but I've not. I'm still working through this and in effort to remind myself what I learned over summer, I pulled out my notes to find this quote. "God will fight for you, you need only be still." This is difficult for me to comprehend in the season. I feel like I'm constantly fighting where I'm at. I'm not feeling settled, nor at home

I've been wondering how to feel more like myself lately. I've been wrapped up in work and running the home, I started feeling like I was doing nothing for me. Obviously working and helping our home run smoothly both benefit me, but it's not creative and it's not "fun". I needed to bring back the things I used to do for no reason, just because I felt like it. I heard my coach, Sam Laura Brown, say she did a "self trust experiment" in the past and she started with a month of cl

I try to stick to the same meals each month to save time and money. Below are my favorites because I just throw the ingredients together and I can't really mess it up! They also don't have a lot of components and I can clearly see what I'm making which is so helpful when my brain is prioritizing other things. Spaghetti Spaghetti, zucchini, onion, beef, sauce Chicken Fried Rice Rice, chicken, onion, garlic, peas, carrots, soy sauce BBQ Chicken Pizza Pizza crust, white sauce, m

Biloxi was beautiful! Such a pretty beach and cool vibe at the restaurants. We just stayed for one night and it was lovely. Our Airbnb was a short drive from a row of restaurants on the white sandy beach. We loved the bed and all the amenities; it was super convenient to be able to do a load of laundry while we were there. We ate at Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant . The service was great but I would say this restaurant is known more for their drinks rather than their

Some pictures from our trip to Nashville! Such a cool place with a ton of live music and places to see. We only stayed for one night but would definitely go again in the future for a longer period of time. Our one bedroom Airbnb was just a 10 minute drive from downtown Nashville, very convenient! We had dinner at Rock Bottom , although I would want to try a different restaurant in the future but all of them were full! We visited on a Monday night in June and there was a sign

426 days in Maryland. I had a lot of different emotions about leaving - stressed because everything was changing, sad because we made so many memories there, excitement for our cross country road trip, and blessed to be able to start this incredible new journey in California. The movers, Jim & Marvin with Stewart Moving & Storage , came and packed up our whole apartment; they did an excellent job. The apartment was bare, echo-y, and we had a lot of spare time! I felt conten

Just give me a good list I can browse and I’m a happy woman. Today I’m sharing one of my lists: my top 5 favorite items I love using during spring and summer! These are some of my go-to’s, and since warm weather is approaching I thought it was the perfect time to share! Enjoy! #1 INTENSE MOISTURIZING CREAM I have dry skin, so I have been utilizing this moisturizer during spring and I am loving how it makes my skin feel. Although I’m in love, I am prepared to listen to my ski

Scheduling my day in detail has been such a helpful tool in my life & business! I can confidently say I am more productive each day with a schedule than when I was just following a long to-do list. It's so freeing not having to decide what task I'm going to do next, at what time or for how long. I feel like I am more relaxed even! I put more effort in when I do a task because I can always see the "light at the end of the tunnel" [my break], and I choose to stick it out for th

I want to share about this moisturizer I’ve been using for 2 months because maybe like me, you’ve been looking for a good moisturizer that will help your dry skin. I have very dry skin so when I say moisturizer is my everyday hero, I mean it. My dry skin can sometimes feel very tight & it's hard to concentrate or relax when it feels so dried out [like SpongeBob without any water]. There are even times it can feel flakey [not a fan]. So needless to say having the right moist

At the end of the day, our lashes are a huge part of our feminine features. Eyelashes add protection, definition, contrast, and femininity to our eyes. Our lashes can add a powerful statement to any look, and there’s so many ways to create it - no matter if you’re looking for all-natural, everyday, or dramatic - your lashes can do the job. In this article, I’m going to share all the ways that you can make your lashes become everything you want them to be - and in turn, bring

The goal of this post is to give you some ideas of how to become your own best friend and rock your own world! When we think of "treat yourself" and "self care" stuff, we often jump to spending money. I'm going to list 15 ways I practice self care. Ways that I create a calm environment when I'm feeling stressed or in need of a break. Ways I make an enjoyable space for myself, relaxing moments in my every day, more energy while tackling my to do list, and real kindness and lov

We went to Annapolis for the day! Just an hour away from our place in Belcamp MD, we decided to go for the whole day and celebrate my husband's birthday. FIRST STOP: SHIRLEY'S Our first stop was brunch at Shirley's in Annapolis. He got a huge omelet and I got massive chocolate chip pancakes [which I should’ve ordered as a half order]. The mimosas were fabulous and all the servers were really kind. This restaurant was so awesome, it's become one of our top favorite places to

Summer is coming!! As a California girl who just experienced her first East Coast winter, I am SO ready for a California summer. I’m excited for the hot weather and TANNING. So ready for it. Products I'll Need Timewise 3D Cleanser and my Intense Moisturizing Cream to keep my skin soft, glowy, CLEAR, and anti-aging. Subtle Tanning Lotion to add some color to my legs & arms on those days I don't make it to the beach to tan. After-Sun Replenishing Gel for all those hours I'l
