A Budgeted Update!

TGIF!! It's FriYAY and I'm super glad! I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow! Is it sad that at this is something I look forward to now?! Those 5am mornings get old! It has been a busy two weeks, hence the lack of posts. But I am back now and ready to blog it up!!!

Tonight's wine of choice is one I tried on a whim about a week ago from Winn Dixie. My wine taste range from white to red but always on the drier side. A friend turned me on to red blends/ red zinfandel when I first started trying different wines. I have a few favorites but it's always nice to change it up! I love the label on this bottle!! Babe is into watching all the tattoo reality shows so it immediately caught my eye! Secretly, I really want a sleeve lol! Could you imagine?! Fun fact: I have no tattoos! Not a one! I was always too indecisive. One day though, I hope! This red is light and fruity, a little dry but someone who enjoys a smoother taste would love it! I really recommend trying different type of reds or whites, there are so many! Don't stick with the same old!! This one is moderately priced, this week it is on special with one of those fancy membership cards for $9.99. I paired it with Chipotle burrito bowl, ha! See how fancy!!
 In all seriousness, I love wine and not just for the relaxing effect; it bring people together! So, like I said, it's been a crazy couple weeks! Brad was home for a good amount of days so we did our normal couplely stuff and as usual, I worked! This assignment takes babe to Texas and Tennessee, after all that craziness starts the birthday celebrations!! I will be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my 25th birthday, wink! Ha, aging isn't terrible. I'm actually enjoying it. Growing up bring a ton of changes and change is good sometimes.
Recently, I've lost and gained a few friends, realized the person I have become, and grown to love her. Not to go from wine to sappy, but as turn another page and journey toward thirty (ya like that, huh?) I have come to realize what an idiot I was in my early twenties. Literally, probably one of the dumbest! Ha, but I've lived and learned and become who I am so let's go! I'm actually looking forward to 30, ten years ago I would NOT have admitted that! But now, I've got my babe, started with a great company and look forward to finishing school and finishing in the position I dream about! People will change, it's inevitable. I don't like it, it is painful but it makes you stronger! This birthday will actually be a celebration!

So , apart of growing up involves big investments and adult choices. As terrifying as they are, ya gotta do 'em and with the right partner, you can accomplish so much! Currently, Brad and I are house shopping. You really get to know someone when you are searching for a home to buy together. Taking two people who have similar preferences but completely different ones at the same time and trying to find the perfect first home is difficult! Looking through Instagram and Pinterest (which only makes it worse!), you try to decide how you even want to start decorating! All these adult decisions! I'm looking forward to it all, we shall see!!
I hope everyone has a safe weekend! I am hoping to relax and tan!! It's been some week!!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Save the Fave!

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle and a whole lotta Jesus! Every summer and spring, I get a tad mani obsessed! Glitter, pastels, and accent nails take over from the matte, jewel tones, and dark colors of winter and fall! I love doing my own nails, mainly because I'm a control freak and I hate bubbles, smudges, creases, and any possibility that would cause me to tell the manicurist to redo each flaw. I think they would kill me, haha! I absolutely love sparkles and accent nails! I know this isn't a new trend and people have since moved on to nail ombrees but I'm still doing the accent, surprise surprise I'm not up on the new trends! Why change if I still love it?! One polish that is my summer go-to is this sparkle from Sephora by OPI, "Meet Me at the Disco". It is the perfect pairing to almost every spring/summer shade. Since I am a true Florida girl, spring and summer tend to be one in the same, as are the shades! We only really have three seasons:...
